Warning!
Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the lter holder. To remove it, turn it
slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.
To remove the coffee residue from the lter, press the lter lock (P) forward over the edge of the lter, turn the lter holder
over and shake it gently (Fig. 13).
When the machine is in stand-by, the lamp (M) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is trip-
ping, 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 rst cup and those that follow.
Filling the water tank during use
Be sure to ll the tank before the water is completely used up.
Turn off the machine, unplug it from the socket-outlet and ll the tank up to the level marked “MAX” with cool tap water. Put
the tank on the machine, making sure it is inserted securely, and turn it back on.
If the tank is left completely dry, air may enter the circuit, preventing coffee from being dispensed. It is therefore necessary
to turn the machine off and let it cool down in order to put it back in service. Place a container underneath the lter holder
coupling seat and turn on the machine by immediately turning the knob (L) to the position ( ) . Make at least one cup of
water come out of the lter holder coupling seat to put the hydraulic circuit back in service. Stop dispensing by putting the
knob (L) back in the central “STANDBY” position. At this point the machine will start to work regularly again.
HOW TO MAKE COFFEE WITH A POD
Put the pod lter (U) inside the lter holder (Q).
1 Place the pod in the lter ring (Fig. 14).
2 Push the pod towards the bottom of the lter with your ngers (Fig. 15).
3 The pod must be well centred and placed inside the lter.
4 Now it is possible to put the lter holder in its seat. Tighten the lter holder while making sure you have hooked it properly
onto the ange (Fig. 10).
5 The pod could remain stuck in the upper part of the machine after making the coffee and when removing lter holder. To
remove it, tilt the lter holder (Fig. 16) 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 lter holder is not tightened rmly, a few drops of water could leak from the
lter holder.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
Wait for the indicator lamp (M) to turn off. It indicates that the boiler has reached the right temperature for dispensing steam.
Warning!
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the lter holder; this is perfectly normal.
Turn the knob (L) to the steam dispensing position (
) after placing a glass underneath the steam pipe (K), Fig. 18. First
some water will come out, followed immediately by a jet of steam whose intensity will increase within a few seconds.
Put the knob (L) back in the “STANDBY” position and place the pot of milk to be whipped under the froth accessory.
Plunge the wand all the way into the pot of milk (Fig. 19) and again turn the dispensing knob (L) progressively on the steam
position (
) until you get the result you want. During these operations you may notice that the warning light (M) 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. Put the knob (L) back on “STANDBY” to stop dispensing steam.
Dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use to free the hole of any milk residue and clean the steam pipe
with a sponge.
USEFUL TIPS FOR OBTAINING A GOOD ITALIAN ESPRESSO
The ground coffee in the lter 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 lter holder and the pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the
coffee to ow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the coffee is ground too ne or that the
coffee put into the lter holder has been pressed too much.
