diately press the coee knob.
Run the water o until the OK
indicator light goes out, then
interrupt delivery by pressing the
coee button again.
4. EMPTY THE CUP. Wait until the OK

small and harmless pu of steam to be given
o when removing the lter holder).
REMOVE THE WATERTANK by pulling it out (to-
wards the front).
NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT WATER IN
THE TANK and always remember to top up

is attached to the appliance (check
that the steam knob is closed).
TOATTACH THE FILTER HOLDER, position it under the
boiler outlet
with the han-
dle towards

push it
upwards
and at the
same time rotate the

1. AFTER PREHEATING the appliance as described
above, place the ground coee lter
in the lter holder, making sure the
projection is correctly inserted in
the slot. Use the smaller lter to
make one coee or the larg-
er lter to make two coees.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR
GROUND COFFEE
2. TOMAKE ASINGLE COFFEE ONLY, place one level
measure (about 7 g) of ground cof-
fee in the lter. To prepare two cof-
fees, place two loosely lled
measures (about 6+6 g)
of ground coee in the l-
ter. Fill the lter a little at a time to prevent the
ground coee from overowing.
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before
adding the ground coee to the lter holder,
clean the lter from residues of ground coee
from the previous infusion.
5. PLACE THE CUP or cups under the lter holder
spouts.
You are rec-
ommended to
heat the cups
before making
the coee by
rinsing them
with a little hot wa-
ter or placing them to warm on
the top plate for at least 15 - 20 minutes.
6. MAKE SURE THE OK LIGHT IS ON
(if o, wait until it comes on),
then press the coee button.
When the required quantity of
coee has been run o, press
the same button again. (You should
not run o coee for more than 45
seconds at a time).
7. TOREMOVE THE FILTER HOLDER, rotate the handle
from right to left.
IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove
the lter holder while the appliance is deliver-
ing coee.
8. TOELIMINATE THE USED COFFEE GROUNDS, block
the lter in place using the lever incor-
porated in the handle and empty
the coee by turning the l-
ter holder upside down and
tapping.
9. TOTURN THE COFFEE MACHINE OFF,
press the ON/OFF button.
IMPORTANT: the rst time the
appliance is used, all accessories
and the internal circuits must be
washed through by making at least
ve coees without using ground coee.
3. DISTRIBUTE THE GROUND COFFEE evenly and press
lightly with the
presser
NB: Correct
pressing of the
ground coee
is essen-
tial to
obtain a
good espresso. If pressing is ex-
cessive, 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 COFFEE
from the rim
of the l-
ter hold-
er and
attach the l-
ter holder to the appli-
ance. Rotate rmly to avoid leaks of
water.

tion “PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT”, making
sure the lter holder is attached. This obtains a
hotter coee.

ESE standard indicated on the
pack with the following logo:
THE ESE STANDARD is a system ac-
cepted by leading pod producers
and enables espresso coee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
2. PLACE THE SMALL FILTER (1 cup or pods)
in the lter holder, making sure the
projection is correctly inserted in
the slot.
3. INSERT APOD, centring it as far as possible
on the lter. Always follow the instruc-
tions on the pod pack to position the
pod on the lter correctly.
4. ATTACH THE FILTER HOLDER to the appliance. Al-
ways rotate
as far as it will
go.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE
1. PREPARE THE ESPRESSO COFFEES as described in
the previous paragraphs, using suciently
large cups.
2. PRESS THE STEAM BUTTON and wait
for the OK light to come on. This in-
dicates that the boiler has reached
the ideal temperature for steam
production.
3. INTHE MEANTIME, ll a recipi-
ent 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 triples
in volume.
NB: YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE
SEMISKIMMED MILK AT REFRIGERATOR
TEMPERATURE.
4. PLACE THE RECIPIENT containing the
milk under the cappuccino maker.
7. POUR THE FROTHED MILK into the cups contain-
ing the espresso coee prepared previously.
The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and,
if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa
powder.
NB: To prepare more than one cappuccino,
rst make all the coees then at the end pre-
pare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
NB: to make coee again after the milk has
been frothed, cool down the boiler rst or the
coee will be burnt. To cool it, place a contain-
er under the boiler outlet, press the steam but-
ton and run o water until the OK light goes
out. Make the coee as described in the previ-
ous paragraphs.
5. DIP THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER into
the milk for about 5 mm and
turn the steam knob anti-
clockwise, taking care not to
immerse the raised line on the
cappuccino maker (indicated by
the arrow).
Turn the steam knob at least a half turn anti-
clockwise. Steam is discharged from the cap-
puccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy
appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the
cappuccino maker into the milk and rotate the
container with slow movements from the bot-
tom upwards.
6. WHEN THE REQUIRED TEMPERATURE
IS REACHED (60°C is ideal), interrupt
steam delivery by rotating the
steam knob clockwise and at the
same time pressing
the steam button.
9
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino
maker after use. Proceed as follows:
1. DISCHARGE ALITTLE STEAM for a few seconds by
rotat-
ing the
steam
knob.
This
emp-
ties any
milk left
inside the
steam spout.
IMPORTANT: To ensure hygiene,
you are recommended to follow this pro-
cedure each time you make cappuccino to
avoid milk stagnating in the milk circuit.
3. REMOVE THE NOZZLE from the steam
tube by pulling it downwards.
4. WASH THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER and
steam nozzle thoroughly with warm
water.
5. MAKE SURE the two holes shown
in are not blocked. If necessary,
clean with a pin.
6. REPLACE THE STEAM NOZZLE by in-
serting it onto the steam tube
and rotating rmly towards the
top of the tube.
7. REPLACE THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER by
inserting it and rotating anticlockwise.
HOT WATER PRODUCTION
1. TURN THE APPLIANCE ON by pressing
the ON/OFF button. Wait until the
OK indicator light comes on.
2. PLACE ARECIPIENT under the cappuccino mak-
er.
3. PRESS THE COFFEE BUTTON and at the same time
turn the steam knob anticlockwise.
Water comes out of the cappucci-
no maker;

steam knob by rotating clockwise
and press the coee button again.
(You should not run o hot water
for more than 45 seconds at a time).
