starting the appliance
Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as that indicated on the technical information plate of the appli-
ance. Place the appliance on a flat surface, ensuring the suction cups stick firmly to the surface.
Before using the appliance for the first time wash the tank. Fill it up with fresh cool water and insert it in its housing. Insert
the plug into the socket, which must be earthed.
if water drips out of the pipe inside the tank, this does not mean the machine is faulty but it is a sign that the prim-
ing valve is working normally.
starting the first time
After having filled the tank with cool tap water, start the machine by pressing the button (G). The indicator lamp (H) will turn
on, indicating that the machine is on, as well as indicator lamp (L), indicating that the internal boiler is starting to heat up.
Place a container on the cup-holding plate (E). Press the coffee dispensing switch (I) until you see water come out of the
filter holder seat (Fig. 4).
if you are starting the machine for the first time or after a period of time during which it has not been used, it is
recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed to pass through the boiler's hydraulic circuit; with the cof-
fee dispensing button down, turn the steam dispensing knob clockwise (s), after placing a cup under the nozzle of
the maxi Cappuccino attachment (C).
Turn the knob in the opposite direction (S) to stop the water from coming out of the cappuccino maker and release the but-
ton (I). After a short while you will notice that the indicator lamp (L) turns off to indicate that the boiler has reached the right
temperature for preparing coffee.

Put the Thermocream® Disc (M), the perforated silicone disc (O) and the Thermocream® Filter (N) into the filter holder in
the order indicated (Fig. 3). Measure out the coffee in the filter and lightly press with the specially provided presser. Insert
the filter holder into its seat.
Warning!
Tighten well by turning it from left to right while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 5).
If too much ground coffee is put inside the filter, turning the filter holder may prove difficult and/or you may get leaks
from the filter holder when the coffee is being dispensed.
Check that the steam function button (Q) has not been unintentionally pressed
It is advisable to let the filter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the first cup is
piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of coffee that follow.
Press the button (I). The coffee will start coming out of the spouts of the filter holder. Press the button (I) again to stop it.
The minimum serving of coffee is 50 ml.
Warning!
Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter holder when the dispensing switch (I) is on; danger
of burns!
Warning!
Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the filter holder. To remove it, turn it
slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.
When the machine is stopped waiting for commands, the lamp (L) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler
thermostat is tripping, which serves to keep the water temperature optimum.
if small puffs of steam come out of the filter holder coupling seat, this phenomenon is to be considered absolutely normal.
It is a good idea to start dispensing the coffee only when the indicator lamp (L) is off.
how to make coffee with a pod
To make coffee with pods you must use the specific pod filter (T) that came with the coffee maker as described below:
1 Put the drip tray (V) and pod filter (U) inside the filter holder (T) (Fig. 12).
2 Place the pod in the filter ring (Fig. 13).
