Do not use coarse or sharp cleansing agents. Wipe the base with a clean and humid towel. Follow carefully the Safety Instructions! It is highly recommended to carry out a complete brewing cycle as described in „Espresso Preparation“ without any coffee powder before making your fi rst cup of espresso or cappuccino. By doing so, any residual dust left inside the espresso machine 05-ES 1913 CB Neu 31 18.07.2006, 17:40:24 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH

will be removed. The preparation of an espresso or cappuccino is different from that required for a normal cup of coffee. Both espressos and cappuccinos are made by pressing boiling water under pressure through fi nely ground coffee. Great attention is needed and it is highly recommended to read carefully all the instructions and safety indications provided herein, before brewing. Tip: It is recommended to serve the espresso or cappuccino in pre-heated cups because the heat helps to retain the aroma! How to make an Espresso

1. Follow carefully the safety indications!

2. Place the control knob in Off position.

3. Lay the drop grid on the round depression in the drop

4. Remove the boiler lid and the fi lter holder. Should there be

water in the boiler, turn the machine upside down and drain the water.

5. Insert the fi lter bowl in the fi lter holder. Swing the fi lter

protection to the back.

6. Fill the fi lter bowl to the desired level (the inside of the fi lter

bowl is marked with measure markings, 2 = 2 cups, 4 = 4 cups) with ground espresso coffee. Spread out the coffee evenly and press it down lightly with a spoon. Important: The reason why the coffee is pressed in the fi lter bowl is to distribute evenly the coffee and not to compress it. If there is too much coffee, the fl ow of the water is blocked. This may cause damage to the machine or lead to injuries. Remove carefully any coffee from the rim of the fi lter.

7. Insert the fi lter holder in the brewing head and turn the

handle to the right (in direction) to position it correctly. Make sure that the fi lter holder is fastened properly to the brewing head to avoid the splashing of hot coffee.

8. Fill the glass pot with enough cold water for the desired

number of cups (do not exceed the 4 cup mark). Pour the water into the boiler.

9. Put back into place the boiler lid and screw it on.

10. Place the empty glass pot with the lid on at the center of the

drip collection grid.

11. Connect the appliance to a duly installed 230V/50Hz socket

with earthing protection. Turn the control knob to brew posi- tion. The display lights up. After three minutes the espresso starts to fl ow into the glass pot. The „Ready“ light goes on.

12. When the brewing is over, turn the control knob to the Off

position. Remove the glass pot from the drip collection grid.

13. Wait a few seconds before removing the fi lter holder.

Remove the fi lter bowl with the fi lter protection. Remove the remaining coffee. Clean the machine as described in „Cleaning and Maintenance“. How to make a Cappuccino First prepare an espresso as described above and then proceed as follows:

1. Fill the hot espresso into (a) pre-heated cup/s.

2. Fill the glass pot up to the symbol

with cold water. Caution - release the residual pressure! Please note the special safety instructions when refi lling with water!

3. Fill up the tank with the stated amount of water.

4. Fill the glass pot with fresh, cold milk without exceeding the

4-cup mark. To obtain a good foam, use a high-fat milk!

5. Place the glass pot under the steam nozzle.

6. Turn the control switch to the release steam setting. After

approx. 1-2 minutes steam comes out of the steam nozzle to froth up the milk.

7. Lift the recipient until the vapor jet is immersed 1/2 cm in the

milk. Turn the control knob slowly to the vapor jet position. The vapor is ejected from the vapor jet to froth up the milk. As the volume of the foam rises, lift the glass pot slightly so that the tip of the nozzle is always immersed in the milk. Continue this operation for approximately 45–90 seconds ac- cording to your taste or until the milk’s volume has doubled. Make sure that the milk does not get too hot or scalded to avoid ruining the froth. Never dip the tip more than a centime- ter into the milk. For proper frothing a hissing sound must be heard. Once the frothing is over, turn the control knob to the Off position. When fi nished, half of the contents of the glass pot will be composed of hot milk and the other half of foam.

8. Scoop out the foam from the glass pot into the cup/s with

espresso coffee. Add some milk. A cappuccino is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk.

9. In order to make sure that no vapor is left in the machine,

place a recipient with cold water under the vapor jet and dip the vapor jet into the water. Turn the control knob to the vapor jet position. The remaining vapor is released if the vapor jet starts to bubble. Important: the pressure of the machine must be released each time before brewing. As soon as the bubbling stops, pressure has been completely reduced. Turn the control knob to the Off position. Wait a few seconds after the brew- ing before removing the fi lter holder. Remove the remaining ground coffee. Clean the machine as described in „Cleaning and Maintenance“. Useful Tips

• The use of fi ltered water or bottled water is highly recom- mended to enhance the taste of the espresso and to avoid the calcifi cation of the machine. Distilled water must not be used, as it is dull and tasteless.

• The secret for frothing the milk is the right technique, which can be acquired only with practice.

• If the brewing time of the coffee is longer than usual (i.e. if it takes too long for the coffee to fl ow out of the brewing head), then it is likely that the coffee is too fi ne, that too little coffee has been used or that the coffee was not pressed enough.

• If the preparation time for the coffee is shorter (i.e. if the coffee fl ows quickly out of the brewing head), then it is possible that either the coffee was too coarse after it had been ground, the amount of coffee used was too small or the coffee was not pressed down fi rmly enough.

• If you prefer to have thicker “foam” for your milk, allow the foamed milk to stand for 30 to 60 seconds before you put it in the espresso. 05-ES 1913 CB Neu 32 18.07.2006, 17:40:27 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH

• If there is a signifi cant increase in the brewing time and/or frequent clogging of the vapor jet occurs, the machine is calcifi ed. Fill the boiler with a citric acid-based decalcifying agent (see dosing instructions provided by the manufactu- rer). Follow the instructions provided above in „How to make an espresso“. Do not fi ll the fi lter bowl with coffee! After this operation carry out 2-3 brewing cycles with clear water. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Follow carefully the safety instructions before cleaning the machine.

• Remove the plug and let the machine cool.

• Use a citric acid-based decalcifying agent for decalcifying. Important Note! After descaling the device boil fresh water in it several times (approximately 3-4 times) in order to remove any residues. Do not consume this water.

• Wipe the machine with a clean humid towel.

• Do not use detergents.

• Wash the fi lter shell, the fi lter holder, the glass pot, the pot lid, the boiler cap and the drip collection grid in a sink as usual.

• Do not wash any of the parts in the dishwasher.

• In order to clean the vapor jet let the vapor out for approxi- mately three seconds after removing it from the milk. Turn the control knob to the Off position and wipe the vapor jet with a clean humid towel. Attention: the metal vapor jet is hot! Seals Warning! Check the seals in the aperture of the boiler and on the fi lter holder regularly. If the fi lter holder can be moved too easily in the brewing head, the seal in the brewing head is worn.

Danger: The fi lter holder can become loose when

under pressure. Do not operate the machi- ne until you have replaced the seal in the brewing head. Technical Data Model: ........................................................................
