Danger of Burns: Do not touch hot parts (capsule holder group, etc.) immediately after use. During beverage dispensing, be cautious of potential splashes of hot liquid. Never lift the capsule loading lever during dispensing.

Cleaning: Before cleaning, unplug the machine and wait for it to cool down. Never immerse the machine in water! It is strictly forbidden to attempt any interventions inside the machine. Do not use water from the tank for the supply. Do not use detergents, solvents, alcohol, or aggressive substances. Do not wash the machine with high-pressure water. Unless otherwise specified, all non-removable components (excluding electrical components) should be washed using cold or lukewarm water and non-abrasive sponges or cloths.

Machine Storage: When the machine is unused for a prolonged period, unplug it and store it in a dry place out of reach of children. Protect the machine from dust and dirt.

Repairs / Maintenance: In case of breakdowns, defects, or suspected defects after a fall, unplug the machine immediately. Do not operate a defective machine.

Water Tank: Fill the tank only with fresh, non-carbonated potable water. Do not operate the machine if the water level is below the minimum indicated on the tank.

Capsule Compartment: Only compatible capsules must be inserted into the capsule compartment; do not insert fingers or any other object. Capsules should only be used once.

Disposal of the Machine at the End of its Useful Life: The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the appliance or its packaging indicates that at the end of its life cycle, this product must be treated separately from other waste. The user must therefore return it to a specialized collection center for electronic and electrical waste, or hand it over to the retailer when purchasing a new appliance of the same type. Selective collection for sending the old appliance to a specialized recycling, treatment, and disposal center helps to preserve the environment and avoid negative effects on the environment and human health, and promotes the recycling and reuse of the materials the appliance is made of. Abusive disposal of the product by the user implies the application of administrative sanctions provided for by current regulations.

In all these cases, the warranty will be automatically void.

Starting the Machine:

1. Place the machine on a flat, horizontal, and stable surface, away from water sources, flames, or heat sources.
2. If the power supply is connected, unplug it. The machine must never be covered with a cloth or anything else while it is on.
3. Lift the water tank and open the lid.
4. Fill the water tank up to the MAX level, using only fresh, non-carbonated potable water. The water level must never exceed the MAX level and must always be maintained above the MIN level. Do not use hot water or other liquids as they may damage the tank. Never operate the machine without water. Always ensure the water in the tank is above the indicated MIN level.
5. Insert the power plug into the socket and then flip the main switch to the I position. The indicator light on the dispensing button will flash. When this light is steady, the machine is ready for use.

When the machine is switched on, it activates the pump for a brief moment to fill the hydraulic circuit.

Coffee Preparation

Coffee Dispensing: The machine is not in service until it reaches operating temperature. The indicator light on the dispensing button flashes during the heating cycle. The machine is ready for use when the lever is in the resting position and the dispensing button light is steady.

1. Place the cup/small cup under the coffee spout.
2. Lift the capsule loading lever and insert the capsule into the designated space with light pressure.
3. Lower the capsule loading lever.
4. The machine has a free dispensing coffee button. Press the Espresso dispensing button. The button's indicator light flashes while the coffee is dispensing.

Important: Never insert fingers or any other object into the capsule insertion receptacle. Only insert compatible capsules. Never lift the capsule loading lever during dispensing.

To interrupt dispensing when the desired quantity is reached (max 120cc), press the coffee dispensing button again.

If the dispensed quantity is less than desired, turn the machine off and then on again using the main switch. At this stage, press the dispensing button to dispense more coffee.

STAND-BY: After 30 minutes of inactivity, the machine enters stand-by mode, and the free dispensing button flashes. To reactivate the machine, press the dispensing button or open the capsule insertion lever.

Using different cup sizes: To use bowls, cups, and containers of different sizes, remove the upper drip tray.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Important: Before any cleaning operation, ensure the power supply is disconnected and wait for the machine to cool down.

We recommend rinsing the water tank daily and refilling it with fresh water. Do not leave water in the circuit for more than 3 days; otherwise, dispense water (without a capsule) before dispensing coffee. Empty and clean the drip tray every two/three days, or as soon as it is full. Do not use microwave or conventional ovens to dry the machine or its parts. Never use alkaline detergents, solvents, alcohol, or aggressive substances. Do not immerse the machine in water. Do not wash the machine with high-pressure water.

Cleaning the Coffee Dispensing Spout: Perform the COFFEE DISPENSING procedure once a week without inserting a capsule.

Cleaning the Drip Tray and Used Capsule Zone:

1. Extract the used drip tray/capsule drawer.
2. Remove the internal capsule collection tray to dispose of used capsules.

Periodically check that the capsule drawer is not full to prevent malfunctions and damage to the machine.

Clean the lower and upper drip trays and the cup rack. To do this, separate the components, wash them under cold or lukewarm water, then dry them and put them back in place correctly.

DECALCIFICATION: Limescale formation is a normal consequence of appliance use; it is necessary to decalcify every 3-4 months of use, or as soon as a reduction in water flow is observed.

For descaling, use a non-toxic, non-harmful descaling product for coffee machines, compliant with current standards, commonly found on the market. Never use vinegar as a descaler. Do not drink and prevent anyone from drinking the descaling solution. Risk of burns, as the descaling solution exits the machine at a high temperature.

1. Empty the tank and fill it with a descaling solution and water, as specified on the descaling product packaging. Turn on the machine and place a container under the dispenser.
2. Press the coffee dispensing button and fill a cup.
3. Turn off the machine, let it rest for 10-15 minutes, and repeat steps [2] and [3] until the tank is empty.
4. Remove the tank. Wash it and fill it with fresh potable water, replace it, and place a container under the dispenser.
5. Wait for the machine to heat up, then press the coffee dispensing button until the tank is empty.
6. Repeat steps [4] and [5]. If the descaling product instructions specify a quantity greater than two tanks for rinsing, repeat steps [4] and [5] again.
