Hardness of water: − Before filling up the water reservoir, make sure that the decalcifying Brita filter has been soaked in cold water for at least 30 min. (however follow the instructions printed on the filter package). After this operation insert the filter into its proper seat inside the reservoir as it is shown in the figure.
− Insert the machine into the cabinet pushing slightly until “CLIK!” can be heard: this is the signal that the machine has been locked. FILLING UP THE CONTAINER OF COFFEE BEANS − Press the unlocking levers available under the drip tray and pull the machine as it is shown in the figure. − Extract the espresso machine out of the cabinet sliding on the special slides.
− Pour approximately 200 g of coffee beans into the container availabe on the right side of the machine − Insert the machine into the cabinet pushing slightly until “CLIK!” can be heard: this is the signal that the machine has been locked. SIGNALLING WATER MISSING IN RESERVOIR ?? This machine is equipped with a sensor detecting the presence of water in the reservoir.
PRELIMINARY STARTING: FIRST USE 10 − After filling up the water reservoir, open the steam/water cock as it is shown in the figure. − Switch the espresso machine on by keeping the on-off/stand-by button pressed until the red LED stops flashing and is kept on. This indicator will signal the operating condition of the machine (flashing: STAND-BY; lit ON; out OFF). − At the same time the red indicator of heating will be on; this LED indicates the heating phase of the water inside the boiler.
− After the water has flowed out (if necessary, repeat the draining operation several times), close the knob again. − As soon as the heating LED goes out, the machine has reached the right temperature and it is ready to make coffee. Only the on-off indicator is kept on. RESETTING STANDARD VALUES − This espresso machine is calibrated in factory to make the optimum Italian espresso, as approved by the coffee University of Naples and complying with ILLY standards.
− A faint flashing of all the LEDs will signal that the factory values have been reset. N.B.: The standard values only concern the quantity of water required for each cup of coffee. Then the measures of ground coffee will not vary. CAUTION – ADJUSTING THE GROUND COFFEE − This machine is calibrated in factory for an ideal level of coffee grinding. The success of a good espresso depends on this grinding level very much.
− Extract the espresso machine out of the cabinet sliding on the special slides. − Turning the proper adjusting knob (A-10) will modify the grounding level. Turning the knob in clockwise direction will lead to a fine grinding for a stronger coffee. Turning the knob anti-clockwise will lead to a coarse grinding for a weaker coffee.
STAND-BY MODE − Once powered and inserted into the cabinet, the machine is in stand-by mode: this will be signaled by the on/off LED blinking. − Keep the on/off button pressed as it is shown in the figure. − As soon as the machine is ready to operate, the LED will be kept on as it is shown in the figure.

RECIPES ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO This is a normal espresso with steam-heated milk giving the coffee a milder flavour and a rich, delicious frothy topping. Serve in a large cup.
COLD ESPRESSO SHAKE Frothy and extremely refreshing, this drink is delicious on hot days. Prepare an espresso, add sugar and pour into a shaker with large ice cubes. Shake for few seconds. Serve in a tumbler or flûte. IRISH COFFE Energy-giving and invigorating drink. Warm a long glass and mix eight parts of hot coffee with one part whisky and brown sugar.
DRIP TRAY − − Remove the drip tray from the machine as it is shown in the figures above. Make sure that the drip tray is periodically drained to prevent any liquid from seeping out and dirtying/damaging the underlying furniture. Drip tray and relevant grille can be washed in a dishwasher. FILTER – FILTER-HOLDER – LOCKING NUT − 28 Always keep filters, filter-holder and locking nut clean. In fact any coffee residue can alter the taste of the next cups of coffee and provoke leaks.
− The steam nozzle should be periodically cleaned. Preparing milk for cappuccinos could dirty the inside of this nozzle. Therefore remove it as it is shown in the figures above and wash with a sponge in warm water. Attention: Before cleaning the steam nozzle, always switch the machine off and wait for at least 20 minutes so that the steam pipe can cool down. This will avoid the risk of scalding.
