through by making at least five coffees without using
ground coffee.
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE POD
FILTER HOLDER (IF FITTED)
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the paragraph
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the
filter holder is attached. This prepares a hotter
coffee.
2.Press the filter holder button and insert a pod,
centring it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 12).
Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the filter correctly.
NB: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the
pack by the following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
3.Attach the filter holder to the appliance.
Always
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 4).
NB: To ensure effective closure and avoid water
leaking from the rim of the filter holder, you are
recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs
from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in figure
13).
IMPORTANT: When using the pod filter holder, after
using the filter for ground coffee, remove any coffee
grounds stuck to the boiler outlet (fig. 14). Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to water leaking
from the edges of the pod filter holder while the
coffee is being prepared.
4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 in the previous
paragraph (how to prepare espresso coffee using the
filter holder for ground coffee).
5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter
holder and extract it.
6.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF
button (fig. 3).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the
previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.
2.Press the steam button (fig. 15) and wait for the
steam indicator light to come on (fig. 5). The OK
indicator light indicates that the boiler has reached
the ideal temperature for steam production.
3.In the meantime, fill a recipient with about 100
grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not
hot!). In choosing the size of the recipient, 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.
4.Place the recipient containing the milk under the
cappuccino maker.
5.Dip the cappuccino maker into the recipient
containing the milk (fig. 16), taking care not to
immerse the raised line on the cappuccino maker
(indicated by the arrow in fig. 17). Turn the steam
knob at least a half turn anticlockwise (fig. 18).
Steam is given off by the cappuccino maker, giving
the milk a creamy frothy appearance. 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 (60°C is
ideal), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam
knob clockwise and at the same time pressing the steam
button (fig. 15).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino
is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the
froth with a little cocoa powder.
NB: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make
all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed
milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino maker
after use. Proceed as follows:
1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating
the steam knob (fig. 18). This empties any milk left
inside the steam tube.
IMPORTANT:
to ensure hygiene, you are
recommended to follow this procedure each time you
make cappuccino to avoid milk stagnating in the milk
circuit.
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.
19).
