PREPARING EXPRESSO COFFEE
1 Remove the boiler cap by turning it anti-
c l o c k w i s e .
2 Using the carafe supplied (fig. 1) pour water
into the boiler (fig. 2) according to the
amounts shown in the table at the end of the
text. Do not exceed the amounts
shown as this could cause the
appliance to malfunction. While filling
the boiler make sure the ON/OFF switch is in
the OFF position.
3 Carefully close the boiler cap by turning it
clockwise.
4 Insert the filter into the filter-holder. (fig. 3).
5 Put the coffee evenly into the filter according
to the amounts shown in the table following
(fig. 4). It is important to use medium ground
coffee. (Avoid using too finely ground coffee
otherwise the filter could become blocked,
MOKA coffee is suitable).
6 Remove excess coffee from the filter rim (fig.
5).
7 To attach the filter-holder to the machine
place the filter holder under the heater-faucet
(fig. 6) and line up with the arrow marked
5

on the machine lid (fig. 7). At this point press
filter-holder upwards while at the same time
rotating clockwise all the way. It does not
matter if the filter housing bowl’s handle is not
centrally aligned with the machine. It is important that the bowl be firmy set in its housing.
8 The carafe with the lid must be positioned
under the filter holder so that the spout is inside the opening on the carafe’s lid (fig. 8).
Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.
9 Insert the plug and press the power switch.The
indicator will come on (fig. 9).
10 About three minutes are required before the
coffee begins to be discharged. Turn off
power switch after coffee has been discharged.
11 Before unscrewing the boiler cap or
removing the filter holder, residual pressure must be released by slowly turning
the steam knob (fig. 11) so that the residual steam can escape.
N o t e: for safety reasons, it is not possible to
open the boiler cap when the boiler is hot as the
cap turns without unscrewing. If it has to be removed for any reason, it is always necessary to let
off steam from the boiler using the steam knob as
described immediately above.
• To remove coffee grounds from the filter holder, turn upside down and knock it repeatedly until all grounds have been removed
(fig. 11), or rinse the filter holder unit under
running water and let drip dry.
NOTE To eliminate the “new” smell, the first
time you use the coffee machine, carry out a number of coffee cycles without using coffee.
MAKING CAPPUCCINO
A cappuccino is an espresso coffee with a froth
topping made by heating milk.
1 Using the following table as a guide pour the
required amount of milk into carafe. The best
results will be achieved using fresh milk, not
skimmed, which should be at refrigerator temperature.
3 Then follow steps 1-9 in the section "Making
Espresso Coffee".
N o t e that the amount of water needed to
make 2 cups of cappuccino is greater than
that required for 2 cups of normal coffee as it
also necessary to produce the steam to emulsify the milk.
4 When the coffee starts to drip from the filter
holder, place the steam nozzle in the milk
(fig. 12) ensuring that the nozzle opening is
just under the surface of the milk, as shown in
fig. 13 and open the steam valve by turning
the steam knob counter clockwise.
5 Move the jug up and down under the steam
nozzle as in fig. 14 (this will give maximum
froth). When sufficient milk froth has been
produced, turn the steam knob clockwise to
close the steam valve.
6 Allow the remaining coffee to drip thorugh the
filter holder into the carafe, it takes about 3
minutes,then switch the appliance OFF.
Remember: Before unscrewing the tank tap or
removing the filter holder, residual pressure
must be released by slowly turning the steam
knob so that the residual steam can escape.
7 Pour the coffee into cups, gently pour, or pre-
ferably spoon the frothy milk onto the coffee,
then sprinkle on a little chocolate powder for
perfect cappuccino coffee.
8 Clear the steam tube (with the cappuccino
nozzle) of milk immediately after use, as dried
milk can be difficult to remove.
Remember: You do this by turning the
steam control knob counter clockwise.
Than making care as the steam tube may be hot:
• unscrew the cappuccino nozzle by turning
gently to the left (fig. 15) and wash it carefully
in hot water.
• clean the steam tube and replace the cappuccino nozzle.
(from time to time, use a pin to clean the holes
in the cappuccino nozzle (fig. 16).
2 Transfer the milk into a jug. The jug should be
large enough to allow the milk to expand to
around treble its volume.

HINTS
Making good espresso and cappuccino is not difficult however it does require practice. The following tips will help you get the best results from
your machine:
• Warm the cups before filling with coffee.
• Use a dedicated espresso coffee for best
results. They are now widely available from
supermarkets.
• Freshly ground coffee provides the best flavour. To maintain flavour, fresh coffee is best
stored in an airtight container in a cool place,
even in the fridge.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, switch the machine off, remove the
plug from the socket and leave the machine to
cool.
• Do not use solvents, detergents or abrasive
products to clean the machine. A soft damp
cloth is sufficient.
• Clean the filter-holder, filter and drip tray
regularly.
• Do not wash the machine in water - remember
that it is an electrical appliance.
• Never wash components or accessories in a
dishwasher.
DESCALING
If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water will accumulate and
affect the operation of the machine.
Approximately every six months (depending on
the hardness of the water), your espresso maker
should be cleaned with vinegar as follows:
1. Before cleaning your espresso maker, turn the
switch to OFF and remove the plug from the
wall socket.
2. Fill the carafe with vinegar and pour into the
water tank.
3. Replace the boiler cap.
4. Fit the filter and filter-holder (without any coffee).
5. Place the carafe on the drip tray.
6. Insert the plug into the wall socket.
7. Turn the switch to ON. After a few minutes,
the hot vinegar will begin to flow through the
filter-holder into the carafe.
8. Place the steam tube in a glass or mug. Open
the steam knob for a few seconds while the
vinegar flows through the filter-holder. This
will clear any milk residue from the inside of
the tube.
9. Turn on the steam knob (the vinegar will continue to flow into the carafe).
10.When no more vinegar flows into the carafe,
turn the switch to OFF and allow the machine
to cool. Remove the filter-holder, the filter and
the carafe and rinse with hot water.
12.Repeat the last two steps using cold water in
order to remove any residual vinegar. Repeat
twice.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a
13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut
off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as
b e l o w .
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere
in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must
be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
8
IMPORTANT
5732101400/01.98
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted
when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to
BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must
NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained
from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct
replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the
p l u g .
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the
instructions provided below:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the
plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured
green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
