HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted)
1.Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating
the Coffee Machine’ section, making sure to leave
the filter holder attached to the unit. Following this
procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a
hotter temperature.
2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into
the filter (fig 14). Always follow the instructions on
the package of the wafers for the correct positioning
of the wafer in the filter.
Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard:
this will be indicated on the packaging by the following
symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading
coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee
to be prepared simply and without any mess.
3.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving
from left to right (fig 5).
Note: to ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of
water from the rim of the filter holder, you are
recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs
from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig. 15).
IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be
used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to
clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso
boiler outlet
(fig. 16).
This cleaning operation is
necessary in order to avoid water leackeges from
the coffe holder for pods whele coffee is being
preposed.
4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the previous
paragraph (how to prepare espresso coffee using the
filter holder for ground coffee).
5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter
holder and simply lift the pod out
6.To turn the coffee machine off, turn the selector knob on
the appliance to the Off position “O” (fig 13).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large
enough for cappuccinos
2.Turn the selector knob to the position (fig. 17)
and wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig. 6) to
indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal
temperature for producing steam.
3.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately
100 gr. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not
warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that
the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.
NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
4.Position the container with the milk in it under the
milk frother (fig 18).
5.Immerse the cappuccino maker nozzle about 2 cm
deep into the milk and turn the steam knob in an
anti-clockwise direction (fig. 17) (by turning the knob
to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to vary the
quantity of steam that comes out from the cappuccino
maker). At this point, the milk will begin to increase
in volume and to appear frothy.
6.Once the desired temperature has been reached (the
ideal temperature is 60°C), stop the delivery of steam
by turning the steam knob in a clockwise direction
and at the same time positioning the selector knob at
“O” (fig. 13).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee. Your cappuccino is now ready. Add
sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little
powdered chocolate on top of the froth.
Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first
make all the coffees then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam
nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows:
1.By turning the steam knob (fig. 19), allow a little
steam to come out for a few seconds. Then close
firmly by turning clockwise.
2.Hold the upper part tight with one hand and use your
other hand to unscrew the cappuccino maker,
rotating it in a clockwise direction, and remove it
from the nozzle (fig. 20).
3.Remove the steam nozzle by sliding it off the delivery
tube.
4.Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle
thoroughly with warm water.
5.Make sure the two holes indicated with an arrow in
fig. 21 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a
pin.
