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. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top 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.
Read this instructions manual carefully before installing and using the device. Only by doing so will you be able to obtain the best results and the maximum safety of use.

the lack of grounding of the unit. In the event of incompatibility between the outlet and the plug of the coffee maker, have the plug replaced by a qualified electrician. Never install the machine in an environment that can reach a temperature less than or equal to 0C (if the water in it freezes, the coffee maker may be damaged).
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
FILLING THE WATER TANK Lift the lid and take out the water tank (fig. 1). Fill the tank with fresh, clean water (fig. 2). Place the tank back in its position, pressing it lightly so as to open the valve located on the bottom of the tank itself. It is recommended that the tank be filled when the machine is cold. In the event of it being necessary to fill it when the machine is warm, it is most likely that while the tank is out, some water will collect in its seat. It is necessary to dry this water using the sponge, which is to be found on the bottom of the tank itself (fig. 3). More simply, the tank can be filled without extracting it, by pouring water directly into it from a carafe. NOTE: never operate the coffee maker without water in the tank. The quantity of water contained in the tank may be checked by looking into the tank through the window. This allows you to add water when necessary. PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT In order to obtain coffee at the right temperature, it is suggest to preheat the machine. The best way to accomplish this is by pressing the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4) at least half an hour before making the coffee. During this time, it is necessary to leave the filter holder attached to the machine. To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (see fig. 5); push upwards and at the same time rotate the handle towards the right; always rotate as far as it will go. After a half hour, the coffee can then be made as described in the next section. Alternatively, it is possible to carry out the preheating quickly by following these steps: 1.Turn on the machine by pressing the switch (fig. 4). ESPRESSO

INSTALLATION

Place the coffee maker on a work surface at a safe distance from taps and sinks. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the coffee makers information plaque. Only connect the device to an outlet that has a minimum delivery of 10 A and is fitted with the required ground. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any accidents that may occur due to

2.Place a cup under the boiler outlet and make sure that the filter holder is attached to the machine. Use the same cup in wich the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated. 3.Wait until the ESPRESSO OK pilot light turns on
(fig. 6) and immediately afterwards press the coffee delivery switch (fig. 7). Let the water exit until the ESPRESSO OK light goes off; then stop the delivery by pressing the coffee delivery switch again. 4.Empty the cup, wait until the OK pilot light comes on again and repeat the whole operation one more time. Use the following directions to prepare the coffee: HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE 1.After carrying out the preheating of the machine as described in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of espresso coffee, insert the 1-cup filter (the smaller of the two provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 8) and fill it with one level measuring spoon of ground coffee about 7 grams (Fig.9). If you wish to prepare two cups of espresso coffee, use the 2-cup filter (the larger of the two provided) and fill it with two less-than-level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 6+6 grams). 2.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it lightly with the tamper (Fig. 10). 3.Remove any excess coffee from the filter holder rim and hook the filter holder onto the machine, as always, rotating it as far as it will go (fig. 5). 4.Place the cup or cups (better if preheated by rinsing them under hot water) under the spouts of the filter holder (fig. 11). 5.Make sure that the ESPRESSO OK pilot light (fig. 6) is turned on (if it is off, wait until it turns on), then press the coffee delivery switch (fig. 7) on the machines control panel until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained. To stop the flow, press the coffee delivery switch again. NOTE: After having prepared the coffee it is completely normal for some water to drip from the outlet. 6.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left. ATTENTION: to avoid squirts, never detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing. 7.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with the special lever that is built into the handle and let the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter holder (Fig. 12). 8.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4).
HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PREFILLED ESPRESSO PODS (IF FITTED) 1.Preheat the machine as described in the PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT section. 2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod onto the filter (fig. 24). NOTE: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply and without mess. 3.Hook the filter holder onto the machine, as always rotating it all the way (fig. 5). 4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the preceding paragraph. 5.In order to remove the pod, press the filter holder button and take it out. 6.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4). If you use illycaff coffee pods in your espresso machine, use the special filter holder; insert the coffee pod ensuring the name illy is facing down and the long side of the pod is parallel to the handle (see illustration).

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE
FILLING THE STEAM BOILER Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it in an anticlockwise direction. Fill the water measuring device up to the 170 gram (6 oz.) line (fig. 13). Slowly pour the water into the boiler (fig. 14), first making sure that the CAPPUCCINO switch is turned off and the steam knob is closed. When the boiler is full, it holds enough water to make 15 to 20 cappuccinos. Close the boiler cap by turning it in a clockwise direction. NOTE: for safety reasons, when the boiler is hot, it is
not possible to remove the cap because the threads do not grip. Therefore, to fill the boiler, it is necessary either to wait until all the water in it is used up or until the boiler has cooled. ATTENTION: it is recommended that the boiler be filled when cold and that the measuring container provided be used. If the boiler is filled while hot (for example, if the water runs out while making a cappuccino), it is recommended that only the contents of one measuring container be used. NEVER TRY TO FILL THE HOT BOILER UP TO THE MAXIMUM 170 GRAMS (6 oz.) marked on the boiler itself (fig. 14); this is done, the machine will not froth the milk properly on the next attempt. HOW TO PREPARE A CAPPUCCINO Before making the coffee, make sure that the steam knob is closed, then press the CAPPUCCINO switch (fig. 15) so as to allow the steam boiler to preheat. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE section. Dont forget to use sufficiently large cups. Pour the milk into the milk tank (fig. 16). The milk must be neither boiled nor warm. NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at refrigerated temperature. When the tank has been filled up to the MAX line, you can make 2 or 3 cappuccinos. Never fill the tank over the little notch that is located just above the MAX sign (fig. 16); if the tank is too full, the milk may continue to drip from the tube after the cappuccino has been made. Before starting delivery of the milk, always wait until the CAPPUCCINO OK pilot light (fig. 17) comes on. This light indicates that the ideal temperature has been reached for foaming the milk. TIP: if starting with a cold boiler, in order to obtain a warmer milk, wait until the OK pilot light comes on twice in a row (about 5 minutes). Place the cup containing coffee under the tube of the milk tank, check that the internal clamp of the milk tank is secured, then turn the steam knob in an anti clockwise direction at least one full rotation (fig. 18). The foamed milk will start coming out from the tube of the milk tank. When using small size cups, in order to avoid squirts of milk it is necessary to insert the anti spray cap onto the tube of the milk tank (fig. 19). Fill the cup with the desired quantity of foamed milk. To stop the flow of milk, turn the steam knob in a clockwise direction until closed. In order to ensure

that the milk froths correctly, always wait (between making one cappuccino and the next) until the CAPPUCCINO OK pilot light comes on. TIP: to achieve a perfect cappuccino, the following proportions are recommended: 1/3 coffee and 2/3 foamed milk. Once the last cappuccino has been prepared, before turning off the coffee maker, lift the suction tube of the tank above the level of any remaining milk (as indicated in fig. 20), let the steam come out for a few seconds, then close the knob with the tube thus extracted. FOR HYGIENIC REASONS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS OPERATION ALWAYS BE CARRIED OUT SO AS TO PREVENT THE MILK FROM STAGNATING IN THE CIRCUITS OF THE COFFEE MAKER. Lastly, to prevent the milk from solidifying, it is necessary to wash the milk tank immediately, as described below in the Cleaning the milk foamer and tank section. ATTENTION: the first time that the machine is used, it is necessary to wash all the accessories and internal circuits as follows: 1. For the espresso boiler: make at least five coffees without using any ground coffee (following the directions given in the HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE). 2. For the steam boiler: fill it with a water measuring container, close the cap and press the CAPPUCCINO button. After 5 minutes, turn the knob and let steam come out until completely empty (this should take about 15 minutes).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn off the machine, take out the plug from the mains and let the device cool down. CLEANING THE MILK-FOAMER The milk foamer must be cleaned immediately after every use. Proceed as follows: Remove the milk tank by pressing the hook and simultaneously pulling upwards. Wash it with warm water. To facilitate the cleaning of the milk tank tube, it is possible to use the tube brush provided. Remove the red-coloured foamer by pressing on the clamp (A) and simultaneously pulling upwards (fig. 21). Remove the rubber mixer, wash and clean it with hot water, especially the four holes shown in figure 22 (use a needle to clean these). Make sure
that the hole marked by the B arrow is not plugged. Once clean, all the parts must be re-assembled in the correct manner. In particular, make sure that the rubber mixer is inserted all the way in and that the red coloured foamer is inserted until a click is heard. If this cleaning is not carried out after every use, the milk foamer may not work properly, the milk may not be aspirated or the milk may drip from the milk tank tube. CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PODS Every so often, the filter holder for pods should be cleaned, as follows: press the filter holder button and remove the filter, as indicated in fig. 25. check that the pinholes of the filter are not plugged. If necessary, clean it carefully with hot water, scrubbing it with an abrasive pad. clean the inside of the filter holder and the rubber gasket; replace the filter. Never wash the filter holder in the dishwasher. CLEANING THE ESPRESSO BOILER OUTLET At least once a year, it is necessary to clean the outlet of the espresso boiler in the following manner: check that the coffee machine is not warm and the plug is detached from the mains; using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw that holds the outlet of the espresso boiler (fig. 23); using a moist cloth, clean the area of the boiler where the outlet was positioned; brush the outlet with a little dish washing liquid until all the pinholes are clean; rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it; replace the outlet of the espresso boiler.

DECALCIFICATION

It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine every 200 cups of coffee. It is recommended that specific (store-bought) products for decalcification of espresso coffee machines be used. If such products are not available, it is possible to proceed as follows: 1.Fill the tank with water using 1 liter of water; 2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid in the water (citric acid may be found in a pharmacy); 3.Press the ESPRESSO switch and wait until the OK pilot light comes on; 4.Check that the filter holder is not attached and place a container under the outlet of the machine; 5.Press the coffee delivery switch and allow half the water in the tank to flow out. Then stop the flow by pressing the switch again; 6.Allow the solution to act for about 15 minutes, then start up the flow again until the tank is completely empty; 7.To eliminate the remains of the solution and of the calcium, rinse the tank well, fill it with clean water and replace it in its seat. Press the coffee delivery switch; 8.Wait until the tank is empty; 9.Press the switch again and repeat operations 7 and 8 one more time. Repairs for malfunctioning caused by problems of calcium build-up are not covered by the guarantee if the decalcification described above is not carried out regularly.
OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS 1.Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the coffee maker. It is enough to use a soft, moist cloth. 2.Extract the drip-trays, empty them and wash them periodically. 3.Clean the water tank for espresso coffee. 4.Never immerse the coffee maker in water, not even when cleaning it. It is an electrical appliance.
