ADVICE ON CHOICE OF COFFEE
Practically any type of ground coffee on the market can be used with this machine. Coffee is a natural product and its taste varies, depending on its origin and blend. It is therefore advisable to try a number of different types to discover your own personal preference. For best results use blends specifically ground for espresso machines. The coffee flow should be constant and should not drip. The speed of the coffee flow can be regulated by changing the dosage, the fineness of the grinding and/or by how heavily you tamp down the coffee in the filter. BEFORE USING THE HOT WATER/STEAM JET, MAKE SURE THAT THE STEAM TUBE (PANNARELLO) IS POSITIONED OVER THE DRIP TRAY.

The formation of lime on the inside of the appliance is inevitable. If you notice a reduction in the water capacity of the appliance it is necessary to
DESCALING - LEGAL INFORMATION descale the machine. If you wish to descale the appliance yourself, use a descaler especially made for coffee machines. Use a product normally available on the market, that is neither toxic nor harmful. Warning! Never use vinegar as a descaler. Unscrew the upper filter from the filter holder socket and wash in hot water. Insert the filter holder without filling it with coffee. Make up the descaling solution according to the manufacturer s instructions and pour into the water tank. Remove the filter holder and release the descaling solution a cup at a time by pressing the coffee switch (4), until the tank is empty. Every time a cup of descaler is released the machine should be turned off at the main switch (3) and left for 10-15 minutes to give the descaling solution time to act. Rinse the water tank carefully and fill with fresh water. Drain 2/3 of the water in the tank, by pressing the coffee switch (4) on and off. Leave the machine on and when it has warmed up drain the rest of the water in the tank by opening the Hot water/ steam knob (6) and pressing the coffee switch (4).
