IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs. To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance. Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury. Do not use outdoors. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven. To disconnect the appliance, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet. Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is for household use only.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

HOW TO PREPARE THE COFFEE 1) Check that the coffee maker is cold, and then unscrew it by holding the boiler with one hand and turning the container counter-clockwise with the other (Fig. 1). 2 Remove the filter and, to prepare a full pot of coffee, fill the boiler with fresh water until reaching the safety valve (visible inside the boiler), without exceeding it (Fig. 2). To prepare half a pot of coffee maker, fill the boiler with water to the circular mark under the safety valve (Fig. 3 - X). TIP: use fresh and soft water. Salty or hard water will weaken the flavor. IMPORTANT: Do not use the coffee maker without water in the boiler or alternatively using hot water for faster operation. 3) Insert the filter in the boiler (Fig. 4). When preparing half a pot, also place the adapter disk (L) into the funnel filter (Fig. 5). 4) Fill the filter with ground coffee, without tamping it (Fig. 6). Fill it a little at a time to prevent spilling the ground coffee. 5) Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and remove any excess coffee from the edge of the filter. IMPORTANT: Use good quality, mediumground coffee, for Moka coffee makers. 6) Tighten the coffee maker securely. Hold the boiler with one hand and turn the container clockwise with the other without pushing on the handle. 7) Rest the coffee maker on the base (Fig. 7). Close the lid. 8) Press the on/off switch (Fig. 8). The power light indicates that the coffee maker is on. 9) The coffee will start to be released after a few minutes. 10) When the pitcher is full, mix the coffee for uniformity before serving it. IMPORTANT: The first time that the coffee maker is used, all the accessories should be washed with hot water. Then make a few batches of coffee to throw away.

KEEP-WARM FUNCTION

Using the keep warm device, the coffee can be at the right temperature up to half an hour after starting the machine. This device is automatically disabled when the coffee maker is removed from the base after the coffee has brewed. If the coffee maker is rested on the base with coffee still in the container, it can be kept warm for another half an hour by pressing the on/off switch. In any case, once the coffee has brewed, the coffee maker can be switched off by pressing the on/off switch.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing the cleaning operations, wait for the coffee maker to have cooled down after use. Clean the inside of the tube periodically. Regularly check the filter and the gasket: replace if there are signs of wear or deterioration. Use original spare parts only. Every so often check that the holes in the disk filter are not blocked; if necessary, clean using a pin (Fig. 9). Do not wash the coffee maker in the dishwasher. When cleaning do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Simply clean it with a sponge, keeping attention not to wet the electrical parts. Never rinse the boiler under the tap water and never immerse it in water.
