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. - 6 Read this instruction booklet carefully before installing and using the appliance. This is the only way to ensure the best results and maximum safety for the user. · DESCRIPTION (see page 3) The terminology below will be used repeatedly on the following pages. 1 Cup storage tray 2 Steam knob 3 Water level indicator 4 Power cord 5 Water tank 6 Patented cappuccino system frother 7 Steam tube 8 ON/OFF button 9 Coffee/hot water button 10 Steam button 11 ON/OFF button indicator light 12 Preheating completed indicator light 13 Steam selected indicator light 14 Patented ground filter holder 15 Ground coffee filter 16 Tamper 17 Boiler outlet 18 Pod filter (if included) 19 Pod filter holder (if included) 20 Measuring scoop 21 Removable drip tray 22 Removable cup support 23 Cup tray bars · · · · · other use is considered improper and thus dangerous.

Any 7 HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE FILLING THE WATER TANK Remove the tank by pulling sideways and lifting intake tubes out of the water (fig. 1). Rinse and fill with clean cold water (fig 2). Check water level by viewing the floating ball. Replace tank in the housing, making sure the tubes are in water. Fill the tank by extracting it just enough to pour in water directly from a jug. the the the the the PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee machine must be preheated. You are therefore recommended to press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3) at least 15 minutes before preparing the espresso, making sure the filter holder is attached to the appliance (check that the steam knob is closed). To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (fig. 4), push it upwards while at the same time rotating the handle towards the right. Rotate firmly. Wait for 15 minutes, then make the coffee as described in the following chapter. Alternatively, you can preheat more rapidly by proceeding as follows: 1.Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3) and attach the filter holder to the appliance without adding ground coffee. 2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it. 3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 5), then immediately press the coffee knob (fig. 6). Run the water off until the OK indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by pressing the coffee button again (fig. 6). 4.Empty the cup, detach the filter holder and empty out the hot water. (It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be emitted when removing the filter holder). HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE PATENTED FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE 1.After preheating the appliance as described in the paragraph above, place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder. Make sure the tab is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 7 otherwise you will not be able to attach the filter holder to the appliance. 2.To make one espresso only, place one level measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (0.24 oz), in the filter (fig. 8). To prepare two espressos, place two loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g - 0.42 oz) in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing. IMPORTANT: to ensure correct operation, before placing the ground coffee in the filter holder, clean the filter of residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion. 3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and tamp lightly with the tamper (fig. 9). Note: Correct tamping of the ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If tamping is excessive, espresso delivery will be slow and the crema will be dark. If tamping is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light colored. 4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach to the appliance. Rotate firmly (fig. 4) to avoid water leaking out. 5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig. 10). You are recommended to heat the cups before making the coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water or placing them to warm on the storage tray for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 29). 6.Make sure the OK indicator light (fig. 5) is on (if it is off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee button (fig. 6). Once the required quantity of espresso has been obtained, interrupt delivery by pressing the same button again (fig. 6). 7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from right to left. IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering espresso. 8.To dispose of the used coffee, block the filter in place using the lever incorporated in the handle then empty the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down and tapping (fig. 11). 9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3). IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all accessories must be washed through by making at 8 least five coffees without using ground coffee. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE POD FILTER HOLDER (IF INCLUDED) 1.Preheat the appliance as described in the paragraph "PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the filter holder is attached. This prepares a hotter espresso. 2.Press the filter holder button and insert a pod, centering it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 12). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly. Note: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack by the following symbol: HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO 1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups. 2.Press the steam button (fig. 15) and wait for the steam indicator light to come on (fig. 5). The OK indicator light indicates that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production. 3.In the meantime, fill a container with about 100 grams (3.5 oz.) of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 or 3 times. NOTE: YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE SKIM MILK AT REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE. 4.Place the container with milk under the cappuccino frother. 5.Dip the cappuccino frother into the container with milk (fig. 16), taking care not to immerse the raised line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the arrow in fig. 17). Turn the steam knob at least a half turn counter-clockwise (fig. 18). Steam is given off by the cappuccino frother, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino frother into the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom upwards. 6.When the required temperature is reached (60°C/140°F is ideal), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise and at the same time pressing the steam button (fig. 15). 7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprin ...
