IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
- Read the instructions carefully
- Never touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs
- To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs or machine in water or other liquid
- The machine must not be used by children
- Unplug from power socket:
*when the appliance is not in use
*before cleaning
*when the water tank is being filled.
Before unplugging, make sure that the general switch (A) is in off position, or up.
Allow machine to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance
- Do not operate any appliance that has a damaged power cord or plug or has given signs of malfunctioning, or has been damaged in any way. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorised service facility for checking or repairs
- The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause fires, electric shocks or injuries to people
- Do not use outdoors
- Do not allow power cord to hang over edge of table or counter
- Do not place the appliance on electric or gas burners, or in a hot oven
- Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use
- This machine is designed to "make espresso coffee" and "hot beverages": take care not to scald yourself with jets of water or steam or from
improper use
- After removing the packaging, make sure that the machine is in good condition. Should there be any doubt whatsoever, do not use the appliance and
contact a qualified person
- This appliance is intended for household use only. Any other use is considered improper and thereby dangerous
- The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any damage deriving from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use
- Should there be any failure or malfunction, switch the machine off and do not tamper with it. Contact only Technical Assistance Centres that are
authorised by the manufacturer for any repairs and ask them to use original spare parts only. Failure to do so will compromise the safety of the
appliance
- Place the appliance on a work top away from water fixtures and basins
- Check that the electrical outlet voltage corresponds to that indicated on the appliance data plate. Connect the appliance only to grounded electrical outlet
with a minimum rating of 6A at 230 VAC and a 12A rating at 110 VAC
- The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any accidents caused by failure to provide a grounded electrical system or non compliance with the laws in
force
- Should there be any incompatibility between the socket and the appliance plug, have the socket replaced with another of a suitable type by a qualified
person
- The machine must not be installed in an environment with a temperature lower than or equal to 0°C (if the water freezes, the appliance could get
damaged) or exceeding 40°C
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE
-
Caution: If limescale is not removed regularly - as outlined in the chapter on DESCALING - it is imperative that this is done by a service centre.
MACHINE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Before connecting the machine to the electrical outlet read the safety rules outlined in the previous chapter with care.
Make sure that switches (A), (B) and (C) are in up position, that the steam knob (I) is closed (fig.1) and that the machine is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
Insert the filter-holder (G) (fig. 2).
Remove water tank (R), wash it, fill it with cold water and replace it in the machine (fig. 3); make sure that the intake hose (Q) is immersed in the water.
Connect the machine to the power supply.
SWITCHING ON
Make sure that there is water in the tank.
Switch the machine on by flipping switch (A) downwards. Make sure that the red light (D) (fig. 4) comes on. If a repetitive acoustic signal is given every second,
flip the coffee and steam switches upwards.
When the machine is first switched on, the thermometer indicator (F) starts to go up until it reaches the steam zone and then it returns to the coffee zone. After
a few minutes, the green light (E) (fig. 5) comes on to indicate that the operating temperature has been reached and there is a short acoustic sound. Should the
lights fail to come on or there are rapid acoustic signals (5 impulses per second) consult the chapter on TROUBLESHOOTING.
The machine is fitted with a pressure regulating valve in the boiler, that causes slight dripping from the filter-holder when the temperature increases
(switching on and when switching from "coffee" to "steam.
NOTE: If the machine is being used for the first time or if it has been inoperative for a lengthy period, flushing is recommended by running water from the
boiler through the empty filter-holder several times (fig. 6).
