Do not cover the cup-warming
shelf with fabrics, felt etc.
• Once switched on, the machine
takes about 15 minutes to heat
up. The outside temperature can
affect heating times.
• It is recommended that you
place the filter holder in the
group head before switching
the machine on. This allows the
filter holder to reach a perfect
temperature.
To prepare coffee, proceed as follows:
• Place the required filter (22-23) into
the filter holder (25-26).
• Fill the filter with the required amount
of coffee for 1 or 2 cups (7-8 g – 14-16
g) according to the filter selected.
• Level the coffee and compact it using
the tamper (18). Remove any coffee
residues from the edge of the filter
using the palm of your hand and insert
the filter holder into the group head
(11), moving it towards the right to
secure it.
• Place the cups under the spouts and
start to dispense coffee using the
group head control lever (15). The
coffee is dispensed by moving the
group head lever (15) located on the
control panel upwards.
• Once the required amount of coffee
has been dispensed, move the group
head lever (15) down to stop delivery.
• To dispense additional cups of coffee,
remove the filter holder (12) from the
group head (11) by moving it towards
the left, empty the coffee grounds and
repeat the steps described above.
Do not touch the group heads or
the steam and hot water nozzles
when the machine is in operation
and do not place your hands
under the group heads or pipes
during delivery in order to avoid
possible scalding.
When the machine is new, the
filter holder may not be aligned
(perpendicular to the machine) as
shown in Figure 3. However, this
does not prevent the machine
from working properly. After
being used for a short time, the
filter holder will gradually become
settled in the correct position.

holder when the machine is new

• Coffee should be ground
just before it is used. Once
ground, coffee loses its flavour
very quickly. If the coffee is too
coarsely ground, the coffee will be
light coloured and weak without
froth and if the coffee is too finely
ground the espresso will be dark
and strong with little froth.
• Warm cups help maintain the
coffee at the right temperature.
We therefore recommended that
before using them, you place the
cups on the cup warmer shelf (3),
which will be warmed by the heat
given off from the boiler.
• The pump pressure can be read
on the respective pressure gauge
(5) during delivery.
• The correct pressure for making
coffee is 8/9 bar.

• The pressure gauge (33) mounted on
the group head, allows the brewing
pressure profile of the espresso to be
read.
• This allows the user to make sure that
