• Water penetrating the coee machine 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 appliance in a room where the tempera-

ture could drop below freezing point.

• Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged

by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric

hot plates).

• The appliance gives o heat.

After positioning the appliance on the worktop, leave a

space of at least 3 cm between the surfaces of the appli-

ance and the side and rear walls and at least 15 cm above

the coee machine.

Connecting the appliance

Danger!

Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that

indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.

Connect the appliance to an eciently earthed 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 qualied

electrician.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. Open the lid of the appliance (g. 1) then extract the tank

by pulling upwards (g. 2);

2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to ex-

ceed the MAX level (g. 3).

Put the tank back in the appliance, pressing lightly to open

the valves located on the bottom of the tank.

3. More simply, the tank can also be lled without removing

it, pouring the water directly from a jug.

Important:

Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or with-

out the tank.

Check the level of water in the tank through the viewing win-

dow (A12).

SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

Important: Everytime you switch on the appliance, make sure that the

mode selector dial (B1) is turned to I position (Stand-by).

1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button (g.

4): the power light I comes on.

2. Insert the required coee lter in the lter holder (g. 5).

3. Attach the lter holder onto the machine without lling it

with ground coee (g. 6).

4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and an-

other 0.5 litre container under the cappuccino maker.

5. Wait until the OK light comes on (g. 8) and immediately

afterwards turn the mode selector dial to the

position (g. 9) and deliver about half the tank through the

lter holder.

6. Then turn the steam dial to the position (g. 10)

and deliver all the water remaining in the tank through the

cappuccino maker.

7. Turn the steam dial back to the 0 position and the mode

selector dial to the l position (STAND-BY).

8. Empty the two containers and replace them under the

boiler outlet and the cappuccino maker and repeat points

5-6-7.

Now the appliance is ready for use.

Auto-o

If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (variable

according to the model), it turns o automatically (the power

light goes out).

Tips for a hotter coee

To make espresso coee at the right temperature, the coee

maker should be preheated as follows:

1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (the

ON light comes on) (g. 4) and attach the lter holder to

the appliance without adding pre-ground coee (g. 6).

2. Place a cup under the lter holder. Use the same cup as will

be used to prepare the coee in order to preheat it.

3. Wait until the OK light comes on (g. 8) and immediately

afterwards turn the selector dial to the position

(g. 9) and let water discharge until the OK light turns o,

then interrupt by turning the dial to the I position.

4. Empty the cup, wait until the OK light comes on again and

then repeat the same operation.

(It is normal for a small and harmless pu of steam to be given

o when removing the lter holder).

Mugs or glasses tray (models ECP35.31 and

ECP33.21 only)

If you are using tall cups or glasses (for example, to make long

coee or macchiato),extract the drip tray and rest the cup di-

rectly on the mugs or glasses tray (A14 - g. 11).

Once you have made your coee, put the drip tray back in

position.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE

GROUND COFFEE

Important: Everytime you switch on the appliance, make sure that the

mode selector dial (B1) is turned to I position (Stand-by).

1. Place the ground coee lter (C2 or C3) in the lter holder.

Use the lter to make one coee or the

lter to make two coees.

2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-

ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter. (g. 12).

To make two coees, place two loosely lled measures

(about 6+6 g) of pre-ground coee in the lter.

Fill the lter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground

coee from overowing.

Important: For correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,

make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the last time you made

coee.

3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press light-

ly with the presser (g. 13). Correct pressing of the pre-

ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If

pressing is excessive, coee delivery will be slow and the

froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coee delivery

will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light

coloured.

4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder

and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle rmly to-

wards the right (g. 6) to avoid water leaking out.

5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.

14). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-

ing coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.

6. Make sure the OK light (g. 8) is on (if o, wait until

it comes on), then turn the mode selector dial to the

position. When the desired amount of coee

has been delivered, turn the dial to the l position.

7. To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to

left.

Danger of burns! To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while

the appliance is delivering coee.

8. To turn the appliance o, press the ON/OFF button.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS

1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section “Tips for

a hotter coee”, making sure the lter holder is attached.

This obtains a hotter coee.

Please note: Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the

pack by the following symbol.

The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso

coee to be prepared simply and cleanly.

2. Place the pod coee lter (C4 ) in the lter holder.
