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.
2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into
the filter (fig 13). Follow the instructions on the pod’s
box to pur correctly the pod oon 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 5).
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. 14).
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. 15).
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 4, 5 and 6 of the previous
paragraph (how to prepare espresso coffee using the
filter holder for ground coffee).
5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter
holder and simply lift the pod out
6..To turn off the coffee maker, press the
ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
FILLING THE STEAM BOILER
• Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction.
• Fill the water measuring device up to the 170 gram
(6 oz.) line (fig. 16).
•
Slowly
pour the water into the boiler (fig. 14), first
making sure that the CAPPUCCINO switch is
turned off and the
steam knob is closed.
When the
boiler is full, it holds enough water to make 15 to 20
cappuccinos.
• Close the boiler cap by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
NOTE: for safety reasons, when the boiler is hot, it is
not possible to remove the cap because the threads do
not grip. Therefore, to fill the boiler, it is necessary
either to wait until all the water in it is used up or until
the boiler has cooled.
ATTENTION: it is recommended that the boiler be
filled when cold and that the measuring container
provided be used. If the boiler is filled while hot (for
example, if the water runs out while making a
cappuccino), it is recommended that only the contents
of one measuring container be used. NEVER TRY TO
FILL THE HOT BOILER UP TO THE MAXIMUM 170
GRAMS (6 oz.) marked on the boiler itself (fig. 14); if
this is done, the machine will not froth the milk
properly on the next attempt.
HOW TO PREPARE A CAPPUCCINO
1.Before making the coffee, make sure that the steam
knob is closed, then press the CAPPUCCINO
switch (fig. 18) so as to allow the steam boiler to
preheat.
2.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the
previous section. Don’t forget to use sufficiently large
cups.
3.Pour the milk into the milk tank (fig. 19).
The milk
must be neither boiled nor warm
.
NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
4.When the tank has been filled up to the MAX line,
you can make 2 or 3 cappuccinos.
Never fill the
tank over the little notch that is located just above
the MAX sign (fig. 19); if the tank is too full, the
milk may continue to drip from the tube after the
cappuccino has been made.
5.Before starting delivery of the milk,
always wait until
the ‘CAPPUCCINO OK’ pilot light
(fig. 20) comes
on. This light indicates that the ideal temperature has
been reached for foaming the milk.
TIP: if starting with a cold boiler, in order to obtain a
warmer milk, wait until the ‘OK’ pilot light comes on
twice in a row (about 5 minutes).
6.Place the cup containing coffee under the tube of the
milk tank, check that the clamp of the milk tank is well
hooked, then turn the steam knob in an anti
clockwise direction
at least one full rotation
(fig.
21). The foamed milk will start coming out from the
tube of the milk tank. When using small size cups,
in
order to avoid squirts of milk
it is necessary to insert
the anti spray cap onto the tube of the milk tank (fig.
22).
7.Fill the cup with the desired quantity of foamed milk.
To stop the flow of milk, turn the steam knob in a
