- Clean the tank, steam nozzle and filter holder
regularly. To keep your coffee machine in a
perfect condition, we recommend the use of a
special descaler product for coffee machines to
descale the appliance approximately once
every 12 months (depending on the hardness
of the water and the frequency with which the
appliance is used).
- Do not modify or repair the appliance. In the
event of any anomaly in the appliance, do not
use it and take it to an authorised assistance
service.
- Do not use any parts or accessories not
supplied or recommended by SOLAC.
- Before plugging the appliance into the mains,
check that the indicated voltage is the same as
in your home.
- Always unplug the appliance after use and
before assembling or removing parts, and
performing any maintenance or cleaning
operations. Also unplug it in the case of a
power cut. The appliance must be switched off
before plugging or unplugging it into the mains
- Never pull the cord or use it to hang up the
appliance. Always unplug the appliance by
pulling the connection pin, and not the cord.
- Make sure the cord does not come into contact
with sharp edges or hot surfaces. Do not leave
the cord hanging over the edge of a table or
worktop, to prevent children from pulling it and
causing the appliance to fall.
- Remove all elements from the inside or outside
of the appliance used for protection during
transport or for sales promotions, such as
paper or plastic bags, plastic sheets, cardboard
and stickers.
- Make sure that there is water in the tank,
before connecting the coffee maker. • Do not
touch the appliance with wet hands when in
operation.
- Do not use the appliance on wet surfaces or
outdoors.
- The appliance must be connected to a power
socket with a suitable ground connection.
- Do not release the filter holder while coffee is
coming out.
- Steam and water may sometimes emerge from
the coffee outlet. This is not a sign of a fault or
malfunction.
- This espresso coffee maker is a high pressure
model (up to 19 bar) and has a built-in electric
pump to draw out the maximum flavour and
aroma from the coffee. It is therefore normal for
the electric pump to make a little noise and
vibrate when it comes into operation.
TIPS
- Before using the coffee machine for the first
time, we recommend allowing the equivalent of
8-10 cups of water to run through the filter
holder (with no coffee in the filter). This
completely cleans the entire system.
- Getting the right espresso for every user's taste
is a result of the type of coffee, the dose and
the pressing:
- We recommend you choose your preferred
coffee blend, one with a fine grind especially for
espresso.
- The result will vary considerably according to
the quantity of coffee used. If you want a strong
coffee, you can exceed the dispenser spoon
amount and fill the filter holder to the top.
- Finally, we recommend that you press the
coffee to extract all the coffee essences and
improve the cream.
- Coffee should always come out of the filter
holder in a regular stream, without dripping. If
not, both the quantity of coffee and the
pressing should be reduced or the coffee grind
adjusted.
- We recommend that you make the coffee as
soon as the indicator light turns blue to ensure
a higher temperature.
SERVICE:
- Any misuse or failure to follow the instructions
for use renders the guarantee and the
manufacturer's liability null and void.
