INSTALLATION
•Place the appliance on a firm level surface far from water faucets, sinks, and heat sources.
•Check that the voltage of the electrical mains corresponds to the voltage shown on the appliance rating plate.
Connect the appliance only to an efficiently grounded outlet with a minimum rating of 10A only. The manufacturer may not be considered liable for possible incidents caused by the failure to adequately ground the outlet.
•If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified electrician.
•Never install the appliance in a room where the temperature may reach 32°F (0°C) or lower (the appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Lift the cover (Fig. 1) and remove the water tank (Fig. 2). Fill the tank with cold clean water, being careful not to fill above the MAX. level (Fig. 3).
Replace the tank in the appliance and press it down gently so that the valve on the bottom of the tank opens. You can also leave the tank in the appliance and fill by pouring water in directly with a carafe.
ATTENTION: It is completely normal to find water in the compartment below the tank. When this occurs, use a clean sponge to dry the compartment.
NOTE: Never operate the appliance without water in the tank, and always remember to refill tank when the water level is about two inches from the bottom.
PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT
To have an espresso coffee at the right temperature, we recommend preheating the machine as follows:
1.Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the machine (the button lights up) (Fig. 4) and fasten the
2.Place a cup under the
3.Wait for the “coffee ready” light 
(Fig. 6) on the coffee button to come on, then press the button and let the water run through until the light goes off, then press the button again to stop the dispensing.
4.Empty the cup, wait for the “coffee ready” light 
to come back on, and repeat the same operation again.
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE FILTER- HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE
1.After preheating the machine as described above, place the filter for ground coffee in the
For machines with two filters, use the smaller one to make one espresso and the larger one to make two espressos.
NOTE: Use coffee that has been ground fine (for an espresso machine) to get the best crema.
2.To make just one coffee, fill the filter with one heaping measuring scoop of ground coffee, about 0.25 oz. (7 grams) (Fig. 8). To make two coffees, fill the filter with two level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 0.4 oz. / 12 grams). Fill using small amounts at a time to prevent the ground coffee from
spilling over.
IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before filling with ground coffee check the filter to make sure there are no coffee residues from the previous infusion.
3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it down gently with the tamper (Fig. 9).
NOTE: Tamping the ground coffee is very important for obtaining a good espresso coffee. If you tamp excessively, the coffee will emerge slowly and the crema will have a dark color. If you tamp too little, the coffee will emerge too quickly and the crema will be scarce and light in color.
4.Remove excess coffee from the edge of the filter and attach it to the machine. Turn firmly (Fig. 5) to avoid water leaking out.
5.Place the cup(s) under the
6.Make sure the “coffee ready” light 
(Fig. 6) is on (if off, wait for it to come on), then press the coffee button. When the desired amount of coffee is obtained, press the button again to stop dispensing (Fig. 6).
7.To unfasten the
CAUTION: To prevent splashes, never remove the
