4. Replace the plug in the hot water heater tank
by turning firmly in a clockwise direction.
5. Insert the filter for espresso coffee into the filter
holder (fig. 14).
6. Fill the filter with the ground coffee, respecting
the dosages indicated in the chart at the end of
this text and distribute it uniformly in the filter
(fig. 15). It is important to use the highest qual-
ity coffee and having a medium grind in order
to avoid the obstruction of the filter during the
brewing. Remove any excess coffee from
around the edges of the filter (fig. 16).
7. To attach the filter holder to the appliance,
position it under the hot water drip spout with
the handle towards the left, see fig. 17. Push
upwards, and at the same time, turn the han-
dle towards the right.
Always turn right to the
end.
8. Place the coffee pot for espresso coffee under
the filter holder so that the spout where the cof-
fee exits the filter is inside of the opening found
on the lid of the coffee pot (fig. 18).
9. Position the “Vario System” selector according
the type of espresso coffee desired: “LIGHT”
for a lighter coffee and “STRONG” for a
stronger tasting brew (fig. 19).
10. Make sure that the steam release knob is
closed.
11. Push the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cap-
puccino (fig. 20) . The ON/OFF warning light
for espresso/cappuccino will turn on.
12. After approximately two minutes, the espresso
coffee will begin to flow out (fig. 21).
ATTENTION: to avoid spraying, never detach
the filter holder while the machine in brewing
coffee.
13. When the coffee no longer flows out from the
filter holder, push the ON/OFF switch for
espresso/cappuccino to turn off the hot water
heater (fig. 20). Pour the coffee into the cups.
14. To eliminate the used coffee in the filter, detach
the filter holder, keeping the filter locked in
place with the special lever incorporated in the
handle and remove the coffee by turning the
filter holder upside down and striking gently
(fig. 22).
ATTENTION:
Before removing the filter holder, it is
important to eliminate all of the residual steam
from the inside of the hot water heater to avoid
puffs of steam. Allow it to blow out completely by
rotating the steam release knob (fig. 23).
NOTE:
For safety reasons, when the hot water
heater is hot, it is not possible to remove its plug as
it will spin without opening. If for any reason it is
necessary to remove it, it is important to always
release the steam in the hot water tank by acting
on the steam release knob as described in the pre-
vious point.
ATTENTION: The first time that coffee is pre-
pared, it is necessary to wash all of the acces-
sories and the internal circuits of the machine as
follows:
• For the coffee machine filter: make at least two
pots of coffee without using the ground coffee
in the filter (following the instructions in the
paragraph How to prepare the coffee filter);
• For the espresso coffee filter: make at least
four cups of espresso coffee without using
ground coffee in the filter (following the instruc-
tions in the paragraph How to prepare the
espresso coffee filter);
HOW TO USE THE TWO CUP ATTACHMENT
The attachment must be used every time that it is
desired that the coffee drips directly into the cups.
To mount the attachment, it is sufficient to attach it
to the lower part of the filter holder (fig. 24).
HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
• Prepare the espresso coffee as described in the
paragraph “How to prepare espresso coffee”
from points 1 through 12; using however, the
quantity of water necessary to obtain 2 cap-
puccinos as indicated in the chart at the end of
this text. Note that the quantity of water
required for making cappuccinos is greater
that the amount necessary for making espresso
coffee: the extra water is used for the produc-
tion of steam for frothing the milk.
• In the meantime, pour the milk,
not boiled and
not hot
, into the milk tank (fig. 25). With the
tank filled to the MAX line, there will be
enough milk to make 2 or 3 cappuccinos.
Never fill beyond the MAX line otherwise once
the cappuccino has been made, the milk may
