PREPARING FILTER COFFEE

Fig. 1 Fill the tank (4) with cold water, using the water level indicator on the coffee pot for measuring. A quantity of less than two cups is not recommended.

Fig. 2 Place a suitable filter into the swing filter holder (5). Put in one tablespoonful of coffee for each cup of water.

Notes:

• For correct operation, do not use coffee with too fine a grind.

Fig. 3 Place the coffee jug (3), with its lid fitted, on to the heating plate (2), plug the appliance into the mains and press the Café ON/OFF switch (1). The pilot lamp indicates that the coffee maker is working.

Fig. 4 A cup of coffee can be served before the brew cycle has finished. Whenever the jug is removed from the heating plate, the coffee flow will be detained temporarily.

Place the jug back on the heating plate within 20 seconds.

PREPARING ESPRESSO

Plug the appliance into the mains and make sure that the ON/OFF switch (8) is off. Close the steam regulator (9) by turning it clockwise.

Fig. 5 Unscrew the lid on the tank (7) and pour in the desired amount of water. Use the espresso jug (14) for measuring. One cup of water equals one cup of espresso. Screw the lid back on and tighten it securely.

Fig. 6 Place the filter (13) into the filter holder (12). Use the filter's two or four-cup level marks to measure the amount of powder needed. For three cups fill the filter between the two-cup and the four-cup level mark. Clean off any coffee powder that may be left around the edge of the filter holder.

Note: For best results, use a coarsely ground coffee, Italian espresso type.

For correct operation, DO NOT use fine coffee powder. DO NOT pack the coffee powder.

Fig. 7 Use the "" guide mark to fit the filter holder and turn it to the right until it locks. Place the espresso jug (14) underneath so that the opening lines up with the outlet for the espresso.

Make sure that the water tank is closed properly before using the espresso maker.

Do not attempt to open the lid on the tank while there is still pressure inside (for more info see section "Important").

Fig. 8 Turn the aroma/steam selector (9) to the desired position. The "suave" position produces normal coffee, whereas the "intenso" position produces stronger coffee.

Fig. 9 Press the Espresso ON/OFF switch (8). The pilot lamp will light up and after a short heat-up time the espresso will begin to flow out. When the flow stops, turn the switch back to the OFF position.

• The tank can only be opened safely when all the water has been used up and there is no pressure inside it. To be certain that there is no pressure inside the tank:
  • Switch the ON/OFF switch (8) to OFF and unplug the appliance.
  • Place a jug full of water below the steam nozzle (11).
  • Choose the "steam" position on the aroma/steam selector (9) and turn the steam regulator (10) anti-clockwise.
  • When no more steam comes out, close the steam regulator by turning it clockwise.
• After usage the filter holder should be left to cool down for a few minutes before taking it out.

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO

Fig. 10 - 11 Follow the instructions for making espresso. Use the lever mark on the espresso jug to measure the right amount of water. As soon as the first few drops of coffee are forced through the filter holder you can start frothing the milk.

Fig. 12 Place the tip of the steam nozzle half way into the jug of cold milk.

Fig. 13 Set the Aroma/steam selector (9) to the "steam" position.

Fig. 14 Open the steam regulator (10) by turning it anticlockwise. The excess water will flow out through the espresso outlet. Once the froth is ready, move the jug up and down slightly to heat up the milk. Fig. 15 To stop the steam coming out, close the steam regulator (10) by turning it clockwise.

Pour the frothed-up milk onto the coffee.

Do not attempt to open the lid on the tank while there is still pressure inside. When you have finished remember to bring the pressure down by following the instructions stated in the previous point.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance from the mains supply before proceeding to clean it.

Fig. 16 Wash the moving parts with soapy water. The drip tray (15) and the nozzle cover can be removed for easy cleaning. Wipe down the body of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.

Fig. 17 It is necessary to clean the steam pipe regularly to ensure that it does not get clogged. To clean the inside of the steam pipe, fill the water tank (7) with enough water for one cup of espresso coffee and operate the steam nozzle without milk until it stops steaming. Switch off the steam and rub the nozzle down with a damp cloth immediately afterwards. Take care when doing this as it may still be very hot.

Fig. 18 After use, check if both water tanks (4 and 7) are completely empty. Do not store the appliance with the espresso filter holder (12) still fitted.

DESCALING

The coffee maker should be descaled regularly, depending on the water hardness and frequency of use.

1. Descaling the filter coffee maker
   1. Place the empty coffee jug (3) on the heating plate (2).
   2. Dilute three cups of vinegar in nine cups of water and fill the tank (4) with the mixture.
   3. Switch the coffee maker on for one minute. Switch it off and let it stand for half an hour.
   4. Switch the coffee maker back on so that all the water/vinegar solution flows out. Pour this away and clean out the jug.
   5. To flush out any traces of vinegar, run the filter coffee maker through two more cycles using clear tap water.
2. Descaling the espresso maker
   1. Before beginning the descaling operation, remove the filter holder (12) and the filter (13).
   2. Remove the remains of any coffee that might be around the coffee outlet with a damp cloth.
   3. With the help of the marks on the espresso jug (14) dissolve one part vinegar with three parts water and pour the mixture into the water tank (7). Place one container below the coffee outlet and another one below the steam nozzle. Switch the ON/OFF switch on.
   4. Set the aroma/steam selector (9) on steam. Turn the steam regulator (10) on and let steam come out for about thirty seconds.
   5. Close the steam regulator (10) and allow the rest of the mixture to flow out through the coffee outlet head.
   6. Switch the espresso maker OFF and leave it to cool down.
   7. To flush out any remaining vinegar, run the espresso maker through two more cycles using clear tap water. Let the appliance cool down between each cycle.
