  3. Insert the water tank completely into the machine.
  4. Insert the power cord into a grounded power outlet.
  5. Switch the power button to "I" to turn on the machine.
  6. The Espresso and Long Coffee buttons will blink, and the machine status indicator light will be steady on for 15 seconds, then turn off, indicating the warming-up phase.
  7. An acoustic alarm will sound, and the Espresso and Long Coffee buttons will be steady on, indicating the machine is ready for use.
  8. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the machine enters Power Save mode, and the Espresso and Long Coffee buttons blink slowly. Press either button to reactivate the machine.
  9. At first start-up or after several days of inactivity, it is recommended to dispense at least half of the water tank without a capsule, using a suitably sized container under the dispensing spout.

Preparing Coffee:

  1. Ensure the water tank is filled with fresh drinking water up to the MAX level. The water level can be checked through the special windows.
  2. The water tank can be refilled without complete removal, but it can also be removed for filling.
  3. The Espresso and Long Coffee buttons will be steady on, and the machine status indicator light will be off, indicating readiness.
  4. Disengage and lift the capsule compartment open/closed lever.
  5. Insert an Iperespresso capsule into the compartment. Note: If a capsule is already present, it will be automatically removed when opening the compartment. The capsule should fit easily; if not, remove and reposition it.
  6. Lower the moving part and lock the lever into place.
  7. Position an espresso cup or a mug (by lowering the cup holder support) under the coffee dispensing spout.
  8. Press the Espresso coffee button to brew an espresso, or the Long coffee button to brew a long coffee.
  9. Ensure the capsule compartment is correctly closed before pressing the brew button.
  10. Brewing stops automatically.
  11. Wait until the Espresso and Long Coffee buttons are steady on before preparing the next coffee.
  12. If the beverage volume is insufficient, press the same button again without changing the capsule to brew more coffee. The brewing process can be stopped by pressing the same button again.
  13. Brewing will always stop automatically after about 70 seconds. If brewing a long espresso, ensure the cup is large enough to prevent overflow.

Adjusting Coffee Quantity in the Cup:

  1. Insert a capsule and lock the lever.
  2. Press and hold either the Espresso or Long Coffee button during the entire brewing process.
  3. Release the button when the desired quantity of coffee is reached.
  4. The machine will store this level, and subsequent brews using that button will dispense the memorized quantity.
  5. The machine is factory preset with standard parameters. For long coffees, using blue Iperespresso capsules is recommended.

  7. Press the Espresso button. It will start blinking quickly, and the machine will intermittently dispense water from the brew group for approximately 13 minutes. Warning: the dispensed water is very hot.
  8. A repeated acoustic signal indicates the end of the descaling phase.
