19 BREWING

CoffeeMake sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast ispreferable.In order to obtain a strong and aromatic espressocoffee, use special blends suitable for espresso

coffee machines and special cups with thick sides.Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermeticallysealed container.

Water qualityIn addition to blend, grind and water temperature,the water quality is of the utmost importance for thebrewing of a good coffee. Thus, the use of adecalcifier to remove limescale and eliminate any

unpleasant taste and organic impurities from water,is strongly recommended. Furthermore a waterdecalcifier partially eliminates limescale from water,thus protecting the machine heating system fromchemical buildup and prolonging its working life.The water tank must be emptied daily and filled withfresh water.

Operation time

The machine may be kept on all day long. However,it is advisable to activate the energy saving modeafter the last use. Press the Energy saving switch. If thetimer has been programmed, the machine switcheson automatically. See page 38.Should the machine not be used for a prolongedperiod (e.g. during the night) it is advisable to switchthe main switch (4) off.

Switching off the machineSwitch the machine off only after the coffee cycle hasbeen concluded.

Brewing

Cup level fillingThis machine allows the precise dosage of the coffee

quantity according to the cup dimension.

Descaling must be carried out at the latest when thismessage is displayed. In spite of the message, themachine does not stop working.Furthermore, said display warning may be adjustedaccording to the water hardness degree. The ma-

chine has been adjusted at the factory to 25

fHvalue, which causes the display to switch on showingthe message descaling after approx 150 l.The water hardness value may be changed, ifnecessary, following the instructions shown on page37.

The following adjustments are possible:Hardness 4: high water hardness, over 29fH (14dH), approx. 80 l water passage.

Hardness 3: medium water hardness, approx. 20-29fH (7-14 dH), approx. 150 l water passage

Hardness 2: soft water, approx. 12-20fH (4-7dH), approx. 300 l water passageHardness 1: less than 10fH (3 dH), approx. 500l water passageIn case of hard water, a filter should be used both toimprove the coffee quality and to protect the ma-chine, thus reducing the descaling frequency.

Note: for this purpose, use a descaling productsuitable for coffee machines. Never use vinegar toclean the machine; it might damage it.

There are two ways to carry out the descaling of themachine:

Automatic descalingSet the machine on the programming mode (see

page 3).

Move the asterisk to the menu item Descaling usingthe keys and press MENU to activate it.The display shows:

"DESCALING "

Pour a descaling solution into the water tank (accord-

ing to the instructions on the package). Place a largecontainer under the steam/hot water dispensingtube and open the steam/hot water knob slowly. The

automatic descaling starts. Small quantities ofdescaling solution are pumped into the circuit. Thenthe pump stops to let the solution take effect.The display shows:

"MACHINE IS ""DESCALING "

This operation takes about 45 minutes. As soon asdescaling is completed, the display shows:

"DECALING ""FINISHED "

and the pump stops.Turn the hot water off. Press the MENU' key. Thedisplay shows that the machine needs to be rinsed toclean any descaling remains.

"RINSE MACHINE ""FILL WATERTANK "

Remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with water.Clean the machine using the hot water knob and let

the whole tank content flow out. The display shows:

"RINSING ""FINISHED "

Turn the hot water off. Press the MENU' key. Themachine is now in the programming mode. Press theESC key. The machine is now in the normal mode.After being heated, the machine will be ready forcoffee dispensing.

N.B. The descaling process can be interrupted atany time using the MENU' key. Before that, how-ever, turn the hot water valve off.

Standard descalingSwitch off the machine. Pour a descaling pro-duct into the water tank (according to the instructionson the package). Place a large container under thesteam/hot water dispensing tube (7) and open thesteam/hot water knob (9) slowly, turning it

counterclockwise. Turn on the machine by pressingthe main switch and let the descaling product flowout of the dispensing tube for approx. 1 min.Turn off the machine with the main switch and let thesolution take effect for approx. 5 minutes. Repeat this

procedure two or three times, to allow all thedescaling product in the water tank to flow out of thedispensing tube. As soon as decalcification hasbeen carried out, rinse the water tank (11) thoroughlyand fill it with water.Switch on the machine again and let water (approx.2 l) flow out of the steam/hot water dispensing tubein order to rinse away residue.The coffee machine is now ready for operation.

ImportantA periodic descaling avoids expensive repairs. Themachine warranty does not cover damages occur-ring as a result of the non-observance of descalingprocedures, improper use and any other instructionscontained herein. Maintain the manufacturers ad-justment if the water hardness degree is not known.
