The operating instructions may refer to different models. Any difference is clearly identified.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always comply with the following safety measures when using an electrical appliance.

• Read the Instruction Book carefully.

• Never immerse the machine or its removable components in water and never put it in a dishwasher.

• This appliance was designed for household use only. Any other use shall be considered improper and consequently dangerous.

• Remove the plug from the electrical system when the appliance is not in use.

• Never touch a hot surface. You could scald yourself with water or coffee from the machine.

• This machine was designed “to make espresso coffee”: take care you don’t scald yourself with water jets or due to improper use.

• This appliance was not designed to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or persons lacking experience and/or familiarity with the product, unless they are supervised or instructed on the use of the  appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Supervise children to prevent them from playing with the appliance.

• Only use the appliance in closed areas protected from the external environment.

• Never immerse the cord, plug and body of the machine in water or any other liquid to avoid fire, electric shocks or injuries.

• Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

• Do not put the appliance on gas/electric cookers or inside a hot oven.

• Operate the appliance only for the time needed to perform its function. Then switch it off by setting the main switch (10) to “0” and unplugging it from the power outlet.

• Before unplugging it, make sure the main switch (10) is on “0”.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter top. Do not pull the cord to unplug the appliance and do not touch it with wet hands.

• Do not drag or carry the machine by holding its cord.

• Make sure the cord does not hang over the edge of a table or counter top because children could pull it or accidentally stumble on it and get injured.

• Do not use the appliance if the cord or plug looks damaged, after the machine has malfunctioned or if any damage has occurred. Take the appliance to an authorised Service Centre to have it checked or repaired or to make sure it is working properly.

• Do not use extension cords or multiple outlets. In case of fire use carbon-dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers. Do not use water or powder extinguishers.

• Never block the air grilles located in the bottom and back of the appliance.

• Use the appliance only for its intended purpose.

• Never install the machine in an environment whose temperature may be either 0°C or lower – if the water freezes, the appliance can get damaged – or higher than 40°C.

• Make sure the voltage of the electrical system matches the voltage shown on the data plate of the appliance (4). Connect the appliance only to a power outlet having a minimum capacity of 6 A in 230VAC-powered models and an efficient earthing system.

COFFEE MACHINE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION (A)
Before connecting the machine to the electrical system, carefully read the safety regulations in the “Important Safety Precautions” chapter.
**A1** Carefully pull out the water tank (9).
**A2** Fill the tank with fresh drinkable water up to the MAX mark.
Only fill the tank with fresh drinkable still water. Warm water and other liquids may damage the tank. Do not operate the machine without water. Regularly replace the water in the tank.
**A3** Insert the tank into the machine all the way.
Connect the plug into a power outlet. See the following chapter on how to start the machine.
**A4** Make sure the coffee-capsule compartment (2) is properly closed before coffee delivery.
Never open during coffee delivery.
When you start the machine for the first time or after the machine has not been used for several days, we recommend placing a container with a suitable capacity under the delivery unit (3) and then pouring out at least half a tank of water with no capsules in the machine.

SWITCHING THE MACHINE ON / OFF (B)

Start to machine as follows:
Check the water level in the tank (9). If needed, fill it up as described above.
**B1** Set the main switch (10) to the “I” position.
Buttons 5.1 and 5.2 will repeatedly light up progressively from left to right to show that the machine has started heating up.
**B2** Place the cup on the cup holder.
**B3** Wait for buttons 5.1 and 5.2 to light up (fixed light) – a buzzer sounds to show that the proper operating temperature has been reached.
**B4** Touch button 5.1.
Wait for coffee to come out of the delivery unit.
The delivery will stop automatically as soon as the set quantity of water has been poured out.
You can also stop it by touching the button panel again.
While heating up, the machine does not allow any coffee delivery if buttons 5.1 and 5.2 are off or flashing.
Power-Save mode
The machine was designed to respect the environment and reduce power consumption when not in use. It automatically enters into Power-Save mode if it has not been used for 60 minutes.
Button 5.1 will start flashing slowly.
To start the machine again, touch one of the two buttons.

Before switching off the machine, we recommend pouring out a cup of hot water with no capsules in the capsule compartment (2).
To switch it off set the main switch (10) to the “0” position. We recommend that you never unplug the machine while it is on.

POSITIONING THE CUP HOLDER (C)

The machine was designed to use both espresso cups and mugs.
**C1** To adjust the height of the cup holder (7), pull it out and then place it in the espresso cup or mug position.
**C2** Optimum position for mugs as suitable for lungo coffees.
**C3** Optimum position for cups as suitable for espresso coffees.
Adjust the height of the cup holder (7) before starting coffee delivery.

COFFEE MAKING (D)
**D1** This machine was designed to use only “Iperespresso” illy coffee capsules.
Do not use other coffee capsules because they may damage the machine.
**D2** Make sure buttons 5.1 and 5.2 are lit (fixed light).
**D3** Release and lift the opening lever (1) of the capsule compartment (2).
If there is a coffee capsule in the compartment (2), it will be automatically removed as soon as the compartment is opened. If the coffee capsule does not fit into the compartment easily, remove it and replace it correctly.
**D4** Insert the coffee capsule as shown in the Figure.
**D5** Lower the movable section of the machine head completely.
**D6** Press the lever (1) until it locks in place and put the cup on the cup holder (7).
**D7** Touch one button:
– button 5.1 for espresso coffee delivery.
– button 5.2 for lungo coffee delivery.

The delivery will stop automatically as soon as the set volume is reached in the cup.
The quantity of coffee poured out by each button was determined after carefully considering the requirements of most users. To adjust the coffee delivery by the different buttons based on your own taste just follow the instructions in the next paragraph.

The capsules are single-dose and should not be used to make two coffees.
Remember to clean the drip tray (8) and to empty the used-capsule tray (6). Remember to replace the water in the tank on a regular basis.

ADJUSTING THE QUANTITY OF COFFEE IN THE CUP

The machine allows you to adjust the desired quantity/volume of coffee in a small illy cup with delivery button 5.1 and in a cappuccino cup with delivery button 5.2.
We will only see how you can set button 5.1. To set button 5.2 just follow the same procedure, but press button 5.2 and use a properly-sized cup.
To adjust and store in memory a custom quantity of coffee, the procedure is the following:

• Insert one capsule in the compartment (2).
• Place one cup on the cup holder (7).
• Touch button 5.1 and hold it down until you get the desired quantity of coffee. Then release the button. The machine has been set – when you press button 5.1 next it will pour out the set quantity. This setting will replace any factory settings.

MANUAL STOP FUNCTION

Press the selected button to stop coffee delivery before it stops automatically.
Coffee delivery will stop automatically after no more than 70 seconds anyway.
In such a case some coffee may spill out of the cup.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (E)

• Before unplugging the appliance, make sure the main switch (10) is on “0”.

• Disconnect the plug from the electrical system when cleaning the machine.

• Let the machine cool down before cleaning it.

• To extract the water tank (9) carefully pull it upwards and then outwardly.

• Clean the appliance and attachments using a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry nonabrasive cloth.
  Detergents should not be used.

• Do not wash the appliance with abundant jets of water and do not completely or partly immerse it.

Clean the machine and its components at least on a weekly basis.
Do not use any water that has remained in the tank (9) for a few days. Wash it and fill it up every day with fresh drinkable water. Do not use ethyl alcohol, solvents, abrasive sponges and/or aggressive chemicals.
Clean the machine as follows:
**E1** Switch off and unplug the machine.
**E2** Pull out the tank (9) and wash it under running water.
**E3** Pull out the drip tray (8) and wash it with warm water.
**E4** Pull out from the front the used-capsule tray (6).
**E5** Empty it of any remains.

The drawer includes the used capsules and remaining liquids.
When you re-place the used-capsule tray (6), make sure it is properly inserted.
We recommend emptying the drip tray (8) and used-capsule tray (6) at the same time.
Do not dry the machine and/or its components in a conventional and/or microwave oven.

RECOMMENDATIONS

To enjoy a high-quality espresso remember to:

• Change the water in the tank (10) at least on a weekly basis.
• Preferably use water whose total hardness is lower than 12 French degrees to minimise any deposit inside the machine.
• Don’t use distilled water.
• Use warm cups.

LIMESCALE REMOVAL (F)
The formation of limescale is a natural consequence of using the machine.
Limescale removal makes it possible to optimize any cleaning work and to remove all limescale remains from inside the machine.

If limescale is not removed, it may cause operating defects that are not covered by the warranty. We recommend using a descaling product specifically developed for espresso machines at least every two months.
Only use descaling products that are not too aggressive.
Descaling products for coffee machines that are neither toxic nor harmful are commonly available on the market.
The reduced illumination of buttons 5.1 and 5.2 every 10 seconds shows the need for a descaling cycle.
Remove the limescale from the machine as follows:

• Make sure the main switch (10) is on “0”.

• Make sure there are no capsules in the capsule compartment (2).

• Remove the tank (9) and dispose of any remaining water.

• Fill the tank up with 0.7 litres of fresh drinkable water.
  F1 Add the descaling product and wait for it to melt – mix to speed up melting.

• Insert the tank (9) into the machine until it is properly in place.
  **F2** Place a container having a capacity of at least 1 litre under the delivery unit (3).
  The descaling cycle can now be started.
  **F3** Switch on the machine.

• Within 15 seconds press button 5.1 and hold it down for 7 seconds until a buzzer sounds.

• Button 5.1 will start flashing alternately.

• Within 5 seconds press button 5.1 again – a buzzer will sound.

• Button 5.1 stays lit.

• Press button 5.1 again within 5 seconds.

Now the machine will start delivering the water and descaling product solution.
If the operations are not performed within the times stated, the descaling cycle will not begin. You will need to switch the machine off and repeat operations 1 to 6.

• During the process button 5.1 will be flashing alternately for about 10 minutes.

• Once the water and descaling product solution is finished, button 5.1 will stay lit.
  Now rinse the circuit to remove any remains of descaling product:

• Pull out the water tank (9) and empty it of any remaining water with descaling product.

**F4** Carefully wash it under running water and fill it up with fresh drinkable water.

To rinse the circuit do not use the water and descaling product solution that flowed into the container during the descaling process.

• Insert the tank (9) all the way into the machine until it is properly in place.

**F5** Empty the container and re-place it under the delivery unit (3).
Button 5.2 stays lit.
**F6** To start rinsing the circuit press button 5.2.
The machine carries out the rinsing cycle for about 5 minutes supplying water at regular intervals.
Button 5.2 will start flashing alternately.
When the rinsing cycle is over, buttons 5.1 and 5.2 light up (fixed light) and a buzzer sounds to confirm that the machine is ready for use.

Do not use vinegar, lye, salt or formic acid because they will damage the machine.
Only use descaling products suitable for coffee machines.
Dispose of the descaling solution in compliance with current regulations.
Do not drink the liquid supplied during the descaling process. The machine can be used to make coffee only when the descaling process is over.
If the descaling cycle is interrupted due to a power failure or because the machine is accidentally switched off, repeat the entire cycle before using the machine again.
