making cappuccino
DO NOT USE POWDERED OR GROUND COFFEE PRODUCTS. YOUR INSTANT
CAPPUCCINO MAKER IS DESIGNED TO USE INSTANT COFFEE GRANULES ONLY.
DO NOT USE ANY BEVERAGE OTHER THAN COFFEE.
To prevent damage, never use your instant cappuccino maker without water.
1. The maximum capacity is 300ml. If the water tank has already been lled there
should be enough water in the machine to make approximately 10 cups of
cappuccino.
2. Plug the unit into the mains and press the power on/off button on the front of the unit.
The power/ready indicator will illuminate orange.
3. Open the coffee chamber cover by pushing the dial locking button and turning the
control dial towards the INSTANT COFFEE position. Make sure that the coffee funnel
dispenser is in place.
4. Add the instant coffee granules using a teaspoon. Only add enough coffee to brew
ONE cup at a time.
5. You can adjust the quantity to suit your own taste.
6. Close the coffee chamber cover by turning the control dial towards STOP.
7. Fill the milk tank with milk up to the level required (number of mugs/cups). DO NOT
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM LEVEL. More milk can easily be added if you wish to
make more drinks.
8. Place the milk tank on the unit. Ensure that the tank is pushed fully back on the unit.
9. Wait for the power/ready indicator to illuminate green/orange.
10. Place a mug or cup under the cappuccino nozzle and turn the control dial to the
CLEAN/GO! position. The machine will start to dispense the cappuccino.
11. When the mug or cup is nearly full turn the control dial to the STOP position. A small
amount of cappuccino will continue to be dispensed as the machine nishes its cycle.
Ensure you have allowed this process to nish after each cappuccino made.
To make further cups of cappuccino add another teaspoon of coffee and repeat steps 8
to 11. The power/ready indicator will change between green/orange and orange as the
machine brings itself back up to temperature. It is perfectly normal for this to happen
whilst making a cappuccino.
After you have completed making all the required cappuccinos, please clean the machine
following the guidelines on page 8.
A small amount of steam may rise up the funnel after the cycle is complete. This is
perfectly normal.

next use.

If the machine has not been used for a long time, or it is excessively dirty, we recommend
that bicarbonate of soda is mixed with the water at step 3 to assist the cleaning process.
If bicarbonate of soda has been used, ush the system again with clean water to remove
any residue.
The coffee funnel dispenser, dispensing nozzle, milk tank, cleaning jug, drip tray and
cleaning tray can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
