INFORMATION FOR USE

FIRST USE

First time use or after a period time of inactivity,

clean the water circuit to flavor the appliance: this

is as easy as preparing a coffee (proceed to the

normal preparation of espresso), do it twice or three-

times putting on the filter holder and not much coffee.

FOR A WARM AND

CREAMY ESPRESSO

Every time you first use the appliance making a cup

of coffee is enough to pre-heat the machine: put

Kamira on the stove leaving the valve (G) in the

horizontal position and the cup under the coffee tube

distribution. Do the operation for 10-15 seconds

setting the burner to maximum.

TO PREPARE SEVERAL CUPS OF

CREAMY COFFEE CONSECUTIVELY

To prepare several coffees consecutively, it is

necessary to cool down the bottom chamber each

time holding it under the water jet. Warning: before

doing it, turn the valve (G) to the vertical position.

PREPARATION WITH FILTER

HOLDER FOR 2 CUPS

With the filter holder for 2 cups you can

prepare two coffees simultaneously or

simply obtain a double coffee.

The preparation of the coffee is the

same as the filter holder for 1 cup, but

in this case you have to top-off the

water tank.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

MAINTENANCE

• Regularly check that all the elements of Kamira

are undamaged, in particular the gasket (D).

•Clean the appliance, only externally, using a normal

dishwashing liquid.

•Keep the location of the gasket clean.

• It is recommended to periodically remove the

limestone that can be in bottom chamber after a

period of using the appliance. You can pour some

vinegar (2 cups) in the bottom chamber through

the water tank. Leave the vinegar for 5-6 hours,

bring the valve lever (G) to the horizontal position

and turn the bottom chamber of the Kamira drain

upside down, at the end repeat the procedure for

the first use.

•Use only original Kamira spare parts.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has been designed for household use only.

The manufacturer is not responsible for commercial usage. Improper

usage or failure to conform to the following instructions would render

the warranty invalid. Do not use the appliance for other purposes.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use by a person responsible

for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not

play with the appliance.

Warming, Kamira is a pressure appliance: do not take off the filter

holder (E) before draining the bottom chamber (Fig. 14). Lack of

the operation described above could cause severe burns to your hand.

After making the coffee, very slowly, turn the lever of the drain

valve (G) to avoid spillage of hot water from the water tank (C) and

danger of burning. During this operation keep the tank top (B) closed

and keep your hand away from it.

Do not use coffee blends that are too fine (specific coffee for the

coffee bar machine), use only the common blend coffee used for the

traditional coffee moka pot.

The appliance is equipped with a safety valve (I); occasional

splashes of steam and whistling are normal and are caused by an

overburden of coffee and the use of a non-blend moka or too much

water in the bottom chamber. Splashes of steam and whistling are

normal occurrences of the safety valve; do not damage the safety

valve to avoid the conditions described.

Always hold the appliance by the thermo handle (A).

Should there be problems with the appliance, avoid repairing the

appliance on your own and contact the service center. The manufacturer

cannot be held responsible for this type of failure.

Leaving Kamira on the stove for extended periods of time can cause

damage to the gaskets and the non-metallic parts.

TIPS FOR USE

•Use water with a low percentage of calcium,

natural water is preferred with a low mineral content. •A possible excessive residual of water in the

boiler could have negative effects on the quality of the espresso: bring the valve (G)to the vertical

position and empty the excessive water turn the appliance upside down.

If the water should not drain, put Kamira on a source of heat for at least 3-4 seconds.
