prepared in the normal way.
Water lter (only in certain models)
Certain models come with a water-lter in-pack. All models
can have this water lter tted. To install, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the lter from the packaging.
2. Rotate the calendar disc (see g. 8) to reveal the next two
months of use.
Take note:
The lter will last the equivalent of two months if the appliance
is used normally. If, on the other hand, the machine is left
unused with the lter installed, it will last for the equivalent
of 3 weeks, maximum.
3. Rinsethelterwithatleast0.5Lofrunningwater(g.
9).
4. Immerse the lter completely in a basin of water, tipping
it to allow any air bubbles to escape (g. 10).
5. Fill the water-tank, insert the lter in its proper slot (g.
11) and push it rmly down.
Pre-heating the coee machine
To obtain an espresso coee at the right temperature, you are
advised to pre-heat the machine in the following way:
1. Switch on the machine by turning the selector dial into
the position (the relative light will come on) (g.
12). Insert an espresso coee lter into the lter holder,
ensuring that the pin is correctly inserted into its proper
slot as indicated in g. 13. Use the smaller lter if you
want to make one cup of coee, or the larger lter if you
wish to make two. Attach the lter-holder, complete
with lter, to the machine (g. 14), without lling it with
ground coee.
2. Positionacupunderthelter-holder.Usethesamecup
in which you intend to make the coee, so that it will pre-
warm.
3. Wait for the OK light to come on (g. 15) and then
immediately turn the selector dial to position (g.
16)Letthe watercomeoutuntiltheOK light goes o,
then stop it by turning the selector dial to position
(g. 12) and empty the cup.
(It is normal for a small, harmless pu of steam to escape while
the lter-holder is being detached).
Preparation of espresso with ground coee
1. First, pre-heat the machine and the lter-holder as
described in the previous paragraph. Use the smaller lter
if you want to make one cup of coee, or the larger lter if
you wish to make two.
Preparation of espresso coee
2. If you only want to make one cup of coee, ll the lter
with a level measure of ground coee, about 7gr (g.
17). If, on the other hand, you wish to make two coees,
ll the lter with two scant measures of ground coee
(about 6+6 gr.). Fill the lter with small quantities at a
time to avoid spillage of the ground coee.
Caution:
To guarantee correct functioning, before relling the lter
with ground coee, ensure that it is free of any coee powder
residue from the previous infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press it down
lightly with the tamper (g. 18). The way in which the
ground coee is pressed down is a very important factor
in obtaining a good espresso. If you press too rmly,
the coee will come out slowly and have a thick, dark-
coloured consistency. On the other hand, if you press too
lightly, the coee will come out too fast and will have a
thin, light-coloured consistency.
4. Remove any excess coee from the edge of the lter-
holder, and attach the latter to the machine. Rotate the
hand-grip rmly to the right (g. 14) to avoid any water
leakage.
5. Positionthecuporcupsunderthenozzlesofthelter-
holder (g. 19). It is advisable to warm the cups before
making the coee, by rinsing them with a little hot
water.
6. Check that the OK light (g. 15) is on (if it is o, wait until
it comes on), and turn the selector dial to position
(g. 16). Once you have obtained the quantity of coee
you want, stop the process by rotating the selector dial
to position
(g. 12). (It is advisable not to dispense
coee for more than 45 seconds)
7. To detach the lter-holder, rotate the hand-grip from
right to left.
Danger of scalding!
To avoid splashing, never detach the lter-holder while the
machine is dispensing.
8. To dispose of used coee, hold the lter fast while
pressing it with the appropriate lever incorporated into
the hand-grip. Then turn out the grounds by turning the
lter-holder over and rapping it sharply (g. 20).
9 . To switch o the coee machine, turn the selector dial to
position .
