direction as far as it will go.

9. Place a suitable vessel (heat-resistant/approx. 500 ml)

under the steam nozzle (10).

10. Turn the function selector switch (5) to the symbol

„ / “. The machine now begins to pump.

To make other espressos, fi ll the coffee bowl (13 or 14) with coffee powder again and carry out the brewing procedure as described above. 05-ES 1906 CB 39 31.05.2006, 14:16:24 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH

Making a Cappuccino To make a cappuccino, you must fi rst make an espresso. Proceed as described under “Making an Espresso” from steps 1 to 15. To froth the milk, proceed as follows:

1. Make sure that the function selector (5) is in O position.

2. Swing the steam nozzle (10) out so that you can position the

container (please use a heat-resistant container) comfortab- ly under the nozzle.

3. Fill the container up to a 1/3 with fresh cold milk (warm, hot

or stale milk does not froth). You will produce more stable foam if you use low-fat milk.

4. Turn the function selector switch to „

“. The „ “ and „ “ control lamps light up. Wait until the „ / “ control lamp lights up. The device is now ready for foaming.

5. Immerse the steam nozzle into the vessel just under the

surface of the milk.

6. Now set the desired steam quantity by carefully turning the

steam regulator (3) and moving the collection vessel gently up and down. Once the milk reaches the desired volume, you can warm the milk more by lowering the steam nozzle (10) to the bottom of the container. Do not make the milk boil or the froth will be ruined.

7. Turn the function selector switch (5) back to the O position;

the device is now switched off.

8. Scoop out the froth into the espresso. Add liquid milk. A

cappuccino is usually composed of 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Your cappuccino is now ready. Improve the fl avor by adding some cinnamon or chocolate powder. Cleaning

• Before cleaning the device please turn the function selector switch to „O“ and remove the mains plug from the socket.

• Before cleaning the machine please wait until it has cooled down.

• The water tank, the drip tray, the drip tray cover of the fi lters and the fi lter holder can be cleaned by hand in warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive detergents. Rinse the parts regularly.

• If the fi lter’s holes are clogged, clean it with a fi ne brush.

• Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.

• Never wash the parts or accessories in a dishwasher. The drip tray has an overfl ow protection. A red-marked “fl oat” (8) is found in the tray. The more water the drip tray contains, the higher the fl oat rises. To empty the tray you can remove the drip tray completely and lift the grid.

• After frothing milk, the steam nozzle is to be immediately cleaned from all milk residues.

• If the milk dries, it becomes diffi cult to remove. To do so, dismantle the steam nozzle. Turn the joint above the steam nozzle through a quarter turn to the left and remove the upper section and the internal pipe (see device overview). Soak the steam tube in a container with water over night so that the milk residue softens. Place a heat-resistant container full of water under the nozzle so that the nozzle is dipped in the water. Then turn the function selector switch to the position and produce some steam, as described un- der “Preparing Cappuccino”. Then turn the function selector switch back to O. Wipe the steam nozzle with a moist cloth to remove the milk residue before it hardens. Descaling

• This appliance should be de-scaled on a regular basis, depending on the frequency of use and the quality of your water (i.e. hardness, mineral contents). Please note: Use solemnly products recommended for household percolators. Please use the product according to its description.

• Use the appliance as described under “making espresso” until the tank is empty. Allow half of the solution to run through the brew head (without coffee and fi lter) and the remaining half trough the steam valve.

• Rinse the tank refi ll it and let 2 – 3 tanks of fresh cold water run through the system until you all odours of the de-scaling product have vanished. 05-ES 1906 CB 40 31.05.2006, 14:16:28 UhrENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
