button (fig. 3).
IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all
accessories must be washed through by making at
least five coffees without using ground coffee.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the section
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the
filter holder is attached.
NOTE: use pods conforming to the ESE standard,
indicated on the pack by the following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
2.Place the small 1 cup ground coffee or pod filter in
the filter holder, making sure the filter is correctly
inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 7.
3.Insert a pod, centering it as close as possible on the
filter (fig. 12). Always follow the instructions on the
pod packaging to position the pod on the filter
correctly.
4.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 4).
5.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous
section.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the
previous sections, using sufficiently large cups.
2.Press the steam button (fig. 13) and wait for the
steam indicator light to come on (fig. 13). The OK
indicator light indicates that the boiler has reached
the ideal temperature for steam production.
3.In the meantime, fill a container with about 3.5
ounces (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
container, bear in mind that the milk increases in
volume by 2 or 3 times.
NOTE: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE SKIM MILK AT
REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE.
4.Place the container with milk under the cappuccino
frother.
5.Dip the cappuccino frother into the container with
milk (fig. 14), taking care not to immerse the raised
line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the
arrow in fig. 15). Turn the steam knob at least a half
turn counter-clockwise (fig. 16). Steam is given off by
the cappuccino frother, giving the milk a creamy
frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip
the cappuccino frother into the milk and rotate the
container with slow movements from the bottom
upwards.
6.When the required temperature is reached
(140°F/60°C is ideal), interrupt steam delivery by
rotating the steam knob clockwise and at the same time
pressing the steam button (fig. 13).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino
is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the
froth with a little cocoa powder.
Note: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first
make all the espressos then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino frother
after use. Proceed as follows:
1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating
the steam knob (fig. 16). This empties any milk left
inside the steam tube.
IMPORTANT:
it is recommended to follow this
procedure each time you make cappuccino to avoid
milk stagnating in the steam tube.
2.With one hand, hold the steam tube firmly and with
the other unscrew the cappuccino frother itself by
rotating clockwise and pulling downwards (fig. 17).
3.Remove the nozzle from the steam tube by pulling it
downwards (fig. 18).
4.Wash the cappuccino frother and steam nozzle
thoroughly with warm water.
5.Make sure the two holes indicated by the arrows in fig.
19 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
6.Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it onto the
steam tube and rotating firmly towards the top of the
tube.
7.Replace the cappuccino frother by inserting it and
rotating counter-clockwise.
HOT WATER PRODUCTION
1.Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF
button (fig. 3). Wait until the OK indicator light
comes on (fig. 5).
2.Place a container under the cappuccino frother.
3.Press the coffee button (fig. 6) and at the same time
open the steam knob. Hot water is delivered from the
cappuccino frother.
4.To interrupt delivery of hot water, close the steam knob
by rotating clockwise and press the coffee button again
(fig. 6).
