STEAM PIPE'S USE
To use the steam it is necessary to turn the
steam tap anticlockwise: a steam's flux regula-
tion is possible when coming out from the
pipe.
When the steam comes out, do not touch the
pipe with any of parts of your body nor put
your hands under the pipe.
WARNING! D
ANGER OF BURNING
To get the cream when warming the milk, dip
the steam pipe at the bottom of the container
for its 3/4 (preferably in a truncated- conic
shape). When the milk boils, move the steam
pipe to the surface skimming the milk with
small vertical movements to get the cream you
want. At the end of each operation, remember
to clean carefully the steam pipe using a wet
cloth.
USE OF HOT WATER
To use hot water it is enough to turn the hot
water tap anticlockwise.
When hot water comes out, do not touch with
the parts of your body nor put your hands
under the pipe.

ESPRESSO COFFEE PREPARATION
Unfasten the filter holder from the group and
put one or two quantities of grounded coffee
according to the filter you are using; press the
coffee using the appropriate small press sup-
plied with the kit and before fastening the fil-
ter-holder to the group, clean the ring edge of
the filter to take off possible coffee remains
that could also damage the perfect grip of the
group and the filter-holder.
Then insert the filter-holder in the group,
fastening it; push the lever down until its end
of run. Wait some seconds for a possible pre-
infusion of the coffee delivery. Start the lever's
coming up and pay attention that your body
does not obstruct the lever's way.
Only remove the filter holder when the lever
has returned to its original position
BODY CLEANSING
To keep unchanged the machine's characteri-
stics in time, you have to clean it quite often.
Do not use any detergent product, use only a
soft clean sponge and some water.
Possible body oxidation is normal, as it is
made of brass or natural copper (according to
the model).
