4–2. INSTALLING COMPONENTS
• Place the grid (8) on the base of the
product, making sure that the notch
faces towards the body of the machine.
• Screw the knob onto the lever by
turning it clockwise.
4–3. STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
• Unscrew the boiler cap (3) by turning it
anticlockwise.
• Prepare a solution of water and two
teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda in
a container. Wait for the bicarbonate
of soda to dissolve completely; then
pour the solution into the boiler
(9). Alternatively, instead of using
bicarbonate of soda, prepare a
solution of water with one tablespoon
of white vinegar in a container and
pour it into the boiler.
• Make sure that the lever (1) is down; if
necessary pull it down fully.
• Screw the boiler cap (3) onto the boiler
by turning it clockwise and make sure
that the cap and the steam knob (4) are
properly closed.
• Place the filter holder (10) into the
group head (11) and secure it by
moving it from right to left.
• Insert the power plug into an electric
socket having a suitable voltage.
• Place the switch (6) to ON and wait
for the machine to reach the required
pressure (approximately 5 minutes).
• Place a container under the group
head (11) and slowly lift the lever (1)
until it is fully raised. Hold it in this
position in order to discharge all the
water contained in the boiler.
• Next, switch the machine off and
remove the plug from the power
outlet. Turn the steam knob (4)
anticlockwise and wait until all the
steam has been discharged from the
steam pipe (12).
• Fill the boiler again with clean water
and rinse the inside of the machine
to eliminate any residues left by the
solution.

The water should not exceed
the top of the level glass (5) and
should not fall below the lower

discharge the "false pressure" caused
by air left in the boiler. Then close it by
turning it clockwise. The indicator light
comes back on, wait for it to switch off.
• The machine has now reached the
correct pressure and is ready to
dispense coffee and steam.
