steam circuit: to ensure best possible results, repeat the
operation 3 or 4 times.
The machine is ready for use.
Please note:
It is also advisable to rinse the internal circuits if the machine is
not used for a prolonged period.
When using the machine for the rst time, 4-5 cups of co ee will
need to be made before it gives satisfactory results. Pay particu-
lar attention to the quantity of ground co ee in the lter ((C2) or
(C3)) (see instructions in section "4.1 Step 1 - Grinding").
Proceed as described in section "The "perfect dose"".

Rinsing the lter and the porta lter
To guarantee the cleanliness and the correct temperature of the
entire co ee circuit:
•
before preparing the dose ("4.1 Step 1 - Grinding" and
"4.2 Step 2 - Tamping"), attach the porta lter to the co ee
spout ( g. 7);
•
press the OK button (B4): the machine delivers water (hot
or cold, depending on the drink selected).
•
next, to ensure you pull the perfect shot, dry the lter and
porta lter with a cloth before preparing the dose.
Rinse the glass or cup
If a hot drink is being prepared, to ensure the co ee will be at the
optimum temperature:
•
position the cup/glass under the hot water spout (A6);
•
run a rinse cycle by pressing the

4.1 Step 1 - Grinding
1. Put co ee beans in the hopper(A2) ( g. 10). It is best to
grind only a quantity of beans su cient for immediate use,
so that the co ee will always be fresh.
2. Generally speaking, darker roasts will require a coarser
grind, whereas beans presenting a lighter coloured roast
need to be ground more nely. When using co ee beans
for the rst time, start with the factory default setting of
9 ( g. 11) and make sure that the dose is correct (see "The
"perfect dose""). Make an espresso and, depending on the
outcome, be prepared to adapt it. If the brew is too strong
(co ee dispensed too slowly), the grinder needs to be ad-
justed to a coarser setting. If the brew is too weak (co ee
Please note: A setting between 5 and 11 is recommended for
most co ees. A setting between of 1 and 4 is very ne and should
be used with special co ees only (light roast)
