Cappuccino and
Espresso Coffee Maker
EC11
Proceed as follows:
- Remove the filter holder from its hook.
- Dissolve one full tea-spoon of decalcifying product (about 8 g.) in 1
measure (14) of warm water (about 220 ml), pour the solution into
the boiler and close the boiler cap.
- Place a container under the coffee dispenser lip (with the filter hol-
der removed), and another container under the steam arm.
- Bring the lever (7) to the pre-heat position (Fig. 5).
- Once the sound signal comes on, wait 2 minutes, then dispense one
cup of water bringing the lever completely forward (Fig. 6).
- Push the lever back to the pre-heat position, and immediately
dispense the steam from the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device (3).
- Repeat the entire procedure once more, ALWAYS following the
steps described in the paragraph “Successive use”.
The decalcifying product remaining in the packet can be stored in a dry
place for the next time you decalcify the coffee maker.
Once finished decalcifying the coffee maker, rinse the boiler well with
fresh water, then run the machine twice successively with only water
so as to remove any trace of acid in the system.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The appliance does not dispense any steam:
- The MAXI CAPPUCCINO device needs cleaning: use a pin to remo-
ve any scale build up inside the hole on the MAXI CAPPUCCINO
(3).
- The water level in the boiler tank is insufficient: refill the boiler tank,
taking the necessary precautions as described in the paragraph
“Successive use” and repeat the steps for dispensing steam.
Coffee leaks out from the sides of the filter holder:
- Probably, too much ground coffee has been placed in the filter, pre-
venting the filter holder from being correctly tightened in its seat:
repeat the operation, this time using the correct amount of coffee.
- There are residues of ground coffee on the seal of the filter holder
seat: clean the seal of the perforated disc with a damp sponge (Fig.
12)
- If the problem persists after you have followed these procedures,
contact an Authorised Assistance Centre.
Coffee is not dispensed, is dispensed too slowly, or is dispensed une-
venly from the dispenser holes:
- It is possible that slow coffee dispensing depends on a lack of water
coming from the perforated disc in the filter holder seat. In fact, it is
