2. PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
Wash all accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid,
then proceed as follows:
1. Extract the water tank (A3) (g. 1) and ll it with fresh
clean water, taking care not to exceed the MAX level (g. 2).
2. Reinsert the tank, pressing lightly to open the valves locat-
ed on the bottom of the tank itself.
Important: Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or without the
tank.
Please note: You should customise water hardness as soon as possible following the
instructions in section “9. Settings menu”.

When used for the rst time, the internal circuits of the appli-
ance must be rinsed as follows:
1. Plug into the mains socket. Press the main switch (A6) (g.
3).
2. The appliance runs a self-diagnosis cycle, indicated by the
sequential ashing of the three keys
3. The lights and ash, indicating that the ap-
pliance is heating up: when the lights are steadily lit, the
appliance is ready to perform a rinse cycle.
4. Attach the lter holder to the appliance; align the lter
holder handle with “INSERT”, then rotate to the right until
the handle is aligned with “CLOSE” (g. 9).
5. Place a container with a capacity of at least 0.5 litres under
the coee spout (A5) and the hot water/steam dispenser

prepare a beverage.

the space under the tank. This should therefore be dried regularly
with a clean sponge.
