MAKING CAPPUCCINOS AND MILK BASED
COFFEES
Please note:
• To avoid producing milk with poor froth or large bubbles,
always clean the milk container lid and hot water
connection nozzle as described in the section "Cleaning
the milk container" on pages 14 and 16.

Filling and attaching the milk container

1. Remove the lid (fig. 15);
2. Fill the milk container with a sufficient quantity of milk,
not exceeding the MAX level marked on the handle (fig.
16). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to
100 ml of milk.
Please note:
• For a denser more even froth, you must use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
• If "energy saving" mode is enabled, you may have to wait
a few seconds before the first cappuccino is delivered.
3. Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the
bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 17).
4. Place the lid back on the milk container.
5. Remove the hot water spout from the connection nozzle
(fig. 18).
6. Attach the container to the connection nozzle and push as
far as it will go (fig. 19). The machine emits a beep.
7. Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee and frothed
milk spouts. Adjust the length of the milk spout. To move
it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards (fig. 20).
8. Follow the instructions below for each function.

on the milk container lid to the required position (fig.
21).
2. Press the CAPPUCCINO button. "CAPPUCCINO" is displayed,
together with a progress bar which fills gradually as
preparation proceeds.
3. After delivering the milk, the machine automatically
makes the coffee.

CAPPUCCINO button twice.

coffee in the cup, within 3 seconds, press and hold the
CAPPUCCINO button.

for long periods. The warmer the milk (5°C is ideal), the
poorer the quality of froth produced.

cappuccino or macchiato), pressing the CAPPUCCINO button

If during delivery you want to stop preparation, press the
