Fit in the water tank (8), pushing it in as far as it will go, and place the drip tray (7). WARNING! Plug the appliance into the mains power; the power control light (D) will flash to show that the appliance is connected to the mains electricity (Stand-by). 11

Press and hold down the buttons ON/OFF (E) and hot water delivery (C) together until water begins to come out of the delivery group. During this stage, the control lights to signal no water (H) and the power control light (D) will flash and the pump will operate. Release the buttons ON/OFF (E) and hot water delivery (C) to stop the boiler filling cycle. The appliance will automatically return to Stand-by mode. 6. SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE Press and hold down the button ON / OFF (E) for about 3 seconds; the red control light (D) will go from flashing to lit to show that the appliance has been switched on; at the same time, the control lights from 85 C will 120 C switch on for about one second (electronic system check). The control light for the set temperature value will start to flash to indicate that the coffee delivery group is heating up and the automatic boiler refill will be activated until the water level set by the manufacturer has been reached. Once the filling stage is complete, the boiler control light (D) will begin to flash, indicating that the boiler is heating up. The first time that the machine is switched on, this will not be enabled until the group reaches the set temperature. Attach the orta ilter (4) to the group ea. Wait until the appliance reaches the set temperature, making sure that the control lights on the control panel (I) switch on progressively as the temperature increases. This starts as soon as the temperature reaches the minimum setting, with the switching ON of the control light 85 C, and it will proceed until the appliance operating temperature has been reached (the control light goes from flashing to lit). When the group reaches the set temperature, the boiler heating function is enabled. Once it reaches the set temperature, the control light will stay lit. 12

Every time that the temperature of the group or boiler drops below the set temperature, the control light for the operating temperature will start to flash (appliance heating phase), until the set temperature is reached. The appliance is now ready for use. WARNING! The boiler is activated by pressing the button BOILER (G). To deactivate the boiler, press and hold down the same button for 3 seconds. When the boiler is switched off, it is not possible to dispense hot water for infusions or to dispense steam. TAKE NOTE! The Boiler status is stored to memory. 13

Remove the pitcher from the steam wand (8) and clean immediately with a et clot or to el. Purge t e steam an e ore an a ter use acti ating or secon ile care ull ointing into t e ri tra. 6.4 ECONOMY MODE This mode is meant for less frequent uses of steam and water for infusions, in fact priority is always given to the heating of the group for coffee delivery rather than to the heating of the boiler. In this way the two heating-elements are never fed at the same time, with a consequent remarkable power saving. In order to activate this mode press button boiler (E) and keep it pressed for about 10 seconds, the red light F turns on. To deactivate it, follow the same procedure again, until the light F turns off. WARNING! This mode can be activated on appliances with the following voltages: 230 V 115 V with 20 A plug It is not possible to activate the ECONOMY mode on appliances with the following voltages 115 V with 15 A plug. 15

7. OPERATING TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT The operating temperature of the machine can be modified to improve the flavor profile of the coffee according to individual tastes. The recommended brewing temperature range for espresso coffee is 92 to 96 degrees celcius. While the appliance is operating, press and hold down the button ON//OFF (E) for about 3 seconds. The power control light (D) and the control light for the set temperature will flash. For example, if the set temperature is 95 C, the control light (15) will flash. To set the operating temperature in 5-degree increments, proceed as follows: Press and release the hot water button (C); each time the button is pressed, the temperature will be increased by 5 C (and the relevant control light will start to flash). When the maximum temperature of 120 C is reached (control light 20), the selection function will return to the minimum temperature of 85 C (control light 14) (cyclical operation). Once the required temperature has been selected, press the button ON/ OFF (E) to confirm the setting, and the appliance will return to normal operation. 16

To adjust the operating temperature by single degree increments, proceed as follows: Switch off the appliance by pressing the button ON/OFF (E); the red control light (D) will go from lit to flashing (machine on stand-by). Press and hold down the two-cup button (L) for about 3 seconds; the control lights 100 C and 105 C will switch on to indicate that the settings phase is in progress for intervals of 1 C. Each time that the boiler button (G) is pressed, the control lights 18, 19 and 20 will switch ON in succession and each control light indicates an increase of one degree centigrade compared to the set temperature. Each time that the one-cup button (A) is pressed, the control lights 15, 14 and 13 will switch on and each of these control lights indicates a decrease of one degree centigrade compared to the set temperature. For example, if the set operating temperature is 95 C and the control lights 18 and 19 switch on, the set temperature will become 95 + 2 = 97 C. Once the required temperature has been selected, press the two-cup button (L) to confirm the setting. Hold the ON/OFF button (E) for 3 seconds to return machine to operating mode. 17
