THE CAPSULE SYSTEM

The machine is designed exclusively for use
with the "Aroma Polti" capsule. Each capsule
contains just the right amount and just the
right grind to obtain the best espresso coffee
in a few seconds. The wrapper on the cap­sule is made of polypropylene, an excellent
material for use in contact with foodstuff. It is
hygienic, convenient, and very resistant to
high temperatures.
The capsule system is not only very convenient
and easy to use, it guarantees all the freshness
and aroma of freshly roasted coffee, so that
you can enjoy your favourite blend.

Use with capsules other than "Aroma
Polti" capsules will result in forfeiture of
the warranty.

SET UP - PREPARATION OF

THE MACHINE

• Carefully remove the machine and the ac­cessories from the package.

• Open the lid, remove the water reservoir (1)
(fig.1) and wash it with clean cold water.

• Fill the reservoir (1) with clean cold water
only, put it back into the machine and close
the lid.
Do not fill the reservoir with carbonated wa­ter or any other liquid.

• Insert the power cable plug (10) into a
suitable earthed socket.

• Turn on the appliance by pressing the main
switch (3). The ON/OFF indicator light will
come on (4).

• The machine will be ready for use about 2
minutes after it is turned on.

• The maximum quantity of coffee that is pos­sible to make is of about 50 ml.

MAKING COFFEE

• Put a cup under the coffee dispenser (6).
The coffee dispenser (6) may be removed
for cleaning or when using a recipient taller
than an espresso cup. Follow the instruc­tions in the “MAINTENANCE” section to re­move it.

• Open the capsule compartment door (7a)
and put a capsule in the compartment (7),
in the position suggested by its shape
(fig.2).

• Close the door, pushing it all the way.

• WARNING: the capsule is automatically
pushed into the compartment when the
door (7a) is closed, pushing it as far as
it will go. Never push the capsule in with
your fingers.

• Press the dispenser switch (8) to have the

coffee come out after a while. When you
have the desired quantity of coffee, press
the switch (8) again to stop dispensing. In
this way you can make longer or shorter
coffee, as you wish, by controlling the
amount dispensed.

• The used capsule automatically falls into

the collection drawer (9) when a new one is
placed in the compartment (7).

Empty the used capsules drawer fre­quently to ensure that used capsules do
not block the exit passage.

NOTE: before switching on the appliance at

the switch (8), make sure that you have in­serted the capsule for the drink you wish to
make, or an empty capsule if you intend to
clean the appliance. If you have not placed
any capsule in it, the water that is dispensed
will not come out of the coffee dispenser (6)
but fall into the used capsules drawer (9).

ENGLISH

WARNING: The first time you use the appli­ance, it is important to do a washing cycle us­ing a cleaning capsule provided as described
in the "MAINTENANCE" section.

MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the appliance before per­forming any maintenance operations.

• Clean the outside of the appliance with a
damp cloth only. Never use solvents or de­tergents, as they could damage the plastic
surface.

@ESPRESSO

• Clean the coffee dispenser (6) periodically

and whenever the machine has not been
used for a long time. To remove it from the
appliance, turn it clockwise as far as it will
go and remove it from its housing (Fig.3).
Rinse it in running water and put it back on
the appliance.

• To clean the brewing elements and to help
maintain your Polti capsule coffeemaker,
use a cleaning capsule at least every 2/3
days. Cleaning is done in exactly the same

ENGLISH

way as making coffee: just put the cleaning
capsule in the machine and make sure
there is enough water available for a cup of
coffee (Fig. 4).

TIPS: Place a dish underneath the outlet to
collect water.

• Empty and clean the drip tray (9) regularly,
by removing it from its housing.

To clean and maintain your Polti capsule cof­feemaker, we recommend using the Clean
Espresso cleaning kit (item code PAEU0176).
Clean Espresso cleans and protects, exten­ding the life of your coffeemaker thanks to two
new, specifically designed formulas (decal­cifying and degreasing).

Clean Espresso is available at
