future reference.
Never allow water to come into contact with any of the electrical parts
of the machine: Danger of short circuit! Steam and hot water may cause
burning! Never direct the hot water jet towards body parts: Danger of
burning!
Intended Use
The coff ee machine is intended for domestic use only. Do not make any
technical changes or use the machine for unauthorised purposes since this
would create serious hazards! The appliance is not to be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, mental or sensory abilities or
with scarce experience and/or expertise, unless they are supervised by a
person responsible for their safety, or they are instructed by this person on
how to properly use the machine.
Power Supply - Power Cord
Only connect the coff ee machine to a suitable socket. The socket to which
the machine is connected must be:
- Compatible with the type of plug installed on the machine.
- Sized to comply with the data on the tag attached to the appliance.
- Connected to an effi cient earthing system.
Never use the coff ee machine if the power cord is defective or damaged. If
the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by
its authorised service centre.
Do not pass the power cord around corners, over sharp edges or over hot
objects and keep it away from oil.
Do not use the power cord to carry or pull the coff ee machine.
Do not pull out the plug by the power cord or touch it with wet hands. Do
not let the power cord hang freely from tables or shelves.
For the Safety of Others
Prevent children from playing with the machine. Children are not aware
of the risks related to electrical household appliances. Do not leave the
machine packaging materials within the reach of children.
Danger of Burns
Never direct the jet of hot steam and/or hot water towards yourself or oth-
ers: Danger of burning!
Machine Location - Suitable Location for Operation
and Maintenance
For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of over-
turning the appliance or being injured.
• Choose a location that is suffi ciently well-lit, clean and near an easily
reachable socket.
• Provide for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration;
• While switching on or off the machine, we suggest placing an empty
glass under the dispensing spout.
Do not keep the machine at temperatures below 0°C. Frost may damage
the machine. Do not use the coff ee machine outdoors.
In order to prevent its housing from melting or being damaged, do not
place the machine on very hot surfaces and close to open fl ames.
Cleaning and Storing the Machine
Keep the machine at its best, clean and store it properly.
Since the machine uses natural ingredients to brew beverages (coff ee
beans, water, milk, etc.), some residues of ground coff ee or condensed
water could be present on its supporting surface. For this reason we rec-
ommend to periodically clean both the visible parts of the machine and
the area beneath it.
Before storing the machine we strongly recommend to clean it:
- Water left in the tank and/or in the water circuit for several days
should not be consumed. If the machine is going to remain inactive
for a long time, dispense water as described in the “Hot Water Dis-
pensing” section.
- Turn off the power button and clean the machine. Finally, remove
the plug from the socket. Wait for the machine to cool down.
Never immerse the machine in water! Store it in a dry place, out of the
reach of children. Keep it protected from dust and dirt.
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the internal parts of the machine.
Malfunction
In case of failure, problems or a suspected fault resulting from the falling
of the machine, immediately remove the plug from the socket. Never at-
tempt to operate a faulty machine.
For further information on troubleshooting and service, please refer to the
“Troubleshooting” and “Service” chapters of the usermanual.
Fire Safety Precautions
In case of fi re, use carbon dioxide (CO
2
) extinguishers. Do not use water or
dry powder extinguishers.
Preliminary Operations
NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine is on. Wait for a couple of
minutes after turning on/off , as the machine will be carrying out a rinse/
self-cleaning cycle (see section “Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle”).
Fill the tank only with fresh, non-sparkling water. Hot water or any other
liquid may damage the tank and/or the machine. Do not operate the ma-
chine without water. Make sure there is enough water in the tank.
Only coff ee beans must be put into the coff ee bean hopper. If ground cof-
fee, instant coff ee or any other object is put in the coff ee bean hopper, it
may damage the machine.
Adjustable Ceramic Coff ee Grinders
Warning! The grinder adjustment knob, which is placed inside the coff ee
bean hopper, must be turned with the Coff ee grinder adjustment key only
when the coff ee grinder is working. Do not put any material other than
