n To prolong the life of your appliance, we recommend you always use a Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge
(reference: F088) and that you descale the appliance at regular intervals
IMPORTANT!

4. USING
Before using your espresso machine for the first time, clean all accessories using warm water and a gentle
dishwashing liquid, and rinse well before replacing.
Make sure the steam knob on the right of the appliance is in the 0 position.
If you are not using the Claris cartridge, please refer to the paragraph below "RINSING OF
YOUR APPLIANCE".
A. INSTALLING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE (to be done every time the cartridge is replaced)
n Screw the Claris filter into the bottom of the water tank.
n Fill the water tank with water and replace it (fig.2 and 3).
n Place a container under the steam nozzle.
n Turn the machine on by pressing the "On / Off" button (fig.4).
n As soon as the machine reaches the required temperature, the "on/off" button stops flashing and the
1 cup and 2 cups buttons light up.
n Turn the knob to the "steam" position (fig. 13).
n At the beginning, steam comes out of the steam nozzle and the four buttons flash.
n Turn the knob to the "0" position (fig. 15). The machine automatically starts 2 or 3 cycles of intermittent
pumping.
n The four buttons begin to flash again.
n Turn the knob to the "steam" position: water comes out of the steam nozzle. If water does not flow from
the nozzle, repeat the operation from the beginning.
n Turn the knob to the "0" position (fig. 15).
n In this manner you can be sure that water is circulating through the filter cartridge.
IMPORTANT:
This installation procedure must be carried out every time the cartridge is
replaced.
The Claris cartridge needs to be replaced every 2 to 3 months if it is used daily.
B. RINSING YOUR APPLIANCE (to be done before the first use and after each cleaning /
descaling operation)
- RINSING OUT THE ESPRESSO CIRCUIT
n Turn the machine on and fill the water tank (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Insert the filter holder (without espresso ground coffee) in the appliance (fig.7).
n Place a container of sufficient volume under the filter holder.
n As soon as the appliance reaches the right temperature, the "on/off" light will stop blinking and the "1
cup" and "2 cup" buttons will light up.
