3. DE-PRESSURIZING
CAUTION! Never open the boiler cap and never remove the filter holder as long
as there is pressure in the boiler container. In order to check if the machine is
still under pressure follow these steps:
1. The selector switch is in the "0" position and the filter holder is inserted.
2. Place the empty carafe with its lid underneath the filter holder (fig. 8 and 9).
3. Turn the selector switch to the "cup" position. Let all the water process
through the filter into the carafe (during this process the machine will create
quite a bit of steam).
