NOTE: Each level of the milk reservoir indicates the
quantity of milk necessary to make one cappuccino.
NOTE: When using small cups, to prevent the milk
from splashing out, fit the splash hood onto the milk
reservoir spout (Fig. 29).
9.When you have finished, turn the appliance off by
pressing the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFF
button.
Important: After making the last cappuccino and
before turning the appliance off, raise the milk
intake tube above the level of any milk left (as
shown in Fig. 30) and let the steam vent for a few
seconds. Close the steam knob with the tube raised
as described above. To ensure hygiene, we
recommend that you always follow this procedure
to prevent milk from stagnating in the internal
circuits of the machine.
10.To make four cappuccinos, repeat the previous steps,
paying attention to the quantity of water, milk and
ground coffee indicated in the table at the end of the
instructions. Before positioning the Vario System
selector in the Cappuccino position, let the coffee
drip into the carafe until it reaches level 4 on the
COFFEE LEVEL side (as shown in Figure 31).
NOTE: When pouring milk into the reservoir, never
exceed level 4; otherwise the milk may continue to
drip from the spout after you have finished making
the cappuccino.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before carrying out any cleaning operations, let the
appliance cool down and unplug it from the mains
outlet.
• Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is an
electrical appliance.
• Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean
the appliance. A soft damp cloth is sufficient.
• Clean the filter-holder, drip tray, boiler outlet,
carafe and water tank regularly. Never wash the
filter-holder in the dishwasher.
• From time to time, check to make sure that holes in
the espresso coffee filter are not obstructed. If
necessary, clean using a pin (see Fig. 32).
• Check the Flavor Savor periodically, removing it
from the filter-holder cone by pulling it upwards
(Fig. 33). Clean it thoroughly and replace.
CLEANING THE MILK RESERVOIR AND
FROTHER
The milk reservoir and frother must be cleaned after
every use. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the milk reservoir by pressing catch A (Fig.
34) and at the same time pulling the reservoir
upwards.
2. Remove the red frother by pressing catch B and at
the same time pulling the frother upwards (Fig. 34).
3. Remove the rubber mixer (Fig. 35).
4. Wash the reservoir, frother and mixer thoroughly
with hot water.
Make sure the four holes on the frother (Fig. 36), in
particular the holes indicated by the arrows (C), are
not obstructed. If necessary, clean using a
toothpick.
5. Once clean, re-assemble all the components
correctly.
In particular, make sure the rubber mixer is fully
inserted and the milk reservoir and red frother are
inserted until you hear a click.
If these components are not cleaned after each use, the
frother may not work properly, the milk may not be
drawn up, or milk may drip from the reservoir spout.
DESCALING THE ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO
SECTION
Over time, heating the water used to make the coffee
leads to lime scale buildup in the internal circuits of the
appliance.
We therefore recommend that you descale the espresso
maker every 2-6 months (depending on the hardness
of the water and the frequency of use).
Proceed as follows:
1. Fill the small carafe with water up to level 4 on the
WATER LEVEL side.
2. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 15-20 grams) of citric
acid (sold at drugstores) in the water.
3. Pour the solution into the boiler and screw on the
cap.
4. Make sure the steam knob is closed and attach the
filter-holder.
5. Place the carafe under the espresso filter-holder.
6. Turn the Vario System selector to LIGHT and turn the
coffee maker on.
7. After a few minutes, the solution begins to run into
the carafe.
Every now and then, turn the steam knob to let out
a little of the solution from the milk reservoir spout.
8. When all the solution has run through, turn the
appliance off and let it cool down.
9. To eliminate the descaling solution residues, repeat
steps 1 to 8 at least twice, using water only (without
adding citric acid).
