When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the fol-
lowing.
•
•
Read all instructions carefully.
Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bot-
tom of the machine.
•
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or
appliance in water or other liquid.
•
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave appliance unattended while
in operation.
•
•
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire,
electrical shock, or personal injury.
Do not use outdoors.
•
•
•
Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid
getting accidentally caught or entangled.
•
•
•
Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces,
or gas burners.
Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from
wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for
domestic use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by
improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serv-
iceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
-
A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
-
-
Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rat-
ing of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should
be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
-
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, con-
tact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

Using the appliance for the first
time
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Controls after transport
After removing the packaging, make sure the
product is complete and undamaged and that all
accessories are present.
Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged.
Contact the Customer Service Center if product
seems damaged in any way.
NB!
•
•
•
Coffee has been used to factory test the appli-
ance and it is therefore completely normal for
there to be traces of coffee in the mill. The
machine is, however, guaranteed to be new.
You should customize water hardness as
soon as possible following the instructions in
the section "Setting water hardness" on page
19.
Some models are fitted with a water softener
filter which reduces the build up of limescale
in the appliance. To install, see the instruc-
tions in the section "Installing the filter" on
page 12.

Follow the instructions indicated by the appliance:
3. "FILL TANK!": remove the water tank, fill to the
MAX line with fresh water then replace in the
appliance (fig. 2).
4. "INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK":
Check that the hot water spout is inserted on
the nozzle and place a container underneath
(fig. 3).
•
Arrange the power cable in such a way that it
cannot be damaged by sharp edges or contact
with hot surfaces (e.g. electric hot plates).
Connecting the appliance
Press the
button (fig. 1). "Please Wait..."
is displayed and the appliance begins to run
off hot water.
The appliance ends the first start up procedure,
then the message "Turning Off, Please Wait..." is
displayed and the appliance goes off.
Important! Check that the mains power
supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated
on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.
Connect the appliance to an properly grounded
and correctly installed socket with a minimum
current rating of 10A only. If the power socket
does not match the plug on the appliance, have
the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qual-
ified professional.
The coffee maker is now ready for normal use.
NB! When using the appliance for the first
time, you need to make 4 to 5 cups of coffee and
4 to 5 cappuccinos before the appliance starts to
give satisfactory results.
