when the level drops to a couple of cen-
timetres from the bottom.
w FILL THE TANK with fresh
clean water taking care
not to exceed the MAX
level. Refit the tank.

diately press the coffee knob.
Run the water off until the OK
indicator light goes out, then inter-
rupt delivery by pressing the coffee

1. AFTER PREHEATING the appliance as described
above, place the ground coffee filter
in the filter holder, making sure the
projection is correctly inserted in
the slot. Use the smaller filter to
make one coffee or the larg-
er filter to make two coffees.
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 filter. To prepare two cof-
fees, place two loosely filled
measures (about 6+6 g)
of ground coffee in the fil-
ter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the
ground coffee from overflowing.
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before
adding the ground coffee to the filter holder,
clean the filter from residues of ground coffee
from the previous infusion.
5. PLACE THE CUP or cups under the filter holder
spouts.
You are rec-
ommended to
heat the cups
before mak-
ing the cof-
fee by rinsing
them with a little
hot water.
6. MAKE SURE THE OK LIGHT IS ON
(if off, wait until it comes on),
then press the coffee button.
When the required quantity of
coffee has been run off, press
the same button again. (You should
not run off coffee 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 filter holder while the appliance is deliver-
ing coffee.
8. TOELIMINATE THE USED COFFEE GROUNDS, block
the filter in place using the lever incor-
porated in the handle and empty
the coffee by turning the fil-
ter holder upside down and
tapping.
9. TOTURN THE COFFEE MACHINE OFF,
press the ON/OFF button.
IMPORTANT: the first time the
appliance is used, all accessories
and the internal circuits must be
washed through by making at least
five coffees without using ground coffee.
3. DISTRIBUTE THE GROUND COFFEE evenly and press
lightly with the
presser
NB: Correct
pressing of the
ground coffee
is essen-
tial to
obtain a
good espresso. If pressing is ex-
cessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee
delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be
skimpy and light coloured.
4. REMOVE ANY
EXCESS COFFEE
from the rim
of the fil-
ter hold-
er and
attach the fil-
ter holder to the appli-
ance. Rotate firmly to avoid leaks of
water.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1. PREHEAT THE APPLIANCE as described in the sec-
tion “PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT”, making
sure the filter holder is attached. This obtains a
hotter coffee.
NB: Use pods conforming to the
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 coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
2. PLACE THE SMALL FILTER (1 cup or pods)
in the filter holder, making sure the
projection is correctly inserted in
the slot.
3. INSERT APOD, centring it as far as possible
on the filter. Always follow the instruc-
tions on the pod pack to position the
pod on the filter correctly.
4. ATTACH THE FILTER HOLDER to the appliance. Al-
ways rotate
as far as it will
go.
5. PROCEED AS in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previ-
ous paragraph.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE
1. PREPARE THE ESPRESSO COFFEES as described in
the previous paragraphs, using sufficiently
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, fill 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 coffee 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,
first make all the coffees then at the end pre-
pare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
NB: to make coffee again after the milk has
been frothed, cool down the boiler first or the
coffee will be burnt. To cool it, place a contain-
er under the boiler outlet, press the steam but-
ton and run off water until the OK light goes
out. Make the coffee 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.

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 hy-
giene, you are recommended to follow
this procedure each time you make cappucci-
no 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 firmly 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;
4. TOINTERRUPT DELIVERY OF HOT WATER, close the
steam knob by rotating clockwise
and press the coffee button again.
(You should not run off hot water
for more than 45 seconds at a time).
2. WITH ONE HAND, HOLD THE CAP-
PUCCINO TUBE FIRMLY and with the
other unscrew the cappuccino
maker itself by rotating clock-
wise and extracting downwards.

MAKE SURE the holes in the metal filter are not
blocked. If necessary, clean with a
pin.
Replace the filter and gasket on
the plastic disk. Make sure to in-
