1. Connect the coffee machine with
switch 0/1
1
.
2. Put the filter holder
7
without
coffee into position and a recipient
below.
3. Turn on the coffee switch
2
and
run approximately half a reservoir.
Attention! Check that the reservoir
has water enough. If the coffee
machine is used without water, the
pump may be damaged.
B) PRIMING
Change the water in the boiler and
circuit.
• If coffee does not come out,
when the machine has not
been used for some time.
• lAfter producing steam
• lIf there is no water in the
reservoir, the following
procedure should be
performed:
1. Turn on the steam tap
4
with the
coffee machine switched on.
2. Turn on the coffee switch
2
and
allow the water to come out (one
cup) through the steam tube
5
.
3. Switch off the coffee function
2
and turn off the steam tap
4
.
4. The coffee machine is now ready
for use.
C)After steam has been produced,
it is very important to wait for the
pilot light
6
to light again, either
to go out or to perform priming.
IMPORTANT! Before to make a
cappuccino, keep the filterholder
from the group head.
FIXED FILTER HOLDER SYSTEM
Step A is unnecessary. Step B and C
are necessaries.
If using ground coffee:
Fill the filter up to the rim (see picture
2B). Tamp and fill again.
4. Preparation of coffee
Any type of coffee may be used,
ground or pod, thanks to the 5 filters
supplied: 2 ground filters (1- and
2-cup), 2 pressurised filters (1- and
2-cup Cream+) and 1 pod filter.
For optimal results, we advise using
ready mixes for espressos, as they
have the appropriate ground size for
use with ground filters. If the results
are not as expected, use pressurised
filters, which will give good results
regardless of ground size.
Regardless of the type of filter used
for ground coffee, and depending
on the whether the coffee comes out
quickly or slowly, we recommend
changing the type of coffee, the
ground size or experimenting with
compactness to suit your preference.
1. Switch on the machine using the
on/off switch
1
and place the
filter holder (with the filter) into the
group.
2. Wait for the pilot light
6
to go out
(approx. 1.5 minutes). This means
the coffee machine has reached
the ideal temperature. Turn on
coffee switch
2
and let water
come out by the coffee outlet.
Do this before making the coffee,
since this will remove residues and
balance the temperature to create
optimum working conditions.
