PRELIMINARY PHASES FOR USE

Using the appliance for the first time

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 stable surface.

Open the tank lid (N). Fill the tank up to the level marked MAX (Fig. 3).

While filling, pay close attention that the water does not dampen the switch area to prevent infiltrations inside the electrical parts.

Insert the plug into the socket, which must be earthed.

Starting the first time

After having filled the tank with cool tap water, start the machine by pressing the button (U). Indicator lamps (V) and (Q) turn on to indicate that the machine is on and that the internal boiler has started to heat up, respectively. Press the coffee dispensing switch (S) until you see water come out of the filter holder seat (Fig. 4). If you are starting the machine for the first time or after a period of time during which it has not been used, it is recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed to pass through the boiler's hydraulic circuit. Also open the cock (P) by slightly turning it anti-clockwise after having placed a container underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device wand (H).

Then close the cock (P) by turning it clockwise, and press the coffee dispensing switch (S) to make the water stop coming out. The machine will be ready to make coffee when the indicator lamp (Q) turns off.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

Put the Thermocream® Disc (D), the perforated silicone disc (E) and the Thermocream® Filter (F) into the filter holder in the order indicated (Fig. 5). Measure out the coffee in the filter and lightly press with the specially provided presser: completely fill two measures for two cups of coffee, and fill only one for one cup. Insert the filter holder into its seat.

Warning!

Tighten well by turning it from left to right while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 6).

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 (R) 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.

To start dispensing, press the switch (S): the coffee will start coming out of the spouts of the filter holder. Press the switch (S) again to stop it. The minimum serving of coffee is 50ml .

Warning!

Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter holder when the dispensing switch (S) is on; danger of burns!

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 (Q) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is tripping, which serves to keep the water temperature optimum.

When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder; this is perfectly normal.

It is a good idea to start dispensing the coffee only when this indicator lamp (Q) is off.

Remove the cup grill (B) to make coffee in a large cup (Fig. 8).

How to make coffee with a pod

To make coffee with pods you must use the specific pod filter (K) that came with the coffee maker as described below:

1 Put the drip tray (L) and pod filter (M) inside the filter holder (K).

2 Place the pod in the filter (Fig. 16).

3 Push the pod towards the bottom of the filter with your fingers (Fig. 17).

4 The pod must be well centred and placed inside the filter.

5 Now it is possible to put the filter holder in its seat. Tighten the filter holder while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 6).

6 The pod could remain stuck in the upper part of the machine after making the coffee and when removing filter holder. To remove it, tilt the filter holder (Fig. 18) so the pod can fall onto it.

In order to always get an excellent cup of coffee, buy the pod that bears the E.S.E. compatibility mark.

If the pod is not inserted well, or if the filter holder is not tightened firmly, a few drops of water could leak from the filter holder.

Filling the water tank during use

No special operation is necessary when the water in the tank runs out because the machine has a special self-priming valve. All you have to do is fill the tank with cool tap water up to the MAX level after unplugging it from the socket-outlet. Pay close attention that the water does not dampen the switch area to prevent infiltrations inside the electrical parts.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

To prepare a cappuccino or hot chocolate or to heat any other beverage, press the switch (R); the indicator lamp (Q) turns on. When it turns off, the machine will be ready to generate steam.

When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder; this is perfectly normal.

Now open the steam dispensing cock (P) anti-clockwise, having the foresight to position a cup underneath

the Maxi Cappuccino device (H) Fig. 9: at first a little water will come out, immediately followed by a strong jet of steam.

Plunge the wand all the way into the pot of milk (Fig. 10) and open the dispensing cock (P). During these operations you may notice that the warning light (Q) 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 this indicator lamp is off. Dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.

After the cappuccino is prepared, press the switch (R) to cut out the steam function.

MAKING FURTHER CUPS OF COFFEE

To prepare a cup of coffee right after making cappuccino, it is necessary to bring the boiler back to the coffee preparation temperature by performing these operations: press the steam function switch (R). You may notice that the indicator lamp (Q) is on. This luminous indication serves to tell you that the temperature in the boiler is still high, i.e. it is still that for steam; you must therefore wait a few seconds until the lamp (Q) turns off. If you want to cool down the boiler faster, place a container underneath the cappuccino maker, press switch (S) and at the same time keep the cock (P) open; make water come out of the Maxi Cappuccino device until when the indicator lamp (Q) turns back on; now close the cock (P) and turn the switch (S) off. Wait for the lamp (Q) to turn off before making another cup of coffee.

HOW TO MAKE TEA OR TISANES

When the machine is in the coffee-ready position, i.e. with the lamp (Q) off, place a cup underneath the spout (H) and press the coffee dispensing switch (S). Open the steam dispensing cock (P) immediately afterwards; in this way hot water will come out of the spout. The maximum quantity for two cups is 200ml .

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

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 efficient 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 filter containing the grounds

Check that the holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush (Fig. 11). Dispense boiling water from the filter holder with the filter inside, without coffee grounds, after placing a glass underneath the dispenser in order to dissolve or remove any coffee residue or impurities.

Warning!

Slowly remove and disconnect the filter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts.

It is advisable to thoroughly clean the filter (F) about every 3 months using 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 filter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after heating for at least five minutes).
• 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 pod filter holder

Start dispensing with the filter holder connected and without the pod inside by pressing the button (S) after having placed a glass underneath the filter holder. In this way any coffee residue or impurities present in the filter holder will dissolve and be removed.

Cleaning the silicone disc

Wash the silicone disc (E) 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. 12).

Cleaning the filter holder seat

Warning!

Each intervention must be carried out with machine off. All elements must be at ambient temperature in order to prevent residual pressure inside the boiler.

With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the filter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 13), or by letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 4).

Loosen the screw in the centre of the filter holder coupling seat (Fig. 14) with a 5mm hex wrench if the machine no longer supplies water or coffee from the filter holder seat. Remove the spring. Put the spring to soak in a descending solution in order to eliminate the residue of lime that prevents its proper operation.

Cleaning the Maxi Cappuccino device

Warning!

Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.

Unscrew the device (H) 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.

Cleaning the tank

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 (A).

Remove the grill (B) and wash it under running water; remove the drip tray (A) from the machine, empty it and wash it under running water.

Cleaning the machine body

Warning!

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

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. Espressione does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for damage to components inside the coffee machine caused by the use of noncompliant 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 the machine is put out of service, electrically disconnect it. Empty the water tank. Use the handle to tilt the appliance and make the water come out of the spout while paying close attention that the water does not dampen the switch area to prevent infiltrations inside electrical parts. Empty the drip tray and clean it (see paragraph "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.
