IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the fol-  
lowing:  
Read all instructions.  
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.  
To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance  
in water or other liquid.  
Never allow the appliance to be used by children.  
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off  
parts, and before cleaning the appliance.  
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been dam-  
aged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,  
repair or adjustment.  
The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer  
may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.  
Do not use outdoors.  
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.  
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.  
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 domes-  
tic use only. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover.  
No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
THIS PRODUCT 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  
exercised in their use.  
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical  
rating 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, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
polarized plug.

and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out of the spouts and is collected in the drip  
tray beneath).  
Tip: if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz), to make it hotter, fill the cup with this hot rinsing  
water first. Leave it for a few seconds then empty it to preheat the cup.  
8. The appliance now displays the ready message:  
READY strong TASTE  
5 PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS)  
1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a strong taste. You can also choose coffee with a mild or regu-  
lar taste. To choose the required taste, press the  
played.  
button (fig. 7). The selected coffee taste will be dis-  
2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 shot (fig. 8) or 2 cups for 2 shots (fig. 9). For a creamier coffee,  
lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (fig. 10).  
3. Press the  
button to make one shot espresso (fig. 11), the  
button for two shots espresso and the  
button for an americano.  
To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions in chap-  
ter 6.  
(The appliance now grinds the beans and starts brewing the coffee into the cup.  
Once the desired quantity has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and  
ejects the grounds into the coffee grounds container).  
4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.  
5. To turn the appliance off, press the  
button.  
Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out from the  
spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath). Take care to avoid scalds.  
10  
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.  
15) one click clockwise (see chapter 7).  
Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately.  
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the grinding coarseness regulator  
(fig. 15) one click counterclockwise (see chapter 7). Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered ade-  
quately.  
Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessively otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may  
run out in drips.  
NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:  
When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz), use the hot  
rinse-through water to preheat the cups.  
If 2/3 minutes have passed , since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must preheat  
the infuser by pressing the  
button (fig. 12).  
Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the  
cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.  
Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.  
Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20  
minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.  
NOTE 4: While the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the  
or button as previously selected.  
,
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the  
or button as previously selected, until the desired quantity is reached (this operation must  
,
be performed within 3 seconds from when coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).  
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays:  
FILL TANK  
the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee.  
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).  
NOTE 7: The appliance counts the number of coffees made.  
Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays:  
EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER  
indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds container  
has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make coffee.  
To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the handle (fig. 13), remove the drip tray (fig. 14),  
empty and clean.  
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are  
removed.  
IMPORTANT: When removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not com-  
pletely full. If this is not done, when next making coffee the grounds in the container may exceed the maxi-  
mum level and block the appliance.  
11  
NOTE 8: While the appliance is delivering coffee, never remove the water tank. If it is removed, the  
appliance will not be able to make the coffee.  
To reset the appliance, turn the steam knob counterclockwise as far as it will go and run off water from the  
cappuccino frother for a few seconds.  
When using the appliance for the first time, 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the applian-  
ce starts to give satisfying results.  
If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact the service center right away.  
The problem can almost always be resolved by following the instructions indicated in paragraphs 14 and 15.  
If this is not the case, or for further explanations, contact customer service by calling the number listed in the  
6 CHANGING THE QUANTITY OF COFFEE IN THE CUP  
The appliance is factory preset to automatically deliver the following quantities of coffee:  
-
-
-
1 shot espresso (when the  
2 shots espresso (when the  
americano (when the  
button is pressed);  
button is pressed);  
button is pressed);  
To change these quantities, proceed as follows:  
-
-
press the button corresponding to the quantity you want to change (  
8 seconds until the message "PROGRAM QUANTITY" is displayed;  
when the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the same button again to memorize the new  
amount.  
,
or  
) for at least  
7 REGULATING THE COFFEE MILL  
After making the first coffees, if you find that coffee delivery is either too fast or too slow (in drips), the grin-  
ding coarseness regulator can be adjusted (fig. 15).  
Turning it 1 click (1 number) clockwise speeds up coffee delivery (without drips).  
Turning it 1 click counterclockwise slows down delivery giving a creamier appearance to the coffee.  
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been brewed.  
The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is on.  
Turn counterclockwise to obtain finer ground coffee, slower deli-  
very and a creamier appearance.  
Turn clockwise for coarser ground coffee and faster delivery  
(not a drop at a time).  
(Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be tra-  
ces of coffee in the mill. This appliance is however guaranteed to be new).  
12  
8 PREPARING ESPRESSO/COFFEE USING GROUND COFFEE (INSTEAD OF BEANS)  
Press the  
button (fig. 16) to select the ground coffee function. This disables the coffee mill function.  
The appliance displays  
READY PRE-GROUND  
Lift the central lid, place one level measure of ground coffee in the  
funnel (see fig. 17) and proceed as described in paragraph 5. Note:  
You can make just one coffee at a time by pressing the  
button once only.  
,
or  
NOTE 1: Never add the ground coffee when the appliance is off to avoid it being dispersed inside the  
appliance.  
NOTE 2: Never add more than one level measured scoop, otherwise either the  
appliance will not make the coffee, the ground coffee will be lost inside the applian-  
ce, dirtying it, or the coffee will run off in drips and the message "GROUND TOO FINE  
ADJUST GRINDER AND OPEN STEAM" will be displayed.  
NOTE 3: When dosing the quantity of coffee to be added, use the measuring scoop supplied only.  
NOTE 4: Use ground coffee for espresso coffee makers only. Do not use coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or  
other materials that could damage the appliance.  
NOTE 5: If the funnel blocks due to moisture inside the appliance or if more than one measure of pre-ground  
coffee has been used, use a knife to push the coffee down (Fig. 18), then remove and clean the infuser and  
appliance as described in paragraph 15.2 "Cleaning the infuser".  
Once the coffee has been delivered, to go back to making coffee using beans, deactivate the ground cof-  
fee function by pressing the  
ration again).

9 HOT WATER DELIVERY  
Always make sure the appliance is ready.  
Turn the cappuccino frother towards the outside of the appliance and place a container under it (fig. 2).  
Press the (fig. 19). The appliance displays:  
READY HOT WATER  
Turn the steam knob half a turn counterclockwise as far as it will go (fig. 3). Hot water runs from the cap-  
puccino frother and starts to fill the container underneath. You should not run hot water for more than 2  
minutes at a time.  
To interrupt hot water delivery, turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4) and place the  
cappuccino frother in the original position near the center of the appliance.  
To deactivate the hot water function, press the  
(fig. 19).  
13  
10 PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM)  
Move the cappuccino frother outwards (fig. 2).  
Place an empty container under the cappuccino frother. Turn the steam knob a half turn counterclockwi-  
se as far as it will go (fig. 3). The appliance displays:  
STEAM  
Allow the steam mixed with water to run off for a few seconds until steam only is given off.  
To interrupt steam delivery, rotate the knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4).  
Empty the container then fill it with about 3.5 oz of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. In choo-  
sing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume. You are recom-  
mended to use skim or semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature.  
Dip the cappuccino frother into the pitcher containing the milk (fig. 2), taking care not to immerse the rai-  
sed line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the arrow in fig. 20). Turn the steam knob a half turn  
counterclockwise as far as it will go (beware of burns). Steam is discharged from the cappuccino frother,  
giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino frother into  
the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom upwards. (You should not dis-  
charge steam for more than two minutes at a time).  
Once the required temperature is reached, interrupt steam delivery by rotating the knob clockwise as far  
as it will go (fig. 4).  
Prepare the coffee as described previously, using large enough cups, then fill with the frothed milk pre-  
pared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a litt-  
le cocoa powder.  
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino frother immediately after use. Proceed as follows:  
Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the steam knob. This empties any milk left inside  
the steam spout.  
IMPORTANT: To guarantee cleanliness, you are recommended to follow this procedure each time you  
make cappuccino to avoid milk stagnating in the cappuccino nozzle.  
Turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will go.  
Wait a couple of minutes for the cappuccino frother to cool down then with one hand hold the cappuc-  
cino spout handle firm and with the other unscrew the cappuccino frother itself by rotating clockwise and  
extracting downwards (fig. 21).  
Remove the nozzle from the steam spout by pulling it downwards (fig. 22).  
Carefully wash the cappuccino frother and steam nozzle in warm water.  
Make sure the two holes shown in fig. 23 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.  
Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and vigorously turning it upwards into the steam spout.  
Replace the cappuccino frother by pushing it upwards and turning it counterclockwise.  
11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Before performing any cleaning operations, leave the appliance to cool down and unplug from the outlet.  
Never immerse the coffee maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.  
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products to clean the appliance. A soft damp cloth will suffice.  
NEVER wash ANY of the components of the appliance in a dishwasher.  
14  
11.1 Cleaning the coffee maker  
Clean the grounds container (as described in chapter 5, note 7) whenever it requires emptying.  
The water tank should also be cleaned regularly.  
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the level of water it contains.  
When the indicator starts to become visible (a few millimeters under the drip tray), the drip tray must be emp-  
tied and cleaned.  
Check that the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked. To unblock them, scrape the dry coffee residues  
away with a needle (fig. 24).  
11.2 Cleaning the infuser  
The infuser must be cleaned regularly to avoid the build-up of coffee encrustations which could cause mal-  
function.  
Proceed as follows:

12.3 Descaling  
Over time, the continuous heating up of the water used to make the coffee leads to lime scale building up in  
the inner circuits of the appliance.  
When the appliance displays the message:  
DESCALE  
You should perform the descale cycle.  
Proceed as follows:  
make sure the appliance is ready.  
press the  
button (the light over the button comes on) then press the  
button repeatedly until

DESCALE YES  
Press the  
button to start the descale program.  
Empty the tank and pour in the contents of one bottle (4.2 fl. oz.) of DURGOL descaler plus 34 oz. of  
water. For subsequent descaling operations, descaling solution can be purchased from authorized tech-  
nical service centers.  
Note: Make sure splashes of descaler do not fall onto surfaces sensitive to acid such as marble, limesto-  
ne and glaze.  
Place a plastic or glass container with a minimum capacity of 50 oz under the hot water spout (Fig. 3);  
Turn the steam knob half a turn counterclockwise (fig.3). The descaling solution will run out of the cap-  
puccino frother and start to fill the container underneath.  
The descale program automatically performs a series of run offs and pauses to remove lime scale depo-  
sits from inside the coffee maker.  
After about 30 minutes, the appliance displays:  
DESCALING COMPLETED TURN KNOB  
Turn the steam knob a half turn clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4).  
The appliance must now be rinsed through to eliminate residues of descaling solution from inside the applian-  
ce. Proceed as follows:  
Remove the water tank, rinse and fill with clean water.  
Reposition the tank.  
Empty the collection container (under the cappuccino frother) full of liquid and then put it back under the  
cappuccino frother.  
Turn the steam knob a half turn counterclockwise (fig. 3).  
17  
Hot water is run off from the cappuccino frother into the container below and the appliance displays:  
RINSING  
When the water tank is empty, the appliance displays the message:  
RINSING COMPLETED TURN KNOB  
Turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4) and refill the water tank with clean water.  
The descale program is now complete and the appliance is ready to make coffee again.  
NOTE: if the descaling cycle is interrupted before completion, the appliance continues to display the descale  
message and the program must be started again from the beginning.  
IMPORTANT: : FAILURE TO DESCALE THE APPLIANCE REGULARLY INVALIDATES THE GUARANTEE.

12.6 Setting water hardness  
The descale message is displayed after the appliance has been operated for a factory set period of time cal-  
culated on the basis of the maximum quantity of lime scale which may be contained in the water used. If  
necessary, this period of operation can be extended, making descaling less frequent, by programming the  
appliance based on the actual lime content in the water used. Proceed as follows:  
Remove the "Total Hardness Test" strip (enclosed on page 2) from its packaging then dip it fully in the  
water tank for a few seconds, Remove it and wait about 30 seconds (until it changes color and a num-  
ber of red dots are formed);

test strip (for example, if there are 3 red squares on the test strip, press the button until WATER HARD-  
NESS 3 is displayed).  
Press the  
button to confirm the value. The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the desca-  
ling warning when necessary, based on the actual hardness of the water.

LIMITED WARRANTY  
What does the warranty cover?  
We warrant each appliance to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Our obligation under  
this warranty is limited to repair at our factory or authorized service center of any defective parts or part  
thereof, other than parts damaged in transit. In the event of a products replacement or return, the unit  
must be returned transportation prepaid. The repaired or new model will be returned at the company

The warranty does not cover defects or damage of the appliance, which result from repairs or alterations  
to the appliance outside our factory or authorized service centers, nor shall it apply to any appliance,  
which has been subject to abuse, misuse, negligence or accidents. Also, consequential and incidental  
damage resulting from the use of this product or arising out of any breach of contract or breach of this  
warranty are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
