coffees. Do not exceed the small ledge immedia-
tely above the word MAX (fig. 10) otherwise the
milk may continue to drip from the tube after you
have finished making the cappuccino.
• Before starting to run off the milk, always wait
until the "OK" indicator light (fig. 11) comes on to
indicate that the ideal milk frothing temperature
has been reached.
• When the coffee is ready, pour a little (about 60
cc, 2 fl. oz.) into a sufficiently large cup and place
it under the milk tube (fig. 8).
• Rotate the steam knob anticlockwise for at least
one turn (fig. 8). The frothed milk will run out of
the milk tube. If you use small cups, fit the splash
hood onto the milk tube (fig. 12) to avoid splashes
of milk.
• Fill the cup with the quantity of frothed milk requi-
red.
Tip: To obtain perfect cappuccino, the following pro-
portions are recommended: 1/3 of coffee to 2/3 of
frothed milk.
• To stop the milk running out, rotate the steam knob
clockwise.
IMPORTANT: to ensure successful milk frothing, always
wait until the OK indicator (fig. 11) comes on before
making another cappuccino.
•
After preparing the last cappuccino, before tur-
ning the appliance off, lift the intake tube in the
container above the level of any milk left as shown
in fig. 13 and rotate the steam knob anticlockwi-
se. Allow the steam to discharge for a few
seconds, then close the knob with the tube extrac-
ted.
For hygiene reasons, this operation should
always be performed to avoid stale milk remai-
ning in the circuits of the appliance.
• Finally, to avoid the milk solidifying, the milk con-
tainer should be washed immediately as descri-
bed below in the "Cleaning the milk frother"
paragraph.
Recipe
Preparing the cappuccino with Italian coffee
To obtain a cappuccino with a more intense flavour,
prepare the coffee as follows:
•
Fill the carafe with the quantity of cold water indi-
cated in the table at the end of the text.
IMPORTANT: never exceed the maximum quantity of
water indicated in the table otherwise coffee could
leak out during operation.
• Pour into the tank (fig. 4) and DO NOT place the
carafe on the hot plate.
• Place two measures (7+7 grams) of coffee in the
filter for every cup of cappuccino required. You
can use either filter or moka coffee (the latter
makes an excellent Italian cappuccino).
• Close the coffee lid and press the coffee ON/OFF
button (fig. 6).
• When you hear the gurgle at the end of percola-
tion, place the cup (not plastic as it could be
deformed by the heat) at the centre of the hot
plate (fig. 14).Take care to avoid burns: the hot
plate is extremely hot.
• Fill the coffee cup (about 60 cc, 2 fl. oz.) by
moving the coffee spout control from left to right
(fig. 14).
• Prepare the cappuccino as described in the chap-
ter "Preparing cappuccino coffee".
Important: the first time you use the appliance, to
eliminate the "new" smell and above all to ensure
correct functioning, perform a number of coffee
cycles without coffee grounds and wash the steam
boiler as follows: fill with water, remove the milk
container, press the cappuccino button and after 5
minutes open the steam knob. Wait for the steam
to be completely exhausted (about 15 minutes).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or maintenance, always turn the
appliance off, unplug from the mains socket and
leave to cool.
Cleaning the milk frother
The milk frother must be cleaned each time you use it.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the milk container by pressing the
"PRESS" lever and at the same time pulling
upwards: wash with hot water.
• Remove the red frother by pressing on the clip (A)
and at the same time pulling upwards (fig. 15).
Remove the rubber mixer, wash and clean with
hot water, particularly the four holes indicated in
figure 16 (use a needle). Make sure the hole indi-
cated with the arrow B is not blocked.
• Once clean, all elements must be replaced cor-
rectly. In particular, make sure the rubber mixer is
inserted completely and that the red frother is
pushed in fully until it clicks into place.
Important:
to facilitate cleaning of the milk tube, you
can use the tube brush provided.
If you do not clean the tube after use, milk frothing
may not be successful, the milk may not be sucked
up or milk may drip from the milk tube.
