pressing "EJECT" to eliminate the remnants of grounds.
The filter holder now can be filled again to prepare other espressos.
WITH AN "E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g of selected
coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian
style ristretto (tight) espressos.
This system allows immediate, simple, clean and comfortable use of your machine.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator lamp will flash.
n Tear the excess paper off the pod, put the E.S.E. pod in the filter holder, with the red writing facing
down (fig.6).
Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks.
n If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Never use two pods together.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
WITH A SOfT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods (usually 60 mm in diameter). Given that this
kind of pod is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will get a less full-bodied
espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator lamp will flash.
n Place a soft pod in the filter holder. Never use two pods together. If the pod is not positioned correctly,
the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
6. STEAM FuNCTION
Steam is used to foam up milk (for example to make a cappuccino or a cafe latte) thanks to the
cappuccino accessory.
To produce steam, the pump works by emitting an intermittent noise.
After using the steam function, the appliance cools automatically by pumping cold water through
the heating system. During the pumping cycles, the excess steam in the heating system is released with
the hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important
for cooling the appliance.
Warning: during and after using the appliance, the metal parts of the steam nozzle can become very hot.
USING THE STEAM NOZZLE TO fROTH MILK
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. The indicator lamp flashes (fig.12).
n Move the steam nozzle towards the outside of the appliance.
n Pour 60 to 100ml of fresh skimmed, semi skimmed or whole milk in a small container of about 1/2 litre
and which can pass under the steam nozzle. The milk and its container should be quite cold.
n We recommend that you use pasteurised or uHT milk and that you avoid using unpasteurised 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 a good result, hold the nozzle towards the bottom of the container for about 25 seconds while
the milk heats (without however touching the bottom of the container). Then, bring the container
49
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 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!
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
n Do not wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.
CLEANING 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 cloth. After use, the water tank must
be emptied.
n rinse inside the tank regularly.
n When a thin white layer starts to form in the tank, carry out a descaling operation (see paragraph 9
"DESCALING").
CLEANING Of THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray must be emptied after each time the appliance is used. Lift up slightly and remove it from
the appliance.
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 and 20). The presence of water is normal and is not the sign of a leak.
If necessary, clean the drip tray 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.
CLEANING 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 use a small amount gentle washing-up liquid.
n Do not use alcohol or solvent-based cleaning products.
n For best results, you can activate the "EJECT" button several times during rinsing. We recommend that
you shake the filter holder thoroughly in order to remove all the water.
n rinse and dry.
n When not using your espresso coffee maker, do not leave the filter holder on it, in order to prevent wear
to the seal.
For more thorough cleaning, the filter holder can be dismantled:
n You can remove the black plastic part where the coffee outlets and the "EJECT" button are to be found:
turn it to the left and pull sharply (fig. 22).
n Clean the various components under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid.
n rinse and dry.
