. Turn"ON" the appliance

Step 5

. Placea Nespresso cup

under the capsule holder
spout and wait for both
indicator lights to

illuminate. As soon as the

yellow thermostat light
goes out turn the
program dial to the" ,g "
position. This will allow
plain hot water to run
through the machine.
(Do this for approximately
5 seconds). Doing this
will warm up the machine
and all key parts as well
as your cup. Dispose of

water in the cup. At this

point your machine is
heated and ready for use.

Making Espresso

Step 1

. Remove C'lpsule holder

from the machine and
place a Nespresso
capsule into the capsule

holder, make sure that
the widest part of the
capsule is positioned
facing down in the
bottom of the capsule

holder (flg.10). Insert the

capsule holder into the

10

machine (flg.11) and

turn tightly to the right.

. Each capsule contains

enough ground coffee
for one cup of espresso.

Step 2
. Positionthe warmed cup

under the capsule holder
spout.

Step 3

. Turnthe program dial to

the" ,g" position(fig.12).

When the de~.red amount
of espresso is in the cup,

turn the program dial
back to the "0"

position. Place the cup

aside, remove the
capsule holder from the
machine and dispose of
the used capsule
immediately (fig.13). This
will prevent the system
from becoming clogged
with dried coffee grinds.

. Always reinsert the

empty capsule holder
into the machine to keep

it warm.

If you are preparing more
than one cup of espresso,
disregard the yellow
thermostat light. It simply

indicates that the
thermostat Is regulating

the temperature.

Frothlng'Mn~~: ';

Forcip.p.~i1({"

In addition to preparing
espresso, you can also use

this machine to froth milk for
cappuccino. For best

results, use the "Perfect
Froth" attachment. If it is not

in place attach it at this time

(flg.14).

Step 1
. The first step in making

capPucCino is to make
espresso (See section

"Preparing espresso").
When preparing
cappuccino use a mini
mug or any cappuccino
cup and fill half the cup
with espresso.

If you are making more than
one or two cups of cap-
puccino, it is recommended
that you place the waiting
espresso on top of the war-
ming plate and cover with a
cloth to keep the espresso

hot. Once you are finished
making the required amount
of espresso, then you can

begin frothing your milk for
cappuccino.

Step 2
. Remove the empty

capsule from the
machine and reinsert the

capsule holder back into
the machine.

Step 3

. Take a stainless steel

pitcher and fill '13to '/2
full with fresh, cold milk
and set aside.

This will yield enough froth
for two cups of cappuccino.
If you need more froth,
repeat steps 4-6.

As long as your machine is
turned "ON" and the water

reservoir is properly filled
you can use the steaming

feature. There is no need to
prepare espresso before

using this steaming feature.
As soon as the yellow ther-
me,stat light goes out turn
the program dial to "$"
position.

The thumping sound which
occurs during the hot
steam preparation results

from the interval-controlled

water pump. As the
thumping sound begins a
few drops of water will
come out of the steam
nozzle before changing
entirely to steam

Note:
Before preparing the

machine to steam, any
used capsules must be
removed from the capsule
holder to prevent the coffee
from drying up and
clogging the capsule
housing needle.

& Attention!

The Perfect Froth
attachment should only be

used to froth milk.

Step 4

. Afterthe yellow

thermostat light goes
"out", insert the steam

nozzle half way into the
pitcher and turn the
program dial to the" $ "
position (fig.15). Leave

steam nozzle in the milk
for approximately 45-60
seconds, depending on

how much froth you want
and the type of milk you
are using.

. We recommend using

skim or 2% milk if you'
prefer a stiff, dense froth.
Use regular milk for a
smooth, more liquid type

froth.

& Attention!

Do not bring milk to a boil

(this will happen if large

bubbles start forming at the

surface of the milk). Do not

let the "Perfect Froth" attach-

ment touch the bottom of the

pitcher. This will prevent you

from frothing the milk.

Step 5
. After the milk is frothed,

keep the "Perfect Froth"
attachment in the milk

until program dial is in
the "0" position. This will
prevent any splattering.

. Now, you are ready to

add the frothed milk to
the waiting espresso.

The proportion between
espresso and milk is to
taste; in Italy it is

normally one part
espresso to two parts
milk plus froth.

Step 6

. After the milk is frothed

set aside. If you like ve
stiff froth, let the pitchel

stand for a few second
