If the filter holder handle is not centred when it is in position, do not turn the machine on. Remove
the filter holder and reinsert it as described above
(figure 11).
You must observe these procedures to prevent the filter holder from being moved out of position
under the pressure of the infusion cycle.
5.
Open the hinged lid and unscrew the boiler safety cap by turning it anticlockwise
(Figures 12 and
13).
6.
Fill the boiler with cold water using the glass measuring jug
(figure 14).
The glass jug has a gauge for 2 or 4 cups.
To foam the milk for the cappuccino, add the
quantity of water that corresponds to the level of
steam indicated on the jug.
The maximum capacity corresponds to the lower
part of the metal ring around the glass jug, i.e.
4 cups of espresso plus the water necessary for
making the steam that will produce the cappuccino
foam.
OBSERVATION
It is very important to pour only the amount of water
that you need into the boiler, no more. The appliance
will empty the contents of the boiler that is not used.
7.
Close the boiler lid by turning it clockwise
(figure 15).
8.
Place the jug underneath the filter holder and
ensure that the hole in the jug lid is directly
under the filter holder nozzle
(figure 16).
9.
Ensure that the side button (e2) is in the espresso
coffee position. Turn the selector switch (S) to
the left, to the “ON” position on the espresso
side. The left-hand blue light comes on
(figure 17).
It takes around 2 minutes for the water to become hot enough. The water is then forced through the
coffee, into the glass jug.
10.
Wait until the water in the boiler has been fully
used. Turn off the machine by turning the
function selector switch (S) to its central position.
11.
Do not unscrew the touch the lid of the boiler
while the machine is on. Wait until the cycle has
finished and until all of the water and steam
have been used (see section “ATTENTION -
PRESSURE”).
CAPPUCCINO
It is said that the name “cappuccino” comes from the colour of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks,
for whom this delicious drink, served with the dessert, was a great favourite. Cappuccino is traditionally
made with 1/3 espresso coffee, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 foamy milk, and it can be flavoured, depending on
each individual's taste, with cinnamon, sugar, flakes of chocolate or even alcohol. Its very versatility has
made it a hugely popular drink the world over.
Making cappuccino
If the cappuccino accessory is not in place, install it
(figure 18).
1.
Pour 120 to 180 ml of fresh cold milk into a small recipient. Do not use a recipient that has been
20
ATTENTION
Never fill the boiler when the machine is “ON”.
Never pour more than 300 ml of water in the
boiler.
Use the espresso jug to control the amount of
water you are pouring in.
ATTENTION
Never full the jug above the lower level of the
metal ring!
ATTENTION
Ensure that the overflow tray (e7) in is place.
ATTENTION
Remove the filter holder with care, because the
metal parts may be very hot. Once the machine
has been turned off, it is recommended that you
wait for around 2 minutes before removing the
filter holder. To do so, turn the filter holder
towards the left, until it becomes detached from
the machine.
