one that is suitable by qualified personnel. If the
power cable (H) is damaged or requires replacing, contact an authorised service centre only as
the operation requires special tools.
• Do not install the appliance in an atmosphere
where the temperature may drop to or below 0°C
(if the water freezes, the appliance may be damaged).
PREPARING THE COFFEE
1 Unscrew the boiler cap (B) by rotating anti-
clockwise.
2 Using the jug (Q) provided (fig. 1), pour the water
into the boiler (fig. 2) respecting the quantities
given in the table at the end of the manual. Never
exceed the quantities indicated as this would lead
to poor functioning of the appliance. Always fill
the boiler with the luminous switch (L) off.
3. Place the filter in the filter holder (Fig.3).
4. Using the measure provided, pour the coffee into
the filter respecting the quantities indicated in the
table at the end of the manual and distributing it
evenly (fig.4). Use medium ground coffee as
excessively finely ground coffee could clog the filter (coffee for MOKA coffee makers can be used).
5. Remove any excess coffee from the edge of the filter (fig.5).
6. To attach the filter holder to the appliance, hold it
under the boiler outlet (fig. 6).
Push the filter holder upwards and at the same
time rotate it towards the right as far as it will go.
Make sure the filter holder is firmly in place, the
position of the filter holder handle with respect to
the appliance is irrelevant.
7 The jug must be positioned under the filter holder
in such a way that the spout of the filter holder is
inside the opening in the cover of the jug (fig.7).
8 Position the selector (A) to the type of coffee you
want to obtain: "LIGHT" for light coffee,
"MEDIUM" for normal coffee, "STRONG" for
strong coffee (fig.8).
9 Make sure the steam knob (F) is fully closed and
press the luminous switch. The indicator light
comes on (fig.9).
10 It takes about three minutes for coffee delivery to
begin. After the coffee has been delivered, turn
the luminous switch off.
IMPORTANT: To avoid discharge of steam, before
removing the filter holder, always vent all steam
left inside the boiler by rotating the steam knob
completely (fig. 10).
NOTE: For safety reasons, when the boiler is hot
the cap cannot be opened as it rotates without
unscrewing. If it must be removed for any reason,
always vent the steam from the boiler first using
the steam knob as described in the previous point.
To remove the coffee grounds from the filter holder, turn it upside down and knock it repeatedly
until the grounds are eliminated (fig. 11). Alternatively, rinse the filter holder and filter under running water.
IMPORTANT: To eliminate the "new" smell, the first
time you use the appliance, perform the coffeemaking cycle a couple of times without coffee
grounds.
FITTING THE ADAPTER
To make coffee directly in the cup, the adapter (R)
must be used. To fit, simply insert it in the bottom part
of the filter holder (fig.12).
PREPARING CAPPUCCINO COFFEES
• Pour the quantity of milk required to make the
cappuccino coffees (about 100 cc for each cappuccino) into the milk tank (E) (fig. 13). Never
exceed the MAX level (corresponding to about
250 cc) marked on the tank (fig. 14) otherwise
milk may continue to drip from the milk tank tube
after frothing has been completed. Always use
fresh unboiled milk. Never use hot milk.
When preparing four cappuccino coffees, the
milk in the tank must be topped up.
•Prepare the coffee as described in the paragraph
"PREPARING THE COFFEE" from point 1 to point
8, but using more water as specified in the table
at the end of the manual.
•Turn the appliance on by pressing the luminous
switch. Run off the coffee into the jug. When the
coffee reaches either the 2 or 4 level indicated on
the jug, stop delivery of the coffee by placing the
coffee selector in the "CAPPUCCINO" position.
IMPORTANT: The 2 or 4 mark should correspond
not to the level of the light coloured cream, but
to the darker coloured coffee under the cream.
Great care must be taken during this operation.
If the level of coffee exceeds the 2 or 4 line, there
will not be sufficient steam to froth the milk.
•
Pour the coffee into the cups.
• One at a time, place the cups containing the coffee under the milk tank tube (fig. 15) and wait
