Water lter (only in certain models)
Certain models come with a water-lter in-pack. All models
can have this water lter tted. To install, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the lter from the packaging.
2. Rotate the calendar disc (see g. 8) to reveal the next two
months of use.
Take note:
The lter will last the equivalent of two months if the appliance
is used normally. If, on the other hand, the machine is left
unused with the lter installed, it will last for the equivalent
of 3 weeks, maximum.

4. Immerse the lter completely in a basin of water, tipping
it to allow any air bubbles to escape (g. 10).
5. Fill the water-tank, insert the lter in its proper slot (g.
11) and push it rmly down.
Pre-heating the coee machine
To obtain an espresso coee at the right temperature, you are
advised to pre-heat the machine in the following way:
1. Switch on the machine by turning the selector dial into
the position (the relative light will come on) (g.
12). Insert an espresso coee lter into the lter holder,
ensuring that the pin is correctly inserted into its proper
slot as indicated in g. 13. Use the smaller lter if you
want to make one cup of coee, or the larger lter if you
wish to make two. Attach the lter-holder, complete
with lter, to the machine (g. 14), without lling it with
ground coee.
2. Positionacupunderthelter-holder.Usethesamecup
in which you intend to make the coee, so that it will pre-
warm.
3. Wait for the OK light to come on (g. 15) and then
immediately turn the selector dial to position (g.
16)Letthe watercomeoutuntiltheOK light goes o,
then stop it by turning the selector dial to position
(g. 12) and empty the cup.
(It is normal for a small, harmless pu of steam to escape while
the lter-holder is being detached).
Preparation of espresso with ground coee
1. First, pre-heat the machine and the lter-holder as
described in the previous paragraph. Use the smaller lter
if you want to make one cup of coee, or the larger lter if
you wish to make two.
Preparation of espresso coee
2. If you only want to make one cup of coee, ll the lter
with a level measure of ground coee, about 7gr (g.
17). If, on the other hand, you wish to make two coees,
ll the lter with two scant measures of ground coee
(about 6+6 gr.). Fill the lter with small quantities at a
time to avoid spillage of the ground coee.
Caution:
To guarantee correct functioning, before relling the lter
with ground coee, ensure that it is free of any coee powder
residue from the previous infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press it down
lightly with the tamper (g. 18). The way in which the
ground coee is pressed down is a very important factor
in obtaining a good espresso. If you press too rmly,
the coee will come out slowly and have a thick, dark-
coloured consistency. On the other hand, if you press too
lightly, the coee will come out too fast and will have a
thin, light-coloured consistency.
4. Remove any excess coee from the edge of the lter-
holder, and attach the latter to the machine. Rotate the
hand-grip rmly to the right (g. 14) to avoid any water
leakage.
5. Positionthecuporcupsunderthenozzlesofthelter-
holder (g. 19). It is advisable to warm the cups before
making the coee, by rinsing them with a little hot
water.
6. Check that the OK light (g. 15) is on (if it is o, wait until
it comes on), and turn the selector dial to position
(g. 16). Once you have obtained the quantity of coee
you want, stop the process by rotating the selector dial
to position
(g. 12). (It is advisable not to dispense
coee for more than 45 seconds)
7. To detach the lter-holder, rotate the hand-grip from
right to left.
Danger of scalding!
To avoid splashing, never detach the lter-holder while the
machine is dispensing.
8. To dispose of used coee, hold the lter fast while
pressing it with the appropriate lever incorporated into
the hand-grip. Then turn out the grounds by turning the
lter-holder over and rapping it sharply (g. 20).
9 . To switch o the coee machine, turn the selector dial to
position .
