2. Insert the required coffee filter in the filter holder (C1) (fig.
5);
3. Attach the filter holder to the machine without filling it
with ground coffee (fig. 6);
4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and another 0.5
litre container under the cappuccino maker (fig. 7);
5. Wait for the
OK
light (B5) to come on (fig. 8), then immedi-
ately press the
button (fig. 9) and deliver about half
the tank from the filter holder;
6. Turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (fig. 10) and deliver
all the water remaining in the tank from the cappuccino
maker;
7. Close the steam dial and press the
button again;
8. Empty the two containers and put back under the boiler
outlet and cappuccino maker, and repeat points 5, 6 and 7.
Now the appliance is ready for use.
7.1 Auto-off
If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (depend-
ing on the model), it switches off automatically (and the indica-
tor light goes out).
7.2 Tips for a hotter coffee
To make espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the
button (the
I
light (B4) comes on) (fig. 4) and attach the filter holder to
the appliance without adding pre-ground coffee (fig. 6);
2. Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will
be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the
OK
light comes on (fig. 8) and immediately
afterwards press the
button (fig. 9). Continue de-
livering water until the
OK
light goes off, then interrupt
delivery by pressing the same button again;
4. Empty the cup, wait until the
OK
light comes on again (B5)
and then repeat the same operation.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given
off when removing the filter holder).
8. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-
GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the ground coffee filter (C2) or (C3) in the filter hold-
er (C1). Use the
filter to make one coffee or the
filter to make two coffees;
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter. (fig. 11). To make
two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g)
of pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.
Important:
for correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, make sure
there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made coffee.
3. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press gently
down with the presser (fig. 12). Correct pressing of the
pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso.
If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle firmly to-
wards the right (fig. 6) to avoid water leaking out;
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig.
13). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
6. Make sure the
OK
light is on (fig. 8) (if off, wait until it
comes on), then press the
button. Once the re-
quired amount of coffee has been delivered, interrupt
delivery by pressing the same button again;
7. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to
left;
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appli-
ance is delivering coffee.
8. To eliminate the used coffee grounds, hold the filter holder
upside down and tap (fig. 14).
9. To turn the appliance off, press the
button.
9. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING
PODS
1. Preheat the appliance as described in section “7.2 TIPS
FOR A HOTTER COFFEE”, making sure the filter holder is
attached. This obtains a hotter coffee.
Please note:
use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol. The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod pro-
ducers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the pod coffee filter (C4) (
) in the filter holder;
3. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig.
15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to po-
sition the pod on the filter correctly.
4. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (fig. 6);
5. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.
10. HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous
sections, using sufficiently large cups.
2. Press the
button (fig. 16) and wait for the
OK
light
(B3)to come on (fig. 17);
3. In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be
at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or tri-
ples in volume (fig. 18);
