ENGLISH
NOTE: the extraction process will take about 29 seconds.
Tip:
- -A perfect extraction will result in a dark, hazelnut-coloured coffee with reddish hues.
- -After preparing a hot espresso, allow the machine to cool down for 15 minutes before
preparing a cold espresso.
Americano
- Press the Americano icon to prepare an Americano coffee. The corresponding icon will
start flashing, indicating that the appliance is preheating.
- When the icon stops flashing and remains steady, the appliance is ready to brew coffee.
NOTE: the extraction process will take about 41 seconds.
Steam
- Steam has two main functions: to heat the milk and to incorporate air into it to froth it and
therefore obtain a thin layer of crema on the espresso surface.
- Just as learning how to make a good espresso is possible with dedication and practice,
making the perfect froth is an art that can be mastered.
To do so, follow the instructions below:
1. Determine the amount of milk needed based on the number of cups to be prepared.
Tip: please note that when the milk is frothed, its volume and density will increase considerably.
2. Fill a stainless steel jug 1/3 full with cold milk.
3. Activate the steam function by pressing the steam icon. The corresponding icon will stop
flashing and will remain steady when the preheating process is finished, and the appliance
is ready for use.
4. Before frothing milk, purge the steamer to remove any remaining condensed water. To do
this, first position the steamer so that it is positioned over the drip tray and, then, turn the
steam knob slowly to the ON position. Once the steamer has been purged, stop the water
outlet by turning the steam knob to the OFF position.
5. Move the steamer slightly to one side of the coffee machine so that it is easier to froth milk.
6. Insert the steamer through the side of the jug approximately 1 cm deep into the milk and, at
the same time, activate the steam function by turning the knob to the ON position.
7. Tilt the jug so that the steamer rests lightly on the rim of the jug and insert the steamer
until it is in contact with the milk. This will cause a layer of foam to form on the surface of
the milk.
NOTE: do not let the steamer come out unevenly, otherwise the milk will start to bubble and
will not froth properly. In case this happens, insert the steamer deeper into the milk.
8. As the steam heats and froths the milk, its volume will increase. When this happens, dip
35
the steamer further into the milk, tilting the jug so that a whirlpool forms.
9. Once the milk has a frothy texture, move the jug until the steamer is in the centre of the
milk.
Tip: the amount of froth required will vary depending on the type of coffee you wish to prepare.
For example, a cappuccino needs more froth than a latte.
10. Stop the steam outlet by turning the knob to the OFF position.
NOTE: do not boil the milk.
11. Remove the jug, wipe the steamer with a damp cloth and purge it with a steam shot to
remove any residue.
Cooling function
- In order to be able to start brewing coffee again immediately after frothing milk
or steaming, the machine must first be cooled down, because if the temperature is too
high, the coffee may splash out and cause burns.
- To cool the appliance, follow the steps below:
1. After frothing milk, deactivate the steam function by pressing the steam icon.
2. Then, turn the steam knob to the ON position to dispense water through the
steamer and cool down the appliance.
3. Once the machine has cooled down, turn the steam knob to the OFF position so that
no more water comes out and the machine can be used to prepare coffee again.
4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Turn the machine off and unplug it from the mains socket before cleaning.
- Do not immerse the machine in water or any other liquid.
- To clean it, simply wipe it with a clean, damp cloth and dry it before storing it.
Cleaning the filters, portafilter and appliance head
After each use, clean the stainless steel filters and the portafilter with water to remove any
coffee residue.
- To clean the portafilter, insert it into the machine head without ground coffee and activate
the steam function to dispense hot water.
- To thoroughly clean the inside of the coffee machine head and remove coffee residues, use
a clean, damp cloth.
Cleaning the outer housing and the cup-warming tray
- The outer housing and the cup-warming tray can be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth.
- Do not use detergents or abrasive cleaning products.
