STARTING THE MACHINE

Warning! Set the machine on a flat, stable surface, far away from water or heat sources. Do not connect the machine to the mains supply. Damage caused by failure to apply these instructions will void the guarantee.

1. Rinse the tank before use. Fill the water tank only with fresh, non-carbonated drinking water. The cover can be lifted to fill the tank directly.

Note: The use of a water filter (an optional accessory) improves water quality and prolongs machine life. Only use products specifically for coffee machines, commonly available on the market and in compliance with current pertinent standards. In order to insert the filter, follow the instruction sheet which comes with the accessory. Change the filter at the intervals indicated on the filter instructions sheet.

Warning! The water level should never exceed the MAX indication and it must always be maintained above MIN. Only use non-carbonated fresh water. Hot water and other liquids can damage the tank.

Warning! Make sure that the hands, the machine, the cord and the support surface of the machine are not wet.

2. Insert the plug into the socket.

3. Press one of the switch-on/supply buttons to switch the machine on.

4. The coffee machine starts the heating cycle. The switch-on/supply buttons will start blinking to a light white.

5. The machine will be ready for use when the switch-on/ supply buttons light up to a steady white light white light.

6. Place a glass below the dispensing spout. Press the LUNGO supply button and wait for water to be supplied.

Warning! In case water is not supplied, repeat the cycle several times (up to six times max.).

7. Empty the full tank by performing again the dispensing cycles to end the rinsing procedure.

Note: Empty the glass every time it reaches its maximum capacity level, by temporarily interrupting the cycle.

STAND-BY FUNCTION

Note: To ensure the energy conservation the machine automatically passes to the stand-by mode after 30 minutes of not being used. The machine can be set to the stand-by mode manually, first of the 30 minutes’ time, by keeping both buttons pressed down for at least 3 seconds. This mode is indicated by the switching off of the buttons. The machine can be reactivated by pressing the buttons again.

PREPARATION FOR COFFEE BREWING

The coffee machine features two positions for preparing the coffee: espresso cup/mug or glass.

1. Place the cup or small cup under the coffee dispenser, if you wish to have traditional espresso coffee.
   
2. Remove the drop collecting tray to use a glass, if you wish to have weak coffee.
   

ESPRESSO DELIVERY

Note: Make sure that the switch-on/supply buttons lights up to a steady white light.
