coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 6+6 g) of
pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time to
prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing.
Important: for correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the last time
you made coee.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press gently
down with the presser (g. 12). Correct pressing of the
pre-ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso.
If pressing is excessive, coee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured.
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle rmly to-
wards the right (g. 6) to avoid water leaking out;
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
13). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
6. Make sure the OK light is on (g. 8) (if o, wait until it
comes on), then press the button. Once the required
amount of coee has been delivered, interrupt delivery by
pressing the same button again;
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 appli-
ance is delivering coee.
8. To eliminate the used coee grounds, hold the lter holder
upside down and tap (g. 14).
9. To turn the appliance o, press the button.
5. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING
PODS
1. Preheat the appliance as described in section “3.2 TIPS
FOR A HOTTER COFFEE”, making sure the lter holder is
attached.This obtains a hotter coee.
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
leading pod producers and enables espresso coee to be prepared simply
and cleanly.
2. Place the pod coee lter (C4) ( ) in the lter holder;
3. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the lter (g.
15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to po-
sition the pod on the lter correctly.
4. Attach the lter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (g. 6);
5. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.
6. HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coees as described in the previous
sections, using suciently large cups;
2. Press the button (g. 16) and wait for the OK light
(B6)to come on (g. 17);
3. In the meantime, ll a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.The milk must be
at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or tri-
ples in volume (g. 19);
Please note: You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrig-
erator temperature.
4. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappuc-
cino maker.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on (B6). This indicates that
the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam
production.
6. Open the steambyturningthesteamdialforafew seconds
to eliminate any water in the circuit. Close the steam.
7. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about 5 mm
(g. 13) and turn the steam dial anticlockwise (g. 10).The
milk now starts to increase in volume and take on a creamy
appearance;
8. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-
puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk.
When the required temperature is reached (60°C is ideal),
interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam dial clock-
wise and at the same time press the button;
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the coee
prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten 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
coees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos;
To make coee again after the milk has been frothed, rst cool the
boiler, or the coee will be burnt. To cool, place a container under the
boiler outlet, press the button and deliver water until the OK
light goes o. Press the same button again, then proceed to make cof-
fee.
You are recommended to deliver steam for a
maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth
milk more than three times consecutively.
7. CLEANING THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER AFTER
USE
Important! For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker should always be
cleaned after use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the steam dial to deliver a little steam for a few sec-
onds (points 2, 6 and 7 in section “6. HOW TO PREPARE
CAPPUCCINO”). This causes the cappuccino maker to dis-
charge any milk left inside. Press the button (B1) to
turn the appliance o.
2. Waitafewminutesforthecappuccinomaker tocooldown.
