Warning!
When removing the tank, be careful not to touch the metal pin of the steam lever (H). Danger of burns!
Fill it again with cool tap water up to the "MAX" level and place it in the relevant seat, making sure it is fitted
securely.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
To prepare a cappuccino or heat any other beverage, move the control lever (B) back to activate the
steam function Fig. 19. The lamp (F) will turn on to show that the steam function is activated and the
lamp (E) will turn on because the water in the boiler has started to heat. The machine has reached the
right temperature for dispensing steam when the lamp (E) turns off.
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder coupling seat;
this is perfectly normal.
Now pull the steam dispensing lever (H) forward, after making sure you have first placed a glass underneath the
Maxi Cappuccino device (J) Fig. 21. First a little bit of water will come out, immediately followed by a strong jet
of steam. Stop dispensing steam by pushing the steam dispensing lever (H) back, and put the pot of milk to be
whipped under the Maxi Cappuccino device. Plunge the wand all the way into the milk and re-open the flow of
steam by gradually lowering the dispensing lever (H) Fig. 22. You will see a thick, creamy froth start to rise within
moments. Pull the steam dispensing lever back up when you have achieved the desired result.
During these operations you may notice that the warning light (E) 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.
it is opportune you start dispensing the steam only when the lamp is off. dispense the steam for a few
seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.
Once the cappuccino is ready, switch off the steam function by putting the control lever (B) back in the vertical
stand-by position.
MAKING FURTHER CUPS OF COFFEE
Once the cappuccino is ready, switch off the steam function by putting the control lever back in the vertical stand-
by position. The lamp (F) will turn off.
Warning!
Steam is still inside the boiler! Even if you have switched off the steam function, do not lower the water/
steam dispensing lever (H). There is a danger of burns causes by squirts of hot water and steam that
might come out of the Maxi Cappuccino device.
The temperature of the water in the boiler is still high, and might compromise the taste of the coffee. So to dis-
pense a cup of coffee right after making a cappuccino, you have to wait for the boiler temperature to go back to
the optimum temperature for making coffee. Wait for the lamp (E) to turn on and then off again.
To speed up the boiler cooling process, just place a glass underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device (J) and with
the control lever in the vertical standby position, lower the water/steam dispensing lever (H) to make hot water
come out of the dispensing water. In this way the boiler temperature will drop.
Warning!
Do not touch the hot water coming out of the spout. Danger of burns.
The lamp (E) will turn on a few seconds later to indicate the boiler thermostat has intervened. The machine will
be ready for making coffee as soon as the lamp (E) turns off again.
little puffs of steam may come out of the closed capsule holder while dispensing. this phenomenon is
to be considered absolutely normal.
HOW TO MAKE TEA OR TISANES
When the machine is in the coffee-ready position, i.e. with the lamp (E) off and with the control lever in the vertical
stand-by position (Fig. 11), place a cup underneath the dispensing wand (J) and gradually lower the water/steam
dispensing lever (H). In this way hot water will come out of the spout. The maximum quantity for two cups is 6½
ounces (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
