Frequently Asked Questions - Cafe Roma Plus 13291 ARIETE

How to make an espresso with the Cafe Roma Plus?
Fill the water tank with cold water (max 1.5 L), insert the Thermocream filter, silicone disc, and disc into the portafilter. Dose ground coffee (or use the built-in grinder with beans), tamp lightly. Lock the portafilter and press the coffee flow switch (6). Stop when the desired dose (max 50 ml) is reached.
How to prepare a cappuccino?
Make sure the portafilter is removed. Press the steam switch (7). Wait until the steam indicator (3) is steady. Place a container under the Maxi Cappuccino, lower the steam lever to purge some water, then raise it. Dip the tube into cold milk, gradually lower the lever to froth. Once frothed, raise the lever and turn off steam.
What to do if the machine is not dispensing water?
Check that the tank is properly inserted and the water level is sufficient. If air has entered the circuit, prime it: place a cup under the Maxi Cappuccino, lower the steam lever and press the coffee switch (6) to let water flow until the flow is steady.
The coffee flows too slowly, what to do?
This may be due to too fine a grind (use a coarser setting, positions 1-14) or a clogged filter. Clean the Thermocream filter with a COFFEE CLEAN tablet or a needle to clear the holes. Also check that the silicone disc is not blocked.
How to clean the Thermocream filter?
Every 3 months, remove the filter and clean it with a detergent tablet (COFFEE CLEAN or a dishwasher tablet without additives). Follow the procedure: insert the tablet into the filter, run hot water for 15-20 seconds, let it act for 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly.
Why does the coffee grinder jam?
Impurities in the beans can jam the grinder. Press the dispenser fill button (8) to stop, then press the release button (B) and turn the hopper several times. If jamming persists, adjust the grind to a coarser setting (12-14) and try again.
How to descale the machine?
Use exclusively the Ariete NOCAL descaling product based on citric acid. Follow the product instructions. Do not use vinegar or other chemicals that could damage the machine.
Can I use pre-ground coffee?
Yes, you can use ground coffee by using the 'Continuous Flow' or 'Dispenser/Doser' device. Be careful not to tamp too hard and use a suitable grind (neither too fine nor too coarse).
How to clean the Maxi Cappuccino device?
Unscrew the device from the chrome tube (when cold). Wash it under running water. Clean the tube with a non-abrasive cloth. Unclog the steam hole with a needle if necessary. After each use, let steam out for a few seconds to eliminate milk residues.
What to do if water or steam escapes from the edge of the portafilter?
This may happen if the steam function is activated by mistake or if the portafilter is not tight enough. Check that the steam switch (7) is not pressed. If the problem persists, clean the seat gasket with a toothpick or sponge. Also make sure not to overfill the filter with ground coffee.

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 flat surface.

Remove the water tank (H) from the opening on the machine (Fig. 3), fill with fresh natural water up to the Max mark (1.5 lt), and refit it into its housing onto the body. In order to guarantee the correct operation of the appliance, push the tank down as far as it will go. The tank may also be filled from the top, by pouring water through the opening and after lifting the filler cap (I), Fig. 4. Plug the appliance into the mains.

Starting the first time

Press the main switch (5) Fig. 2; the power light (1) will light up and light (2) will start blinking until the operating temperature has been reached. Put a cup underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device and lower the water/steam lever (Fig. 5 - F), and, at the same time, press the coffee brewing button (6) thus bleeding any air or water out of the circuit. Fill up at least a cupful of water. Lift the water/steam lever (F) back up and stop the brewing cycle by pressing the coffee button (6).

For the daily refilling of the water tank, lift the filler flap (I) and pour in fresh natural water through the opening (Fig. 4). Introduce the coffee into the coffee beans tank (D) Max 230 gr (Fig. 7).

Coffee may be ground coarse or fine, as per your personal preferences. To change the grinding level, press the stop button (B) and turn the coffee grinder clock or anticlockwise, following the graded scale, Fig. 8.

This operation must only be performed with the grinder off.

Boiler heating and the dispensing function are cut out while the coffee grinder is operating

Choice of the ground coffee supply device

The appliance is provided with two interchangeable devices:

1) “Continuous flow” device (M) Fig. 1 for the coffee instantaneous grinding. Put the filter holder into the specially provided fork so as to press the button (M/a) located underneath the ground coffee opening, Fig. 9.

2) "Dispenser/Measuring Device" (N) Fig. 10. Keep the switch (8) Fig. 2 pressed until the ground coffee Dispenser is full: operate the Measuring Device lever once or twice, according to how many cups of coffee you wish to prepare, and keep the filter ring inserted into the fork. To release, pull the devices (M) or (N) in your direction.

If the coffee grinder jams, the dispenser filling indicator lamp (4) starts to blink. The reason might be that there are impurities mixed with the coffee beans.

To unblock the coffee grinder, press the dispenser filling button (8) so that the blinking indicator lamp turns off. Press the

button (8) again to restart the coffee grinder. If it does not restart and is still jammed with the indicator lamp (4) blinking, press the button (8) to turn off the coffee grinder. Press the release button (B) and repeatedly turn the coffee grinder right and left. Try to restart the coffee grinder again.

To make unblocking easier, position the coffee grinder on the coarsest grinding (positions 12-14). If the operation is not successful after several attempts, contact the closest Authorised Service Centre.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

Check the water level in the tank (H). Make sure that the water tank is correctly placed into its position. Put the Thermocream® Disc (W), the perforated silicone disc (V) and the Thermocream® Filter (U) into the filter holder in the order indicated (Fig. 11).

Measure the coffee in the filter ring (Fig. 9) with the supply device that you have chosen and slightly press it (Fig. 12). Insert the filter holder into its seat

Warning!

Tighten the filter holder firmly by ensuring it is securely fitted against the flange (Fig. 13).

If too much ground coffee is put inside the filter, turning the filter holder may prove difficult and/or you may get leaks from the filter holder when the coffee is being dispensed.

Check that the steam function button has not been unintentionally pressed.

It is advisable to let the filter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the first cup is piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of coffee that follow

The appliance will be ready for use, as soon as light (2) Fig. 2 stops blinking and stays lit. Then press the switch for the outflow of the coffee (6). Press it again (6) to stop the coffee outflow. The maximum dose for one coffee is 50 ml.

ARIETE Cafe Roma Plus 13291 - Check that the steam function button has not been unintentionally pressed. - 1

Warning!

As with professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter ring when the supply switch (6) is turned on: danger of burns!

ARIETE Cafe Roma Plus 13291 - Warning! - 1

natural_image Illustration of a coffee maker with a handle and two cups (no text or symbols)

ARIETE Cafe Roma Plus 13291 - Warning! - 2

Warning!

Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the filter holder. To remove it, turn it slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.

When the machine is in stand-by, the lamp (2) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is tripping, which serves to keep the water temperature optimum.

If small puffs of steam come out of the filter holder coupling seat, this phenomenon is to be considered absolutely normal.

The ARIETE Thermocream® system was specially designed to best meet all of the consumer's needs, and is made up of two components: the Thermocream® filter (U), and the Thermocream® disc (W) with the perforated silicone disc (V). Cleaning the three components often, will help guaranteeing its preservation in time.

HOW TO MAKE A CAPPUCCINO

Before using Maxi Cappuccino, make sure you detached the filter holder from its housing.

To brew a cappuccino, or a hot chocolate, or to simply heat up any drink, press the steam button (7), Fig. 2. Light (2) will go off and light (3), on the steam button, will start blinking; as soon as light (3) stops blinking and stays lit, the appliance is ready to produce steam.

When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder; this is perfectly normal. Lower the water/steam lever (F), Fig.5, after placing a glass underneath the Maxi Cappuccino stylus (O), Fig. 15. A small amount of water from the nozzle will be immediately followed by strong jet of steam. Stop the steam delivery by lifting the lever (F) back up, position a jug containing whipping milk underneath the stylus, reopen the steam flux by slowly lowering the lever and immerse the stylus deep into the milk: in a few seconds you will notice a thick, creamy foam rising up the jug, Fig. 16.

Once the operation is completed, deactivate the steam function by pressing the steam button a second time (7). The steam light (3) will go off.

Dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.

REUTILIZATION FOR COFFEE

Press button (7) to exclude the steam function. To switch from steam to coffee, you must let the boiler cool down: press the coffee brewing button (6) and make water come out of the filter holder coupling seat until the indicator light (2) turns off. Wait until the light turns back on before making coffee.

HOW TO MAKE TEA OR TISANES

After performing the operations described in the "Preliminary steps for use" chapter, place a cup underneath the Maxi Cappuccino tube (O); lower the water/steam lever (F) and press the coffee (6) and steam (7) buttons at the same time. Water will start flowing out of the Maxi Cappuccino tube (O). To stop the flow, press the coffee button (6). Lift the steam lever.

USEFUL TIPS FOR OBTAINING A GOOD ITALIAN ESPRESSO

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

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

  • Couple the filter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the filter holder.
  • Press the coffee button to start dispensing water, and dispense the water for 15-20 seconds.
  • Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least 15 minutes while keeping the filter 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 filter holder from the machine, remove the filter 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 filter holder with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc.
  • Turn the machine back on, couple the filter 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 silicone disc

Wash the silicone disc (V) under running water, bending it slightly on the sides in order to free the centre hole of any residue of coffee grounds that could clog it (Fig. 18).

Cleaning the filter holder seat

With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the filter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 19), or by letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 6).

DECALCIFICATION

Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient 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 decalcification procedure to restore its operational efficiency. 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.

There is little water and the pump does not suck it up.Check that the water level in the tank is correct. If necessary, fill it with cool tap water.
The coffee is too watery and cold.The blend has been ground too coarsely.A more finely ground blend must be used to obtain a more concentrated and hotter coffee. Anyhow, this problem is easily solved thanks to the Thermocream® System, which always guarantees hot coffee accompanied by a reach cream, even with coarsely ground beans.
Coffee grinder jammed.Impurities are probably mixed with the coffee beans.Press button (8) to stop grinding. Press coffee grinder release button (B) and repeatedly turn the container from left to right, then try again. If the problem persists, try to set coarser grinding (positions 12-14).
