6. SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING GOOD COFFEE
To obtain a high-quality coffee, it is important that water hardness of the water used does not exceed 4-5
°F (French degrees). In the water hardness exceeds these values, it is advisable use a water softener.
Avoid using a water softener if water hardness is less than 4 °F. If the taste of chlorine in the water is
especially strong, a special filter should be installed.
It is not advisable to keep large stores of coffee beans. Never grind large amounts of coffee. Use the
amount the doser holds and if possible use it by the end of the day. Never purchase ground coffee as it
expires quickly.
After the machine has not been used for a period of time (2-3 hours) make a few dry runs. Be sure to
carry out regular cleaning and maintenance.
5. VERSIONS WITH INTERNAL MOTORISED PUMP
For models with internal motorised pump, it is important remember that:
• there is no internal tank;
• water supply is provided by means of connection to the water mains;
• it is advisable to use a water softener.
WARNING
For further information, it is advisable to contact customer technical assistance.
7. CLEANING
For perfect cleaning and efficiency of the appliance, several simple cleaning operations are necessary on the
functional parts and accessories as well as the body panels. The indications given here are applicable for normal
use of the coffee machine. If the machine is heavily used then cleaning should be performed more frequently.
Filter and filter-holder
The filters and the relative filter-holders must be cleaned daily in
hot water. The best thing to do is to let them soak in hot water
overnight so that the fatty coffee deposits can dissolve. It is
advisable to add an envelope or tablet of special detergent to
the water, and then to rinse everything off with water.
Failure to clean the filters and filter holders daily will compromise
the quality of the coffee and will also cause problems such as
bad extraction and coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup.
