IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the  
following:  
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 damaged  
in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or

only. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.  
DO NOT unscrew or remove boiler cap while the machine is in operation. Wait until brewing cycle is  
completed and all water and steam has been used up.  
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.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE  
FILLING THE WATER TANK  
Remove the water tank lid (fig. 2) and then take out the  
tank by pulling upwards (fig. 3).  
Fill the tank with fresh clean water taking care not to  
exceed the MAX level (fig. 4).  
Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve  
located on the bottom of the tank.  
More simply, the tank can also be filled without  
removing it, pouring the water directly from a jug.  
IMPORTANT: It is normal for there to be water in the  
space under the tank. This should therefore be dried  
regularly with a clean sponge.  
Note: Never use the appliance without water in the  
tank and always remember to top up when the level  
drops to about an inch from the bottom.  
2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure  
of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 10).  
To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled  
measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the filter.  
Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground  
coffee from overflowing.  
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the  
ground coffee to the filter, clean the filter from  
residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion.  
3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly  
with the tamper (fig. 11). Note: Correct pressing of  
the ground coffee is essential to obtain a good  
espresso. If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will  
be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too  
light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth  
will be skimpy and light colored.  
PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT  
4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter  
holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.  
Rotate firmly (fig. 6) to avoid leaks of water.  
5.Place the cup or cups (ideally preheated by rinsing  
with a little hot water) under the filter holder spouts  
(fig. 12).  
To obtain espresso coffee at the ideal temperature, it is  
recommended that the coffee machine be preheated.  
Turn the selector knob to the  
position (fig. 5) before  
making coffee, making sure the filter holder is attached  
to the appliance (check that the steam knob is closed).  
To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler  
outlet with the handle towards the left (see fig. 6), push  
it upwards and at the same time rotate the handle  
towards the right. Rotate firmly. Wait until the  
preheating process is complete, and then make coffee  
as described in the following chapter.  
6.Make sure the OK light (fig. 7) is on (if off, wait until  
it comes on), then turn the knob to the  
position  
(fig. 8) until the required quantity is obtained. To  
interrupt, place the selector back in the  
(fig. 5).  
position  
7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from  
right to left.  
IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the  
filter holder while the appliance is delivering  
coffee.  
8.To eliminate the used coffee grounds, block the filter  
in place using the lever incorporated in the handle  
and empty the coffee by turning the filter holder  
upside down and tapping (fig. 13).  
9.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to  
the "O" position (fig. 14).  
Alternatively, preheating can be achieved more rapidly  
proceeding as follows:  
1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to  
the  
position (fig. 5) and attach the filter holder to  
the appliance without adding ground coffee.  
2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup  
as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to  
preheat it.  
3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 7),  
then immediately rotate the selector knob to the  
position (fig. 8), run the water off until the OK  
indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by  
IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all  
accessories must be washed thoroughly by making at  
least five coffees without using ground coffee.  
rotating the selector knob to the  
position (fig. 5).  
4.Empty the cup. Wait until the OK indicator light  
comes on again then repeat the same operation.  
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE  
FILTER FOR GROUND COFFEE  
1.After preheating the appliance as described above,  
place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,  
making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the  
slot as shown in fig. 9. For appliances with two  
filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest

ounces of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.  
The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not  
hot!). In choosing the size of the container, bear in  
mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume.  
Note: You are recommended to use skim milk at  
refrigerator temperature.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE  
FILTER  
About every 300 coffees or when the coffee drips out  
of the filter holder or not at all, clean the ground coffee  
filter holder as follows:  
4.Place the container with milk under the Jet Frother  
(fig. 17).  
5.Immerse the Jet Frother in the milk about 1/4 of an inch  
and rotate the steam knob counter-clockwise (fig. 18)  
(rotating the knob more or less varies the quantity of steam  
discharged by the Jet Frother). The milk now starts to  
increase in volume and take on a creamy appearance.  
6.When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the  
Jet Frother deeply and continue heating the milk (fig.  
19). When the required temperature is reached (the  
ideal is 60°C - 140°F), interrupt steam delivery by  
rotating the steam knob clockwise and placing the  
selector in the "O" position (fig. 14).  
• Remove the filter from the filter holder.  
• Remove the filter cap (fig. 22) by unscrewing in the  
direction indicated by the arrow on the cap.  
• Remove the frother from the container by pushing it  
from the cap end.  
• Remove the gasket (fig. 25).  
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter  
thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 23).  
Make sure the holes in the metal filter are not  
blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (see fig. 24).

CLEANING THE BOILER OUTLET  
About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler outlet  
must be cleaned as follows:  
• Make sure the appliance is not hot and that it is  
unplugged from the outlet.  
• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw fixing the  
espresso boiler outlet filter (fig. 28).  
• Clean the outlet filter thoroughly in hot water using a  
brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If  
necessary, clean with a pin.
