How to prepare espresso coffee

Filling the water tank

To remove the water tank lift the lid (fig.1) and simply pull

upwards (fig 2) and fill the tank at the sink (fig 3). Do not exceed

the MAX level on the water tank. The tank may also be filled with-

out removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug.

Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom of the tank

with the hole in the base on the machine.

WARNING: it is completely normal for there to be water in the

compartment under the tank; as a result, this compartment should

be dried using a clean sponge.

Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank

and always remember to fill the tank when the level drops to a

couple of centimetres from the bottom.

Preheating the coffee machine

To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right tempera-

ture it is essential that the coffee unit is preheated.

1. Press the ON/OFF button (the button lights up) (fig. 4).

2. Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine

by positioning it under the boiler outlet with the handle

towards the left (fig. 5). Push upwards and at the same time

turn the handle as far right as possible. It does not matter if the

handle is not centrally aligned with the machine, as long as the

filter holder is firmly attached to the appliance.

3. Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that

the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated.

Wait until the “coffee ready" light on the Coffee Button comes

on (fig. 6), then immediately press the Coffee Button. Allow the

water to run until the “coffee ready" indicator light goes out,

then stop the water by pressing the Coffee Button again.

4. Empty the cup, wait until the “coffee ready" pilot light comes on

again and repeat the whole operation one more time.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off

when removing the filter holder).

How to prepare espresso coffee

1. After carrying out the preheating of the machine as described

in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of

espresso coffee, insert the 1-cup filter (the smaller of the two

provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 7) and fill it with one level

measuring spoon of ground coffee (fig. 8) – about 7 grams. If

you wish to prepare two cups of espresso coffee, use the 2-cup

filter (the larger of the two provided) and fill it with two less-

than-level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 6+6

grams).

IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the

ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter is

free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.

2. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it quite firmly

with the coffee tamper (Fig. 9).

NOTE:Pressing the coffee is very important in order to prepare

a good coffee. However if you press too hard, coffee will come

out slowly and crema will be of a dark colour. If you press too

light, coffee will come out too fast and crema will be a very light

colour.

3. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.

Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the handle

to the left of the boiler outlet, then pushing upwards and turning

the handle to the right (as in preheating the machine fig. 5).

4. Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by rinsing under

hot water or heating on the cup warmer plate for 15-20

minutes - fig. 10) on the removable drip tray (fig 11). Ensure

that the cup or cups line up with the dispensing holes on the

filter holder. Press the on/off button (fig. 4).

5. Wait until the “coffee ready” light on the Coffee Button comes

on (fig 6) then press the Coffee Button. Once the required

quantity of coffee has been obtained (we recommend about 30–

40ml for an espresso), interrupt delivery by pressing the same

button again.

6. To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder

while the machine is dispensing coffee.

7. To remove the used coffee lock the filter with the built-in lever

(fig. 13) and let the coffee fall out by knocking the over turned

filter holder (fig. 14).

8. To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig.

4).

How to prepare coffee using pods

1. Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating the Coffee

Machine’ section, attaching the coffee filter holder with 1 cup or

pod filter to the unit.This procedure ensures that the coffee is

delivered at a hotter temperature and that the seal of the hold-

er is more effective.

Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be

indicated on the packaging by the symbol as in fig. 15.

The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading coffee pod

manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply

and without any mess.

2. Place the small filter (1 cup or pods) in the filter holder, making

sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in

fig. 7.

3. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 16).

Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the

pod on the filter correctly.

4. Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving from left to

right (fig 5).

5. Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the previous section (how to

prepare espresso coffee using the filter holder for ground cof-

fee).

Important: should the coffee holder for pods be used after one

for ground coffee, it’s necessary to clear the ground coffee remain-

ing in the boiler outlet.This cleaning operation is necessary in

order to avoid water leakages.

How to make cappuccino

1. Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large enough for

cappuccinos.

2. Press the steam button (fig. 17).

3. Open the steam tap for a few seconds to eliminate all water from

the circuit. Close the tap.

3. Wait for the steam indicator light on the steam button to come

on (fig. 17).The steam indicator light indicates that the boiler has

reached the ideal temperature for steam production.

4. In the meantime, fill a container with about 100 ml of milk for each

cappuccino to be prepared. Ideally use a small stainless steel jug.

The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choo-

sing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk increases

in volume by 2 or 3 times. NB:YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE

SEMI-SKIMMED MILK AT REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE.

5. Place the container with the milk under the cappuccino maker.

6. Dip the cappuccino maker into the milk (fig. 18), taking care not

to immerse the raised line on the cappuccino maker.

Turn the steam knob anticlockwise (fig. 19). Steam is given off by

the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appear-

ance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino maker into

the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the

bottom upwards.

6. When the required temperature is reached, interrupt steam

delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise. Then press the

steam button (fig. 17).

8. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso

coffee.Your cappuccino is now ready. If desired, add sugar and

sprinkle a little powdered chocolate or cinnamon on top of the

froth.

N.B.: to make coffee again after frothing milk, you must wait until

the appliance has cooled down. If it is too hot ( and lights

on together), the coffee will be burnt. To cool, place a container

under the boiler outlet, press the coffee button and run off the

water until the "steam ready" light goes off. Stop the flow of

water by pressing the button again.

You are recommended to deliver steam for a maximum of 60

seconds and never to froth milk more than three times consecu-

tively.

fig. 20

fig. 21

Coffee Maker

IMPORTANT: to ensure hygiene, you are recommended to

follow this procedure each time you make cappuccino to avoid

milk stagnating in the milk circuit. Leave to cool slightly before

cleaning.

1. Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the steam

knob (fig. 19).This empties any milk left inside the steam tube.

2. With one hand, hold the cappuccino tube firmly and with the

other unscrew the cappuccino maker itself by rotating clockwise

and extracting downwards (fig. 20).

3. Remove the nozzle from the steam tube by pulling it downwards.

Note: Metal of steam pipe may be hot!!!

4. Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle thoroughly with

warm water.

5. Make sure the two holes indicated by the arrows in fig. 21 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 maker by inserting it and rotating anti-

clockwise.

Producing hot water

1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button (the light

on the button comes on) (fig. 4).Wait until the “coffee ready“ indi-

cator light on the coffee button comes on (fig. 6).

2. Place a container under the cappuccino maker.

3. Press the coffee button (fig. 6) and at the same time open the

steam knob. Hot water is delivered from the cappuccino maker.

4. To interrupt the flow of hot water, close the steam knob by rotating

clockwise and press the coffee button again.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn the

machine off, unplug it from the power socket and allow it to cool

down.

Cleaning the filter holder

About every 200 coffees, or when the coffee comes out of the fil-

ter holder and filters in drips or not at all, clean the filter holder of

ground coffee as follows:

• Remove the filter with crema enhancer

• Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a dishwasher.

• Remove the crema enhancer cup (fig. 22) by unscrewing in the

direction indicated by the arrow on the cap.

• Remove the crema enhancer from the container by pushing it

from the cap end (fig. 23).

• Remove the gasket (fig. 24).

• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter thoroughly in hot

water using a brush (fig. 25). Make sure the holes in the metal fil-

ter are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (see fig. 26).

• Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as shown in fig. 27.

Make sure to insert the pin on the plastic disk into the hole in the

gasket indicated by the arrow in fig. 28.

• Replace the assembly in the steel filter container (fig. 29), making sure

the pin is inserted in the hole in the support (see arrow in fig. 29).

• Finally, screw on the cap.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.

Cleaning the boiler outlet

About every 200 coffees, the espresso boiler outlet must be cleaned

as follows:

• Make sure the appliance is not hot and that it is unplugged from

the mains;

• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw fixing the espresso boiler

outlet (fig. 30);

• Clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig. 31);

• Clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a brush. Make sure

the holes are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (fig.26).

• Rinse under running water, rubbing all the time.

• Replace the espresso boiler outlet, making sure the gasket is cor-

rectly positioned.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.

Other cleaning operations

1. Do not use solvents or detergents when cleaning the coffee

maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.

2. Clean the filter holder cup, filters, drip tray and water tank

regularly.

The drip tray has a red indicator which becomes visible when

the tray needs emptying.

To empty, remove the cup grille (fig. 32), empty the water and

clean the tray with a cloth. Replace the drip tray, making sure

the indicator is correctly positioned.

Clean the tank, using a brush to reach the bottom.

ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse the unit in

water – it is an electrical appliance.
