prelIMInAry phAses FOr use starting the appliance

Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as that indicated on the technical information plate of the appliance. Place the appliance on a lat surface. Wash the tank the irst time it is used and ill it with cool tap water up to the level marked “MAX”, then be careful to put it back into its seat securely (Fig. 3) following the relevant guide on the bottom of its housing (Fig. 4). Make sure that the control lever (B) is in the vertical standby position (Fig. 5). Insert the plug into the socket, which must be earthed. If water drips out of the pipe inside the tank, this does not mean the machine is faulty but it is a sign that the priming valve is working normally.

Starting the irst time

After having illed the tank up to the “MAX” level with cool tap water, start the machine by pressing the button (A). The indicator lamp (D) will turn on, indicating that the machine is on, as well as indicator lamp (E), indicating that the internal boiler is starting to heat up. Make at least one cup of water come out of the hydraulic circuit of the boiler by pulling the control lever

(B) forward and down, Fig. 8, until you see water come out of the ilter holder coupling seat (Fig. 9). Put the lever back in the vertical standby position. Warning! Remove at least one cup of water from the boiler hydraulic circuit whenever the appliance is turned on the irst time or after it has not been used for a period of time, by pulling the water/steam dispensing lever (H) forward after placing a container under the Maxi Cappuccino device wand (J) Fig. 10. Push the dispensing lever back to stop water dispensing. You will notice that the indicator lamp (E) will turn off, indicating that the boiler has reached the right temperature for preparing the beverage.

Put the Thermocream® Disc (Q), the silicone ring (P) and the Thermocream® Filter (O) into the ilter holder in the order indicated (Fig. 2). Use the single spout (S) Fig. 12 for one cup of coffee, and for two cups put the double spout (T) Fig. 13 on the machine. Measure out the coffee in the ilter and lightly press with the specially provided presser: two measures for two cups and one measure for one cup. Insert the ilter holder into its seat. Tighten the ilter holder while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the lange (Fig. 15). Warning! If too much ground coffee is put inside the ilter, turning the ilter holder may prove dificult and/or you may get leaks from the ilter holder when the coffee is being dispensed. It is advisable to let the ilter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the irst cup is piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of coffee that follow. To start dispensing, pull the control lever (B) forward Fig. 16. To stop dispensing, raise the control lever (B) to put it back in the vertical standby position (Fig. 18). The maximum serving of coffee is 50 ml. Warning! Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the ilter holder when the control lever (B) is in the coffee dispensing position; danger of burns! After the coffee is made, gradually loosen the ilter holder by turning it clockwise so as to decrease pressure inside of it. When the machine is in the standby position with the control lever in the vertical position (Fig. 11), the lamp (E) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is tripping, 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 irst cup and those that follow.

No special operation is necessary when the water in the tank runs out as the machine is equipped with a special self-priming device. All you have to do is switch off the machine and after unplugging it from the socket-outlet, remove the tank.

Warning! When removing the tank, be careful not to touch the metal pin of the steam lever (H). Danger of burns! Fill it again with cool tap water up to the “MAX” level and place it in the relevant seat, making sure it is itted securely.

hOW TO MAKe cAppuccInO To prepare a cappuccino or heat any other beverage, move the control lever (B) back to activate the steam function Fig.

19. The lamp (F) will turn on to show that the steam function is activated and the lamp (E) will turn on because the water in the boiler has started to heat. The machine has reached the right temperature for dispensing steam when the lamp (E) turns off. Warning! When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the ilter holder; this is perfectly normal. Now pull the steam dispensing lever (H) forward, after making sure you have irst placed a glass underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device (J) Fig. 21. First a little bit of water will come out, immediately followed by a strong jet of steam. Stop dispensing steam by pushing the steam dispensing lever (H) back, and put the pot of milk to be whipped under the Maxi Cappuccino device. Plunge the wand all the way into the milk and re-open the low of steam by gradually lowering the dispensing lever (H) Fig. 22. You will see a thick, creamy froth start to rise within moments. Pull the steam dispensing lever back up when you have achieved the desired result. During these operations you may notice that the warning light (E) 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. It is opportune you start dispensing the steam only when the lamp is off. Dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue. Once the cappuccino is ready, switch off the steam function by putting the control lever (B) back in the vertical stand-by position.

MAKIng FurTher cups OF cOFFee

Once the cappuccino is ready, switch off the steam function by putting the control lever back in the vertical stand-by position. The lamp (F) will turn off. Warning! Steam is still inside the boiler! Even if you have switched off the steam function, do not lower the water/steam dispensing lever (H). There is a danger of burns causes by squirts of hot water and steam that might come out of the Maxi Cappuccino device. The temperature of the water in the boiler is still high, and might compromise the taste of the coffee. So to dispense a cup of coffee right after making a cappuccino, you have to wait for the boiler temperature to go back to the optimum temperature for making coffee. Wait for the lamp (E) to turn on and then off again. To speed up the boiler cooling process, just place a glass underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device (J) and with the control lever in the vertical standby position, lower the water/steam dispensing lever (H) to make hot water come out of the dispensing water. In this way the boiler temperature will drop. Warning! Do not touch the hot water coming out of the spout. Danger of burns. The lamp (E) will turn on a few seconds later to indicate the boiler thermostat has intervened. The machine will be ready for making coffee as soon as the lamp (E) turns off again. Warning! Little puffs of steam may come out of the closed capsule holder while dispensing. This phenomenon is to be considered absolutely normal.

hOW TO MAKe TeA Or TIsAnes

When the machine is in the coffee-ready position, i.e. with the lamp (E) off and with the control lever in the vertical stand-by position (Fig. 11), place a cup underneath the dispensing wand (J) and gradually lower the water/steam dispensing lever (H). In this way hot water will come out of the spout. The maximum quantity for two cups is 200 ml.

Filling the water tank during use

The ground coffee in the ilter 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 ilter holder and the pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the coffee to low down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that the coffee is ground too ine or that the coffee put into the ilter holder has been pressed too much.

cleAnIng The ApplIAnce

Warning! All cleaning operations described below must be performed with the machine off and with the electric plug disconnected from the socket-outlet. Warning! Regular maintenance and cleaning preserve and keep the machine eficient for a longer amount of time. Never wash machine components in the dishwasher. Do not use direct jets of water. Warning! All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.

Cleaning the ilter containing the grounds.

Check that the internal holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush. Check that the hole underneath is not clogged and if so, clean it with a pin (Fig. 23). Dispense boiling water from the ilter holder with the ilter inside, without coffee grounds, after placing a glass underneath the dispenser in order to dissolve or remove any coffee residue or impurities. It is advisable to thoroughly clean the ilter (O) about every 3 months using Ariete COFFEE CLEAN detergent tabs, which can be found at retail stores and the Authorised Service Centres, following the instructions inside the package. As an alternative, you can use a simple dishwasher detergent tab (without added rinse aid or other chemical additives) as follows: • Put a dishwasher detergent tab into the ilter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after heating for at least ive minutes). • Couple the ilter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the ilter holder. • Push the control lever (B) forward to start water supply, and dispense water for 15-20 seconds. • Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least 15 minutes while keeping the ilter holder coupled on the machine. • Repeat the water dispensing operation by operating the pump for about 15-20 seconds, and then letting it rest for another 15-20 seconds, until two tanks of water are used up. • Remove the ilter holder from the machine, remove the ilter and rinse it well under running tap water. • Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from the socket-outlet and clean the coupling seat of the ilter holder with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc. • Turn the machine back on, couple the ilter holder once again and dispense at least 2 cups of water again to complete the rinsing. If the coffee machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the cleaning operation at least every three months.

Cleaning the ilter holder seat

With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the ilter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 24), or by letting water run through without itting the ilter holder (Fig. 9).

cleaning the MAXI cAppuccInO device

Warning Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns. Unscrew the device (J) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth. Screw the cappuccino maker back on as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the small steam outlet hole again with a pin. After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.

Periodically clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp cloth.

cleaning the grill and drip tray

Remember to empty the drip tray from time to time (N). Remove the grill (M) and wash it under running water. Remove the drip tray (N) from the machine, empty it and wash it under running water.

cleaning the machine body

Clean the ixed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the body.

Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine eficient for a longer amount of time, considerably limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly as a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalciication procedure to restore its operational eficiency. For this purpose you must use only Ariete’s, citric acid-based decalcifying products (NOCAL). This product is easily found at the Ariete technical service centres. Ariete does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for damage to components inside the coffee machine caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical additives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.

puTTIng OuT OF serVIce

If you want to put the machine out of service, you must disconnect it electrically, empty the water tank and drip tray and clean it (see the paragraph on “Cleaning the appliance”). In the case of scrapping, you must separate the various materials used in making the machine and dispose of them based on their composition and on the legal provisions in force in the country of use.

If there are problems with operation, immediately turn off the machine and unplug it from the socket-outlet.
