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.
Installing the appliance
Important!
When you install the appliance, you should
respect the following safety warnings:
The appliance gives off heat. Leave a free
space of at least 1 inch around the sides and
back of the appliance and at least 6 inches at
the top, otherwise the heat could be trapped
and damage the machine.
Water penetrating the appliance could cause
damage. Do not place the appliance near taps
or sinks.
The appliance could be damaged if the water
it contains freezes. Do not install the appli-
ance in a room where the temperature could
drop below freezing point.
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
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.
Using the appliance for the first
time
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.
1. Plug appliance into electrical outlet.
You must first select the language (the languages
scroll through at intervals of about two seconds):
2. When English appears, press the but-
ton for three seconds (fig. 1). Once the lan-
guage has been saved, the message "English
Installed" is displayed.
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).
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.
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.
