The following machine identication data are shown on the plate found underneath the machine’s standing base:

• manufacturer and CE mark

• electrical supply voltage (V) and frequency (Hz)

• absorbed electric power (W)

• assistance toll-free number Always give the model and serial number to the Authorised Service Centres when requesting assistance.

Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as that indicated on the technical information plate of the appli- ance. Place the appliance on a at surface. Remove the water tank (H) from the opening on the machine (Fig. 3), ll with fresh natural water up to the Max mark (1.5 lt), and ret 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 lled from the top, by pouring water through the opening and after lifting the ller cap (I), Fig. 4. Plug the appliance into the mains.

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 relling of the water tank, lift the ller ap (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 ne, 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.

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

The appliance is provided with two interchangeable devices: 1) “Continuous ow” device (M) Fig. 1 for the coffee instantaneous grinding. Put the lter 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 lter ring inserted into the fork. To release, pull the devices (M) or (N) in your direction. If the coffee grinder jams, the dispenser lling 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 lling button (8) so that the blinking indicator lamp turns off. Press the15

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.

Check the water level in the tank (H). Make sure that the water tank is correctly placed into its position. Put the Thermoc- ream® Disc (W), the perforated silicone disc (V) and the Thermocream® Filter (U) into the lter holder in the order indicated (Fig. 11). Measure the coffee in the lter ring (Fig. 9) with the supply device that you have chosen and slightly press it (Fig. 12). Insert the lter holder into its seat

Tighten the lter holder rmly by ensuring it is securely tted against the ange (Fig. 13). If too much ground coffee is put inside the lter, turning the lter holder may prove difcult and/or you may get leaks from the lter holder when the coffee is being dispensed.

It is advisable to let the lter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the rst 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 outow of the coffee (6). Press it again (6) to stop the coffee outow. The maximum dose for one coffee is 50 ml.

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

Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the lter 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.

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® lter (U), and the Thermocream® disc (W) with the perforated silicone disc (V). Cleaning the three components often, will help guaranteeing its preservation in time.

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.

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 ux 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.

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 lter holder coupling seat until the indicator light (2) turns off. Wait until the light turns back on before making coffee.

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

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

All cleaning operations described below must be performed with the machine off and with the electric plug discon- nected from the socket-outlet.

Regular maintenance and cleaning preserve and keep the machine efcient for a longer amount of time. Never wash machine components in the dishwasher. Do not use direct jets of water.

All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.

Check that the holes are not clogged and if so, clean them with a small brush (Fig. 17). Dispense boiling water from the lter holder with the lter inside, without coffee grounds, in order to dissolve or remove any coffee residue or impurities.

Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts. It is advisable to thoroughly clean the lter (U) about every 3 months using Ariete COFFEE CLEAN detergent tabs, which can be found at retail stores and the Authorised Service Centres, following the instructions inside the package. As an alter- native, 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 lter (without coffee) when the machine is hot (after heating for at least ve min- utes).

• Couple the lter holder to the machine and put a container underneath the lter 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 lter 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 lter holder from the machine, remove the lter 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 lter holder with a sponge in order to remove any detergent residue from the shower disc.

• Turn the machine back on, couple the lter 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.

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).

With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the lter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 19), or by letting water run through without tting the lter holder (Fig. 6).17

Do not wash pod lter in a dishwasher.

Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns. Unscrew the device (O) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-abra- sive 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.

Remove the two drawers from the machine, empty them and wash them under running water. Also wash the cup grill (S).

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

Periodically clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp cloth.

Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efcient 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 decalcication procedure to restore its operational efciency. 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 addi- tives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.

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.

If there are problems with operation, immediately turn off the machine and unplug it from the socket-outlet.

Air has probably entered the cir- cuit and deactivated the pump. Make sure the tank is properly inserted and that the water is not below the minimum level. Repeat the operations described in the “Preliminary phases for use” paragraph. The steam exit hole on the dis- penser wand is clogged. Unclog any deposits that may have formed in the hole of the dispenser wand with a pin.

There is little water and the pump does not suck it up. Check that the water level in the tank is correct. If necessary, ll it with cool tap water. The steam exit hole on the dis- penser wand is clogged. Unclog any deposits that may have formed in the hole of the dispenser wand with a pin.

You are trying to dispense the coffee with the steam function on. Check that the steam function button has not been unintentionally pressed. Stop dispensing the coffee. Press button (7) to turn off the steam function. Wait for the indicator lamp (2) to change from blinking to steady before preparing new coffee.18

Probably an excess amount of ground coffee has been placed in the lter ring preventing the lter ring from being correctly tight- ened into its housing. Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts. Clean the coupling seat with a sponge (Fig. 19). Repeat the operation placing the correct quantity of coffee in the lter. Residues of ground coffee have remained on the gasket of the lter holder coupling seat. Clean the seal with a toothpick or a sponge (Fig. 19). The hole of the silicone disc (V) is clogged. Wash the silicone disc (V) under running water, bending it slightly on the sides in order to free the centre hole of any resi- due of coffee that could clog it (Fig. 18). The exit holes of the lter contain- ing coffee grounds are clogged. Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts. Clean the clogged lter hole with a pin. Clean the lter using Ariete COFFEE CLEAN tabs, following the instructions provided in the package.

The holes of the perforated disc in the lter holder coupling seat are clogged. Turn on the machine without the lter holder, making the water run. If the water still does not come out from all the holes evenly, carry out the descaling cleaning operation using the Ariete NOCAL product found at Ariete service centres, follow- ing the instructions provided in the package. The exit holes of the lter contain- ing coffee grounds are clogged. Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder because any remaining pressure could cause splashes or squirts. Clean the clogged lter hole with a pin. Clean the lter using Ariete COFFEE CLEAN tabs, following the instructions provided in the package. The coffee blend is ground too ne. Try using coarser coffee blends. The coffee blend is pressed down too much. Tamper coffee inside the lter using less pressure. The tanks is not inserted well. Fit the tank securely by pushing it as far as it will go. The hole of the silicone disc (V) is clogged. Wash the silicone disc (V) under running water, bending it slightly on the sides in order to free the centre hole of any resi- due of coffee that could clog it (Fig. 18). There is little water and the pump does not suck it up. Check that the water level in the tank is correct. If necessary, ll it with cool tap water.

The blend has been ground too coarsely. A more nely ground blend must be used to obtain a more concentrated and hotter coffee. Anyhow, this problem is eas- ily solved thanks to the Thermocream® System, which always guarantees hot coffee accompanied by a reach cream, even with coarsely ground beans.

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 grind- ing (positions 12-14).19
