STEAM DELIVERY
I
l
First, check the water level in the boiler; carry out the pro-
cedure to bring the machine up to pressure. Make
sure that
the lever (1) is in the lower position (rest position). Keep it
there.
L
l
Before heating any kind of hot drink, carefully allow some
steam to come out from the pi
tap knob (4) anticlockwise. T
e by opening the steam
is removes the condensation
accumulated in the boiler and in the pipe. Then open the
knob further, to obtain the required steam delivery, photo L.
l
In order to obtain a large amount of steam, the water in the
boiler must be about half way up the level glass
l
Close the steam tap knob (4) clockwise.
CAPPUCCINO PREPARATION I
l
To obtain frothy milk or cappuccino, put the milk into a high, narrow half-filled. Dip the
steam pipe (12) down to the bottom, slowly open the steam tap knob (4) anticlockwise, and
warm the milk up near to boiling.
l
Raise and lower the alternatively, with the tap open, making the pipe nozzle just touch the
milk surface, for some seconds, until a good froth is achieved. To make the cappuccino, just add
the hot frothy milk into a suitable cup containing the previously prepared coffee.
l
Place the machine on a stable and dry surface.
l
Alwa check the water level in the level glass (5). If th e machine is used with insufficient water,
the e ement may be damaged by overheating (the machine is however fitted by a safety ther-
mostat).
l
When switched on, in addition to heating water, the machine pressurized steam insi-
de the boiler; for safety reasons, keep the machine out of ren’s reach.
l
When the machine is hot, do not touch the boiler (9) nor the group (1 1).
l
Do not open the boiler cap (3) when the machine is operating or under pressure.
l
To remove the cap and refill the boiler, push the switch (6) off, slowly open the steam tap knob
(4) anticlockwise, and wait until all the steam has come out of the steam pipe (12). If the steam
doesn’t flow out regularly, remove the filter holder (10) and slowly raise the lever
(1
to allow
steam and water contained in the boiler to flow through the group. In both cases, it is recom-
mended to use a container to collect the steam and water.
l
After switching the machine off, and while the water in the boiler is cooling down, the lever may
move upwards by itself. This is caused by the drop in pressure in the boiler.
