Priming the circuit:
This simple operation ensures optimum dispensing and must be carried out:
-When first starting:
-When the machine has been out of use for a long time (1 or 2 weeks)
-After making steam
-When the tank has run out of water.
- Fill the receptacle taking care to observe the MAX level
- Connect the appliance to the mains.

-Without fitting the filter holder (or with the filter holder fitted, but without coffee),
place a recipient in the position of the coffee cup.
- Select the coffee position by rotating the control to this position.
- Water will exit through the filter holder position. Wait until approximately one
cupful has exited

How to deal with lime scale incrustations:
- For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept free of lime scale or
magnesium incrustations caused by the use of hard water.
- To prevent this kind of problem, we recommend the use of water with low lime
or magnesium mineralisation.
- However, if it is not possible to use the kind of water recommended above,
you should periodically remove the lime scale from the appliance:
- Every 6 weeks if the water is “very hard”.
- Every 12 weeks if the water is “hard”.
- To do so, we recommend the use of the specific product Taurus Decal, which
can be found in specialised shops and authorised technical services.
- Homemade solutions are not recommended in the de-scaling of this applian-
ce, such as the use of vinegar.
Anomalies and repair
- Take the appliance to an authorised technical support service if problems
arise. Do not try to dismantle or repair without assistance, as this may be
dangerous.
- If the connection to the mains has been damaged, it must be replaced and
you should proceed as you would in the case of damage.
