SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 5 - ENGLISH Please read this instructions manual carefully before installing and using the appliance.

Steam release knob HOW TO PREPARE DRIP COFFEE · Raise the lid and remove the water tank (fig. 1). · Fill the tank with cold, clean water, up to the level indicated on the tank corresponding to the number of cups of coffee that are desired (fig. 2). · Insert the tank into the machine by pressing it slightly. If desired, the tank can be left in its place and to fill it, the drip coffee pot can be used which also has the level indicators on it (fig. 3). · Open the filter holder by swinging it out to the left (fig. 4). · Place the paper filter into the filter holder (fig. 5). We recommend using #4 type paper filters. · Put the ground coffee into the filter by using the measuring spoon included with the machine and level off the grounds uniformly (fig. 6). As a general rule, use one level measuring spoonful of coffee (about 7 grams) for each cup of coffee (for example, use 10 measures to make 10 cups of coffee). In any case, the quantity of ground coffee to use can vary according to the strength desired and personal taste. Use high quality ground coffee, with a medium grind and the kind packaged especially for drip coffee makers. · Close the filter holder and place the pot, with its lid inserted, onto the hot plate. 6 · Select the aroma desired as indicated in the paragraph "How to select the aroma". · Press the "ON/OFF" switch for drip coffee (fig. 7). The ON indicator light for drip coffee above the switch itself indicates that the coffee machine filter is functioning properly. · If more than five cups of coffee are desired, press the switch (with the symbol) (fig. 8) and the indicator light will light up. If, on the other hand, five or fewer cups of coffee are desired, the switch should not be pressed. In this way, the hot water will flow more slowly through the ground coffee and a more flavourful beverage will be obtained. · The brewed coffee will begin to drip out after a few seconds. It is completely normal that during the percolation of the coffee, some steam may escape from the machine. · If you keep "ON/OFF" switch for drip coffee on the ON position after the percolation, the warming plate will maintain the hot coffee at an ideal drinking temperature. HOW TO SELECT THE AROMA OF THE DRIP COFFEE With the ACCUFLAVOR , it is possible to select the aroma of the dripcoffee depending on personal taste. By turning the aroma regulation knob of the coffee filter (fig. 9), the coffee machine can be programmed for a strong flavour (STRONG position) or a lighter flavour (LIGHT position). The ACCUFLAVOR feature changes the flavour of the coffee, more or less strong, while the taste of the coffee remains unchanged. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE 1. Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it in a counter-clockwise direction. 2. Using the level indications stamped on the WATER LEVEL side, fill the small pot with the amount of water suggested (fig. 10) according to the number of cups of espresso coffee that are desired (see the chart at the end of this text). 3. Pour the water into the boiler (fig. 11). 4. Replace the plug in the boiler cap by turning firmly in a clockwise direction. 5. Insert the filter for espresso coffee into the filter holder (fig. 12). 6. Fill the filter with the ground coffee, respecting the dosages indicated in the chart at the end of this text and distribute it uniformly in the filter (fig. 13). It is important to use the highest quality coffee and having a medium grind in order to avoid the obstruction of the filter during the brewing. Remove any excess coffee from around the edges of the filter (fig. 14). 7. To attach the filter holder to the appliance, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left, see fig. 15. Push upwards, and at the same time, turn the handle towards the right. Always turn right to the end. 8. Place the coffee pot for espresso coffee under the filter holder so that the spout where the coffee exits is inside of the opening on the lid of the coffee pot (fig. 16). 9. Position the "Vario System" selector according the type of espresso coffee desired: "LIGHT" for a lighter coffee and "STRONG" for a stronger tasting brew (fig. 17). 10. Make sure that the steam release knob is closed. 11. Push the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cappuccino. The ON/OFF indicator light for espresso/cappuccino will turn on (fig. 18). 12. After approximately two minutes, the espresso coffee will begin to flow out (fig. 19). ATTENTION: to avoid spraying, never detach the filter holder while the machine in brewing coffee. 13. When the coffee no longer flows out from the filter holder, push the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cappuccino to turn off the hot water heater (fig. 18). Pour the coffee into the cups. Before removing the filter holder, it is important to eliminate all of the residual steam from the inside of the boiler to avoid puffs of steam. Allow it to blow out completely by rotating the steam release knob (fig. 20). 14. To dispose of used grounds in the filter, first remove the filter holder by turning the handle to the left. Using the special lever in the handle to keep the filter in place, remove the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down and striking gently. (fig. 21). 7 NOTE: For safety reasons, when the boiler is hot, it is not possible to remove its boiler cap as it will spin without opening. If for any reason it is necessary to remove it, it is important to always release the steam in the boiler by acting on the steam release knob as described in the previous point. surpass the level 2, there will be no water left in the tank to make the steam for frothing the milk. · Pour the coffee into 2 sufficiently large cups. · Pour approximately 100 grams of milk into the container for each cappuccino to be made. It is important to use fresh milk which has not been boiled (not UHT) and especially not preheated. When choosing the container to use for the milk, keep in mind that the frothed milk will increase by two or three times its original volume. · Immerse the frother into the milk by about 5 mm (fig. 25) and turn the steam release knob in a counter clockwise direction, fig. 20 (by turning the knob more or less, it is possible to vary the amount of steam which will come out of the frother tube). At this point, the milk should begin to increase in volume and assume a dense and creamy texture. · When the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the frother deeper into the milk to continue to froth and heat the milk (fig. 26). Turn off the steam knob only after the steam has been completely emptied from the hot water tank: this will keep the milk from remaining trapped inside the steam tube. · Press the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cappuccino to turn off the appliance. · Pour the frothed milk over the coffee, with the aid of a spoon. Then, as a final touch, sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder over the frothy milk to have a perfect cappuccino. · In order to make 4 cappuccinos, it is necessary to repeat the previous operations, paying attention to the quantity of ground coffee and water, indicated in the chart at the end of the text. Furthermore, before positioning the Vario System selector to the Cappuccino position, brew enough espresso coffee into the coffee pot to reach the level 4 on the "COFFEE LEVEL" side as indicated in figure 24. IMPORTANT: The milk frother for cappuccinos must be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Proceed as follows: · Unscrew the milk frothing bit from the tube by turning in a clockwise direction (fig. 27) and HOW TO USE THE TWO CUP ATTACHMENT The attachment allows espresso coffee to drip directly into two cups at the same time. To mount the attachment, fit it to the lower part of the filter holder by attaching the bracket to the handle of the filter holder (fig. 22). CARE BEFORE INITIAL USE: The first time that coffee is prepared, it is necessary to wash all of the accessories and the internal circuits of the machine as follows: · For the drip coffee machine: make at least two pots of coffee with ...
