MAKING COFFEE
ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS NOT PLUGGED IN AND PLACE
IT ON A FLAT, LEVEL SURFACE.
Using for the first time
- Open the lid (16) and unscrew the boiler tank safety cap (15) anti-
clockwise.
- Fill the boiler tank completely with water, using the relevant measure
(14).The hole near the safety cap (Fig. 2) allows any excess water
poured in with the measure to fall into the drip tray (5).
- Tighten the boiler tank cap securely, turning it clockwise.
- Dose the ground coffee in the Thermocream® filter (12) using the
relevant measure (9): one dose for one cup of coffee, two doses for
two cups.
The Thermocream® filter (12) has a single hole in its lower
part to guarantee that coffee is dispensed at high pressure
(Fig. 3) which means that the result is a rich, thick cream.
- Add the coffee evenly without pressing it.
- Insert the filter holder into the proper seating, turning it 40-45°
clockwise until it clicks into place (Fig. 4).
WARNING: If you put too much ground coffee in the filter, it may
become difficult to turn the filter holder inside its seat and/or the filter
holder may leak when dispensing coffee.
- Plug the power cord into a mains socket.
- Push the power lever (7) back to the pre-heat position (Fig. 5). The
pre-heat indicator light (8) will switch on.
- While the coffee maker is heating up it is normal for small amounts
of steam to be form around the boiler cap.
- After around 3 minutes, once the temperature has been reached, the
pre-heat indicator light (8) will switch off and the appliance will emit
a sound signal. At this point, the appliance is ready to dispense cof-
fee.
- Place one or two small cups (according to the amount of coffee
used in the filter) below the filter holder.
- Pull the power lever (7) all the way forwards to begin dispensing the
coffee (Fig. 6).
The sound signal may continue even during coffee dispen-
sing.
If coffee dispensing is not begun immediately, the appliance will
continue to emit its sound signal for the entire time that
the water in the boiler tank is at the correct temperature.
In any case, we recommend that you do not wait too long before
dispensing coffee because this could alter the taste, leading to coffee
with a burnt flavour.
