Frequently Asked Questions - Piccolina 900 CECOTEC

How to descale the Cecotec Piccolina 900?

Use a special coffee machine descaler. Fill the water tank with the mixture, run a cycle without coffee, then rinse with clean water. Repeat if necessary.

Why is my machine not heating up?

Check that the machine is turned on and the water tank is in place. If the problem persists, descaling may be necessary or the thermostat may be faulty.

How to clean the brew group?

Remove the brew group and clean it under warm water. Use a soft brush to remove residues. Let it dry before putting it back.

Can I use ground coffee instead of beans?

Yes, the Piccolina 900 has a compartment for ground coffee. Use a measuring spoon and avoid tamping too hard.

How to adjust the grind?

Turn the grind adjustment dial located in the bean hopper. Make it finer for a stronger coffee, coarser for a milder coffee.

What should I do if the machine leaks?

Check that the drip tray is properly in place and that the water tank is not cracked. Make sure the brew group is correctly inserted.

How to prepare a cappuccino?

Use the Panarello system: immerse the steam wand in cold milk, activate steam until frothy, then pour over the espresso.

What is the water tank capacity?

The water tank has a capacity of 1 liter, sufficient for several cups.

Does the machine shut off automatically?

Yes, the Piccolina 900 has a programmable automatic shut-off. By default, it turns off after 30 minutes of inactivity.

3. OPERATION

Assembly and disassembly

- To place the funnel over the water container, simply drop it into the water container until it locks into place.

ENGLISH

• The coffee filter is placed concave in the base of the coffee collector and the rubber gasket is placed on top of it until it fits snugly. You will notice that the filter base fits perfectly with the rubber gasket.
• The coffee collector, with the filter and gasket in place, is screwed to the water container at the top of the container, which is fixed and stable.

Operation

Fig. 2

• After cleaning the moka pot, fill the water container with water up to the valve.
• Place the funnel in the base of the moka pot. Fill the funnel with ground espresso.

NOTE: the coffee grind should be medium and should not be pressed once it has been placed and distributed in the funnel. The more coffee you pour in, the more pressure the water will exert on the coffee and the more intense the taste will be. If too much ground coffee is used, the coffee will not be prepared.

• Place the coffee collector on top of the water container and close it tightly.
• Set the heat of the appliance you are using to heat the coffee to medium-high.

WARNING: when using a gas-flame stove, make sure the moka pot's handle is not exposed directly to the flame.

• After a few minutes, the water will start to boil, and the coffee will filter to the top chamber of the moka pot.
• Pour the coffee carefully.
• Once the moka pot has cooled down, unscrew the top chamber, and clean it thoroughly.

WARNING: do not allow the moka pot to come into contact with salty or acidic substances.

NOTE: these coffee machine models are suitable for any type of heating surface.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
