Filter spout for the use of the fi lter unit Before using for the fi rst time In order to remove all the dust that has deposited during the packing, wash the glass pot, the fi lter shell, the fi lter holder and the drip collection tray with warm soapy water. 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 will be removed. The preparation of an espresso or cappuccino is diffe- rent from that required for a normal cup of coffee. Both espressos and cappuc- cinos 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! 6....-05-ES 2970 47 28.01.2005, 11:22:43 UhrGB

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 collector cover.

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 distri- bute 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

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

protection. Turn the control knob to brew position. The display lights up. After three minutes the espresso starts to fl ow into the glass pot.

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 To make a cup of cappuccino follow steps 1 to 12 described above for espresso coffee and continue as described below.

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

2. Fill the glass pot with fresh, cold milk without exceeding the 4-cup mark. To

obtain a good foam, use a high-fat milk!

3. Place the glass pot under the steam nozzle. 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 6....-05-ES 2970 48 28.01.2005, 11:22:44 UhrGB

seconds according 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 centimeter 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.

4. 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.

5. 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 brewing 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 recommended 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.

• 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 manufac- turer). 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. 6....-05-ES 2970 49 28.01.2005, 11:22:45 UhrGB
