HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT ESPRESSO COFFEE
1 Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it
counter-clockwise.
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 boil-
er 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). At this point press filter-holder
upwards while at the same time rotating
counter-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.
7).
Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.
9. If the machine is supplied with a flow regula-
tor, position the lever within the desired area
according to the type of coffee desired:
“light”, “medium” or “strong” (fig.8).
10 Press the ON/OFF switch (fig.9). The pilot
lamp will light.
11 About three minutes are required before the
coffee begins to be discharged. Turn off
power switch after coffee has been dis-
charged.
12 Before unscrewing the boiler cap or
removing the filter holder, residual
pressure must be released by slowly
turning the steam knob (fig. 10) so that
the residual steam can escape.
Note: 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.
13 To detach the filter holder, turn the handle
from right to left.
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 appliance, perform the coffee-making cycle a couple
of times without drinking the coffee.
Coffee flowed directly in the cups
The carafe can be used to brew 2 or 4 cups of coffee.
If you prefer to brew 2 cups only, fit the adaptor to
the lower section of the filter-holder (fig. 12) and
place the cups directly underneath the nozzles. In
this way, the coffee will flow directly into the cups.
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.
2 Transfer the milk into a jug. The jug should
be large enough to allow the milk to expand
to around treble its volume.
Models fitted with flow regulator
3 Follow steps 1-10 in the section "Making
Espresso Coffee".
Note 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. You are recommended to
position the flow regulator on "MEDIUM".
4 Allow the coffee to drip into the jug until it
reaches the number 2 marked on the side of
the jug, then select "CAPPUCCINO".
When the coffee starts to drip from the filter
holder, place the steam nozzle in the milk

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). Froth the milk until the steam in
the boiler has been completely used
up, then turn the steam knob in a clockwise
direction in order to close the steam valve
and set the ON/OFF switch to “OFF”
Warning: always empty the boiler of
any residual water or steam after
using the appliance by turning on
the steam knob.
6 Pour gently or preferably spoon the frothy milk
onto the coffee, then sprinkle on a little choco-
late powder for perfect cappuccino coffee.

6 Allow the remaining coffee to drip thorugh
the filter holder into the carafe, it takes about
3 minutes,then switch the appliance OFF.
Warning: always empty the boiler of
any residual water or steam after
using the appliance by turning on
the steam knob.
7 Pour the coffee into cups, gently pour, or
preferably spoon the frothy milk onto the cof-
fee, then sprinkle on a little chocolate pow-
der for perfect cappuccino coffee.
Cleaning the cappuccino nozzle
Clean 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.
IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and
steam nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as
follows:
• By turning the steam knob (fig. 15), allow a
little steam to come out for a few seconds.
• Check that the 3 holes shown in fig. 16 are not
blocked. If necessary, clean them with the help
of a pin
• Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle thoroughly with warm water.
• Re-attach the cappuccino maker.
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
1.
Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the
coffee maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.
2.Clean the filter-holder, filter and drip tray reg-
ularly.
ATTENTION: during cleaning, never immerse
the unit in water – it is an electrical appliance.
CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER
About every 300 coffees, clean the filter holder
for ground coffee as follows:
• Remove the filter
• Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash
in a dishwasher.
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter
thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 17).
Make sure the holes in the metal filter are not
blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (fig. 18).

Failure to clean as described above invalidates
the guarantee.
CLEANING THE ESPRESSO BOILER OUTLET
About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler outlet must be cleaned as follows:
• check that the coffee machine is not warm and
the plug is detached from the mains;
• using a screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that
hold the outlet of the espresso boiler (fig. 19);
• clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig. 20);
• clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a
brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If
necessary, clean with a pin.
• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;
• replace the outlet of the espresso boiler.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates
the guarantee.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coffee
machine about every 300 coffees. You should use
a commercially available product specifically for
descaling espresso coffee machines. If you cannot
obtain such a product, you can also follow the
procedure below.
1. First clean the coffee machine, turn off and
unplug from the mains.
2. Fill the jug to the brim.
3. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 10/15 g) of citric
acid (obtainable from chemist's or drug
stores);
4. Pour the solution into the boiler.
5. Replace the boiler cap and leave the solution
to work for about 30 minutes.
6. Place the selector in the "LIGHT" position.
7. Put the filter and filter holder in position (without
coffee).
8. Position the jug on the drip tray.
9. Plug into the mains.
10.Turn the coffee machine on. After a few minutes, the hot solution will start to flow through
the filter holder on the jug.
11.Place the steam tube in a glass or cup. Open
the steam knob for a few seconds while the
descaling solution flows through the filter
holder. This cleans all residues of milk from
inside the tube.
12.Close the steam knob (the descaling solution
will continue to flow into the jug).
13.When the solution stops flowing into the jug,
turn off and allow the machine to cool down.
Remove the filter holder, filter and jug and
rinse with hot water.
14.To remove traces of descaler, perform at
least 2 coffee-making cycles without coffee.
