When water comes out of the turbo steam nozzle (9), move the hot water electro pump switch lever (3) to position “0” and close the knob (7). These operations are carried out to ensure the correct filling of the boiler.
Use the group head lever (17) to dispense enough water to fill the coffee circuit correctly.
After completing these operations, wait for the machine to reach the operating temperature and the indicator light (15) to come on.
N. B.: The operating temperature light (15) will continue to switch on and off automatically during heating.
Once the operating temperature has been reached, dispense water from the group head for about 10 seconds, keeping the filter holder inserted.
This operation optimizes the group head temperatures.

USING THE MACHINE

PRETREATMENT

Once you have carried out the operations described in the previous chapter, the machine is ready for Pretreatment.
Rinse the tank thoroughly with cold water.
Fill the tank with cold water and place the tank in the machine.
Place a bowl with a capacity of 1.5l under the E61 group head.
Dispense water for 1 minute with the filter holder fitted.
Fill the tank with cold water if necessary.
Place the bowl with a capacity of 1.5l under the steam nozzle.
Use the switch to turn on the electric pump.
Turn the steam nozzle knob.
Dispense for 1 minute.
Carry out the operations described 3 times.

PREPARING AND DISPENSING COFFEE

Once you have carried out the operations described in the previous paragraph, the machine is ready for use.
Do not cover the cup-warming shelf with fabrics, felt, etc.
Select the desired filter and filter holder depending on whether you want to prepare a single coffee or a double coffee.
Fill the filter with the required amount of coffee for 1 or 2 cups (7 g – 16 g) according to the filter selected (22-23).
Level the coffee and compact it using the tamper (20). 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 (10), 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 (17). The coffee is dispensed by moving the group head lever (10) located on the control panel upwards.
Once the required amount of coffee has been dispensed, move the group head lever (10) down to stop delivery.
To dispense additional cups of coffee, remove the filter holder (10) from the group head 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 nozzle when the machine is in operation and, to avoid possible scalding, do not place your hands under the group heads or nozzle during delivery.
When the machine is new, the filter holder may not be aligned (perpendicular to the machine) as shown in Figure 1. This, however, 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.
- G = Position of the closed filter holder when the machine is new
- H = Position of the closed filter holder after the machine has been in use for a short time.

GOOD COFFEE TIPS

We recommend that you grind the coffee beans with a grinder immediately before making the coffee since the coffee quickly loses its aroma after it has been ground.
Make sure that the dose of ground coffee and its pressure are always consistent.
Optimal results are obtained by a pre-infusion of about 5 seconds before the coffee extraction begins.
If the quantity and degree of grinding are correct:
- The correct amount of coffee in the cup for a single espresso should be 25-30 ml in 25-30 seconds. For a double espresso: 50-60 ml in 20-30 seconds.
- the coffee must be dark brown or hazelnut in color
- the pressure, visible on the pressure gauge(.), should be 8/9 bar.
If the dispensing flow is too fast (<25s, pressure <8 bar), you will get light, watery coffee with no froth. It is advisable to adjust for a finer ground while keeping the amount consistent.
If the flow is too slow (>30s, pressure 9 bar), you will get dark coffee, with very little froth. It is advisable to adjust for a coarser ground while keeping the amount consistent.
Warm cups help maintain the coffee at the right temperature. We therefore recommend that before using them, you place the cups on the cup warmer shelf (3), which is warmed by the heat from the boiler.

DISPENSING HOT WATER

Caution: check that the steam switch (2) is in the OFF position.

Place a container under the nozzle (9) and turn the water knob (7) anticlockwise to dispense hot water.
Turn on the hot water switch (3) to start dispensing.
When you have enough hot water, turn off the switch (3) and turn the water knob (7) clockwise to stop delivery.
We recommend that you dispense a maximum of 200 ml of water.

DISPENSING STEAM

When the machine is ready to dispense coffee, direct the steam nozzle towards the drip tray (12) and open the water/steam knob (7) for a few seconds to remove any residual water from the steam nozzle. After a few seconds, only steam will come out.
Close the water/steam knob (7).
Turn on the steam lever switch (2); the steam ready light will come on (16).
When the machine ready light (15) comes on, it will be ready to dispense steam.
Place the liquid to be prepared in a container, immerse the nozzle (9) into the liquid, and slowly turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise. The amount of steam delivered is proportional to how much you turn the knob. The more you open it, the greater will be the amount of steam delivered.
When the required amount has been dispensed, turn the knob clockwise to stop delivery. Remove the container and clean the steam nozzle with a damp cloth.

To froth milk for a cappuccino:

Place some cold milk into a container
Place the container with milk under steam nozzle (9) then immerse it a few millimetres into the milk.
Turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise and slowly move the container upwards to obtain a creamier froth.
Once the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the frothing nozzle completely and heat the milk.
Stop the steam by turning the steam knob (7) clockwise.
- The danger of burns! Spurts of hot water may be ejected when you first start to dispense steam. The nozzle can become extremely hot. Do not touch it directly with your hands.
Once the milk has been frothed, turn the steam knob clockwise to stop dispensing steam and remove the container.
After heating the liquid, it is recommended that you purge the steam pipe by turning the knob for a few seconds.
Move the steam lever switch (2) to the “OFF” position.
To prepare a coffee, you must:
- switch on the electric pump (3);
- position a container under the steam nozzle (9);
- turn the steam/hot water knob (7) anticlockwise;
- once the water comes out, turn the steam/hot water knob (7) clockwise, and turn the electric pump activation switch (3) to OFF.

N. B.: to prepare another coffee, fill the boiler with water and bring the machine to the correct operating temperature. Otherwise, the coffee may have a burnt taste. Place an empty cup on the grid (8). Do not insert the filter holder. Fill the cup with water by lowering the coffee dispenser lever (17). When the cup is full, stop dispensing.

Once the operating temperature light (15) comes on, you can prepare another coffee.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS
Danger of electrocution.

Unplug the coffee machine before cleaning it.
This appliance must not be immersed in water for cleaning.
Let the coffee machine cool down before cleaning. Risk of damage to surfaces.
Do not use steam jets to clean the coffee machine.
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia, or bleach on parts with metal surface finishes (e.g. anodized, nickel- or chrome-plated).
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products, stain removers, and metallic scourers).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

CLEANING THE STEAM/HOT WATER NOZZLES

To avoid altering the taste of the drinks to be heated and to prevent the holes at the end of the nozzles from becoming clogged, clean thoroughly with a damp cloth after each use and dispense a small amount of steam.

CLEANING THE GROUP HEAD AND SHOWER SCREENS

Remove the filter holder from the group head and clean the group’s gasket using the brush (25) provided.
Place the blind filter (24) provided into the filter holder (19).
Add a spoonful of coffee machine cleaning powder and insert the filter holder into the group head.
Use the group head control lever (7) to start dispensing; stop dispensing after approximately 15-20 seconds.
Repeat the operation ten times to remove coffee and limescale deposits.
Remove the blind filter (24) and start dispensing several times to rinse the group head and eliminate any residues from the shower screens and the group head.
If the machine has not been used for a long time, we recommend that you allow water to flow out from the group head to remove any deposits.

CLEANING THE FILTERS AND FILTER HOLDERS

Remove the filters (22-23) from the filter holders (19) and soak them in a solution of boiling water (1L) with four teaspoons of coffee machine cleaner, using a suitable container.
Leave them to soak for 20-30 minutes; rinse thoroughly under running water and check that the holes in the filters are not clogged.

CLEANING THE LOWER DRIP TRAY

Remove the grid (8) and the drip tray (12). Remove any coffee residue from it using a damp cloth.
Dry the components and reassemble them on the machine.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE

To keep the outer surface of the coffee machine in good condition, it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let the appliance cool down first. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.

CLEANING THE TANK

Clean the water tank (4) once a month using a damp cloth and mild detergent.

REPLACING THE GROUP HEAD GASKET (FIG. 2)

If coffee leaks from around the edges of the filter holder (l) when it is dispensed, it may be due to an obstruction in the delivery hole of the filter holder, in which case the hole should be cleaned.
If the problem persists or if the filter holder moves significantly beyond the center of the group head when it is being fitted, the group head gasket should be replaced.

To replace it, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the machine is switched off and disconnect the power cable.
Remove the gasket (H) and the shower screen (G), using a flat screwdriver as a lever.
After having removed the gasket and shower screen, clean the seat properly before installing the new components.
Once the new components have been installed, insert the filter holder, without the filter, into the group head and move it to seat the gasket.
