English
n We recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk and that you avoid untreated milk.
n As soon as the indicator lamp stops blinking, plunge the steam nozzle into the milk.
n Turn the switch to the "steam" position (fig. 13).
n For good results, hold the nozzle at the bottom of the container for about 25 seconds while the milk
heats (without however touching the bottom). Then bring the container down gradually so that the
nozzle moves up towards the surface (without ever coming out of the milk) (fig.14).
n Once the froth has been formed, turn the switch to the "stop" position (fig.15).The appliance will
now automatically cool itself by launching 3 intermittent pumping cycles. Once this is automatic
operation is complete, you can make a coffee.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent the steam nozzle holes from being clogged, the milk foam must not
reach the black plastic upper part.
It is important to clean the steam nozzle after each use to prevent the milk from drying on the inside of
the nozzle. To do so:
n Place the steam nozzle in a container with water and repeat the milk frothing operation for 30
seconds.
ATTENTION!
The steam nozzle is still hot!
4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE APPLIANCE
Do not wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.
OF THE APPLIANCE
n Unplug the power supply before cleaning and let the appliance cool down.
n Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp sponge. After use, the water tank
must be emptied.
n Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.
n When a thin white layer starts to form in the tank, carry out a descaling operation (see paragraph 5
"DESCALING").
OF THE DRIP TRAY
n The drip tray must be emptied after each time the appliance is used. Lift up slightly and remove it
from the appliance.
n If multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, it should be emptied from time to time (every
7 to 8 espressos approximately) (fig.19&20)
n The presence of water is normal and is not the sign of a leak.
n If necessary, clean the drip drawer and its grid with water and a little gentle washing-up liquid, rinse
and dry. When reassembling the components, make sure everything is in the right place.
OF THE PERCOLATION HEAD AND FILTER HOLDER
n They must be cleaned after each use. Simply wipe a damp cloth over the percolation head (fig. 21)
and clean the filter holder under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid.
n Do not use alcohol or solvent-based cleaning products.
