4 INSTALLATION
For your own safety and that of other people, please strictly follow the "Safety Regulations" in section 3.
4.1 Packaging
The original packaging has been designed to protect the machine during transport.
It is recommended to keep the packaging for future transport.
4.2 Installation instructions
Before installing the machine, observe the following safety precautions:
• Place the machine in a safe area: on a flat, stable surface, away from water and moisture;
• Make sure the machine is out of the reach of children;
• Avoid placing the machine on very hot surfaces or near open flames.
The espresso machine is now ready to be connected to the power supply.

4.3 Connecting to the power supply

Before turning on the machine, make sure that the hot water / steam knob is closed.
• Electric current can be dangerous! Therefore, it is essential to follow the safety regulations carefully.
• Never use faulty electrical cords! Faulty electrical cords and plugs must be replaced immediately by
authorized customer service centers.
• The voltage of the appliance has been set by the manufacturer.
• Check that the voltage supplied matches the indications on the label on the bottom of the appliance.
• Connect the power cord to the machine as shown in Figure F.
• Connect the plug end of the power cord to a socket with suitable voltage.
• You can preheat your cups by placing them on the cup warming tray. (Warm cups will help retain the
espresso's crema and aroma.)
NOTE: The machine is equipped with an energy saving system. The machine will
automatically shut off 90 minutes after its last operation. To turn the machine on, press the
power button (15).

4.4 Filling the water tank

• Lift and remove the water tank lid (7).
• Remove the water tank (8) using the handle provided on the inside.
• Rinse and fill it with filtered water, taking care not to overfill.
• Replace the tank; press down firmly. Replace the lid (7).
For best results, only use cold, filtered water to fill the tank. Never use sparkling water. The quality
and filtration of the water to fill the tank will affect the final flavor of the espresso.
Hot water or any other liquid may damage the tank. Do not turn on the machine without water in the
tank; always make sure there is enough water in the tank.

4.5 Priming the water circuit

The machine's water circuit must be primed in the following cases: before using the machine, for the first
time out of the box, or after long periods of inactivity, and when the water tank becomes empty.
The machine indicates the need to prime the water circuit when the water light is blinking (24).
• Press the main power button (15). The button lights will start blinking slowly. This means the machine is
warming up. The blinking will stop when the machine is warmed up and ready to use.
• Place a container below the steam wand. Open the hot water/steam wand by turning the knob (6)
clockwise all the way.
• Wait until the water light (24) stops blinking.
• Close the hot water/steam wand, by rotating the knob (6) counter-clockwise all the way.
• The machine has been primed when the water light (24) shuts off.
• Remove and empty the container.
The machine will give best performance if the unit is allowed to fully heat up prior to pulling a shot of
espresso. For best results when making espresso, you will need to preheat the portafilter. A preheated
portafilter will result in warmer coffee and will help retain the espresso's flavourful taste.
• Insert the portafilter into the machine without coffee, and place a cup beneath the portafilter. (Fig. H)
• Press the coffee button (17). Allow the machine to dispense water through the portafilter.
• We suggest you dispense a couple of shots of water through the portafilter to heat it up to the optimal
temperature.
• When not brewing a cup of espresso, leave the cleaned portafilter attached to the machine. This will
ensure the portafilter remains preheated.
The machine is now ready to dispense espresso and steam; please see related sections for operating
details.
NOTE: The temperature gauge is a general indicator of the machine temperature. When the
machine is warming up, the coffee lights (18 and 20) will blink. The machine is warmed up
and ready to use when the coffee lights remain fixed. Even if the temperature gauge is in the green
area, the machine is ready to use only when the coffee lights remain fixed.
4.6 Drip tray adjustment
The drip tray can be adjusted according to the size of the cup(s) used.
When using small espresso cups or shot glasses used to prepare espresso, we recommend raising the drip
tray to the higher position, for optimal crema (Fig. G). If larger cappuccino or latte cups are used, lower the
drip tray. (Fig. H)
To lift the drip tray height, proceed as follows:
• Remove the drip tray grill and the drip tray. (Fig. I)
• Turn the "X" support upside down so that the hinges match up with the reference marks inside the base
of the machine as shown in the figure. (Fig. J and Fig. K)
• Place the drip tray and the grill back into place. (Fig. L)
