place. Use natural mineral water if tap water is too hard.
Close cover (1). Plug the machine to a GROUNDED socket using the supplied power cord (8).
Make sure the socket can support the capacity of the machine (see Technical Data).
Do not use multiple sockets and/or extension cords.
The use of a water filter (an optional accessory) improves water quality and prolongs machine
life. Use the "AquaAroma Crema Brita" for Lavazza filter (fig. l). In order to insert the filter,
follow the instruction sheet which comes with the accessory.
CAUTION: using the machine without water will cause serious damage not covered by
warranty.

PREPARATION OF COFFEE

To prepare an excellent espresso, the machine must be ready. For this reason, it is advisable to
switch the machine on a few minutes prior to use.
1) insert the cartridge in its seat in the cartridge-holding filter
2) insert the filter (11) in fixed boiler unit (9), push it upwards and rotate it counterclokwise
until it is completely tightened (fig. c-d);
3) depending on the size of the cup used, adjust the height of the cup support rack by turning
(6)
over the base (figs. e-f-g);
4) press the coffee switch (14) to start dispensing the coffee (fig. f);
5) when you reach the desired quantity, stop dispensing the coffee by returning switch
its original position;
Wait about 5 seconds, then open the cartridge-holding filter
left and remove the cartridge.
Always remove the used cartridge from the machine after dispensing coffee.
CAUTION: when preparing cappuccino, dispense coffee first and then froth the milk.
IMPORTANT: always make sure that there is water in the tank and that the tank is properly
hooked to the machine.
Note: when the machine is on, some drops from the filter are normal. Empty the drop-collecting
(7)
tray often.

SHORTAGE OF WATER
Water level can be directly checked through the transparent tank, and it must always be above
the minimum level. In case of water shortage, water dispensing stops, the pump is more noisy
and a gurgling noise is produced in the water tank.
WARNING: before filling the tank, disconnect the device from the power outlet.
CAUTION: immediately fill the tank with fresh water, paying attention not to exceed the maxi-
mum level, and return to normal use.
If the water supply runs out during operation, without inserting the cartridge-holding filter (11),

Clean the support unit
You can remove drop-collecting tray (7), milk frother (5), coffee spout (12), water tank (2), and
cartridge-holding filter (11), wash them with running water, dry them carefully and replace them.
For cleaning use an ordinary, neutral liquid detergent. Under no circumstances use abrasives,
alcohol or solvents. Never immerse the machine in water.
DECALCIFICATION
This operation is necessary in order to keep the machine in proper working condition. Decal-
cification should be done every 2 - 3 months. In particular, it is necessary before an extended
period of disuse (for example, before going on holiday), in order to avoid hardening of calcium
deposits which would severely damage the seals and pump.
Please ask your retailer where to find products made specifically for coffee machines, provided
with clear instructions.
CAUTION: Damage caused by calcium deposits are not covered by warranty.
