Warning!

Remove at least one cup of water from the boiler hydraulic circuit whenever the appliance is turned on the

first time or after it has not been used for a period of time, by pulling the water/steam dispensing lever (H)

forward after placing a container under the Maxi Cappuccino device wand (J) Fig. 10. Push the dispensing

lever back to stop water dispensing.

You will notice that the indicator lamp (E) will turn off, indicating that the boiler has reached the right temperature

for preparing the beverage.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

Put the Thermocream® Disc (Q), the perforated silicone disk (P) and the Thermocream® Filter (O) into the filter

holder in the order indicated (Fig. 2). Use the single spout (S) Fig. 12 for one cup of coffee, and for two cups

put the double spout (T) Fig. 13 on the machine. Measure out the coffee in the filter and lightly press with the

specially provided presser: two measures for two cups and one measure for one cup. Insert the filter holder into

its seat.

Warning!

Tighten the filter holder while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 15).

If too much ground coffee is put inside the filter, turning the filter holder may prove difficult and/or you may

get leaks from the filter holder when the coffee is being dispensed.

It is advisable to let the filter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the

first cup is piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of coffee that follow.

When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from filter holder; this is perfectly

normal.

To start dispensing, pull the control lever (B) forward Fig. 16. To stop dispensing, raise the control lever (B) to put

it back in the vertical standby position (Fig. 18). The maximum serving of coffee is 1½ ounces (50 ml).

Warning!

Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter holder when the control lever (B) is in the

coffee dispensing position; danger of burns!

Warning!

Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the filter holder. To remove

it, turn it slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.

After the coffee is made, gradually loosen the filter holder by turning it clockwise so as to decrease pressure

inside of it. When the machine is in the standby position with the control lever in the vertical position (Fig. 11), the

lamp (E) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is tripping, which serves to keep

the water temperature optimum. It is a good idea to start dispensing the coffee only when this indicator lamp is

off, and this is true for both the first cup and those that follow.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE WITH A POD

To make coffee with pods you must use the specific pod filter (K) that came with the coffee maker as described

below:

1 Place the pod in the filter ring making sure that the part with the word "down" is facing down (Fig. 26).

2 Push the pod towards the bottom of the filter with your fingers (Fig. 27) while making sure the paper edges

adhere to the interior of the filter.

3 The pod must be well centred and placed inside the filter. It is advisable to fold the corners inwards (Fig. 28).

4 Now it is possible to put the filter holder in its seat. Tighten the filter holder while making sure you have hooked

it properly onto the flange (Fig. 29).

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. 30) 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.
