The tank can alternatively be left in place and filled using the drip coffee jug, which also has the level markings (Fig. 3). · Open the filter holder door by turning it to the right (Fig. 4). · Place the permanent filter (if suplied) or paper filter, into the filter holder (fig. 5). · Place the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring spoon supplied, making sure it is uniformly level (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). · Close the filter holder door and place the jug, with the lid on, on the hot plate. · Select the desired flavour as described in the paragraph "HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOUR of the drip coffee" Note: the coffee maker features the Flavour Saver device inside the filter holder for drip coffee; this increases the coffee brewing time and improves extraction, giving the coffee a full and intense flavour. · Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7). The DRIP COFFEE ON light above the switch will come on to indicate that the drip coffee maker is on. · The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is completely normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the coffee is percolating. To keep the coffee hot after percolation, place the jug on the hot plate and leave the machine on (drip coffee light on): the coffee in the jug will be kept at the right temperature. · To switch the machine off, press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF switch. HOW TO SELECT THE AROMA OF THE FILTER COFFEE With the Flavour System , it is possible to select the aroma of the filter coffee depending on personal taste. By turning the aroma regulation knob of the coffee filter (fig. 8), the coffee machine can be programmed for a strong flavour (STRONG position) or a lighter flavour (LIGHT position). The Flavour System feature changes the flavour of the coffee, more or less strong, while the true taste of the coffee remains unchanged. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE FILLING THE WATER TANK: Lift the lid and remove the water tank located on the left (Fig. 1) by pulling it upwards. Fill the tank with cold, clean water. Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom of the tank with the hole in the base on the machine. The tank may also be filled without removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug. Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank and always remember to fill the tank when theatre level goes below 2 cm. PREHEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee maker must be preheated. Turn the selector knob to the position (Fig. 9) at least half an hour before making the coffee, making sure that the filter holder is attached to the appliance (check that the steam release knob is closed). To attach the filter holder, place it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left. Push upwards and at the same time turn the handle as far to the right as possible (fig. 10). To avoid leaks of water, rotate firmly. After half an hour, make coffee following the instructions of the next paragraph. Alternatively, for a faster operation, proceed as follows: 1.Turn the selector knob so that the indented line on the selector knob points to the boiler on function (fig. 9). Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine 2.Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated. 3.Wait until the orange "OK" light comes on (fig. 11) and turn the selector knob to the espresso function position (fig. 12). Allow water to flow until the orange "OK" light goes out, then stop the flow of water by turning the selector knob to the boiler on function (fig. 9). 13 GB 24-06-2004 14:52 Pagina 14 4.Empty the cup, wait until the "OK" pilot light comes on again and repeat the whole operation one more time. (It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off when removing the filter holder). HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE ATTENTION: The first time that coffee is prepared, it is necessary to wash all of the accessories and the internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least five coffees without using the ground coffee. HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted): 1.Preheat the machine as described in the `Preheating the Coffee Machine' section, making sure to leave the filter holder attached to the unit. Following this procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a hotter temperature, as well as guaranteeing that the seal of the filter holder gaskets is more effective. 2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into the filter (fig 19). Always follow the instructions on the package of the wafers for the correct positioning of the wafer in the filter. Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the following symbol: 1.After preheating the appliance as described in the above paragraph, insert the ground coffee filter with frother into the filter holder, making sure the tab is correctly inserted into the housing as shown in fig. 13. 2.To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 14). To prepare two coffees, use the filter and fill with two loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing. Note: use high quality, finely-ground coffee for espresso coffee makers. IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion. 3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it lightly with the pressing pad (fig. 15). NOTE: Pressing the coffee is very important in order to prepare a food coffee. However if you press too hard, coffee will come out slowly and cream will be of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come out too fast and cream will be a very light colour. 4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance. Rotate firmly (fig. 10) to avoid leaks of water. The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply and without any mess. 3.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving from left to right (fig 10). Note: to ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of water from the rim of the filter holder, you are recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig. 20). IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be used after one for ground coffee, it's necessary to clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso boiler outlet (fig 21). This cleaning operation is necessary in order to avoid water leackeges from the coffe holder for pods whele coffee is being preposed. 4.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section on how to prepare espresso. 5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter holder and simply lift the pod out 6.To turn the coffee machine off, turn the selector knob on the appliance to the Off position "O" (fig.18). 5.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by rinsing under hot water) on the removable drip tray. Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the dispensing holes on the filter holder (fig. 16). 6.Wait until the espresso "OK" light comes on (fig. 11) then turn the selector knob to the espresso function (fig. 12) until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained To stop the delivery, turn the selector to the position (fig. 9). 7.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left. To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing coffee. 8.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. 17). 9.To switch off the coffee machine, turn the selector knob on the appliance to the OFF position "O" (fig. 18) 14 HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO 1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large enough for cappuccinos 2.urn the selector knob to the position (fig. 22): the steam light comes on (fig. 22). 3.Wait until the "OK" light comes on (fig. 11) to indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for producing steam. GB 24-06-2004 14:52 Pagina 15 4.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately 100 gr. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times. NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature. 5.Remove the milk frother by pulling it forwards and turning it to the left (Fig. 23): during this operation, avoid touching the boiler outlet, as it is hot. Then position the container with the milk underneath the milk frother. 6.Immerse the cappuccino maker nozzle about 2 cm deep into the milk and turn the steam knob in an anti-clockwise direction, fig. 24 (by turning the knob to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to vary the quantity of steam that comes out from the cappuccino maker). At this point, the milk will begin to increase in volume and to appear frothy. 6.Once the desired temperature has been reached (the ideal temperature is 60°C), stop the delivery of steam by turning the steam knob in a clockwise direction and at the same time positioning the selector knob at "O". 7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee. Your cappuccino is now ready. Add sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little powdered chocolate on top of the froth. Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos. IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows: 1.By turning the steam knob (fig. 24), allow a little steam to come out for a few seconds. 2.Hold the upper part tight with one hand and use your other hand to unscrew the cappuccino maker, rotating it in a clockwise direction, and remove it from the nozzle (fig. 25). 3.Remove the steam nozzle by sliding it off the delivery tube. 4.Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle thoroughly with warm water. 5.Make sure the two holes indicated with an arrow in fig. 26 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin. 6.Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it into the steam delivery tube and rotating firmly (fig. 27). 7.Replace the milk frother by inserting it and rotating anticlockwise (fig. 28). PRODUCING HOT WATER 1.Turn on the coffee unit by turning the selector knob to the position (fig. 11). 2.Position a container under the cappuccino maker. 3.When the `OK' pilot light comes on, position the selector knob at (fig. 12) and at the same time turn the steam knob in an anti-clockwise direction (fig. 24); hot water will come out from the cappuccino maker. 4.To stop the flow of hot water, turn the steam knob in a clockwise direction and position the selector knob at "O" CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 1.Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the coffee maker.
