10. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
10.1 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter espresso coee, you should:
• You are recommended to warm the cups before making
coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
• Attach the lter holder to the appliance with the lter in
place but without adding coee.Using the same cup
as will later be used to make the coee, press the 1 cup
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
• Raise the coee temperature in the settings menu.
• Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4)
which becomes hot during operation.
10.2 How to prepare espresso coee using pre-
ground coee
1. Place the ground coee lter (C2 or C3) in the lter holder
(g. 6).To make one coee, use the lter with the
symbol on the bottom, to make two coees, use the lter
with the symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter (g. 7).To make two
coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 7+7 g) of
pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the
last time you made coee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (g. 8).
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coee is essential to
obtain a good espresso. If you press too rmly, the coee
will be delivered slowly and will be strong. If you press
too lightly, the coee will be delivered quickly and will be
weak.
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach the lter holder to the appliance. To attach cor-
rectly, align the lter holder handle with the INSERT sym-
bol (g. 9), attach the lter holder and rotate the handle
towards the right until aligned with the CLOSE symbol.
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
10).
6. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coee buttons
are on, then press the or coee button. The
appliance proceeds to make the coee and delivery is in-
terrupted automatically.
7. To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Always wait for a few seconds
after delivery.
10.3 How to make espresso coee using pods
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by lead-
ing pod producers and enables espresso coee
to be prepared simply and cleanly.
1. Place the lter for coee pods (with the symbol on
the bottom) in the lter holder.
2. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the lter
(g. 11). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the lter correctly.
Proceed as described in points 4 to 6 in the previous section.
Please note:
• While the appliance is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee but-

11
ton pressed previously. Delivery is automatically interrupt-
ed after a few seconds.
• To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns!
To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Always wait for a few seconds
after delivery.
10.4 Programming the quantities of coee in

11. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coees as described in the previous
sections, using suciently large cups. To use tall glasses,
remove the drip tray and stand the glasses on the glasses
tray (A10);
2. Press the button (g. 12).The light ashes;
3. In the meantime, ll a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. For a denser more
even froth, you must use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). In choosing
the size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles
or triples in volume (g. 13).
4. Make sure the cappuccino maker selection ring (A14) is in
the "CAPPUCCINO" position (g. 14);
5. Wait for the light corresponding to the button to
come on steadily, indicating that the boiler has reached
the ideal temperature to produce steam.
6. Position an empty container under the cappuccino maker
and open the dial for a few seconds to eliminate any air left
in the circuit. Close the dial again.
7. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-
no maker.
8. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk container.
Never immerse the black ring (g. 15). Turn the dial to the
position. Steam is delivered from the cappuccino
maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance (g.
16). To obtain a creamier froth, immerse the cappuccino
maker in the milk and rotate the container with slow up-
ward movements.
9. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60°C) and
froth density is reached, interrupt steam delivery by turn-
ing the steam dial clockwise.
10. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweet-
en to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little
cocoa powder.
Please note:
• to prepare more than one cappuccino, rst make all the
coees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the
cappuccinos;
• to exit the steam function, press any button. The
and lights ash to indicate that the temperature is
too high to make coee (see section "Cooling the boiler”).
You should not deliver steam for more than
60 seconds.
12. MAKING HOT MILK
To make hot milk without froth, proceed as described in the
above section, making sure the cappuccino maker selection
ring (A14) is positioned upwards in the "HOT MILK" position.
13. CLEANING THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER AFTER USE
Important:
For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker should always be
cleaned after use.
Proceed as follows:

19. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UK ONLY
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you
are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure
outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children
might nd it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
Please note: We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or
by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should
only be replaced with a exible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse
recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
Warning - this appliance must be earthed
