9 - PREPARATION OF OTHER DRINKS (MILK, CAPPUCCINO
AND OTHER HOT DRINKS)
Warning ! Burns danger ! Some sprinkling of hot water
can arrive at the beginning of the supply.
The endowment tube can reach high temperature: avoid to touch it
directly with the hands.
Before heating any drink, let a small amount of steam out of the ste-
am tube (
10
) carefully. Turn the steam tap knob (
7
) anticlock-wise, to
eliminate any condensation that may have formed inside the boiler.
Pour the liquid to be prepared into a container, immerse the steam
delivery nozzle (
10
) into it and slowly turn the steam tap knob (
7
)
anticlockwise; subsequently open the tap completely, so as to pro-
duce a great outflow of steam and bring the liquid to the boiling
state. To obtain a thick milk froth for cappuccino, we recommend to
use a high and narrow container, only half-filled with milk.Immerse
the steam delivery nozzle (
10
) until you touch the bot-tom of the
container and then bring the milk almost to the boiling state.Move
the container up and down alternatively with the tap open, until you
touch the surface of the milk for a few seconds, until the froth has
formed. To make a cappuccino, add the hot whipped milk to the hot
coffee in the cappuccino cup.
Note: Do not produce steam for more than 60 seconds.
10 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OPERATIONS
10.1 - STEAM DELIVERY NOZZLE CLEANING
To avoid altering the taste of the drinks to be heated and to prevent
the holes of the end part of the steam delivery nozzle getting clog-
ged, clean carefully the nozzle after each use.
10.2 - BREWING UNIT AND JET CLEANING
Remove the filter-holder from the brewing unit. Clean the brew unit
(11) with the brush (16) supplied. Remove the filter (20-21) from the
filter holder (22-23); place the closed filter (24) inside the filter holder
(22-23), pour a spoonful of coffee-machine detergent powder and fit
the filter holder into the brewing unit to be cleaned. Start the brewing
unit using the unit con trol (15) and interrupt the delivery after appro-
ximately 4-5 seconds.
Start and interrupt the delivery alternatively for approximately one
minute, to allow the removal of coffee and scale deposits. Remove
the closed filter (24) and start the delivery system several times to
rinse the unit.
Deliver a few serving of coffees so as to eliminate any unpleasant
taste from the jets and from the brewing unit.
After a long period of hot water stagnation within the pipes, let the
water flow vertically so as to remove any deposit.
10.3 - FILTER AND FILTER-HOLDER CLEANING
Check frequently the filter holes to remove any coffee deposits.
Prepare about a litre of boiling water with four teaspoons of coffe-
emachine detergent in a suitable container, and immerse the filter
ba-skets and filter-holders in this solution for 20-30 minutes; then rinse
thoroughly under running water.
10.4 - DRAIN TRAY CLEANING
Remove the drain tray grid (
8
) and pull out the lower drain tray (
13
)
in order to clean it from coffee powder residues.
10.5 - CASING CLEANING
Use a damp, non abrasive cloth, without alcohol or solvents, to avoid
damaging the sides, the base and any painted parts.
11 - REPLACING THE GROUP GASKET
If, during delivery, the coffee drips out of the edges of the filterholder
(C), this may be caused by the obstruction of the filter-holder
delivery hole, in which case the hole needs to be cleaned; if the
problem persists or, if when fitting the filter-holder into the brewing
unit it significantly moves beyond the unit centre, the group gasket
needs replacing (B).
For the replacement, it is necessary to lever with a screwdriver for
the removal of the seal (B) and the shower (A). After removing the
seal and hand shower, properly clean the seat before reassembling
the new parts.
