Coffee Maker EC160

Before use

Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as 

that indicated on the technical information plate of the appliance. 
Place the appliance on a flat surface, ensuring the suction cups stick 
firmly to the surface. Fill the tank with cold water taking care that 
it is correctly re-inserted in its housing (Fig. 1). Insert the plug into 
the socket, which must be earthed. Press the switch (O) to start 
the machine. Indicator lights (P) and (R) will come on, indicating 
respectively that the machine is on and that the internal boiler has 
begun to heat up. Press the coffee supply switch (Q) until water is 
seen coming from the filter ring (Fig. 2). 

If you are starting the machine for the first time or after 
a period of time during which it has not been used, it is 
recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed 

to pass through the boiler’s hydraulic circuit.

 This can be 

achieved by turning knob (N) in an anti-clockwise direction after 
placing a cup under the nozzle of the MAXI CAPPUCCINO at

-

tachment (D). Then close knob (N) by turning it in a clockwise 
direction and switch of the coffee supply switch (Q) to stop water 
being emitted. 

THE MACHINE IS READY TO MAKE COFFEE WHEN THE INDI-

CATOR LIGHT (R) GOES OUT.

How to make coffee

Measure out the coffee into the filter: for two coffees use two full 

measures and for one coffee, one measure.
The Thermocream® system has been specially designed to best 
meet all of the consumer’s needs, and is made up of two compo

-

nents: the Thermocream® filter (I) and the Thermocream® disk 
(H) that can be used in the following ways:
-  By putting them both into the filter holder, you get a cup of cof

-

fee with finer cream (Fig. 4b)

-  By using only the filter (I), you get a cup of coffee with higher 

cream (Fig. 4a)

Insert the filter holder into its position. Turn the filter holder 
anticlockwise 40 to 45 degrees as far as it is possible, without using 
excessive pressure (Fig. 3). A preheating time of 8/10 minutes is 
suggested, with the filter ring inserted so this too can be heated as 
to ensure a nice, hot first cup of coffee. For subsequent coffees this 
will not be necessary.
The coffee indicator light (R) will go on and off from time to time, 
indicating that the boiler thermostat is keeping the water at the 
right temperature. We suggest that both the first and the subse

-

quent coffees only be made when this light goes out.
Press the central button (Q). Coffee will begin to flow the filter
