SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

POWER CORD Features and advantages

1. Stainless steel cover

2. Plastic knob on cover

3. Stainless steel upper coffee recipient with

4. Ergonomic stainless steel handle

5. Maximum water level plate

6. Stainless steel tube

Conveys the coffee to the upper recipient. The appliance has a short power cord in order to reduce the risks of it getting tangled or tripping someone. The power rating of any extension cord used must be at least equal to that of the appliance. The extension cord must be routed so that it does not hang from the counter and does not cause a risk of people tripping over it.

7. Upper filter plate

WARNING: the appliance is

grounded; the extension cord must also have a ground wire (third wire). Never modify the coffee maker plug in any way. For any problems associated with the plug, consult a qualified electrician. Prevents coffee grounds from entering the upper recipient.

Allows for tight seal between upper and lower recipients.

Maximum 6 cups (26 gm. of coffee). 9(a). 3-cup coffee filter

USE OF THE COFFEE MAKER

10. Stainless steel lower recipient

Prevents explosion risks; the valve automatically discharges excess pressure if the pressure in the lower recipient exceeds 4 bars.

12. Indicator light with reset button

13. Non-heating base

Prevents damage to tables or counters Place the base on a flat and heat resistant surface near an electrical outlet and out of reach of children. FIRST OPERATION Before using the Mocha Maker for the first time, or if it’s been out of use for a long time, fill it to the “6” mark and run it without using coffee. Discard the hot water, switch off, let it cool, then clean it.

Remove the coffee maker from the power base to pour coffee or to serve it directly at the table with no interference from cords.

Before using the coffee maker for the first time, thoroughly wash all components (see the following cleaning and maintenance instructions).

15. Power cord compartment

Located under the base, the compartment prevents clutter on the counter and is ideal when storing the appliance.

To make 3 cups of coffee, unscrew the upper recipient, remove the 3-cup filter adapter and the 6-cup filter basket from the lower recipient, then fill the lower recipient to the 3-cup mark. Replace the 3-cup filter adaptor and the 6-cup filter basket and fill the 3-cup filter with coffee.

16. Water level indicator “3” and “6” cups volume marked on it.

WARNING: Never clean with strong

detergents or abrasives. Never immerse the lower part of the Moka and the base in water or other liquids. Clean only with a soft, moist cloth and dry carefully. To make 6 cups of coffee, follow the above procedure but fill the lower recipient to the 6-cup mark and fill only the 6-cup filter with coffee (the 3-cup filter must be removed). Do not compress the coffee. The use of espresso grind coffee is recommended.

Screw together tightly the upper and lower recipients, place the coffee maker on the base and insert the plug into the electrical outlet. In just a few minutes the coffee will flow into the upper recipient.

When the coffee is ready, the indicator light will go out. Store the coffee maker in a dry place when in use.

Unplug the base from the electrical outlet, pour the coffee and serve. Replace the gasket when it shows signs of wear or damage.

When storing the coffee maker, remove the gasket and leave the upper and lower recipients only loosely screwed together. IMPORTANT: the cover must remain closed during brewing. CAUTION: the stainless steel body may become very hot. Do not touch any potentially hot elements until they have cooled.

WARNING: never use the coffee

maker without water. CLEANING Before cleaning the coffee maker, always remove it from the base and disconnect the plug. Make sure the appliance is resting on a flat surface. Open the cover and with a soft cloth clean the upper recipient, the stainless steel tube and the cover under running water or in lukewarm soapy water. Wipe the upper recipient inside and out with a moist cloth and dry (Fig. 2). To clean the filter plate, remove the gasket and use a needle to dislodge any coffee grounds clogging the holes (Figs. 3 and 4). Clean the lower recipient with a soft cloth and dry it (Fig. 5). Storage: The power cord is attached to the base. To minimize disorder, unroll only enough to safely reach the electrical outlet, leaving the rest coiled in the base. Before storing the appliance, wind the power cord around the feet in the base. Decalcification: After some time of use, calcium deposits may form on the metal parts of the appliance. In order to preserve optimal operation, the decalcification procedure should be carried out on a regular basis to clean the inside of the coffee maker. The frequency will depend on the hardness of the water in your house and how often you use the machine. Pour two tablespoons of citric acid into the filter basket and fill the coffee maker with 300 ml of water. Make sure the coffee maker is properly assembled and that the cover is closed. Place the coffee maker on the base and insert the plug into the electrical outlet. Perform the normal coffee brewing cycle and dump the cleaning solution when finished. After decalcifying, before using the coffee maker again, perform the normal coffee brewing cycle with clean, cold water.
