DISPENSING HOT WATER - PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO
• To dispense 1 cup of coffee, press the button once. To
dispense 2 cups of coffee, press the button twice.
In this operating mode, the machine automati-
cally grinds and doses the correct amount of
coffee. Brewing two coffees requires two grinding
cycles and two brewing cycles, which the machine
carries out automatically.
• After the prebrewing cycle, coffee begins to dispense
out of the dispensing spout (5).
• Coffee brewing stops automatically when the pre-
programmed level is reached; however, it is possible
to interrupt coffee brewing by pressing the button
initially pressed.
The machine is adjusted to brew a true Italian
espresso coffee. This feature may slightly
lengthen the brewing time, allowing the intense
fl
avor
of the coffee to develop fully.
7 DISPENSING HOT WATER
Warning: Dispensing may be preceded by
short sprays of hot water, and scalding is
possible. The hot water/steam wand may reach high
temperatures. Do not touch it with bare hands; use
the appropriate handle only.
• Before dispensing hot water, make sure that the
green temperature light (19) is on.
When the machine is ready, proceed as follows:
•
(Fig. 7)
- Place a container under the hot water/steam
wand (Pannarello for Plus version) (10).
•
(Fig. 9)
- Turn the control dial (17) clockwise to set it
to the " " position.
• Fill the cup with hot water to the level desired; to stop
hot water dispensing, turn control dial (17) counter-
clockwise back to the " " position. The machine
returns to the normal operating mode.
Occasionally, after turning the control dial
(17) hot water may not be dispensed and the
temperature light (19) may blink slowly. To obtain a
fl
ow of hot water, simply wait until the temperature
light (19) stops blinking and remains steady.
8 STEAM DISPENSING / CAPPUCCINO
Steam may be used to froth milk for a cappuccino, as
well as to reheat other beverages.
Warning: Dispensing may be preceded by
short sprays of hot water, and scalding is
possible. The hot water/steam wand may reach high
temperatures. Do not touch it with bare hands; use
the appropriate handle only.
•
(Fig. 7)
- Place a container under the hot water/steam
wand (10) (Pannarello).
•
(Fig. 13)
- When the machine is ready to brew coffee,
turn the control dial (17) counter-clockwise to set it to
the " " position; residual water may come out of the
wand (Pannarello).
• The temperature light (19) blinks during the preheating
time required by the machine.
• Steam dispensing will begin when the green
temperature light (19) remains steady.
• Turn the control dial (17) clockwise and set it back to
the " " position to stop dispensing steam.
• Fill 1/3 the cup with cold milk.
Use cold milk for better results when prepar-
ing a cappuccino.
•
(Fig. 14)
- Immerse the steam wand (Pannarello for
Plus version) in the milk to be heated and turn the
control dial (17) counter-clockwise to set it to the "
" position. Froth the milk by gently swirling the cup
and moving it up and down.
• After dispensing steam for the desired time, turn the
control dial (17) clockwise and set it back to the " "
position to stop dispensing steam.
• The same procedure can be used to heat other
beverages.
After using the steam wand (Pannarello for Plus
version), wash it as described in the "Cleaning and
Maintenance" section.
• Prime the machine as described in section 4.4.
If the control dial is left on the central posi-
tion, the machine, in order to save energy,
automatically reaches the temperature needed to
dispense coffee.
