IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.
- Read all instructions carefully.
- Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bottom of the machine.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electrical shock, and personal injury, do not immerse the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid.
- Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave the appliance unattended while in operation.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or countertop to avoid getting accidentally caught or entangled.
- Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners.
- Plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, first turn the machine off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not use the appliance for anything other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of the unit. Don’t attempt to repair or modify the machine; doing so will void the warranty. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- 3-wire, grounding-type cord, the extension should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
- The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cappuccinos before the results in the cup will be satisfactory.
- The first time you use the machine, the water circuit is empty, and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise becomes less as the circuit fills.
- Possible traces of coffee in the grinder are the result of settings tests performed on the appliance before sale, proof of the meticulous care and attention we invest in our products.
- We recommend you install the water filter supplied immediately. After two months (see date indicator) or when the appliance has not been used for 3 weeks, the filter should be replaced even if the message has not yet appeared.
- Customize water hardness as soon as possible.
TURNING THE MACHINE ON AND OFF
- Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle, which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is not ready for use until the cycle has been completed.
- Whenever the machine is turned off after being used to make coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.
Danger of scalding!
During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of water.
To turn the appliance on or off, press the POWER button.
If you will not be using the appliance for some time, unplug it from the mains socket.
MAKING HOT WATER
MAKING MILK-BASED BEVERAGES
Preparing the milk container
To open the milk container lid:
- Release the lid by turning it clockwise. The line on the lid must be aligned with the UNLOCK symbol.
- Then lift the lid.
Which milk to use?
- For a richer, denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). To avoid producing milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the Lattecrema System after use.
- The quality of the froth may vary depending on:
- The type of milk or vegetable beverage;
- The brand used.
- The ingredients and nutritional values.
How much milk should be added to make the directly selected beverages?
There is a graduated scale on the milk container to help you add the ideal quantity for the recipe. Remember that:
To close the milk container lid again:
- Insert the lid (the line on the lid must be aligned with the symbol).
- Turn the lid towards the symbol until it clicks in place.
Select the coffee strength or pre-ground coffee
Once the milk container has been prepared, before selecting the desired milk beverage, you can customize the coffee strength as described in paragraph “8.3 Varying the coffee strength”. Alternatively, you can select pre-ground coffee and then add one measure of coffee.
MEASURING WATER HARDNESS
The descaling alarm is displayed after a period of time established according to water hardness. The machine is set by default for a hardness value of “4”. The machine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the water supply in the various regions, so that descaling is required less often.
- Remove the indicator paper from its packaging. If provided with your model, you will find it attached to the Quick Guide.
- Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for about one second.
- Remove the strip from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares appear, depending on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one level.
Removing the filter
If you want to use the appliance without the filter, you must remove it and notify the appliance of its removal.
- Extract the water tank and the exhausted filter.
- See instructions in section “15. Settings menu” to set the machine.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
- To reduce energy consumption, after delivering one or more beverages, remove the milk container.
- Set auto-off to 15 minutes (see “15. Settings menu”);
- Enable Energy Saving (see “15. Settings menu”);
- Always carry out the descaling cycle when prompted by the machine.
Cleaning
