How to operate with pods
- Switch on the machine by pushing the ON/OFF switch (U). The ON/OFF pilot lamp will light.
A few drops of water may escape from the boiler nozzle. This is perfectly normal.
- Insert the pod filter (R) in the filter holder (fig. 7);
- Insert the pod in the pod filter (fig. 8);
- Attach the filter holder as described previously (fig. 6), remembering to rotate it towards the right as far as it will go.
- Place the pre-warmed cup on the drip tray under the filter holder spout. When the "OK" pilot lamp
lights (T), press the delivery switch. When the desired quantity of coffee is obtained (generally 20-30
seconds), turn the delivery switch (X) off.
- Wait a few seconds before detaching the filter-holder by turning the handle from right to left.
How to operate with ground coffee
- Switch on the machine by pushing the ON/OFF switch. The ON/OFF pilot lamp will light.
- Insert the 1 or 2 cup filter in the filter holder. If you need to prepare 2 cups, your machine is equipped with an
adaptor (Z) allowing you to dispense the coffee into two cups. To attach this to the filter holder, just align the guide
on the adaptor with the pin on the filter holder, push the adaptor up and turn it (see fig. 13). Place 1 or 2 measu-
res of ground coffee in the filter (Fig. 10). Spread the coffee evently and press by using the tamper (fig. 11).
- Remove any excess of coffee from the filter rim. Put the automatic coffee press on the ground coffee (fig.
12).
- Attach the filter holder as described previously (fig. 6), remembering to rotate it towards the right as far
as it will go.
- Place the pre-warmed cup or cups on the drip tray under the filterholder spout (fig. 14).
When the "OK" pilot lamp lights, press the delivery switch. When the desired quantity of coffee is
obtained (generally 20-30 seconds), turn the delivery switch (X) off.
- Wait a few seconds before detaching the filter holder by turning the handle from right to left.
- To remove the used coffee grounds retain the filter in position using the thumb guard fitted to the hand-
le; turn the filter-holder upside down and knock the coffee grounds out (fig. 15).
If the machine is not used for a long time, switch it off and drain the water tank.
When starting the machine again, carry out a pre-wash as described previously.
HOW TO MAKE AN AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO
- Use a deep metal container, preferably of small diameter. Do not fill to more than 1/3rd, otherwise
the milk may overflow when it boils.
- Switch the machine on by pressing the "ON/OFF" switch (U).
- Press the steam switch (V). After about 3 minutes, the OK pilot lamp (fig. 16) lights to indicate that
the machine has reached the correct temperature for the generation of steam. Immerse the cappucci-
no nozzle in the milk and turn the steam control knob counterclockwise. Adjust the position of the
knob to regulate the quantity of steam delivered by the nozzle.
When using the steam function, a few drops of water may escape from the nozzle: this is completely
normal. However, care should be taken to avoid scalding the milk.
- Immerse the nozzle into milk down to the mark on the "cappuccino" nozzle .
- Lower the container until the nozzle skims the surface of milk (fig. 17), immersing the nozzle slightly
from time to time for a few seconds.
Note: For a few moments, the steam will come out mixed together with a little water. In order to
obtain drier steam, hold the steam knob open for a few seconds.
Note: Immediately after use, clean the steam nozzle as follow:
- Release the steam for few seconds by opening the steam control knob;
- Unscrew the cappuccino nozzle by turning gently to the left (fig. 18) and wash it carefully in hot water;
- Clean the steam tube;
- Replace the steam nozzle;
- From time to time, use a pin to clean the holes in the cappuccino nozzle
