every dispensing operation, it
is advised to release the lter-
holder and clean the coffee
residues from the lter.
Setting the quantity of coffee
The quantity of coffee dispensed can be
customised for every function.
To modify the quantity of coffee dispensed
by the machine:
• Position a small or large cup under the
dispenser (2).
• Press one of the keys relevant to the
beverage to be dispensed (20) or (21)
for at least 3 seconds, until the LED of
the relative button remains on.
• On reaching the desired quantity, stop
dispensing by pressing the key again.
• The length has been set and is stored
permanently.
3.4 Dispensing steam and
preparing a cappuccino (Fig.
H and I)
• Press the key (22), which starts to ash.
Wait for the key to have a xed light,
which indicates that the correct steam
dispensing temperature has been
reached.
• When the LED (22) has a xed light,
position an empty recipient under the
steam wand (7) and turn the steam
knob (8) anti-clockwise to discharge
any water present and then close the
knob.
• Fill a container with 100 ml of cold milk,
for every cappuccino to be prepared.
• Position the container with milk under
the milk frothing wand (7), positioning
the tip of the frothing wand in contact
with the milk.
• Turn the steam knob (8) anti-clockwise
to dispense the steam.
• Successively, introduce the steam wand
into the milk, creating a vortex with the
container of milk.
• Once the ideal temperature has been
reached, stop dispensing by turning the
steam knob (8) clockwise.
• Pour the frothy milk into the cups with
the previously-prepared espresso.
• To make several cappuccinos,
rst prepare all the coffees
and then froth the milk for all
of them together.
• At the end of the operation,
clean the steam wand (7)
immediately using a damp
cloth.

• Discharge any milk residues
by turning the steam knob to
let the steam out.
• Do not dispense steam for
longer than 60 seconds max.
• After heating the milk, the
internal part of the steam
wand (7) must be cleaned by
dispensing steam for a few
seconds.
• Clean the steam wand
(7) every time it is used,
to prevent the deposit of
milk residues or clogging.
For complete cleaning of
the steam wand, see the
“Cleaning and Maintenance”
paragraph.
The drip tray (6) can be removed
if tall cups are used.
The result of the steam
function can be affected by the
ingredients used. To obtain a
good cappuccino, we recommend
using semi-skimmed or full-fat
milk at fridge temperature (about
5°C).
To prevent obtaining milk with
not much froth or large bubbles,
always clean the steam wand
as described in paragraph “4
Cleaning and maintenance”.
How to cool the heating element (Fig. H)
When the temperature of the
heating element is too high to
dispense coffee, buttons (20)
and (21) ash alternately.
The heating element must be cooled down
if you wish to prepare a coffee immediately
after frothing milk.
If the heating element is not cooled down,
the coffee dispensed will taste burned.
To cool it quickly, proceed as follows:
• Position a container underneath the
steam wand (7) and turn the steam
knob (8) anti-clockwise to dispense hot
water.
• The steam wand (7) will initially dispense
steam. Burns hazard. Successively, hot
water will be dispensed. This means
that the heating element has reached
the correct temperature to dispense
coffee.
• Turn the steam knob (8) clockwise and
prepare the coffee.
3.5 Dispensing hot water (Fig.
H)
• Turn the machine on using the ON/
OFF switch and wait until the coffee
dispensing LEDs have a xed light.
• Position a recipient under the steam
wand (7).
• Turn the steam knob (8) anti-clockwise
and dispense hot water.
• Stop dispensing by turning the steam
knob (8) clockwise.

4.2 Cleaning the coffee machine
body
To keep the external surfaces in good
condition, they must be cleaned regularly
after all use and when they have cooled
down. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
4.3 Cleaning the coffee machine
components
Cleaning the drip tray (Fig. I)
The drip tray (6) is equipped with a red
oat (5) which projects from the cup holder
tray when the maximum liquid level is
exceeded.
• Remove the cup holder tray (4) and then
remove the drip tray (6) to empty it.
• Clean the drip tray (6) with a cloth and
then re-position it together with the cup
holder tray (4).
• Dry components and reassemble in the

4.4 Descaling
The coffee machine needs descaling when
the orange LED on the key (steam) ashes.
The warning will be displayed every time the
machine exits the stand-by status, until the
descaling procedure is performed.
Proceed as follows to run the descaling cycle:
• Empty the water tank (11) completely
and remove the water softening lter (if
present).
• Fill the water tank (11) up to MAX
with a solution of water and descaler
following the doses recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Remove the lter holder (3) and position a
container under the dispenser (2) and the
steam wand (7).
• Turn the machine on by pressing the ON/
OFF button.
• As soon as the machine is ready, hold the
key (22) down for 10 seconds until the
orange LED has a xed light.
• Turn the steam knob (8) anti-clockwise.
• Press the key (22) to start descaling, the
key (22) starts to ash.
• The descaling cycle automatically performs
a series of rinse cycles at intervals to
remove lime scale from the inside of the
coffee machine, continuing until the tank
(11) is empty.
• The descaling cycle stops and the white
LED (22) switches on.
• Remove the water tank (11), empty it and
rinse it out.
• Fill the tank (11) with water to the
maximum level mark and insert it into its
housing.
• Position an empty container under the
steam wand (7), an empty container under
the dispensing unit (2) and check that the
steam knob (8) is horizontal.
• Press the steam key (22) again to start the
rinse cycle.
• When the tank (11) is empty, it means that
the rinse cycle has ended and the machine
goes back to ready status.
• Turn the steam knob (8) clockwise.
Personal injury hazard.
• The descaler contains acids
that can irritate the skin and
eyes.
• Follow the manufacturer's
instructions and safety
warnings on the packet
scrupulously in the event of
contact with skin or eyes.
• Use descaler products
recommended by Smeg to
prevent damage to the coffee
machine.
