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 cof-
fee in a few seconds. The wrapper on the capsule is made of
polypropylene, an excellent material for use in contact with food-
stuff. It is hygienic, convenient, and very resistant to high tem-
peratures.
The capsule system is not only very convenient and easy to use,
it guarantees all the freshness and aroma of freshly roasted cof-
fee, so that you can enjoy your favourite blend.

• Always unplug the appliance before performing any mainte-
nance operations.
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth only.
Never use solvents or detergents, as they could damage the
plastic surface.

infusion parts of the machine at least once every 2 or 3 days.

drink.

every 500/600 cups (about every 3 to 4 months, if you make
an average of 6 cups of coffee a day).

from its housing.
