2.5 DELIVERY OF HOT WATER
Place or hold a proper container endowed with a thermally insulating handle under the hot-water
nozzle. Turn on the hot-water tap by moving the handgrip in the counter-clockwise direction,
until you have filled the container with the desired quantity of water.
Turn off the hot-water tap again by moving the handgrip in the clockwise direction.
Warning: the tap hot-water pipe becomes very hot and there is great risk of scald.

Place a stainless steel container under the steam nozzle (point 4 on page 7) and
immersing into the liquid to be heated.
Operate the steam knob anticlockwise tap, steam starts coming out and heating the

2.7 HEATING SYSTEM OF CUPS AND GLASSES
On the upper part of the machine there are two shelves to be able to rest the cups.
A steam heating system allows you to keep hot cups, an added value for a best
tasting.
The operation of the steam takes place via the lever located on the bottom near the
switch ON - OFF (step 9 and 10, page 7).
2.8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For cleaning operation in general use an ordinary detergent for washing dishes or a
solution of alcohol; you are recommended not to use abrasive detergents or powders,
since these might damage the finishing. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of cold water.
Complete disinfection can, however, be carried out only by the Authorized
Technical Service Centres, and must be done at least one year.
