• In order to ensure the best level of quality, all of our appliances are tested during production. We therefore
recommend that you rinse the appliance before first use, as follows:
• Remove the removable water tank.
• Fill it completely with cold drinking water, and fit it to the appliance.
Note: the water tank can also be filled without removing it from the appliance.
• Plug the appliance into the mains socket with an earth pin.
• Place a container under the coffee tube.
• Check that the head is correctly closed and in the locked position .
• Press the button (3) to start a coffee cycle.
• Repeat this operation as many times as necessary to empty the water tank.
• The Direct Serve pod coffee maker is now ready for use.
• The Direct Serve technology eliminates the need for preheating and waiting around. The single button starts
the coffee preparation immediately. The coffee maker switches itself off automatically after pouring the
optimal volume of coffee.
• Remove the removable water tank.
• Fill it with cold drinking water, and fit it to the appliance.
• Release the percolator head by turning the knob to the position .
• Remove the pod holder and centre the pod on it.
• Note: the coffee should be evenly distributed in the pod, so that it is flat.
• Place the pod holder in the percolator head.
• Close the cover and turn the knob to the locked position .
• Ensure that the knob is locked in place: you should feel a click.
Warning:
• Do not start a cycle if the knob is not in the locked position .
• Do not force the knob, if it is difficult to lock and requires excessive effort, open the head and ensure that the
pod is laid flat inside the pod holder. If the problem persists, change the pod.
• Place a 150 ml cup underneath the coffee tube. A larger cup will mean that the coffee goes colder quicker.
• The appliance does not require any preheating.
• Press the button.
• The button lights up and the pump cycle starts, with an intermittent humming noise. After a few seconds the
coffee starts to flow.
• To obtain an optimal preparation, the coffee maker automatically supplies the optimal quantity of water for
the pod (100 ml). At the end of the cycle, the button flashes to indicate a vaporisation phase, to extract all of
the aroma from the coffee and dry the pod.
• When the button stops flashing, the cycle is complete: open the cover and dispose of the pod.
Note: a stronger coffee can be obtained by pressing the button at any time. This starts the aroma extraction and
pod drying phase.
Warning: take into account that another volume of coffee will now be poured.
Warning:
• Do not attempt to open the percolator head during a cycle, the coffee maker is pressurised during the phase
when the button flashes.
• You must wait until the button has stopped flashing before attempting to open the head.
• You can prepare several cups successively by changing the pod each time and following the instructions
explained above.
Tips:
• Do not leave a used pod in the pod holder for any length of time after use.
• Rinse the pod holder regularly using hot water and washing-up liquid.
• If the coffee maker has not been used for more than 3 days, empty the water tank and fill it with fresh water.
• Unplug your appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations.
