Remove the packaging. Make sure the product is complete and undamaged. Check if all accessories are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged.

Please note the following:

• Coffee has been used to test the appliance in the factory. Therefore it is completely normal that there are traces of coffee in the mill.

• Customise the water hardness as soon as possible by obeying the instructions in the manual.

• Always use clean and cold tap water, bottled water without added minerals or distilled water suitable for consumption.

• The first time you use the appliance, the water circuit is empty and could be very noisy. The noise lessens as the circuit fills.

• You may need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before it gives satisfactory results.

• It is normal to hear the noise of boiling water for the first 5-6 beverages.

• To access the main switch and other components, pull the appliance forward. Pull the coffee spouts forward to open the service door.

To set your appliance to ‘On’, follow the instructions on the display. Each time the appliance is set to ‘On’, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle. This cycle cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after the completion of this cycle. A tip is to put a cup under the spouts to collect the hot water from the rinse cycle to warm the cup. Do not push the main switch while the appliance is set to ‘On’.

To set the appliance to ‘Standby’ after making coffee, press the power button. Each time the appliance is set to ‘Standby’, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.

If you do not plan to use the appliance for a long period, set it to ‘Off’. To disconnect the appliance completely, place the main switch on the side of the appliance in the 0 (off) position.

• The supply of coffee can be stopped at any moment.

• As soon as the supply has ended, you can increase the quantity of water.

• You can customise beverages.

• Adjust the grind level if the coffee is supplied a drop at a time or too weak and not creamy enough.

• Lower the spouts to the cup as near as possible. This makes the coffee more creamy.

• After the coffee supply, the aroma setting and the quantity setting are reset to the ‘original recipe’.

• Once a beverage has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next beverage.

To make a hotter coffee, you can:

– Perform a rinse cycle and warm the cups with the hot water from the rinse cycle.

– Supply hot water to warm the cups.

– Use the cup warmer setting to warm the cups.

– Increase the coffee temperature setting.

Do not use green, caramelised or candied coffee beans. They could make the coffee mill unusable. Follow the pictorial instructions in the manual to add beans and make coffee.

Please follow these rules when using pre-ground coffee:

• Only add pre-ground coffee when the appliance is set to ‘On’. Otherwise, the coffee could spread through the inside of the appliance and damage it.

• Only make one cup of coffee at a time. Do not use more than 1 measuring spoon.

• Make sure the funnel is not blocked.

To prevent damage to the appliance, do not clean with alkaline detergents; use a soft cloth and, where applicable, neutral detergent. Clean all components thoroughly, taking particular care with parts in contact with the milk.

• After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact a qualified professional.

• Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician and in compliance with current regulations.

• Packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene etc.) must not be left within reach of children as they may represent a hazard.

• Never install the appliance in environments where the temperature may reach 0 °C or lower, as the appliance may be damaged if the water freezes.

• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating plate. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket.

• Make sure the socket used is freely accessible at all times, enabling the appliance to be unplugged when necessary.

• Never touch the plug with damp hands.

• Never pull the power cable as you could damage it.

• This appliance can be installed over a built-in oven if the latter is fitted with a cooling fan.

• Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads.

The appliance rating label is located on the side of the appliance.
