The machine is designed exclusively for use
with the "Aroma Polti" capsule system. Each
capsule contains just the right amount and
just the right grind to obtain the best espresso
coffee in a few seconds. The wrapper on the
capsule is made of polypropylene, an excel-
lent material for use in contact with foodstuff.
It is hygienic, convenient, and very resistant to
high temperatures.
The capsule system is not only very convenient
and easy to use, it guarantees all the freshness
and aroma of freshly roasted coffee, so that
you can enjoy your favourite blend.

switches (2) and (3); the corresponding in-
dicator lights (7) will come on.
• Functions which may be selected using the

will go.
•CAUTION: the capsule will be automati-
cally pushed into the compartment when
you close the door (12) as far as it will go.
Never push the capsule in with your fingers.
• To make one cup of coffee, press the single
cup switch (4) corresponding to the com-
partment where you have inserted a ca-
psule; if you have inserted it in the third
unit, press the switch (4a).
Press the switch (4)/(4a) again to stop di-
spensing coffee.
• If you want to make three cups of coffee, in-
sert three capsules in the three compart-
ments (11) and press the three-cup button

the tray (15) every time a new capsule is in-
serted in the compartment (11). The used
capsule tray must be emptied frequently to
prevent capsules from obstructing the exit
channel.

Proceed as follows to heat water (for tea,
herbal teas, etc.):
Make sure that the function selector (6) is set
at the position and wait for the “ready” in-
dicator light (10) to come on.
• Place an empty container under the
steam/water dispenser (13).
• Press the dispenser switch (4a), then press
it again when you have obtained the desi-
red amount of water.
CAUTION: Use a tall, narrow container to
prevent spilling of hot water and scalding.

• Cappuccino is an emulsified combination of
espresso coffee and milk.
• To obtain best results and prevent scalding
with steam and hot milk, steam the milk in a
tall, narrow container.
Caution: the metal parts of the steam wand
may become very hot during use of the appli-
ance and remain hot afterwards.
Make sure that the function selector (6) is set
to the position and wait until the “ready”
indicator light (10) comes on.
• Make espresso as described in the “making
coffee” section, using a cappuccino cup.
• Immerse the steam/water dispenser (13)
about 3 cm into the milk and work the di-
spenser switch (4a). Keep the dispenser at
least 3 cm under the surface of the milk
while foaming the milk, but do not allow it to
touch the bottom of the container as this
would stop steam from coming out, and
make sure that the little hole at the top of
the dispenser is free and not immersed in li-
quid.
• When you have finished foaming the milk,
press the switch (4a) again and remove the
dispenser from the milk.
Important! Do not remove the dispenser
from the milk until you have finished di-
spensing steam.
IMPORTANT: If you wish to make a cup of
espresso with the third unit immediately after
using the steam function, you must first let the
appliance cool down to the right temperature.
If you attempt to make coffee immediately af-
ter using steam, the appliance will not make
coffee until it has cooled down to the right
temperature for making coffee. You must
therefore wait a few minutes for the tempera-
ture to cool down or let the hot water out as
follows:
• Place a tall, narrow container under the wa-
ter/steam dispenser.
• Set the function selector (6) to water.
• Dispense hot water by pressing the switch
(4a); the “ready” indicator light (10) will start
flashing.
• As soon as the indicator light (10) stays on
steadily, you may make coffee if you set the
function switch (6) to coffee.
It is a good idea to clean the steam/water
dispenser (13) after each use as described
in the “maintenance” section.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• If you use a function requiring a certain
operating temperature, and then switch to
another function requiring a lower operating
temperature, the “ready” indicator light (10)
will flash until the appliance reaches the ap-
propriate temperature for the selected func-
tion. Only at this point will the indicator light
stop flashing.
• It is important to turn off the switch (4a)
before switching from one function to
another.

If the water level in the tank is low, the indica-
tor light (9) will come on. To continue working,
fill it again as described in the “Preparation”
section.

• Always unplug the appliance before perfor-
ming any maintenance work.
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or deter-
gents which could damage the plastic sur-
face.
•After each use session, use the empty
capsules provided in the package to
clean the infusion parts of the ap-
pliance. This must not be done with the
same capsule more than five times. When
you have used up all the capsules supplied
(about 10 cleaning cycles), you can use a
used coffee capsule, by simply removing
the paper seal and emptying and cleaning
the capsule. Cleaning operations are
performed in the same way as making cof-
fee, using the amount of water contained in
an espresso cup.
RECOMMENDATION: Place a container un-
der the outlet to collect the water.
• Periodically empty out the used
capsule/drip tray (15) and clean it, remo-
ving it from its housing (fig. B). Proceed as
described below to clean the steam/water
dispenser (13):
• Pull the plastic part of the steam dispenser
downward and remove it. Clean it, elimina-
ting residues of the beverage heated.
• Immerse the steam/water dispenser (13) in
a small amount of water in a tall, narrow
container.
• Dispense water as described in the “hea-
ting water” section, dispensing water for
about 5 seconds to clean the circuit inside
the machine.
• Check to see if the hole at the top of the di-
spenser and the water/steam hole are
blocked up. If so, free them with a needle.
CAUTION: Be very careful when cleaning
the steam/water dispenser, as its parts may
become very hot.
