Making a Cappuccino Coee
• Prepare your espresso coee as detailed
above in ‘Making Espresso Coee’ .Make sure
the cup is big enough to accommodate both
the coee and the frothed milk.
• Make sure that the Steam Control Knob (2) is
at the ‘0’ position.
• Press the Steam Buon( ) , until the Steam
Indicator light (D) illuminates green.
• Fill a jug with about 100 ml of milk for each
prepared cappuccino, recommend to use full
cream milk at refrigerator temperature (not
hot).
• In order to get beer milk foam performance,
open Steam Control Knob(2) for
approximately 15 seconds without puing it in
the milk yet. This will clear out any cold water
in the system. Then put the Steam Control
Knob(2) back to ‘0’ position and conduct the
next step.
• Insert the Steam Wand (4) into the milk about
2 cm depth, then turn the Steam Control
Knob(2) slowly anti-clockwise. Steam will
come out from the Steam Wand (4).
• Frothed milk is produced by moving jug in
circular motion while the Steam wand(4) is
submerged in the milk.
Warning: Never touch the steam outlet
during steam venting and be careful not
to get burnt.
Note: Always turn the Steam Control
Knob (2) slowly to release the steam in a
controlled manner.
• When frothing the milk is complete, you can
turn the Steam Control Knob (2) back to the
‘0’ position. The best temperature for frothed
milk is 70°C, so take care as there will be
plenty of steam coming from it.
• After frothing the milk, put an empty jug under
the Steam Wand (4), then turn on the Steam
Control Knob (2) and press down the Coee
Buon( ) to the lower position, this will
allow hot water to flow from the steam nozzle,
operate for approximately 30 seconds, then
turn it o again. This will clean out the steam
tube.
• Press and release the On/O Buon( ) to
switch the machine o.
• Pour the frothed milk into the espresso coee
you prepared, now the cappuccino is ready.
• Sweeten if desired and sprinkle the froth with
a lile cocoa powder.
Note: If the steam outlet becomes
blocked: Turn the steam knob to ‘0’
position and allow the coee machine
to cool down for about half an hour, then
poke the steam outlet several times
with a needle about 1mm in diameter
until it clears. Finally, press down the
Steam Buon( ) and turn on the
Steam Control Knob (2) to check if the
appliance can produce steam normally
when the Steam Indicator (D) green
illuminates. Finally, when cool clean the
steam outlet with damp cloth.
Note: After steaming, we recommend
you allow the machine to cool down for
at least for 5 mins before making coee
again. Otherwise a burnt odor may
manifest itself in your espresso coee.
If you want to make more coee immediately:
• Press and release the Steam Buon( ) to
the ‘O’ position; dip the Steam Wand(4)
into a cup, Press the Coee Buon( ) the
‘On’ position and turn on the Steam Control
Knob(2) and there will be water flowing from
Steam Wand(4); after the Coee Indicator(E)
goes out, press and release the Coee Buon(
) to the ‘O’ position, then turn the Steam
Control Knob (2) to ‘0’ position. When the
Coee Indicator(E) illuminates, you can start
to make coee again.
Automatic power ‘O’ function
• The coee machine will turn itself o
automatically 25 minutes after pressing the
On/O( ) buon.
Keep Warm Function

momentarily by placing the coee cup on the Top
warm plate.
Empty Drip Tray
Has xed a red indicator floater in the drip tray,
you should empty the drip tray once the indicator
was floated up.
Take out drip tray plate and then lift up drip tray
from the unit, empty water with coee residual.
Re-x the drip tray with it’s plate.

De-scaling your Espresso Coee
Machine
When tap water is heated, calcium and other
mineral deposits aach themselves to the inside
of your coee machine. Excessive limescale build
up will damage the coee machine, the steam
tube is particularly vulnerable to blockage and
should be cleaned regularly. We recommend
using boled water or ltered water. If you cannot
do this and use water straight form the tap, then
it is necessary to de-scale the coee machine
regularly. Do no use vinegar but a commercially
available decalcication agent, carefully follow
the quantities recommended in the instructions
of the agent.
How to de-scale:
To make sure your coee machine can operate
eiciently the internal piping must be cleaned.
You should clean away the mineral deposits left
every 4 weeks - if you live in a hard water area
every 2 weeks. Beer still, just use boled water
and none of this will be necessary.
• Fill the Water Tank (7) with water and
de-scaler to the ‘MAX’ level.
• Follow the steps as detailed in ‘Pre-heating’
above.
• Press the On/O Buon( ) to turn on the
unit, the Power Indicator(F) (red) will be
illuminated, press the Coee Buon(B) ,
make sure the Steam Buon( ) is in the o
position, when there is water flowing out, shut
o the water pump by pressing the Coee
Buon(B) again, and wait for a moment. The
coee machine will begin to heat.
• The green Coee Indicator light (E) will
illuminate to show when heating has nished.
• Press down the Coee Buon( ) and allow
water to flow through, then shut o the water
pump and wait for 5 seconds.
• Press the Steam Buon( ) , and wait
until the green Steam Indicator light (D)
illuminates. Make steam for 2 minutes, then
turn the Steam Control Knob (2) to the ‘0’
position to stop making steam.
• Press the On/O Buon( ) to turn o the
unit immediately, leave the de-scaler in the
unit for at least 15 minutes.
• Empty the tank and rell with clean water.
Restart the unit and repeat the above steps at
least 3 times with clean water.
Care and Cleaning
Always Switch o and unplug the appliance
before cleaning.
• Empty any water that may be inside the coee
machine by turning on the steam function for
approximately 2-3 minutes, or until steam no
longer comes from the Steam Nozzle.
• Unplug from the mains and allow coee
machine cool down completely before
cleaning.
• Clean housing of coee machine with damp
cloth and clean water tank.
• Wash the drip tray and removable drip tray
plate regularly, then dry thoroughly.
• Never immerse the housing in water for
cleaning.
• Immediately remove the plastic funnel over
the steam nozzle by turning it gently after use,
wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the metal tube with a damp cloth, dry
and replace the plastic funnel.
• Wash the measuring spoon with tamper in
warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Note: Clean the appliance after every
use in order to keep it in good working
order.
Note: Do not allow water to sit in the
tank, empty the tank after every use.
