Make sure the variable steam knob is closed by turning clockwise (don’t  
overtighten).  
Lift the lid, then lift out the tank and fill with cold water. Never fill above the  
“MAX” level marked. Alternatively lift the lid and fill the tank whilst in position.  
We recommend using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces  
limescale. Never use fizzy water or any other liquid.  
Re fit the tank. Make sure that it is correctly located and apply light pressure if  
necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the  
bottom of the machine.

around the rim.  
When buying ground coffee make sure it is suitable for espresso machines.  
Never press the coffee too firmly as it will block the filter and the coffee will  
come out very slowly and the crema will be of a dark colour. However, if it is  
pressed too lightly, the coffee will come out too fast and the crema will be a  
light colour and the coffee will taste watery.  
Fit the filter holder. Make sure that the tab on the filter fits into the slot on the  
filter holder.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste.  
It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to  
a dealer providing this service.  
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative  
consequences for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal  
and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings  
in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household  
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

descaling  
G
It is advisable to discale the coffee maker after 200 cups of coffee have been

Repairs caused by malfunctioning due to a build up of limescale in the product  
are not covered by the guarantee if the descaling process is not carried out  
regularly.
