instructions given in the following paragraphs.
4 USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. The first time you use the appliance, select the language.
To set English, plug the appliance into the mains socket and wait for the appliance to display:
PRESS OK TO INSTALL ENGLISH
Press the button for at least 3 seconds until the appliance displays:
ENGLISH I NSTALLED
The appliance then displays the setting message in English.
2. After a few seconds, the appliance displays:
FILL TANK
To fill, remove the tank (fig. 1), rinse and fill with fresh water. Never exceed the MAX line.
(When removing the tank, the cappuccino maker must always be positioned towards the centre of the
appliance, otherwise the tank cannot be removed).
Put the tank back and push as far as it will go.
3. The appliance now displays:
TURN the STEAM KNOB
25
Move the cappuccino maker outwards (fig. 2) and place a cup underneath it.
Turn the steam knob anticlockwise as far as it will go (fig. 3).
After a few seconds, a little water runs out of the cappuccino maker. When the cup contains about 30cc
of water, turn the steam knob clockwise (fig. 4) as far as it will go to stop the water running out.
4. The appliance now displays:
TURNING OFF PLEASE WAIT .. .
and it goes off.
5. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 5).
IMPORTANT: to prevent malfunction, never fill with ground coffee, freeze dried coffee, caramelised beans
or anything else which could damage the appliance.
6. Press the (fig. 6), The appliance displays:
HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT ...
to indicate that preheating is underway.
7. When preheating is complete, the appliance displays:
RINSING complete PLEASE WAIT ...
and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out of the spouts and is collected in the drip
tray beneath).
Tip: if you want to make a short coffee (less than 60 cc), to make it hotter, fill the cup with this hot rinsing water first. Leave it for a few seconds then empty it to preheat the cup.
8. The appliance now displays the ready message:
READY STANDARD TASTE
5 PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS)
1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a standard taste. You can also choose coffee with an extra-
mild mild, strong or extra-strong taste. To choose the required taste, press the (fig. 7): The selected
coffee taste will be displayed.
2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (fig. 8) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (fig. 9). For a creamier cof-
fee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (fig. 10).
3. Press the button to make a short coffee (fig. 11), the button for a standard coffee and the
button for a long coffee.
To make 2 coffees, press the button twice (within 2 seconds).
To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions in chapter 6.
(The appliance now grinds the beans and starts running off the coffee into the cup.
Once the desired quantity has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and
ejects the grounds into the special container).
4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.
5. To turn the appliance off, press the button.
Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out from the
spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath). Take care to avoid scalds.
26
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.
15) one click clockwise (see chapter 7).
Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the grinding coarseness regulator
(fig. 15) one click anticlockwise (see chapter 7).
Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessively otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may
run out in drips.
NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:
• When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 60 cc), use the hot
rinse-through water to preheat the cups.
If 2/3 minutes have passed , since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must preheat
the infuser by pressing the button (fig. 12).
Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the
cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.
• Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
• Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20
minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.
NOTE 4: while the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the
, or button as previously selected.
NOTE 5: as soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the
, or button as previously selected, until the desired quantity is reached (this operation must
be performed within 3 seconds from when coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).
NOTE 6: when the appliance displays:
FILL TANK
the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).
NOTE 7: the appliance counts the number of coffees made.
Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays:
EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER
indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds container
has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make coffee.
To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the handle (fig. 13), remove the drip tray (fig. 14),
empty and clean.
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are
removed.
IMPORTANT: when removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when next making coffee the grounds in the container may exceed the maximum level and block the appliance.
