To enable the function, press the "1-4" button (g. 6). The light
on the button comes on.
To disable the function, press the button again.
Do not use this function when making a whole jug of coee.
The function can also be used in AUTO mode.
5.5 How to make drip coee
• Open the lter holder by rotating it towards the right (g.
7).
• Fill the jug with fresh clean water up to the level indicated
for the number of cups of coee you want to make, taking
care not to exceed the MAX level (g. 8).
• Then pour the water into the coee maker tank
(g. 9).
• Insert the permanent lter in the lter holder (g. 10).
• Place the ground coee in the lter using the measure pro-
vided and distribute evenly (g. 11). As a general rule, use
one level measure of coee (about 7 grams) for each cup
you want to make (for example, 10 measures for 10 cups).
• Close the lter holder, close the jug with the lid and place it
on the warming plate.
• Press the ON/OFF button. The light on the button indicates
that the coee maker is operating.
• After a few moments, the coee starts percolating.
It is normal for the appliance to give o steam during operation.
Once brewed, to keep the coee warm, place the jug on the
warming plate and leave the appliance turned on (with the light
on the "ON/OFF" button on). The coee in the jug will be kept at
the right temperature.
• To turn the appliance o, press the ON/OFF button.
6. MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE
6.1 Preheating the coee unit
To obtain espresso coee at the right temperature, the coee
machine must be preheated:
1. Press the ON/OFF button (g. 12) to turn the appliance on.
The light comes on.
2. Place the lter in the lter holder (g. 13). Make sure the
projection on the lter is inserted correctly in the corre-
sponding slot. Attach the lter holder with lter to the
appliance (g. 14) without adding coee. Use the smaller
lter to make one coee or the larger lter to make two
coees.
3. Place a cup under the lter holder. Use the same cup as will
be used to prepare the coee in order to preheat it.
4. Wait for the light to come on, then immediately
turn the selector dial to the position (g. 15). Deliver
water until the light goes o, then stop delivery by press-
ing the same button and empty the cup.
(It is normal for a small and harmless pu of steam to be given
o when removing the lter holder).
6.2 How to make espresso coee using ground
coee
1. After preheating the appliance as described in the previous
paragraph, use the smaller lter to make one coee or the
larger lter to make two coees.
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of ground
coee (about 7 g) in the lter. (g. 16). To make two cof-
fees, place two loosely lled measures (about 6+6 g) of
ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time to
prevent the ground coee from overowing.
Important:
to ensure correct operation, before placing the ground coee in
the lter holder, clean the lter of ground coee residues left
from the previous brewing.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press lightly with
the presser (g. 17).
10
Correct pressing of the ground coee is essential to obtain
a good espresso. If pressing is excessive, coee delivery
will be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too
light, coee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be
skimpy and light coloured.
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach to the appliance. Rotate rmly (g. 14) to avoid
water leaking out.
5. Place the cup or cups (ideally preheated by rinsing with a
little hot water) under the lter holder spouts (g. 18).
6. Make sure the
light is on (if o, wait until it comes
on), then press the
button (g. 15) until the required
quantity is obtained. To interrupt, press the button again.
7. To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
Danger of burns
To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the ap-
pliance is delivering coee.
8. To dispose of the used coee, block the lter in place
using the lever incorporated in the handle, then empty
the grounds by turning the lter holder upside down and
tapping it rmly (g. 19).
9. To turn the machine o, press the ON/OFF button on the
left side.
6.3 How to prepare espresso coee using pods
1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section "PRE-
HEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the lter holder
is attached. This obtains a hotter coee.
Please note:
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following mark:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading
pod producers and enables espresso coee to be
prepared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the small one-cup or pod lter in the lter holder,
making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the cor-
responding slot as shown in g. 13.
3. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible on the lter
(g. 20). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the lter correctly.
4. Attach the lter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (g. 14).
5. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.
7. HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coees as described in the previous
sections, using suciently large cups.
2. Press the
button. The corresponding light comes on
(g. 21).
3. In the meantime, ll a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. In choosing the
size of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or
triples in volume.
Please note:
You are recommended to use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk at
refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
4. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappucci-
no maker.
5. Wait until the light comes on (g. 21). The light comes
on to indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal temper-
ature for steam production. When the boiler is heating up,
it is normal for a small quantity of water and steam to be
delivered into the drip tray.
6. Extract the cappuccino maker by pushing upwards and ro-
tating it towards the left (g. 22). During this operation,
avoid touching the boiler outlet as it is hot. Then place the
recipient containing the milk under the cappuccino maker.
7. Dip the cappuccino maker in the milk for a few millimetres
(g. 23). Turn the steam dial to the ON position (g.
24). The milk now starts to increase in volume and take on
a creamy appearance;
8. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-
puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk.
When the required temperature is reached (60°C is ideal),
interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam dial to the
OFF position and pressing the button.
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the coee
prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to
taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa
powder.
Please note:
• To prepare more than one cappuccino, rst make all the
coees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the
cappuccinos;
• To make coee again after the milk has been frothed, rst
cool the boiler, or the coee will be burnt. To cool, place a
container under the boiler outlet, press the button
(g. 15) and deliver water until the OK light goes o. Press
the button and make the coee as described in the previ-
ous paragraphs.
You are recommended to deliver steam for a
maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth
milk more than three times consecutively.
11
Important!
For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker should always be
cleaned after use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Deliver a little steam for a few seconds (points 2 and 5 of
the previous section) by turning the steam dial (g. 24).
This causes the cappuccino maker to discharge any milk
left inside. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance
o.
2. Grip the cappuccino maker tube rmly in one hand and
with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anticlockwise
and pull o (g. 25).
