(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to

be given off when removing the filter holder).

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER

HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE

1.After preheating the appliance as described in the

above paragraph, insert the ground coffee filter with

frother into the filter holder, making sure the tab is

correctly inserted into the housing as shown in fig. 13.

2.To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level

measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 14). To

prepare two coffees, use the filter and fill with two

loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6

g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the ground

coffee from overflowing.

Note: use high quality, finely-ground coffee for

espresso coffee makers.

IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the

ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter

is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.

3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it

lightly with the pressing pad (fig. 15).

NOTE: Pressing the coffee is very important in order

to prepare a food coffee. However if you press too

hard, coffee will come out slowly and cream will be

of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come

out too fast and cream will be a very light colour.

Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter

holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.

Rotate firmly (fig. 10) to avoid leaks of water.

5.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by

rinsing under hot water) on the removable drip tray.

Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the

dispensing holes on the filter holder (fig. 16).

6.Wait until the espresso "OK" light comes on (fig. 11)

then turn the selector knob to the espresso function

(fig. 12) until the desired quantity of coffee is

obtained To stop the delivery, turn the selector to the

position (fig. 9).

7.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right

to left.

To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter

holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.

8.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with

the special lever that is built into the handle and let

the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter

holder (fig. 17).

9.To switch off the coffee machine, turn the selector knob

on the appliance to the OFF position "O" (fig. 18)

ATTENTION: The first time that coffee is prepared, it is

necessary to wash all of the accessories and the

internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least five

coffees without using the ground coffee.

HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER

HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted):

1.Preheat the machine as described in the 'Preheating

the Coffee Machine' section, making sure to leave

the filter holder attached to the unit. Following this

procedure ensures that the coffee is delivered at a

hotter temperature, as well as guaranteeing that the

seal of the filter holder gaskets is more effective.

2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into

the filter (fig 19). Always follow the instructions on

the package of the wafers for the correct positioning

of the wafer in the filter.

Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard:

this will be indicated on the packaging by the following

symbol:

The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading

coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso

coffee to be prepared simply and without any mess.

3.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving

from left to right (fig 10).

Note: to ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of

water from the rim of the filter holder, you are

recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs

from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig. 20).

IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be

used after one for ground coffee, it's necessary to

clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso

boiler outlet (fig 21). This cleaning operation is

necessary in order to avoid water leackeges from the

coffe holder for pods whele coffee is being preposed.

4.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous

section on how to prepare espresso.

5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter

holder and simply lift the pod out

6.To turn the coffee machine off, turn the selector knob on

the appliance to the Off position "O" (fig.18).
