5 The pod could remain stuck in the upper part of the machine after making the coffee and when removing filter holder. To
remove it, tilt the filter holder (Fig. 17) so the pod can fall onto it. In order to always get an excellent cup of coffee, buy the
pod that bears the E.S.E. compatibility mark.
If the pod is not inserted well, or if the filter holder is not tightened firmly, a few drops of water could leak from the
filter holder.
Filling the water tank during use
No special operation is necessary when the water in the tank runs out as the machine is equipped with a special self-priming
device. Just unplug the machine, pull out the tank and fill it with fresh cool water again.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

To prepare a cappuccino or hot chocolate or to heat any other beverage, press the switch (T); the indicator lamp (S) turns
on. When it turns off, the machine will be ready to generate steam.

mal.

cino device (E) Fig. 8: at first a little water will come out, immediately followed by a strong jet of steam.
Plunge the wand all the way into the pot of milk (Fig. 9) and open the dispensing cock (P) again until you get the result you
want. During these operations you may notice that the warning light (S) goes on and off from time to time, indicating that the
boiler thermostat is keeping the water required for the steam supply at the right temperature.

seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.

temperature by performing these operations: press the steam function switch (T). You may notice that the indicator lamp (S)
is on. This luminous indication serves to tell you that the temperature in the boiler is still high, i.e. it is still that for steam; you
must therefore wait a few seconds until the lamp (S) turns off. If you want to cool down the boiler faster, place a container
underneath the cappuccino maker, press switch (R) and at the same time keep the cock (P) open. Make water come out of
the Maxi Cappuccino device until when the indicator lamp (S) turns back on.

the coffee dispensing switch (R). Open the steam dispensing cock (P) immediately afterwards; in this way hot water will
come out of the spout. The maximum quantity for two cups is 200 ml.

USEFUL TIPS FOR OBTAINING A GOOD ITALIAN ESPRESSO

The ground coffee in the filter holder has to be pressed lightly. Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker depends on the
degree the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the filter holder and the pressing.
Just a few seconds are needed for the coffee to flow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the
coffee is ground too fine or that the coffee put into the filter holder has been pressed too much.

nected from the socket-outlet.
