When you install the appliance, you should follow the following safety warnings: · The appliance gives off heat. Leave a free space of at least 5 cm around the sides and back of the appliance and at least 20 cm at the top, otherwise the heat could be trapped and damage the machine. · Water penetrating the appliance could cause damage. Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks. · The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains freezes. Do not install the appliance in a room where the temperature could drop below freezing point. · Arrange the power cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates). · · Important! To avoid malfunctions, never introduce ground coffee, freeze-dried coffee or caramelised beans into the mill, or other objects that may damage the machine. (Pre-ground coffee can be used in the funnel for pre-ground coffee (V) only. See page 11 "Making coffee using preground coffee".) USING THE COFFEE MAKER FOR THE FIRST TIME NB! When using the appliance for the first time, you need to make 4/5 cups of coffee and 4/5 cappuccinos before the appliance starts to give satisfactory results. 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 30ml 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 - see "Meaning of the 9 Connecting the appliance Important! Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed and correctly installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only. 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. · normal operation indicator lights"). 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 60ml), 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. 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. PREPARING THE COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS) Important! Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable. 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 Grinding quantity selector 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 t ...
