THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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 t 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 t, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

5.1Tips for a hotter co ee

To make espresso co ee at the right temperature, the co ee maker should be preheated as follows:

•Turn the appliance on by turning the selector dial to ON (the ON light turns on) and attach the porta lter onto the appliance without adding pre-ground co ee;

•Place a cup under the porta lter. Use the same cup to be used later to prepare the co ee, in order to preheat it;

•Wait until the READY light turns on and immediately afterwards turn the selector dial to and deliver water until the READY light turns o , then stop it by turning the dial to ON.

•Empty the cup, wait until the READY light turns on again and then repeat the operation.

(It is normal for a small and harmless pu of steam to be given o when removing the porta lter).

6.1Tips for milk beverages

•For best results, the milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). You are recommended to use 2% milk.

•In choosing the size of the jug, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume once steamed.

•To prepare more than one cappuccino, make all the co ees rst then at the end froth the milk for all the cappuccinos.

•To make co ee again after the milk has been frothed, rst cool down the boiler, or the co ee will be burnt. To cool it down place a container under the boiler outlet, turn the

selector to and discharge water until the READY light goes o . Return the selector to ON and then proceed making co ee.

co ee prepared previously.

6.2Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use

•Discharge a little of hot water from the cappuccino maker (step 5 of section “6. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO”).

•Wait for a few minutes to allow the steam spout to cool down.

•Unscrew the cappuccino maker by turning it clockwise and wash it thoroughly with warm water.

•Remove the nozzle by pulling it downwards.

•Make sure the holes are not clogged. If necessary, clean them with a pin.

8. CLEANING

•Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the co ee machine.

•Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or co ee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

•Danger! While cleaning, never immerse the co ee maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.

•If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using it again, we strongly recommend you to rinse the internal circuits through, as described in section “4. FIRST USE”.

You should not deliver hot water for more than 60 seconds.

8.1Cleaning the drip tray

• Remove the tray.

• Remove the cup grille, empty the water and clean the tray with a cloth, then reassemble the drip tray.

• Put the drip tray assembly back in place.

8.2Cleaning the co ee lters

Rinse the lters after each use. Clean the lters thoroughly every 200 cups of co ee.

• Remove the lter from the porta lter.

9. DESCALING

1.Fill the tank with the descaler solution, diluite the descaler with water up to the max level of the tank.

2.Turn the selector dial to ON.

7.From time to time, turn the steam dial to to discharge steam.

8.Then interrupt delivery by turning the steam dial back to 0 and the selector dial to ON.

•Repeat points 5 to 8 another 3 times, until the tank is empty;

Then proceed rinsing the circuits:

•To eliminate residues of descaler solution, carefully rinse the tank and ll it with clean water (without descaler);

•Turn the selector to and deliver water until the tank is empty: from time to time turn the steam dial to to discharge steam.
