If there is still water in the water container, remove the glass pot and pour out the remaining water. Preparing an Espresso

1. Insert the plug in a duly installed protective contact socket. The espresso switch

must be in off position.

2. Place the metal filter (g) in the filter holder (f). Fill the filter up to the desired level

with ground espresso coffee. Do not press too much. Remove any coffee pow- der on the edge of the filter holder.

3. Place the filter in the machine. Lift the filter holder into the brewing head and

turn it as far as possible to the right until it is firmly in place.

4. Screw in the water container seal (a) counter-clockwise.

5. Fill the fresh, cold water up to the desired mark in the water container with the

aid of the glass pot. Attention: never fill the water container while the appliance is working. The appli- ance must be off.

6. Turn the water container seal (a) clockwise.

7. Position the pot lid on the pot (h) so that the opening is directed towards the

pouring mouth of the pot and fit these under the filter holder.

cup directly under each of the two openings.

9. Just press the "espresso/cappuccino" key to switch on the appliance. The on/off

display lights up. Turn the espresso strength selector to the desired level. Note: Please do not turn the espresso strength selector switch too far in the direction of "Strong" as this prevents the water running into the filter holder.

Turn the filter holder and knock out the used coffee.You can cool it by placing it under cold running water. Before making other coffees, make sure that the water container is empty and no longer under pressure (see the section Warning – Pressure). Remove the filter hol- der (f) Empty the metal filter. Repeat steps 2 to 4 of this section. To stop the brewing, turn the strength selector to the right. To continue turn the strength selector counter-clockwise. Preparing a Cappuccino

1. To make a cappuccino, proceed first in the same way for the making of an

espresso. Fill the glass pot with the desired amount of water. Then add some water for the frothing of the milk. (See the paragraph "Preparing an Espresso).

2. Fill a narrow container up to 1/3 – 1/2 with fresh, cold milk.

3. Switch on the appliance to prepare an espresso. As soon as half of the desired

quantity of espresso has flowed out, turn the espresso strength selector clockwi- se. The brewing is interrupted. Wait until the green steam pressure display lights up. Now the water container has enough pressure and steam to froth the milk.

4. Dip the steam nozzle with frothing accessory halfway into the container with the

milk. Turn the steam control button counter-clockwise.You can help the frothing by moving the container up and down. Do not boil the milk (the milk boils when large bubbles start to surface on the milk surface). Then put the milk aside and leave it to rest.

5. Turn the steam control button clockwise to stop the steam. Warning! The steam

nozzle can become very hot during the process.

6. Turn the espresso strength selector counter-clockwise again to the desired level

and complete the espresso brewing.

7. Pour the espresso into a large cup. Add the milk and the forth. The amount of

espresso and milk depends on your own taste. In Italy usually 1 part of espres- so is mixed with 2 parts of milk plus froth. Only Steam If you wish to heat only the milk, fill the glass pot up to the "steam" mark. It is enough for about 1 min. of steam. Make sure that espresso strength selector is clo- sed (all the way to right).

1. Pour the water into the water chamber and switch on the appliance.

2. Place a cup under the steam nozzle to collect any water that may drip.

As soon as the green light turns on, turn the steam control button.

3. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for preparing a cappuccino and switch off the appliance

when you have finished.

5....-05-KEB 2656 DS Neu 08.09.2003 9:30 Uhr Seite 55Problems and their Causes when making an Espresso (Always check that the plug is plugged in and the appliance is switched on). Making coffee Before making your first cup of coffee, it is highly recommended to let only clear water run through the system for one or two times (without coffee powder in the fil- ter) in order to remove the dust that may have collected in the appliance during transport. Make sure that the water chamber is empty. Take out all the descriptions and other things that may be found in the water chamber. Make sure that the swiveling filter is closed properly during the brewing. Press it in firmly until the handle touched the side of the appliance. Attention: the drop stop mechanism works only when the pot is placed correctly on the hotplate and the swiveling filter is closed correctly. Make sure that the glass pot is positioned correctly when making coffee. Filling the coffee powder

1. Open the swiveling filter (C) and insert a paper filter. Fit the paper filter with your

hand in the filter holder. This improves the result of the brewing.

2. Put the coffee powder in the paper filter.

3. Close the filter with care.

3. No steam comes out

of the steam nozzle:

when frothing: Cause The filter holder is not fit in properly. The filter holder is not pressed in far enough. The seal on the inside is dirty and must be cleaned. There is coffee powder on the edge of the filter holder. No water in the water container. No coffee powder in the filter holder. The strength selector is off. The filter is clogged, because the powder is too fine or pressed in too much. Not enough water in the water container. The steam nozzle is clogged (see Cleaning). Not enough water in the water container to make steam for 45 to 60 seconds. The milk was not cold enough. Use a stainless steel froth container. The milk was not fresh. 5....-05-KEB 2656 DS Neu 08.09.2003 9:30 Uhr Seite 56Filling the water

1. Open the hinged water chamber lid. Pour in the desired amount of water. The

number of cups that can be filled can be read with the water level display on the side of the appliance. Place the glass pot with the lid correctly on the hotplate.

2. Switch on the appliance with the ON/OFF key. The light display shows that

brewing has started. Cleaning These instructions apply both for the coffee machine and for the espresso maker. Switch the appliance off before cleaning. Pull out the plug and leave the appliance to cool. The filter holder, filter basket, pot, pot lid, overflow grid and the collecting tray can be washed in the top tray of the dishwasher. Wipe the appliance with a moist cloth. Never dip the appliance in water or in any other liquid. Clean the brewing head of the espresso maker with a moist towel and remove the coffee powder. If there is still water in the water container, leave the appliance to cool, remove all the loose parts and empty the appliance by turning it over. Cleaning the steam nozzle Clean the steam nozzle after each time it is used, otherwise the inside of the nozzle will clog up and the milk on the outside will become hard and very hard to remove. The front part can be removed for cleaning. If the nozzle is clogged, remove all the milk remains with a sewing needle. After frothing the nozzle should be immediately wiped with a moist cloth. Hold the cloth close to the steam opening and turn the steam control button. Steam the cloth for 1 – 2 seconds. The milk remains are hence expelled. Switch off the appliance. Attention: never open the appliance. Decalcifying the appliance Both appliances are to be decalcified on a regular basis. The interval depends on the hardness of the water and the frequency of use. Before decalcifying the espres- so maker, the brewing sieve on the brewing head must be removed by unscrewing the two screws on the brewing sieve with a cross screwdriver. Tip: these screws are easier to reach when the appliance is tilted to the back. Make sure there is no water in the appliance. Clear signs are: The machine is louder than usual. The machine takes longer than usual. If the appliance is used regularly, decalcify as follows: Use only a commercial decalcifier. Dose it as prescribed on the package or in the instructions and put it into the water container.

5....-05-KEB 2656 DS Neu 08.09.2003 9:30 Uhr Seite 57Switch on the device and steam control button and wait until steam starts to come out of the steam nozzle. Let the steam escape for about 30 seconds. Switch off the steam control button and leave the decalcifying solution run through the brewing head. Switch off the appliance after each brewing and leave it to cool. Repeat the proce- dure. Let two water containers of clear water run through the system. Switch off the appli- ance and leave it to cool. Put the brewing sieve back into place and screw it firmly into place.
