Position the machine on a flat and stable surface, away from water and

sources of heat.

It should be located in a dry environment, since excessive humidity will

affect the machine.

Do not cover the machine with plastic film or cloths.

This machine can be connected to the mains water supply.

For more information, see the technical manual.

INSTALLATION AND START-UP

Positioning

Electrical connection

Connect the machine to a grounded 220-230 VAC ~1915W 50/60Hz

power supply. Check the correct voltage and frequency on the back of the

machine.

The machine drip tray can be connected to a larger drain, allowing the tray to be emptied less frequently. A

suitable location is required for this. To use this feature, follow the connection procedure explained below.

The drainage can be used both for machines with a mains water connection and internal

water tank.

Note

Remove the drip tray. Connect the corrugated tube to

the drain cup.

Use a drill to make a hole at the

mark shown on the lower part

of the tray.

INSTALLATION AND START-UP

To start up the machine, follow the steps below:

Connect the machine to the mains water supply.

Switch on the machine.

It may be the case that when the machine is switched on, it goes into standby mode ‘Standby’ . If

the machine is in ‘Standby’ mode, this can be easily recognised since buttons K5 and K3 will flash

simultaneously. In this case. the machine must be changed to ‘ON’

mode. To do this, press buttons K5

and K3 at the sametime.

It is easy to recognise when the machine is in ‘ON’

mode since the 6 LEDs of the buttons will light up,

except one unlit button that will cycle. This indicates the machine is heating up the boiler.

Once all the buttons are lit (none is flashing) the machine is ready to dispense coffee.

Starting the machine when connected to the mains water supply

When the machine is connected to the mains water supply, the tank will ll

automatically, but only to the minimum level mark on the tank. Do not worry if you

see the tank is not full. Do not forget that the machine is connected to the mains

water supply!

IMPORTANT!

Always switch the machine off before removing the tank.

Keypad explanations can be found on page 13.

Point the steam wand toward the drip tray.

Slowly open the steam tap for around 2 seconds, a small jet of water and steam will emerge.

After 2 seconds close the steam tap and then put the wand into the jug containing the milk.

Once the wand has been imersed into the milk you may reopen the steam tap to start frothing.

Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, close the tap until the flow of steam has completely

stopped. Remove the steam wand out of the jug.

Direct the wand toward the tray and turn on the tap to remove any leftover milk in the wand. Now

clean the outside of the wand with a soft cloth.

Place a cup under the hot water outlet.(A)

QUARTZ

CLEANING AND CARE

Cleaning the capsule group

To obtain the best performance of the capsule group, it is recommended to dispense 3-4 brews without a

capsule at the end of the day. To do so, follow the steps below:

Lift up the lever (the last capsule that has been used will fall into the capsule drawer).

Push down the lever into the locked position.

Select a drink without using a capsule.

Repeat the procedure 3 or 4 times.

For best results when cleaning the group, we recommend using a brush to clean the seal where the capsule

goes once a week. (See Fig.A)

Next, clean using a neutral detergent (do not use solvents that may damage the paintwork or plastic parts).

(See Fig.B)

The producer declines all liability for damage caused by the use of caustic or aggressive

detergents.

Maintenance of the machine

CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION!

Avoid placing wet cups directly on the

cup shelf, it may drip into the machine

and cause machine damage.

Dry the cups before putting them on

the cup shelf.

When raising and lowering

the lever to insert a capsule,

do so slowly. Never force

the lever.

To prevent the machine from

malfunctioning, it is necessary to

use the original capsules for which

the machine is designed. Do not use

other similar capsule formats. The

machine might not work properly and

can leak water.

The tank must be cleaned

once a month. Do not use

harsh detergents. After

cleaning, dry the outside

to avoid problems inside

the machine.

the desired button has been pressed, the coffee will start to brew. Now watch

carefully until the desired volume of coffee is reached. Press button K6 to stop

the brewing of coffee.

When the machine stops brewing, button K5 will flash for five seconds to

confirm that the volume has been memorized.

Repeat the same operation to program the remaining drinks that have not been

set (K1, K2, K3, K4).

PROGRAMMING

IMPORTANT!

Always use an

unused capsule when

programming the

volume.

It is possible to adjust the temperature of the boiler in the range

between 110ºC and 130ºC.

1. Set the machine to “Stand-by” mode (press the buttons K3 and

K5 simultaneously)

2. Now press the buttons K3 and K4 simultaneously, directly when this is

done the LED’s of the keypad will start to flash and show the operating

temperature of the boiler. In order to understand the meaning of the

flashes you should add all flashes together as shown below.

Button K5 represent hundreds, K1 represent tens and K2 single

units. Sum up all values of each button ash to get the exact

temperature of the boiler.

3. Increase the temperature by pressing button K4, decrease the

temperature by pressing button K3.

4. Switch the machine OFF and ON again to save the changes before

you use the machine.
