4.Empty the cup, wait until the “OK” pilot light comes
on again and repeat the whole operation one more
time.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to
be given off when removing the filter holder).
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE
1.After preheating the appliance as described in the
above paragraph, insert the ground coffee filter with
frother into the filter holder, making sure the tab is
correctly inserted into the housing as shown in fig. 13.
2.
To prepare a single coffee,
fill the filter with a level
measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 14). To
prepare two coffees, use the filter and fill with two
loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6
g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the ground
coffee from overflowing.
Note: use high quality, finely-ground coffee for
espresso coffee makers.
IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the
ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter
is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.
3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it
lightly with the pressing pad (fig. 15).
NOTE: Pressing the coffee is very important in order
to prepare a food coffee. However if you press too
hard, coffee will come out slowly and cream will be
of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come
out too fast and cream will be a very light colour.
4.
Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.
Rotate firmly (fig. 10) to avoid leaks of water.
5.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by
rinsing under hot water) on the removable drip tray.
Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the
dispensing holes on the filter holder (fig. 16).
6.Wait until the espresso “OK” light comes on (fig. 11)
then turn the selector knob to the espresso function
(fig. 12) until the desired quantity of coffee is
obtained To stop the delivery, turn the selector to the
position (fig. 9).
7.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right
to left.
To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter
holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.
8.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with
the special lever that is built into the handle and let
the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter
holder (fig. 17).
9.To switch off the coffee machine, turn the selector knob
on the appliance to the OFF position “O” (fig. 18)
ATTENTION:
The first time that coffee is prepared, it is
necessary to wash all of the accessories and the
internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least five
coffees without using the ground coffee.
HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted):
1.Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating
the Coffee Machine’ section, making sure to leave
the filter holder attached to the unit. Following this
procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a
hotter temperature, as well as guaranteeing that the
seal of the filter holder gaskets is more effective.
2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into
the filter (fig 19). Always follow the instructions on
the package of the wafers for the correct positioning
of the wafer in the filter.
Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard:
this will be indicated on the packaging by the following
symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading
coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso
coffee to be prepared simply and without any mess.
3.Attach the filter holder onto the machine,
moving
from left to right (fig 10).
Note: to ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of
water from the rim of the filter holder, you are
recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs
from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig. 20).
IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be
used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to
clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso
boiler outlet (fig 21). This cleaning operation is
necessary in order to avoid water leackeges from the
coffe holder for pods whele coffee is being preposed.
4.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous
section on how to prepare espresso.
5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter
holder and simply lift the pod out
6.To turn the coffee machine off, turn the selector knob on
the appliance to the Off position “O” (fig.18).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large
enough for cappuccinos
2.urn the selector knob to the position (fig. 22): the
steam light comes on (fig. 22).
3.Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig. 11) to
indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal
temperature for producing steam.
