TECHNICAL FEATURES
On the backside of the machine, next to the general power switch, there is an identification plate reportingthe technical data to be communicated to the Retailer in case of a request for information or technical assistance.
Damage, removal or alteration of the identification plate must be immediately reported to the Retailer. Warranty claims will not be possible if the identification plate is damaged, removed or altered.

INSTALLATION
Remove the machine from the packaging and place it on a stable surface, suitable to support its weight, near a suitable power socket. Keep the original packaging in all its parts for possible future transport.
TANK FILLING
Remove the steel cover (ref. G) to access the water tank. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A SOFTENER FILTER OR AN ANTI-SCALE BAG that needs to be periodically replaced. Should this not be done, scale deposits may form inside the machine that could jeopardize its proper functioning and the validity of the warranty. After having inserted the softener filter inside the tank, fill it with drinking water, possibly with low calcium content. You can fill the tank using a funnel and a bottle. If the tank runs out of water, the pumps may burn out and, as a result, the machine may short-circuit.
POWER GRID CONNECTION
The supply voltage of the machine cannot be modified by the user. Before connecting the device to the power grid, check that the mains voltage corresponds to the machine’s supply voltage indicated on the identification plate.
COFFEE SPOUT (ref. b)
The coffee spout is located on the front side of the machine.
While the machine is dispensing coffee, do not touch the spouts and do not expose your face to the hot parts of the machine (danger of burns). The heating surfaces of the machine are subject to residual heat even after use!
POWER ON
Turn on the machine by pressing the green light switch located on the right side of the machine; the built-in indicator light will switch on. As soon as the machine is turned on, the rapid heating process of the boiler begins. Wait for the heating light (ref. C) to turn on: when this happens, it means that the water has reached the optimal operating temperature and the machine is ready to use.
HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
Lift the pod-press lever (ref. F) upwards and insert a suitable pod in the appropriate seat (ref. H). With one hand lower the lever until it snaps into place, while the other hand touches the top of the machine to improve its stability. Place a small cup under the spout and press the dispensing switch (refD); after about 5 seconds the coffee starts brewing. Once you have reached the desired level in the cup, press the dispensing switch again to stop the coffee brewing process. If the heating light (ref. C) turns off during brewing, it simply means that the machine is heating up to bring the water to the optimal temperature; after that, the brewing process can go on. Before dispensing the next cup of coffee, it is advisable to wait until the heating light (ref. C) turns on. Once the coffee has been dispensed, we recommend removing the pod to prevent it from sticking to the machine as it dries.
Do not insert fingers into the pod insertion seat (ref. H): danger of crushing and/or burns!It is important to empty the drip tray (ref. A) after dispensing not more than 10 cups of coffee.
If the tray is not emptied, water may leak out.
CLEANING
Do not use the dishwasher to clean the machine or its components. They would be irreparably damaged! Do not use solvents and abrasive products or materials.Any type of cleaning, except that of the dispensing unit, must be carried out when the machine is turned off (general power switch on zero) and after it has cooled down. To clean the external surface of the machine, use a soft wet cloth. The drip tray (ref. A) must be removed and washed with hot water and soap using a non-abrasive sponge and must be thoroughly dried before being reinserted. If the water tank needs to be cleaned, do it with hot water.
If you clean the tank with detergents, be sure to rinse it thoroughly, as any chemical residues inside the tank may cause food poisoning.
COMMON PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Repairs must be exclusively executed by authorized and qualified personnel. If you are unable to solve the problems with the help of the following table, please contact your Authorized Retailer.
Any repairs executed without observing the manufacturing specifications and/ or using non-original spare parts may be a source of danger to the user. If the water in the tank runs out, the pumps may burn and consequently, the machine may short-circuit.
