Replace it in the coffee maker, making sure that the suction tubes are immersed in the water. Never operate the appliance without water in the tank. imp. 15-01-2003 10:39 Pagina 9 PREHEATING THE APPLIANCE In order to obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, it is absolutely essential to preheat the machine by pressing the main "on/off" switch (Fig. 2) at least half an hour before making the coffee. During this time, make sure that the filter holder is attached to the machine (always ensure that the steam knob is closed). To attach the filter holder, position it under the hot water drip spout with the handle towards the left (see Fig. 3); push upwards and at the same time rotate the handle towards the right; always rotate it decisively. After half an hour, the coffee can be made as described in the next section. Alternatively, it is possible to carry out the preheating quickly by following these steps: 1. Turn on the appliance by pressing the "on/off" switch (Fig. 2). 2. Attach the filter holder to the appliance, without filling it with ground coffee, and position a cup under its spouts. Use the same cup that you will serve the coffee in; in this manner the cup itself will be preheated. 3. Wait until the "OK" pilot light turns on (Fig. 4) and immediately afterwards press the coffee delivery switch (Fig. 5). Let the water exit until the "OK" light goes off; then stop the delivery by pressing the coffee delivery switch again (Fig. 6). 4. Empty the cup, wait until the "OK" pilot light comes on again and repeat the whole operation one more time. in colour. 3. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter and hook the filter holder onto the appliance. Always rotate the filter holder decisively. 4. Position the cup or cups under the spouts of the filter holder (Fig. 8). It is best to preheat the cups by rinsing them under a little hot water. 5. Make sure that the OK pilot light (Fig. 5) is turned on (if it is off, wait until it turns on), then press the coffee delivery switch (Fig. 5) until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained. To stop the flow, press the coffee delivery switch again. 6. To detach the filter holder, wait a few seconds and then turn the handle from right to left. ATTENTION: to avoid squirts, never detach the filter holder while the appliance is dispensing. 7. To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with the special lever that is built into the handle and let the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter holder (Fig. 9). 8. To turn off the coffee maker, press the "On/off" switch (Fig. 2). Attention: the first time that you use the coffee maker, it is necessary to wash all the accessories and the internal circuits, making at least five coffees without using ground coffee. HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO 1. Prepare one or two cups of espresso coffee, making sure to use cups that are large enough for cappuccinos. 2. Press the steam switch (Fig. 10) and wait until the "OK" pilot light comes on (Fig. 4). The turning on of the light means that the hot water generator has reached the ideal temperature for producing steam. 3. In the meantime, fill a container with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be made. The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not warm!). When choosing the container, remember that the volume of the milk will double or triple. 4. Position the container under the cappuccino nozzle. 5. Immerse the cappuccino nozzle into the milk by about 5mm (Fig. 11) and rotate the steam handle in an anti-clockwise direction (fig.12) (by rotating the handle to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to vary the amount of steam that will exit from the cappuccino nozzle). At this point, the milk will begin to increase in volume and will begin to appear creamy. 6. When the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the cappuccino nozzle deeply into the container and 9 HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE 1. After carrying out the preheating of the machine as described in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of espresso coffee, insert the 1cup filter (the smaller of the two provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 6) and fill it with one level measuring spoon of ground coffee ­ about 7 grams. If you wish to prepare two cups of espresso coffee, use the 2-cup filter (the larger of the two provided) and fill it with two less-than-level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 6+6 grams). 2. Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it lightly with the pressing pad (Fig. 7). NOTE: pressing the ground coffee is very important in order to obtain a good espresso coffee. If you press too hard, the coffee will come out slowly and the cream will be dark in colour. If, on the other hand, you do not press enough, the coffee will come out too quickly and the cream will be scarce and light imp. 15-01-2003 10:39 Pagina 10 continue heating the milk (Fig. 13). Then, when the desired temperature has been reached (the optimum temperature is 60°C), close by rotating the steam knob in a clockwise direction (Fig. 12) and turn off the steam switch. 7. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffees that were prepared in advance. The cappuccino is now ready; add sugar as desired and, as an extra option, sprinkle a little powdered chocolate on the top of the froth. IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino nozzle after use. Proceed as follows: 1. By turning the steam knob (Fig. 12), allow a little steam to come out for a few seconds. 3. Unscrew the cappuccino nozzle by turning it in a clockwise direction (Fig. 14) and wash it thoroughly with tepid water. 5. Check that the three holes in the cappuccino nozzle (shown in Fig. 15) are not plugged. If necessary, use a pin to clean them. 7. Clean the steam delivery tube, being careful not to burn yourself. 9. Screw the cappuccino nozzle back on. two coffee filters are not plugged. If necessary, clean the filters thoroughly using hot water and scrubbing them with an abrasive pad. SCALE REMOVAL It is recommended that the appliance be descaled after every 200 cups of coffee, approximately. It is recommended that specific products for descaling of espresso coffee makers be used. These products are usually available in retail stores. If such products are not available, the following steps may be taken: 1. Fill the tank with 1 litre of water. 2. Dissolve 2 dessert spoons (about 30 grams) of citric acid (available in pharmacies) in the water. 3. Press the "On/off" switch and wait until the "OK" pilot light comes on. 4. Make sure that the filter holder is not attached and position a container under the drip spout of the appliance. 5. Press the coffee delivery switch, empty half of the tank and, from time to time, rotate the steam knob and allow a little of the solution to come out. Then stop the flow by pressing the switch again. 6. Allow the solution to sit for about 15 minutes, then start up the delivery again until the tank is completely empty. 7. To eliminate residues of the solution and scale, rinse the tank well, fill it with clean water and insert it back into its seat. Press the coffee delivery switch and let the appliance operate until the tank is completely empty.; 8. Press the switch again and repeat this last operation one more time. Repairs to the appliance that are necessitated by scale problems will not be covered by the guarantee unless the scale removal described above has been carried out on a regular basis. PRODUCING HOT WATER 1. Turn on the appliance by pressing the "on/off" switch (Fig. 2) and wait until the "OK" pilot light comes on (Fig. 4). 2. Position a container under the cappuccino nozzle. 3. Press the coffee delivery switch (Fig. 5) and, at the same time, rotate the steam knob in an anticlockwise direction (Fig. 12); water will come out from the cappuccino nozzle. 4. To stop the flow of hot water, turn the steam knob in a clockwise direction and press the coffee delivery switch. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 1. Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, turn off the appliance, let it cool down and detach the plug from the mains. 2. Never use solvents or abrasive detergents in cleaning the appliance. A soft, moist cloth is sufficient. 3. Clean the following parts on a regular basis: the filter holder, the drip-tray, the water tank and the hot water drip spout. Do not wash the filter holder in the dishwasher. 4. Never immerse the unit in water ­ it is an electrical appliance. 5. From time to time, check that the small holes in the 10 imp. 15-01-2003 10:39 Pagina 11 PROBLEM The espresso coffee is cold.
