SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

-A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

-Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

USING YOUR MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME

When you are using the machine for the first time, you should wash all the accessories i.e. filter holder, steam nozzle etc in warm soapy water and rinse. To ensure best tasting coffee the internal circuits must also be flushed through at least five times. To do this follow the directions below in “How to prepare espresso coffee” but use only water and not coffee.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK:

To remove the water tank simply pull upwards (fig 2) and fill the tank at the sink (fig 3). Do not exceed the MAX level on the water tank. The tank may also be filled without removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug. Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom of the tank with the hole in the base on the machine.

Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank and always remember to fill the tank when the water level goes below the MIN level.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE

To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right temperature it is essential that the coffee unit is preheated.

•Turn the selector knob so that the indented line on the selector knob points to the boiler on function

. Red light next to will come on (fig 4).

• Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine by positioning it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (fig 5). Push upwards and at the same time turn the handle as far right as possible. It does not matter if the handle is not centrally aligned with the machine, as long as the filter holder is firmly attached to the appliance.

• Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated.

•Wait until the orange “OK” light comes on (fig 6) and turn the selector knob to the espresso function

position (fig 7). Allow water to flow until the orange “OK” light goes out, then stop the flow of water by turning the selector knob to the boiler on function (fig 4)

• Empty the cup, wait until the “OK” pilot light comes on again and repeat the whole operation one more time.

• For optimum preheating, the selector knob can be left in the “boiler on” position for approximately half an hour before making any coffee.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE:

Hints and Tips:

• It is important to use a high quality ground coffee with a fine grind in order to avoid the obstruction of the filter during the brewing.

• It is important to ensure that the filter is clean before filling with coffee.

•Tamping the coffee gives a better quality espresso. If you press too hard, the coffee comes out slowly and the cream is dark in colour. If on the other hand, the coffee is not pressed enough, it will come out too quickly and the cream will be light in colour.

•Preheating the machine will ensure your coffee is dispensed at the correct temperature

•Espresso is a strong dark coffee with a distinctive caramel coloured froth, known as the “crema”. Espresso coffee is best served in small “demi-tasse” cups, with a half cup being the ideal serving (approx 1

/2- 2 fl oz).

1. After carrying out the preheating of the machine as

described in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of espresso coffee, insert the 1cup filter (the smaller of the two provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 8) and fill it with one level measuring spoon of ground coffee – about 7 grams. If you wish to prepare two cups of espresso coffee, use the 2-cup filter (the larger of the two provided) and fill it with two less-than-level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 6+6 grams).

2. Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it lightly with the pressing pad (Fig. 10).

3 Remove any excess coffee from the filter holder rim

and attach the filter holder to the machine. To do this push the filter holder upwards and at the same time turn the handle as far right as possible. It does not matter if the handle is not centrally aligned with the machine, as long as the filter holder is firmly attached to the appliance (fig 5).

4 Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by rinsing

under hot water) on the black part of the removable drip tray (fig 11). Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the dispensing holes on the filter holder.

5Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig 6) then turn

the selector knob to the espresso function (fig

7) until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained (approx 1

/2- 2 fl oz or 1/2“demi-tasse” cup.

6To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from

right to left. To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.

7. To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with the special lever that is built into the handle and let the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter holder (Fig. 12).

8To switch off the coffee machine, turn the selector knob

on the appliance to the OFF position “O” (fig 13)

HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted):

•Preheat the machine as described in the ‘Preheating the Coffee Machine’ section, making sure to leave the filter holder attached to the unit. Following this procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a hotter temperature, as well as guaranteeing that the seal of the filter holder gaskets is more effective.

•Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into the filter (fig 14).Always follow the instructions on the package of the wafers for the correct positioning of the wafer in the filter.

Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the following symbol:

The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply and without any mess.

• Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving from left to right (fig 5). If the waffle filter holder is used, after using the filter holder for ground coffee, it is essential to first remove any coffee grains (fig.24) that may have stuck to the hot water drip spout. If this cleaning is not done, water may exit from the sides of the waffle filter holder while the coffee is being made.

•Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 in the previous section on how to prepare espresso.

•To remove the pod, press the button on the filter holder and simply lift the pod out

•To turn the coffee machine off, turn the selector knob on the appliance to the Off position “O” (fig 13).

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large

enough for cappuccinos (see “How to prepare espresso coffee).

2.Turn the selector knob to the position (fig. 15)

The “cappuccino function” and “boiler on” red lights will come on. Wait until the orange “OK” light comes on, to indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for producing steam.

3.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately

3 fl. oz of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times. Semi skimmed milk gives best results.

NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at refrigerator temperature.

4.Position the container with the milk in it under the

milk frother (fig. 16).

5.Check that the two holes shown in fig. 19 are not

blocked. If necessary, clean them with the help of a pin

6.Re-attach the steam nozzle by inserting it into the

steam tube and aligning the ‘A’ arrow with the ‘B’ notch, as indicated in figure 20.

7.Re-attach the cappuccino maker by sliding it all the

way into the steam nozzle, aligning the ‘C’ arrow with the ‘B’ notch, as shown in figure 21, and then turning it in an anti-clockwise direction.

IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows:

1.By turning the steam knob (fig. 17), allow a little steam to come out for a few seconds. Then close firmly by turning clockwise.

2.Hold the upper part tight with one hand and use your other hand to unscrew the cappuccino maker, rotating it in a clockwise direction, and remove it from the nozzle (fig. 18).

3.Remove the steam nozzle by sliding it off the delivery tube (fig. 19).

4.Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle thoroughly with tepid water.

5.Check that the two holes shown in fig. 20 are not blocked. If necessary, clean them with the help of a pin.

6.Re-attach the steam nozzle by inserting it into the steam tube and aligning the ‘A’ arrow with the ‘B’ notch, as indicated in figure 20.

7.Re-attach the cappuccino maker by sliding it all the way into the steam nozzle, aligning the ‘C’ arrow with the ‘B’ notch, as shown in figure 21, and then turning it in an anti-clockwise direction.

PRODUCING HOT WATER

1. Turn on the coffee unit by turning the selector knob to the position (fig. 4).

2. Position a container under the cappuccino maker.

3. When the ‘OK’ pilot light comes on, position the selector knob at (fig. 7) and at the same time turn the steam knob in an anti-clockwise direction (fig. 17); hot water will come out from the cappuccino maker.

4. To stop the flow of hot water, turn the steam knob in a clockwise direction and position the selector knob at “O”

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE

After use, it is necessary to clean the filter holder in the following manner:

• Turn the bottom of the filter holder in an anticlockwise direction and take it off (fig. 22).

• Rinse with hot water.

• Replace the bottom.

Every so often it is necessary to eliminate the build up that forms on the metal crown of the filter holder, immersing it in hot water for about ten minutes and then activating the cursor several times. Never wash the filter holder in the dishwasher.

In the event of the coffee maker remaining unused for a long period, it is not recommended that the filter holder be left attached, because the gasket of the boiler could lose its elasticity.

CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PODS (IF SUPPLIED)

Every so often, the filter holder for pods should be cleaned, as follows:

• press the filter holder button and remove the filter, as indicated in fig. 23

• check that the pinholes of the filter are not blocked. If necessary, clean it carefully with hot water, scrubbing it with an abrasive pad.

• clean the inside of the filter holder and the rubber gasket;

• replace the filter.

Never wash the filter holder in the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE ESPRESSO BOILER OUTLET

At least once a year, it is necessary to clean the outlet of the espresso boiler in the following manner:

• check that the coffee machine is not warm and the plug is detached from the mains;

• using a screwdriver, unscrew the screw that holds the outlet of the espresso boiler (fig. 23);

• using a moist cloth, clean the area of the boiler where the outlet was positioned;

• brush the outlet with a little dish-washing liquid until all the pinholes are clean;

• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;

• replace the outlet of the espresso boiler.

OTHER CLEANING OPERATIONS

1.Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the coffee maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.

2.Remove the drip-trays, empty them and wash them periodically.

3.Clean the water tank.

ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse the unit in water – it is an electrical appliance.

DESCALING

It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine every 200 cups of coffee. It is recommended that specific (store-bought) products for descaling of espresso coffee machines be used. If such products are not available, it is possible to proceed as follows:

1.Fill the tank with water using 1 liter of water;

2.Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid in the water (available from chemists);

3.Turn the selector knob to the position and wait until the ‘OK’ light comes on.

4.Check that the filter holder is not attached and place a container under the outlet of the machine;

5.Turn the selector knob to the position and allow half of the solution in the tank to flow out. Then stop the flow by turning the selector to the “O” position.

6.Allow the solution to act for about 15 minutes, then start up the flow again until the tank is completely empty;

7.To eliminate the remains of the solution and the calcium, rinse the tank well, fill it with clean water and replace.

8.Turn the selector knob to the position and allow all of the remaining solution in the tank to flow out.

9.Turn the selector knob to the position and repeat operations 7 and 8 one more time.

Repairs for malfunctioning caused by problems of calcium build-up are not covered by the guarantee if the descaling process described above is not carried out regularly
