outlet for 10-15 seconds by turning the
steam control knob 180 degrees and
turning the coffee switch to ON, letting
the water run through for about 10-15
seconds (fig.2).
• For an effective pre-wash, repeat this
operation at least five or six times.
The machine is now ready for use.
Positioning the filter-holder
To correctly slot the filter-holder (M) into
the machine, place it under its slot (L) and
press upwards while simultaneously
turning to the right (fig. 3).
5. HOW TO PREPARE
THE PERFECT ESPRESSO
• Always use cold water and keep the
deposit clean.
• Before making your espresso, always
wait until the OK pilot light goes off, as
this indicates that the water has
reached the ideal temperature.
• Before making your coffee, heat the cup
and filter-holder.
• You can do this under the hot water tap,
or in the following way:
• Turn the machine on using the on/off
switch (F) and slot the filter-holder (M)
into position (L). Wait until the
temperature OK pilot light switches off,
turn the coffee switch to ON and let the
hot water filter through for a few
seconds.
• Turn the coffee switch off and remove
the filter-holder. The machine is ready
for use.
We recommend that you carry out this
operation (letting water run through an
empty filter) even when you wish to
make coffee after having used the steam
option. An empty cycle brings the
machine up to a temperature that is ideal
for making the perfect cup of coffee.
In order to obtain the best results from
your coffeemaker, use a high quality, dark-
roasted, well ground coffee. You should
use finely ground coffee in this machine.
Instructions
• Turn the machine on using the on/off
switch and wait until the temperature
OK pilot light goes out.
• A few drops of water may come out of
the filter-holder slot. This is completely
normal and does not indicate that the
machine is faulty.
• Fit the filter into the filter-holder and
add 1 or 2 measures of ground coffee
(one measure per cup). Press down
gently with the measurer to flatten (fig.
4) and then remove excess grains from
the rim of the filter.
• Slot the filter-holder into the machine
as indicated above.
• Place the pre-heated cup/s underneath
the filter-holder outlets and when the
temperature OK pilot light switches off,
turn the coffee switch to ON (fig. 5).
When the cup/s have been filled to the
required level, turn the coffee switch to
the OFF position.
• Do not leave used coffee in the filter-
holder, always remove after use.
• If you do not plan to use the machine
for an extended period, switch it off,
unplug it and empty the water deposit
and drip tray (Q).
The next time you switch the machine on,
carry out a pre-wash as indicated above.
6. HOW TO PREPARE A
CAPPUCCINO
• Use a metal recipient, preferably high
and narrow. Fill it with cold milk to no
more than 1/3 of its capacity in order to
avoid spillage.
• Turn the coffeemaker on using the
on/off switch.
• After a few minutes the temperature OK
pilot light will switch off, indicating that
the water in the deposit has reached
the optimum temperature.
