1-Openthecapsule-insertioncompartment(#4,Fig.l)byraisingthelever
 (#5,Fig.5).
2-Placeacapsule(#14,Fig.5)inthecapsuleinsertionslot(#4,Fig.5).
3-Lowerthelever(#5,Fig.5)toclosedposition.
4-Waitforthewatertoreachtherighttemperatureasindicatedbythe 
 illuminationofthetemperature-readylight(#11,Fig.1).
5-Placeacuponthecuprest(#7,Fig.4)andpresstheswitch(#9or#10,
 Fig.1)tostartdispensingcoffee.Whentheproperamounthasbeen 
dispensed the machine will stop automatically.
6-Whendispensingisnished,ifyouwanttomakeanothercoffee,raise
 thehandle(#5,Fig.5)totheopenposition,insertanewcapsule,and
 theusedcapsuleisautomaticallyunloadedintothedrawer(#6,Fig.4).
Note:Afterdispensingcoffeealwaysleavethecapsule-insertion
compartment(#4,Fig.5)closed,(#5,Fig.4).
The capsule drawer (#6, Fig. 6) can hold a maximum of 15 capsules,
after which it absolutely must be emptied. To do this simply pull the
drawer outwards. It is advisable to empty the capsules from the
drawer (#6, Fig. 1) after making 6-8 coffees.
6) PROGRAMMING DOSES
Ifyouwishtoalterthedefaultsettingsandcustomizetheamountof

 compartment(#4,Fig.l)byraisingthelever(#5,Fig.5)
• Placeacapsule(#13,Fig.5)inthecapsuleinsertionslot(#4,Fig.5)
• Lowerthelever(#5,Fig.5)toclosedposition.
• Holddownthekeyrelatingtheespressosizethatyouwanttoprogam,
 andreleaseitonlywhenthelengthofthedesireddoseisreached.
• Repeatthesameoperationtoprogramthe“shortespresso”key.
• Toconrmtheprogrammingoperation,switchoffthemachineand 
 switchitonagain(#13,Fig.1).
7) MACHINE MAINTENANCE
a) CLEANING THE MACHINE
Before doing any cleaning, ALWAYS disconnect the plug
(#8, Fig, 1) from the power socket.
• Useadampclothtocleanthebodyofthemachine(1Fig.1).
 Donotuseabrasivedetergents.
• Neverimmersethemachinebody(#1,Fig.1)inwaterorotherliquids.
• Neverwashthemachinebody(1Fig.1)inthedishwasher.
• Removethecuprest(7Fig.1)andthebasin(6Fig.1),andwashthem
with any ordinary dishwashing soap.
• Periodicallyremovethewatertank(2Fig.3)andrinseitwith
clean water.
b) DESCALING THE MACHINE
• Descalethemachineperiodically.(Thefrequencyofthisoperation 
 dependsonthehardnessofthewaterused.)
• Pourameasureofdescalingliquidintothetank(#2,Fig.1)andfollow
 themanufacturer’sinstructions.
Only use solutions suited for espresso coffee machines.
• Makesurethatthereisacapsuleinthecapsule-compartment(4Fig.1)
• Lowerthelever(5Fig.1).
• Startthemachineasexplainedinthesection“Startingupthemachine”.
• Placeavesselwithacapacityofabout500cconthegrid(7Fig.1).
• Dispensehotwater3-4timesbypressingbutton(#9Fig.1).
Repeat the operations described above, using clean water only. This
