5. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about

5 mm and rotate the steam dial anticlockwise (fig. 17)
(rotating the steam dial more or less varies the quantity
of steam discharged by the cappuccino maker). The milk
now starts to increase in volume and take on a creamy ap-
pearance.

6. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-

puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk (fig.
18). When the required temperature is reached (the ideal
is 70°c), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam
dial clockwise and placing the selector in the “o” position
(fig. 14).

7. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espres-

so coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready.
Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a
little cocoa powder.

Please note:

• To make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, cool

down the boiler first or the coffee will be burnt. To cool,
place a container under the boiler outlet, turn the selector
to the “coffee” position and run off the water until the ok
light goes out. Turn the selector back to the

position

and make the coffee as described above.

• Maximum steam delivery of 60 seconds is recommended

and the milk must not be frothed more than 3 times con-
secutively.

Important:

The cappuccino maker must always be washed after use to
ensure hygiene.
Proceed as follows:
1. Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the

steam dial (fig. 17).

2. Wait several minutes for the steam tube to cool down.

Unscrew the cappuccino maker by rotating clockwise (fig.
18) and wash thoroughly with warm water.

3. make sure the three holes in the cappuccino maker (fig.

20) are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.

4. clean the steam tube, taking care to avoid burns.
5. Screw the cappuccino maker back in place.

Production of hot water

1. Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector dial to the

position (fig. 4).

2. Place a recipient under the cappuccino maker.
3. When the ok indicator light comes on, turn the selector

dial to the

position (fig. 7) and at the same time,

rotate the steam dial anticlockwise (fig. 17). Hot water is
delivered from the cappuccino maker.

4. To interrupt delivery of hot water, rotate the steam dial

clockwise and position the selector dial to “o” (fig. 4) (You
should not deliver hot water for more than one minute at
a time).

Cleaning

Danger!

Before performing any cleaning operations of the external
parts of the appliance, switch the machine off, remove the plug
from the socket and let the machine cool down.

Cleaning and maintenance of the filter

About every 200 coffees or when the coffee drips out of the
filter holder or not at all, clean the ground coffee filter holder
as follows:
• Remove the filter from the filter holder.
• Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a dish-

washer.

• Remove the filter cap (fig. 21) by unscrewing in the direc-

tion indicated by the arrow on the cap.

• Remove the frother from the container by pushing it from

the cap end.

• Remove the gasket.
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter thorough-

ly in hot water using a brush (fig. 22). make sure the holes
in the metal filter are not blocked. If necessary, clean with
a pin (see fig. 23).

• Replace the filter and gasket on the plastic disk as shown

in fig. 24. make sure to insert the pin on the plastic disk
into the hole in the gasket indicated by the arrow in

• Replace the resulting assembly in the steel filter container

(fig. 25), making sure the pin is inserted into the hole in
the support (see arrow in fig. 26).

• Finally, screw on the cap (fig. 27).
failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.

Cleaning the boiler outlet

About every 300 coffees
the  espresso  boiler
outlet  must  be  cleaned
as follows:
• Make  sure  that  the
coffee  machine  is  not
hot  and  the  plug  is
disconnected  from  the
socket;
