Contact professionally qualified personnel. · Packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene etc) must not be left within reach of children as they may represent a hazard. · Place the appliance on a work surface far away from water taps, basins and sources of heat. · After having positioned the appliance on the work bench, make sure that there is a free space of around 5 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear walls and a free space of at least 20 cm above the coffee maker. · Never install the machine in environments where the temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the appliance may be damaged if the water freezes). · Check that the voltage of the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the appliance's rating plate. Only connect the appliance to a power outlet with a minimum rating of 10A that is properly earthed. The manufacturer declines all liability for any accidents caused if the system is not correctly earthed. · If the power outlet does not match the plug on the appliance, have the outlet replaced with a suitable type by qualified personnel. · The power cable for this appliance must not be replaced by the user, in that this operation requires the use of special tools. In the event of damage, only contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer so as to avoid any risks. · The water hardness should be set as soon as possible, following the procedure described in chapter 10.4. GB OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 24 To correctly learn how to use the machine, when starting it for the first time, carefully follow the step-by-step instructions described in the following paragraphs. 4 PREPARING THE COFFEE MAKER 4.1 FILLING THE WATER TANK · Remove the water tank (Fig.1), rinse it and fill it with fresh water, without exceeding the MAX line. When removing the tank, the milk frother must always be positioned towards the centre of the machine, otherwise the tank cannot be removed. · Replace the tank, pushing it all the way in. 4.2 FILLING THE CONTAINER WITH COFFEE BEANS · Open the lid on the coffee bean container (Fig.2). · Fill the container with coffee beans. · Close the lid. WARNING: To avoid malfunctions, never introduce ground coffee, freeze-dried coffee or caramelised beans, or other objects that may damage the machine. Fig.2 4.3 USING THE COFFEE MAKER FOR THE FIRST TIME 1. Check that the water tank is full and that power cable is plugged into the power outlet. 2. Move the milk frother towards the outside and place a cup underneath (Fig.3). Then turn the machine on by pressing the button (Fig.4). 3. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WITHIN A MAXIMUM OF 30 SECONDS, turn the steam knob anticlockwise until it stops (Fig.5) (it is normal for the machine to make some noise). 4. After few seconds, a little water will come out of the milk frother. When there is around 30cc in the cup, turn the steam knob half a turn clockwise (Fig.6) until it stops, so as to stop the water coming out. 5. Wait for the and lights to stop flashing and turn on steady. (When the lights are flashing it means that the machine is pre-heating, while when they are on steady it means that the machine has reached the ideal temperature for making coffee - par. 11 - points 1 and 2). A few moments before the lights stop flashing the machine automatically performs a rinse cycle: a little hot water will come out of the delivery spouts and will be collected in the drip tray underneath. Tip: for a hotter, short coffee (less than 60 cc), , first fill the cup with the hot rinsing water. Then leave it inside for a few seconds (before emptying it) so as to pre-heat the cup. 6. At this point, the machine is ready for use. Fig.1 Fig.3 Fig.4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 25 5 PREPARING THE COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS) 1) Before delivering the coffee, always make sure that the green and lights are on steady, that the water tank and the coffee bean container are full. 2) Adjust the right-hand knob (Fig. 7) to set the desired taste of the coffee. Turning the knob clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans that the machine will grind, and thus makes the taste of the coffee stronger. When using the machine for the first time, the correct position of the knob can be found by trial and error. Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops), above all when preparing two cups of coffee. 3) Adjust the left-hand knob (Fig. 8) to set the quantity of coffee required. Turning the knob clockwise makes a longer coffee. When using the machine for the first time, the correct position of the knob can be found by trial and error. 4) Place one cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (Fig. 9) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (Fig. 10). For a creamy coffee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (Fig. 11). 5) Press the button (Fig. 12) to make one cup of coffee or the button (Fig. 13) to make 2 coffees. At this point the machine grinds the beans, runs a short pre-infusion cycle, a pause and then completes the delivery. Once the desired quantity has been reached, the machine automatically stops delivering the coffee and discharges the grounds into the special container. 6) After a few seconds, when both the green and indicator lights are on again, another coffee can be made. 7) To switch the machine off, press the button. (Before switching off, the machine automatically runs a rinse cycle: a little hot water will come out of the spouts and will be collected in the drip tray underneath - be careful, to avoid being scalded ). If the machine is not switched off using the button, it will switch itself off and run a brief rinse cycle 3 hours after the last operation GB Fig.5 Fig.6 NOTE 1: : If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig. 17) one click clockwise (see para. 6). Turn a click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily. NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the right-hand knob (fig. 7) clockwise. Proceed by trial and error to find the correct position of the knob. Make sure not to turn the knob too far clockwise, otherwise the delivery may become too slow (in drops), above all when making two cups of coffee. If, after several coffees, the cream is still not satisfactory, also turn the grinding adjustment knob (Fig. 17) one click clockwise (see par. 6). NOTE 3: Tips on making hotter coffee: 1) ) If, when the machine has just been turned on, a short cup of coffee is required (less than 60cc), use the hot rinsing water to pre-heat the cups (see the suggestion in par. 4.3, point 5). 1) If, when the machine has just been turned on, a short cup of coffee is required (less than 60cc), use the hot rinsing water to pre-heat the cups (see the suggestion in par. 4.3, point 5). If, on the other hand, more than 2/3 minutes have elapsed since the last coffee was made, before preparing another coffee the infuser must be pre-heated, pressing the button (Fig. 14). Fig.7 Fig.8 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 26 Then let the water flow out into the drip tray underneath, or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so as to pre-heat it. 2) Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat. 3) Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them with hot water or alternatively by leaving them for at least 20 minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the machine with the appliance on. NOTE 4: while the machine is making the coffee, the delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the button (Fig. 12) or button (Fig. 13), as previously selected. NOTE 5: as soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of ...
