Frequently Asked Questions - ES 050 ROWENTA

How to descale my Rowenta ES 050 machine?

To descale, use pure alcohol vinegar (not wine vinegar). Pour 1/4 liter into the boiler without the cap, place a container under the filter holder, plug in and let it boil for 1 minute in coffee position. Wait 30 minutes, unplug, empty and rinse several times. Then, perform 2 to 3 rinses with clean water using the steam function.

How to froth milk with the steam wand?

After preparing the coffee, immerse the steam wand in cold milk (preferably whole milk). Turn the knob to steam position. Perform circular motions up and down until you get a dense foam. Stop before boiling. Clean the wand immediately after.

Can I use coffee beans?

No, this machine is designed for ground coffee. Use a grind suitable for espresso. Coffee beans require a grinder.

What to do if coffee flows too slowly?

Possible causes: grind too fine (use a coarser grind), clogged filter (clean it with a brush), dirty water passage grid (clean it cold with a sponge), or scale build-up (descale the appliance).

How to clean the cappuccino accessory?

Disassemble the accessory by pulling downward. Rinse it with clean water to remove milk traces. Do not use alcohol or solvent. Dry it before reassembling.

How much water should be put in the boiler?

The maximum capacity is 240 ml. Do not exceed this volume to get sufficiently hot coffee. For one cup, 25-50 ml is enough; for two large cups, 75-100 ml each.

Why does water leak from the filter holder?

If water leaks from the side of the filter holder, it is often due to a poorly locked filter holder or excess ground coffee on the rim. Check the positioning and remove excess ground coffee.

How to release pressure before opening the cap?

Unplug the appliance and turn the knob to steam position until no more steam comes out. Return to off. This releases residual pressure, avoiding any risk of burns.

Can I use wine vinegar for descaling?

No, use only pure alcohol vinegar. Wine vinegar can leave residues and a bad taste. Alcohol vinegar is recommended in the manual.

What to do if the appliance does not heat up?

Check that the appliance is plugged in and the knob is in an operating position (coffee or steam). If the indicator light does not come on, it may be due to overheating that triggered the safety device. Contact an authorized service center for repair.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the appliance for the first time, follow the instructions in the paragraph "Using for the first time - rinsing" (paragraph 4).

• Supply voltage: this appliance only works with 230-240 V AC current.

Check that your domestic electric mains has the correct supply voltage for this appliance; plugging in the appliance without checking can cause irreversible damage that is not covered by the guarantee.

-This appliance must always be plugged into a mains socket that is connected to earth. If you wish to use an extension cord, make sure that it is rated at 10A minimum with an earth connection and that it is in perfect condition.
- Be Careful: when this appliance is switched on it is under pressure. For this reason, it should be supervised whilst in use.
- Follow the instructions given in the leaflet very carefully when using the steam function to avoid any possible scalds from steam.
- Never remove the filter-holder or open the water tank lid, without having previously released the remaining pressure in the appliance. To do this, unplug the appliance and turn the selector knob to the steam position until all the pressure is completely released.

Turn the knob back to stop (fig. 1).

-Do not stand or use the appliance on hot surfaces (e.g. cooker hotplates) or close to a flame to avoid damaging the plastic parts.
- When using the espresso appliance some of the parts can reach extremely high temperatures, which can cause burns. Always use the insulated filter-holder handle and warn other users of possible dangers (emission of steam, steam nozzle and filter-holder).

  *after use.
• in the event of any any malfunction.
  Household appliances should not be used if:
• the supply cord or the appliance is visibly damaged,
• the appliance has fallen or been dropped or if it is leaking; non-visible damage can affect appliance safety.
• If the supply cord is damaged it should be replaced by the manufacturer, a Rowenta service centre, or a person with an equivalent qualification, to avoid any danger.
• This appliance can only be repaired with special tools. In the event of damage to the supply cord or for any other problem, you should contact an approved service agent (see enclosed list).

3. PRACTICAL ADVICE

For espresso coffee with a powerful aroma, we recommend using freshly ground special espresso coffee. -Keep ground coffee in the refrigerator; it will keep its aroma longer.
- Do not overfill the filter. Use the measuring spoon. Remove any excess ground coffee.

Important!

• Before using for the first time, or after not having used for a considerable time, rinse the appliance as indicated in paragraph 4 "Using for the first time - rinsing".
• Fill the water tank with cold water.
• Never remove the filter-holder or open the water tank lid, without having previously released the remaining pressure in the appliance (paragraph 2).

4. USING FOR THE FIRST TIME - RINSING

Check that the appliance is unplugged.

1. Unscrew the lid of the water tank (fig. 2).
2. Measure out 240ml of water and pour into the tank (fig 3)
   Important: for 'hot' coffee, never use more than this amount of water.
3. Put the lid back on and screw right down (fig. 4).
4. Fit the coffee filter (without any coffee) into the appliance (fig.5): turn it firmly from left to right to put it into 'locked' position (fig. 6).
5. Place one container/cup under the filter holder and another under the steam nozzle
6. Plug the appliance in.
7. Turn the selector knob to the "coffee making" position (fig. 8).
8. The ON/OFF pilot light will light up (fig. 9)
9. After a few minutes, hot water starts dripping. When the container/cup is half full, turn the selector knob gently to (fig. 10).
10. When there is no more steam, turn to stop (fig. 1)

5. MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE

Check that the appliance is unplugged and that there is no pressure. (see safety instructions)

1. Unscrew the lid of the water tank (fig. 2)
   Measure out the right amount of water for your needs and pour it into the water tank. For instance:
   an Italian-sized cup (small cup for strong coffee) = 25 to 50 ml
   a standard-sized cup (for milder coffee) = 75 to 100 ml
   Up to 4 Italian cups or 2 standard cups can be made at one time, without adding water to the tank.
2. Pour the water into the tank (fig 3) and completely screw down the lid (fig 4).
3. Plug in the appliance. Fit the filter into the filter-holder. (fig.5)
4. Put the coffee into the filter holder using the measuring spoon. 1 full measuring spoon is the amount for 1
   French or Italian cup (strong coffee)
5. Remove any excess coffee on the edge of the filter-holder.

Important: do not pack down the ground coffee.

1. Fit the filter-holder into the appliance turning it from left to right and locking it firmly into place (fig. 6).

2. Place a cup or low recipient (max. 20ml ) under the filter-holder (figure 7)

3. Turn the selector knob to "coffee" (fig. 8).

4. The ON/OFF pilot light will light up (fig. 9)

After 1 to 2 minutes, the coffee starts dripping.

Wait until the coffee has stopped dripping before removing the container/cup and then turn the selector knob to the stop position. (fig. 1).

Be careful! We advise you not to switch off the appliance before the "coffee" cycle is completely finished. At the end of the cycle, steam will dry out the coffee grounds thus producing a disc that is dry and easy to remove.

1. Eliminate any remaining pressure in the appliance. To do this, unplug the appliance and turn the knob to steam until all the pressure is completely released. Turn the knob back to stop (fig. 1).

Only once you have done this can the filter-holder be removed.

To throw away the coffee grounds, keep the filter in place by pressing down with your finger on the special tipping lock, turn over the filter-holder and shake it to make the coffee grounds fall out.

6. PRODUCING STEAM FOR REHEATING

Steam is used to froth up milk and also to heat up water (tea, hot drinks).

1. Check that the appliance is unplugged and that there is no contained pressure.

2. Measure out a small amount of water and put it into the tank. For example: 50ml of water to heat up 100ml of water.

Important: for maximum efficiency, avoid putting more than 100ml of water into the tank.

1. Completely screw down the lid (fig. 4).

2. Plug in the appliance.

3. Immerse the steam nozzle in the liquid to be heated up

4. Turn the knob to (fig. 10).

5. The ON/OFF pilot light will light up (fig. 9).

6. Steam is produced after 2 to 3 minutes preheating.

7. Once the liquid is hot, turn back to stop and unplug.

8. Before turning the knob again, turn the knob to the position (fig. 10) to remove any steam, take care to put a recipient underneath the steam nozzle.

Be careful to avoid the risk of burns.

Important: Immediately after use, wash the steam nozzle with a moist sponge.

Making cappuccinos

If you want to make cappuccinos, add 50 ml to the volumes indicated above. We recommend frothing up the milk before making the coffee. After having put the coffee into the filter-holder:

• Fill up a small recipient with milk (use full fat milk if possible for a denser froth). For instance: 2/3 frothy milk to 1/3 espresso coffee.

• Turn the knob to the position

When the steam starts coming out, immediately place the recipient underneath it and make circular movements going up and down to froth up the milk (fig 11). Put a cup underneath the filter-holder

• Turn the knob to the "coffee" position. Once the coffee has finished dripping, delicately pour on the frothy milk to finish the cappuccino.

Let the pressure go down before opening the lid of the water tank.
