Coffee Maker EC160
Before use
Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as
that indicated on the technical information plate of the appliance.
Place the appliance on a flat surface, ensuring the suction cups stick
firmly to the surface. Fill the tank with cold water taking care that
it is correctly re-inserted in its housing (Fig. 1). Insert the plug into
the socket, which must be earthed. Press the switch (O) to start
the machine. Indicator lights (P) and (R) will come on, indicating
respectively that the machine is on and that the internal boiler has
begun to heat up. Press the coffee supply switch (Q) until water is
seen coming from the filter ring (Fig. 2).
If you are starting the machine for the first time or after
a period of time during which it has not been used, it is
recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed
to pass through the boiler’s hydraulic circuit. This can be
achieved by turning knob (N) in an anti-clockwise direction after
placing a cup under the nozzle of the MAXI CAPPUCCINO at-
tachment (D). Then close knob (N) by turning it in a clockwise
direction and switch of the coffee supply switch (Q) to stop water
being emitted.
THE MACHINE IS READY TO MAKE COFFEE WHEN THE INDI-
CATOR LIGHT (R) GOES OUT.
How to make coffee
Measure out the coffee into the filter: for two coffees use two full
measures and for one coffee, one measure.
The Thermocream® system has been specially designed to best
meet all of the consumer’s needs, and is made up of two compo-
nents: the Thermocream® filter (I) and the Thermocream® disk
(H) that can be used in the following ways:
- By putting them both into the filter holder, you get a cup of cof-
fee with finer cream (Fig. 4b)
- By using only the filter (I), you get a cup of coffee with higher
cream (Fig. 4a)
Insert the filter holder into its position. Turn the filter holder
anticlockwise 40 to 45 degrees as far as it is possible, without using
excessive pressure (Fig. 3). A preheating time of 8/10 minutes is
suggested, with the filter ring inserted so this too can be heated as
to ensure a nice, hot first cup of coffee. For subsequent coffees this
will not be necessary.
The coffee indicator light (R) will go on and off from time to time,
indicating that the boiler thermostat is keeping the water at the
right temperature. We suggest that both the first and the subse-
quent coffees only be made when this light goes out.
Press the central button (Q). Coffee will begin to flow the filter
