• Next close the boiler cap by turning it firmly in a
clockwise direction.
Note: for safety reasons it is not possible to
unscrew the boiler cap while the boiler is hot as
it turns without unscrewing; if you need to fill the
boiler you should wait until the water contained
in it has been completely used up or until the
boiler has cooled down.
Further Boiler Refills
Further boiler refills must be carried out as described
in the previous paragraph and ONLY when the water
in the boiler has completely run out.
PREPARING THE MILK FOR CAPPUCCINOS
• Before dispensing frothed milk, the boiler must be
pre-heated for 10 minutes. Therefore, press the
"CAPPUCCINO" button (fig. 9) before preparing
coffee; doing so, the boiler will heat right up.
• Prepare the coffee as illustrated in the paragraph
headed "PREPARING THE COFFEE" and pour
about 2 fl. oz. (50-60 gr.) of coffee into each cup.
• To make a cappuccino, pour into the tank milk
which is neither boiling nor hot, as shown in fig.
10. With the tank filled to the "MAX" line, 2 or 3
cappuccinos can be made. Never exceed the lit-
tle mark which is placed immediately above the
word "MAX" (fig. 10) or the milk may continue
to drip from the pipe after the cappuccino has
been prepared.
• Place the cup containing coffee under the milk
tank pipe, check that the milk tank is firmly atta-
ched, wait for the "OK" pilot lamp (W) to come
on, the turn the steam knob at least a full turn
counter-clockwise. The "frothed" milk will begin to
coming out of the milk tank pipe (fig. 11). To
avoid the milk splashing if small cups are used,
the anti-spray hood should be fitted on the milk
tank pipe (fig. 12).
• Fill the cup with the desired amount of frothed milk.
To ensure that the milk froths properly, always
close the steam knob and wait for the OK pilot
lamp (W) to come on between one cappuccino and
the next. As soon as the tank is empty and the
machine begins to puff, turn off the steam by turning
the steam knob in a clockwise direction.
• The following proportions are recommended in
order to obtain a perfect cappuccino: 1/3 coffee,
1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk.
Suggestion: to make a hotter cappuccino when
more than one cup is required, it is better to pour
one cup of coffee at a time before immediately fil-
ling it with frothed milk, rather than pouring all
the cups of coffee at the same time first and then
filling them with frothed milk.
• Before switching the boiler off it is necessary to
clean the red emulsifier, so that it does not beco-
me blocked by the milk when it solidifies: to do so,
fill the milk tank with a little water and turn the
steam knob. In this way the steam cleans all the
holes and emulsifier pipes and empties the inter-
nal circuits of any traces of milk.
WARNING: to eliminate the "new" smell and above
all to ensure that the appliance functions properly, a
few coffee cycles should be completed without cof-
fee powder the first time the appliance is used, and
the steam boiler should be washed in the following
way: fill it with water, press the 'ON/OFF' cappuc-
cino switch and after 5 minutes turn the steam knob
and leave it on until all the steam has been used up
(about 15 minutes).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance,
disconnect the appliance from the electrical power
supply by pulling out the plug.
Cleaning the milk frother
The milk frother must be cleaned each time after use;
proceed as follows:
• Remove the milk tank by pressing the lever
marked "PRESS" and pulling it upwards at the
same time; wash the tank with hot water.
• Remove the red-emulsifier (fig. 13) by pressing on
the lever (A) and pulling it upwards at the same
time. Remove the rubber mixer, especially wash
and clean with warm water the holes shown in fig.
14 (clean them using a needle). Check that the
hole marked with the arrow B is not blocked (fig.
14). Once they have been cleaned, all the pieces
must be reassembled correctly. Pay attention that
the rubber mixer is firmly pushed down and the red
emulsifier is pushed till you hear clic. If the applian-
ce is not cleaned this way every time it is used the
milk may fail to froth properly or may fail to be
sucked up, or it may drip from the milk tank pipe.
Warning: to facilitate the cleaning of the milk tank
pipe, it is possible to use the pipe brush supplied.
Other cleaning
• Clean the jug and filter holder regularly.
• Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the machine's plastic components. A soft
cloth is sufficient.
• NEVER immerse the appliance in water.
DESCALING
The limestone contained in the water will, with the
passing of time, cause obstructions likely to prevent
the coffee machine from working properly, thereby
increasing the time needed to make coffee. The for-
mation of limestone deposits depends on the hardness
