•
Switch the steam supply off by setting the
steam supply knob (3) «OFF--- +» to the posi-
tion «OFF».
• Put the tip (5) into the bowl with cold milk or
cream, the tip (5) must not touch the bottom
of the bowl otherwise the steam outgoing will
be hindered.
•
Slowly turn the steam supply control knob (3)
«OFF--- +» and fully open the steam supply.
Notes: - to avoid splashing milk always immerse
the tip (5) deeper than 1 cm from the milk surface.
• The outgoing steam creates whirls which
froths milk; from time to time lift and lower the
bowl with milk against the tip (5) to make the
milk foam.
•
Be careful while operating with outgo-
ing steam; after you finish frothing the milk,
switch the steam supply off by setting the
control knob (3) to the position «OFF».

Notes: - making the milk foam is an art. You may
not make it at the first try, don’t worry and experi-
ment until you achieve good results.
IMPORTANT:
–
It is important that milk for making foam is
fresh and without additives, is not so-called
long storage milk.
–
Use regular whole milk with fat content from
4% to 6%, the cream fat content should be
not less than 10%.
–
Clean the cappuccinator pipe (4) and its tip
(5) right after milk or cream frothing - to do
this, put the cappuccinator pipe (4) with the
tip (5) into a glass of water, switch the steam
supply on by setting the steam supply knob
(3) to the position «--- +», and after that switch
the steam supply off by setting the steam sup-
ply knob (3) to the position «OFF» and switch

remove the tip (5) from the cappuccinator
pipe (4), wipe the cappuccinator pipe (4) with
a soft damp cloth and wash the tip (5) under
a water jet.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD ESPRESSO
–
Use fresh ground coffee for “espresso” cof-
fee makers.
–
Slightly tamp the ground coffee in the fil-
ter (15), you can do it with the back side of the
measuring spoon (16).
–
Coffee strength depends on the quality and
grinding degree of coffee beans. If coffee
is pouring out too long, this means the cof-
fee powder is too fine or it is tamped too
strongly.
DESCALING
For effective operation of the coffee maker we
recommend removing scale every 2-3 months
and more often when using “hard” water.
1.
Make citric acid solution: 2 teaspoons of acid
to 1 litre of water.
2.
Fill the water tank (2) with the solution. Install
the water tank (2) to its place.
3.
Insert the coffee filter (15) into the holder (7).
4.
Install the filter holder (7) into the coffee
maker. The filter holder (7) ledges should
match the groves on the boiler “
”, after that
turn the filter holder (7) handle to the utmost
right position «

Place a suitable cup on the tray grid (6).
6.
Insert the power plug into the socket.
7.
Switch the coffee maker on by pressing the
button (13) “
”, you will hear a sound sig-
nal, and the blue light indicator will start
flashing.
