Operating the coffee machine
Before starting the machine
• Each capsule contains the correct amount of coffee for one cup of caffè lungo, cream
coffee or espresso coffee.
• Yon can control the amount of coffee as you like pressing the coffee selection button to
start and pressing it again to stop this function.
• Caffè lungo and espresso are more flavoursome if served in a warm cup. To pre-heat the
cup, you simply need to fill the cup with hot water and empty it before use.
• Once the coffee machine is ON and a capsule is
inside the holder, it is advisable not to wait too long
before using the capsule so as not to loose the
flavour of the coffee.
• A used capsule should never be left inside the
machine. The damp coffee that remains in the
capsule after use is bound to mould just like any
ground coffee or food stuff. If a used capsule is
inadvertently left in the machine for a few days,
clean the capsule holder in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual and, if necessary,
clean the spike inside the capsule-holder support,
being careful not to cut yourself.
• If the machine remains out of use for more than a
week, dispense a cup of hot water (as described on
Page 9) before using it to make coffee.
Filling the water tank
• Remove the cable plug from the power outlet.
• Lift the water tank and remove it by pulling upwards.
Remove the tank lid (Fig. 8) and fill the tank with
cold water. (Fig.9)
• Put the water tank back in place and close the lid.
• Connect the plug to the power outlet.
• Turn ON the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch; when the light () turns on, the machine is
ready for use.
Note:
Some water may dribble out of the capsule holder
while the water is being heated.
This is perfectly normal and does not jeopardize the
operation of the appliance.
