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 5, 6 and 7 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 

1.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. 16). 

The milk

must be neither boiled nor warm

NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at
refrigerator temperature.

4.

With the milk container filled up to the MAX line, you
can make 2 to 3 cappuccino coffees. 

Do not exceed

the small ledge immediately above the word MAX
(fig. 16) otherwise the milk may continue to drip
from the tube after you have finished making the
cappuccino.

3.Before starting to run off the milk, always wait until

the "IFD" indicator light comes on to indicate that the
ideal milk frothing temperature has been reached.

4.Place the cup of coffee under the milk outlet (fig. 18),

Set the froth regulator to the      position and press
the “IFD PUMP” switch (fig. 19).

NOTE:

If you want hot milk (not frothy) move the froth

regulator to the right-hand position       (fig. 20); if you
want emulsified milk, move the froth regulator to the left   

.

5.When you have the required amount of milk, press

the IFD switch again

Tip: 

To  obtain perfect cappuccino, the following

proportions are recommended: 1/3 of coffee to 2/3 of
frothed milk.

• The cappuccino is now ready: add sugar to taste

and, if desired, sprinkle a little chocolate powder on
the froth.

• After preparing the last cappuccino, before turning

the appliance off, lift the intake tube in the container
above the level of any milk left as shown in fig. 21
and press the IFD PUMP switch. Allow the steam to
discharge for a few seconds, then press again the
IFD PUMP SWITCHwith the tube extracted. For
hygiene reasons, this operation should always be
performed to avoid stale milk remaining in the
circuits of the appliance.

Important: 

always clean the milk frother after use, as

described in the chapter "Cleaning the milk frother".

HEATING LIQUIDS

This appliance can also heat liquids other than milk,
with excellent results.
1.Switch on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF

button (fig.4)

2.Pour the liquid to be heated (punch, water etc.) into

the milk tank.

3.Move the froth control to the position on the right 

(Fig. 20) and place a cup under the milk tank

pipe (Fig. 18).

4.When the ESPRESSO/PUMP pilot lamp switch on

(fig. 17) press the  IFD/PUMP switch (fig. 19). The
liquid will start coming out.

5.Once the desired quantity of liquid has been

released, press the IFD PUMP switch again to stop
delivery.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any cleaning operations of the
exterior parts, switch the machine off, remove the plug
from the socket and leave the machine to cool.
