5 1 2 FILLING THE WATER TANK 1. TURN THE APPLIANCE on by pressing the ON/OFF BUTTON AND ATTACH THE FILTER HOLDER TO THE APPLI- ANCE WITHOUT ADDING GROUND COFFEE. q REMOVE THE WATERTANK by pulling it out (to- wards the front). NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT WATER IN THE TANK and always remember to top up when the level drops to a couple of cen- timetres from the bottom. w FILL THE TANK with fresh clean water taking care not to exceed the MAX level. Refit the tank. PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT TO ATTACH THE FILTER HOLDER, position it under the boiler outlet with the han- dle towards the left, push it upwards and at the same time rotate the handle firmly towards the right. Check that the steam knob is closed. 2. PLACE A CUP UNDER THE FILTER HOLDER. Use the same cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it. 3. WAIT FOR THE OK INDICATOR LIGHT to come on, then imme- diately press the coffee knob. Run the water off until the OK indicator light goes out, then inter- rupt delivery by pressing the coffee button again. 4. EMPTY THE CUP. Wait until the OK indicator light comes on again then repeat the same operation. (It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off when removing the filter holder).
6 1 2 1. AFTER PREHEATING the appliance as described above, place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder, making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot. Use the smaller filter to make one coffee or the larg- er filter to make two coffees. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE 2. TO MAKE A SINGLE COFFEE ONLY, place one level measure (about 7 g) of ground cof- fee in the filter. To prepare two cof- fees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g) of ground coffee in the fil- ter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing. IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, clean the filter from residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion. 5. PLACE THE CUP or cups under the filter holder spouts. You are rec- ommended to heat the cups before mak- ing the cof- fee by rinsing them with a little hot water. 6. MAKE SURE THE OK LIGHT IS ON (if off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee button. When the required quantity of coffee has been run off, press the same button again. (You should not run off coffee for more than 45 seconds at a time). 7. TO REMOVE THE FILTER HOLDER, rotate the handle from right to left. IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is deliver- ing coffee. 8. TO ELIMINATE THE USED COFFEE GROUNDS, block the filter in place using the lever incor- porated in the handle and empty the coffee by turning the fil- ter holder upside down and tapping. 9. TO TURN THE COFFEE MACHINE OFF, press the ON/OFF button. IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all accessories and the internal circuits must be washed through by making at least five coffees without using ground coffee. 3. DISTRIBUTE THE GROUND COFFEE evenly and press lightly with the presser NB: Correct pressing of the ground coffee is essen- tial to obtain a good espresso. If pressing is ex- cessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light coloured. 4. REMOVE ANY EXCESS COFFEE from the rim of the fil- ter hold- er and attach the fil- ter holder to the appli- ance. Rotate firmly to avoid leaks of water.
7 1 2 HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS 1. PREHEAT THE APPLIANCE as described in the sec- tion “PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT”, making sure the filter holder is attached. This obtains a hotter coffee. NB: Use pods conforming to the ESE standard indicated on the pack with the following logo: THE ESE STANDARD is a system ac- cepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly. 2. PLACE THE SMALL FILTER (1 cup or pods) in the filter holder, making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot. 3. INSERT A POD, centring it as far as possible on the filter. Always follow the instruc- tions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly. 4. ATTACH THE FILTER HOLDER to the appliance. Al- ways rotate as far as it will go. 5. PROCEED AS in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previ- ous paragraph.
8 HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE 1. PREPARE THE ESPRESSO COFFEES as described in the previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups. 2. PRESS THE STEAM BUTTON and wait for the OK light to come on. This in- dicates that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production. 3. IN THE MEANTIME, fill a recipi- ent with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume. NB: YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE SEMISKIMMED MILK AT REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE. 4. PLACE THE RECIPIENT containing the milk under the cappuccino maker. 7. POUR THE FROTHED MILK into the cups contain- ing the espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder. NB: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end pre- pare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos. NB: to make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, cool down the boiler first or the coffee will be burnt. To cool it, place a contain- er under the boiler outlet, press the steam but- ton and run off water until the OK light goes out. Make the coffee as described in the previ- ous paragraphs. 5. DIP THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER into the milk for about 5 mm and turn the steam knob anti- clockwise, taking care not to immerse the raised line on the cappuccino maker (indicated by the arrow). Turn the steam knob at least a half turn anti- clockwise. Steam is discharged from the cap- puccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino maker into the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bot- tom upwards. 6. WHEN THE REQUIRED TEMPERATURE IS REACHED (60°C is ideal), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise and at the same time pressing the steam button.
9 IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino maker after use. Proceed as follows: 1. DISCHARGE A LITTLE STEAM for a few seconds by rotat- ing the steam knob. This emp- ties any milk left inside the steam spout. IMPORTANT: To ensure hy- giene, you are recommended to follow this procedure each time you make cappucci- no to avoid milk stagnating in the milk circuit. 3. REMOVE THE NOZZLE from the steam tube by pulling it downwards. 4. WASH THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER and steam nozzle thoroughly with warm water. 5. MAKE SURE the two holes shown in are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin. 6. REPLACE THE STEAM NOZZLE by in- serting it onto the steam tube and rotating firmly towards the top of the tube. 7. REPLACE THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER by inserting it and rotating anticlockwise. HOT WATER PRODUCTION 1. TURN THE APPLIANCE ON by pressing the ON/OFF button. Wait until the OK indicator light comes on. 2. PLACE A RECIPIENT under the cappuccino mak- er. 3. PRESS THE COFFEE BUTTON and at the same time turn the steam knob anticlockwise. Water comes out of the cappucci- no maker; 4. TO INTERRUPT DELIVERY OF HOT WATER, close the steam knob by rotating clockwise and press the coffee button again. (You should not run off hot water for more than 45 seconds at a time). 2. WITH ONE HAND, HOLD THE CAP- PUCCINO TUBE FIRMLY and with the other unscrew the cappuccino maker itself by rotating clock- wise and extracting downwards.
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 1. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING operations, leave the appliance to cool down and unplug from the mains socket. 2. DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE cleaning products to clean the appliance. A soft, damp cloth is sufficient. 3. EMPTY AND WASH the drip tray and drip mesh frequently. 4. CLEAN THE WATER TANK regularly. IMPORTANT: Never immerse the appliance in water. It is an electrical appliance. CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER ABOUT EVERY 200 COFFEES, clean the filter holder for ground coffee as follows: Remove the filter with frother. Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a dishwasher. Unscrew the cap of the frother by turning anticlockwise. Remove the frother from the container by pushing it from the cap end. Remove the gasket. RINSE ALL COMPONENTS and clean the metal filter thoroughly in hot water using a brush. MAKE SURE the holes in the metal filter are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin. Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk. Make sure to in- sert the pin on the plastic disk into the hole in the gasket indicated by the arrow. Replace the assembly in the steel filter container, making sure the pin is inserted in the hole in the support. Finally, screw on the cap by turning clockwise. Failure to clean as described above in- validates the guarantee.
11 CLEANING THE BOILER OUTLET ABOUT EVERY 300 COFFEES, the espresso boil- er outlet must be cleaned as follows: 1. MAKE SURE the ap- pliance is not hot and that it is unplugged from the mains. DESCALING 3. CLEAN THE BOILER with a damp cloth 4. CLEAN THE OUTLET thoroughly in hot water using a brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If neces- sary, clean with a pin. 5. RINSE UNDER RUNNING WATER, rubbing all the time. 6. SCREW THE BOILER OUTLET BACK ON. Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guar- antee. YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO DESCALE the coffee ma- chine about every 200 coffees or a maximum of every two months. YOU SHOULD USE A COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE PROD- UCT SPECIFICALLY FOR DESCALING ESPRESSO COFFEE MA- CHINES. IF SUCH A PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE, proceed as fol- lows. 1. FILL THE TANK with half a litre of water. 2. DISSOLVE 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of cit- ric acid (obtainable from chemist’s or drug stores) 3. PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON and wait for the OK indicator light to come on. 4. MAKE SURE the filter holder is not attached and position a recipient under the boiler out- let. 5. PRESS THE COFFEE BUTTON, half empty the tank by turning the steam knob every now and then to run off a little solution. Stop run-off by pressing the button again. 6. TURN THE APPLIANCE OFF. 7. LEAVE THE SOLUTION TO WORK for 15 minutes then turn the appliance on again. 8. PRESS THE COFFEE BUTTON to empty the tank completely. 9. TO ELIMINATE RESIDUES of solution and scale, rinse the tank well, fill with clean water (with- out citric acid) and replace in position. 10. PRESS THE COFFEE BUTTON and run the water off until the tank is completely empty 11. INTERRUPT water run-off and repeat opera- tions 9, 10 and 11 again.
