5.2 Set the nozzle A14 to such a position that the milk frothing process is
comfortable.
5.3 Make sure that the knob A12 is set to the stand-by mode position. Press
button A5 and wait until indicator A4 lights up. This signalises that the water
in the boiler A13 has reached the optimal steam generation temperature. This
temperature is higher than for brewing coffee.
5.4 Place the container with milk underneath the nozzle A14. Submerge the
nozzle A14 just beneath the surface of the milk and set the knob A12 to the
steam release position. The nozzle A14 will start releasing steam. Initially
asmall amount of hot water may be released. Hold the container slightly tilted
to ensure that the nozzle A14 remains constantly submerged just under the
surface of the milk. The milk will circulate in the container, it will heat up and
increase in volume. Milk froth will start to form on the surface of the milk. When
the bottom of the container heats up so that it is hot to touch, stop the milk
frothing by turning the knob A12 to the stand-by mode position. When steam
stops being created, remove the container. Using aswirling motion, whip the
froth into the heated milk.
Attention:
The nozzle A14 must remain submerged during the entire
frothing process. Otherwise hot milk may splash out.
5.5 Pour the frothed milk into freshly brewed coffee and use aspoon to add the
milk froth. The recommended milk and coffee ratio for preparing cappuccino
coffee is ⅓ espresso, ⅓ warm milk and⅓ milk froth. To prepare caffè latte, use
⅓ espresso, ⅔ warm milk and approximately 1 cm of milk froth.
5.6 After using the hot steam release function, it is necessary to drain the remaining
water from the boiler A13; this will prevent the subsequently brewed coffee
from being steamed with water that is too hot. Push out button A5 to the coffee
brewing position. Underneath the spout of the portafilter A7, place acup into
which the hot water will be drained from the boiler A13, and set the knob A12
to the coffee brewing position. Wait until the indicator A3 turns off. Then set the
knob A12 back to the stand-by mode position. The boiler A13 will heat the new
batch of water up to the optimal coffee brewing temperature. This is signalised
by the indicator A3 being lit.
5.7 When you have finished using it, clean out the nozzle A14 and the milk
frothing attachment A15 according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and
maintenance.
5.8 After removing the attachment A15, the nozzle A14 may be used in the same
way to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, etc. When heating water, submerge
the nozzle A14 at least 5 cm under the water level.
6. TURNING OFF THE APPLIANCE
6.1 When you have finished using the appliance, turn it off by setting the switch
A16 to the OFF position.
Note:
The appliance will turn off automatically after 25 minutes of
inactivity or when the pump runs non-stop for 3 minutes in the
coffee brewing mode.
BASIC GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BREWING
QUALITY COFFEE
■
Always brew coffee in aclean espresso machine. Adirty appliance can negatively
impact the taste of the coffee beverage. Instructions for cleaning and removing
limescale deposits are found in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
■
For brewing quality coffee, it is necessary to use fresh drinking water. Do not
use warm, heated, distilled, mineral or sparkling water. Do not leave water in
the water tank A11 for longer than one day.
■
Brew coffee from pre-ground coffee that is intended for espresso machines
or using freshly ground coffee beans. When using ground coffee beans, it is
important to correctly set the grinding fineness. Coffee beans need to be ground
to afine texture but not too fine. If the ground coffee feels like fine flour when
sifted between the fingers then the coffee will be brewed for too long and the
resulting beverage will be too dark and bitter, or the filter may become clogged.
If the coffee beans are ground too coarsely, the brewing process will be too fast
and the resulting beverage will have awatery taste and bland aroma.
■
Select coffee beans, among others according to the roasting date marked on
the package. We recommend consuming freshly roasted coffee beans within 3
weeks of the roasting date. To shorten the storage time, purchase it in smaller
packages. Store it in acool, dark and dry location, ideally in an air-tight container.
■
When using pre-ground coffee, store it in an enclosed container, in dry and
cool conditions. Do not place it in arefrigerator or freezer. Consume within
aweek of opening it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■ Prior to cleaning the appliance, turn it off by setting the switch A16 to the OFF
position, disconnect it from the power socket and allow it to cool down.
■
For cleaning, do not use cleaning products with an abrasive effect, solvents,
etc. that could damage the appliance. No part of this appliance is intended for
washing in adishwasher.
CLEANING THE FILTERS, PORTAFILTER AND BREW HEAD
■
Release the portafilter A7 by turning the handle to the left. Remove it from
the brew head A6 and move it above arubbish bin. Turn the portafilter A7 so
that the filter with used coffee grounds points downwards. Use ateaspoon to
remove the coffee grounds. Avoid coming into contact with the surface of the
filter or portafilter A7 as they may still be hot. Prior to removing the filter from
the portafilter A7, cool it down under cold running water. Then rinse the filter
and the portafilter A7 under clean running water and dry them thoroughly.
■ If you used coffee that was ground too finely, then the holes in the filter may
have become clogged. To clean them out, use athin needle.
■ Remove ground coffee remains from the brew head A6 using adamp wiping
cloth.
Attention:
The brew head A6 remains hot after use due to residual
heat. Allow it to cool down before cleaning it.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
■
The drip tray A9 needs to be emptied and washed every time the appliance
is used.
■
First remove the grate A9 from the drip tray A8 and then remove the water. Wash
the drip tray A9 and the grate A8 in warm water with neutral kitchen detergent.
Then rinse both parts under running water, wipe dry and return to their place.
CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND THE MILK FROTHING ATTACHMENT
■
It is necessary to thoroughly clean the nozzle A14 and the attachment A15
after every use.
■ Take off the attachment A15, rinse under hot running water and wipe dry.
■
Thoroughly clean the nozzle A14 using adampened cloth. In the event that there
are dried milk residues on the nozzle A14, submerge it into acontainer with hot
water to allow them to soak away. In the event that the dried milk residues clog
the steam exhaust outlet, clean it out using aneedle. Finally, clean the nozzle
A14 using adampened cloth, wipe dry and install it on to the attachment A15.
CLEANING THE OUTER CASE
■
Wipe the outer surface of the appliance using alightly dampened cloth and
wipe dry.
REMOVING LIMESCALE DEPOSITS
■
It is necessary to regularly remove limescale deposits from the appliance.
Limescale deposits may negatively affect the quality of the brewed coffee and
the lifetime of the appliance.
■
In the case of daily use of the appliance, we recommended to remove the
limescale deposits:
– once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
– once every 2 to 3 months in areas with soft and medium soft water.
■
To remove limescale deposits, use a solution of 8% white vinegar and water
(recommended dilution ratio of 1:2). Instead of the water and vinegar solution,
it is possible to use citric acid or alimescale remover intended for espresso type
machines. The recommended dosage for citric acid is 2teaspoons per 0.5l of
water. Dose the limescale remover according to the manufacturer’sinstructions.
■ Fill the water tank A11 with the solution all the way up to the maximum level
mark. Connect the appliance to apower socket. Attach the portafilter A7 to the
brew head A6. Place asufficiently large container under the brew head A6 and
the nozzle A14. Allow the majority of the solution to flow through the brew head
A6 and allow the remainder to flow through the nozzle A14.
■
After using the solution, rinse out the water tank A11 using clean water and allow
clean water to flow through the appliance once or twice.
Attention:
Do not forget to regularly check the water level in the
water tank A11 and in the drip tray A9.
