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.
