PROGRAMMING THE CLOCK

Place the coffee maker on a hard, flat surface.
Plug the power cable into a 220V-240V wall outlet.
When you plug in the coffee maker for the first time, 12:00 AM appears and blinks on the screen. Fig. 1. Set the hour by pressing the CLOCK button (O), then the HR button (L) for the hours and MIN (M) button for the minutes. The time appears. It is automatically confirmed after 5 seconds have elapsed or by pressing the CLOCK button (O).


Note: Your clock is now set and will continue to display the current time even when your appliance is in standby mode. If you want to set the time again, press the CLOCK (O) button and repeat the steps above. If the unit is unplugged or if there is a power failure, the clock will return to 12:00 AM. The above instructions must be repeated to program the clock again.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Remove the stickers from the machine.
Prior to first use, run your coffee maker without any coffee to rinse the circuit. Fill the water reservoir up to the maximum level and start a cycle by pressing on the ON/OFF button (J).
IMPORTANT: Your appliance has been designed to operate using only cold or warm water.

COFFEE PREPARATION

• Lift the coffee maker’s lid (B). Fig. 3.
  

• Fill the carafe (G) with cold or warm water. Pour water in the water tank (C) Fig. 4.
  

• The number of cups is indicated by marks on the carafe and by the water level indicator. Do not exceed 10-15 cups. Fig. 5.
  

• Place the carafe (G) with its lid (E)closed on the heated base (H) by ensuring that it is properly in place in order to activate the mechanism that allows the coffee to flow. Fig. 8.
  

• Make sure that the filter holder (I) is inserted. Fig. 6.
  
  Place the filter paper into the filter holder (I). Make sure that the filter paper is fully open and properly in place in the filter holder. Fig. 7.
  

• Should some ground coffee be inadvertently poured into the reservoir, refrain from starting the cycle and first clean the reservoir.

• The ground coffee could otherwise block the water circuit.

• Add 1 spoonful (P) of ground coffee per cup. Do not exceed 10 spoonfuls (70 g). Fig. 9.
  

• Close the lid (B).

• If the coffee maker is in standby, press any button to switch it on.

• Press the ON/OFF (J) button to start the cycle. The coffee maker beeps and the carafe symbol is displayed on the screen. Fig. 10.
  

• When the cycle is complete, the warm-up feature automatically turns on for 30 minutes. The carafe symbol remains on the display for the duration of the warm-up period.

• To stop the coffee maker during the cycle, press the ON/OFF button (J). Please note:

• The quantity of coffee in the carafe at the end of the cycle is less than the quantity of water poured into the reservoir, since the ground coffee and the filter absorb approximately 10% of it.

• The reservoir is equipped with an overflow opening at the back of the appliance. If you add too much water, it will come out of this opening.

OTHER FUNCTIONS

DELAYED START (PROG)

Setting the time of the Delayed Start

• Your appliance features a delayed start program.

  The time setting is automatically confirmed after approximately 5 seconds or by pressing the PROG button (K). Fig. 13.
  

• Your coffee maker will start automatically at the programmed time. You can view the programmed time at any time by pressing the PROG button (K).

• To cancel the delayed start, hold down the PROG (K) button for 3 seconds.
  PRE-INFUSION MODE – AROMA FUNCTION

• Please note: The AROMA function gets the most from the coffee flavours thanks to the grind pre-infusion phase.

• Press the AROMA (N) button before starting the coffee cycle to start the PRE-INFUSION mode.

• To cancel the PRE-INFUSION mode, press the AROMA (N) button again.

CLEANING

• To remove the used grounds, remove the filter and filter holder from the coffee maker. Fig. 15a.

• Discard the coffee grounds and the filter paper. Fig. 15b.
  

• Do not clean the appliance if it is still hot.

• Wash the removable filter holder using hot soapy water.
  CAUTION: Do not put the parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.

• Clean the coffee maker using a damp soft cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive or strong products on any part of your coffee maker.

• To clean the stainless steel parts of your coffee maker, moisten a soft cloth or sponge with hot water. Wipe them well using a dry cloth.

• For stubborn stains, use a cloth with some white vinegar.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or under the tap.

DESCALING

Why is descaling important?

• Limescale builds up naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling helps to protect the coffee maker, ensure a longer service life and consistently high-quality coffee over time. Limescale may permanently alter the appliance’s performance.

When is it time to descale?

• The frequency of descaling depends on water hardness and the number of coffee cycles. When users observe signs such as extended cycle lengths, intense boil-off, loud noise levels at the end of the cycle or stoppage during a cycle, this means your machine requires descaling.
• Descaling the coffee maker must be performed approximately once a month, depending on the water hardness.

How to descale your coffee maker

• Use a descaling solution or 0.5 L of white vinegar diluted in 0.5 L of cold or warm water. Fig. 16.
  

• Pour the solution into the water tank. Fig. 17.
  

• Do not put any coffee in the filter and press the ON/OFF button (J) to start the descaling cycle. Fig. 18.
  

• Please wait until the end of the cycle.

• To rinse the machine, start 2 complete 10-cup cycles with water, but without coffee.

• Repeat the operation as needed.

• The guarantee does not cover coffee makers that are inoperative or which run badly due to a lack of descaling.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

Some ground coffee has become embedded between the filter paper and the filter holder.
The filter paper is not open enough or is incorrectly positioned.
Rinse the filter holder before inserting the filter paper so that the latter adheres to the damp sides of the filter holder.

The coffee flow system may be blocked. You can clean it by simply rinsing it with water.
