You have just purchased the latest innovation in terms of espresso machines. Your machine is equipped with a filter holder that has three exclusive systems:

• One is for the progressive compression of the ground coffee when positioning the filter holder. (OPTIPRESS system).

• The second is for ejecting the used coffee.

• The last one is for the use of E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods or soft pods. It can also be removed, so that you can clean it regularly to keep it in perfect working order. For your safety, the filter holder is fitted with a locking system so that it remains in place when the pressure rises. Before leaving the factory your machine has been checked and tested using real coffee grounds. Although the appliance has then been thoroughly cleaned it is possible that traces of coffee and drops of water may have remained inside the machine. We guarantee that these machines are brand new.

ENG IMPORTANT! If the espresso machine is being used for the first time, the appliance must be clea- ned as described in paragraph 5 “FIRST USE”. The type of ground coffee that you use will determine the strength and taste of your espresso: the finer your coffee is ground, the stronger the espresso. "ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a pod (44 mm in diameter) of 7g of coffee that has been selected, ground and com- pacted between two filter papers especially designed to make Italian style espresso ("ristretto" short coffee). This system permits easy, simple, clean and comfortable use of your machine. ROWENTA 6200 - EO:0828112 9/07/08 9:48 Page 15Proceed as follows:

• Fit the empty filter holder, and place the espresso cups underneath it. As soon as the appliance has reached the right temperature, the orange LED stops flashing.

• To prepare your espresso, follow the same procedure as for the preparation of an espresso with ground coffee.

7. PREPARING THE STEAM

The steam is used to froth the milk (for example when preparing cappuccinos or hot chocolate) and heating water (for tea and other hot drinks).

Turn the selector d1 to the position (fig. 13) (to obtain more steam, the temperature needs to be higher than when making coffee).

• The ON/OFF button LED flashes again then remains lit. The appliance is then ready for use.

• Place the liquid to be heated into a recipient. For best results, we recommend pouring the liquid to be heated or frothed into a recipient with a narrow neck (a small jug for example).

• Plunge the steam nozzle into the liquid.

• Turn the selector d1 to the position (steam) (fig. 14): the steam pours into the liquid.

• For good frothy milk, use circular movements and move from top to bottom (fig. 15). The pump operates intermittently, this is normal.

ENG Your machine is also compatible with soft pods (generally 60 mm in diameter). As this type of pod is not specifically des- igned for espresso machines, you will obtain a weaker espresso than with an E.S.E. pod. ROWENTA 6200 - EO:0828112 9/07/08 9:48 Page 1617 ENG

• In order to obtain good frothy milk, the milk should be very fresh and very cold. We recommend using pasteurised or UHT milk, and not using untreated milk.

• During operation, it is normal for the temperature light of the ON/OFF button to light up and then extinguish.

• When the liquid is hot and/or frothy, switch off the appliance (selector d1 in the position "0").

• When the selector d1 is in the position "0", the appliance cools down automatically. During the cooling down phase, the LED of the ON/OFF button flashes, and hot water runs into the drip tray. When the optimal temperature for preparing an espresso is reached, the LED remains lit.

8. MAINTENANCE AND CLEA-

NING The accessories and removable parts of the appliance are not dishwasher proof. A. The appliance

• Unplug the machine each time before cleaning and leave the appliance to cool down.

• Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp sponge. Wash the tank, the drip tray and its grill regularly and dry them.

• Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.

• When a fine white film obscures the tank, carry out a descaling operation. (see paragraph 9. DESCALING).

• Do not use alcohol or solvent based cleaning products.

• Once the appliance has been unplugged, clean the hot water grill and the seal regularly, using a damp sponge (fig. 16). B. The filter holder The appliance that you have purchased is equipped with a removable ejecting filter holder, which allows you to maintain it in perfect working order. We recommend that you clean it each time after use. These removal/fitting operations must be carried out when the machine has cooled down.

1. Removal of the filter holder:

• Remove the filter holder from your machine.

• Dispose of the used coffee or pod by pressing the ejection button (fig. 11).

• Rinse in clear water.

• Hold the bottom of the filter holder between your thumb and index finger.

• Exert pressure on it with the thumb and index finger at the same time, then pull it downwards (fig. 17).

2. Cleaning and rinsing the filter holder:

The filter holder may then be cleaned using a household detergent and a scouring pad, but must be rinsed afterwards in clear water. For best results, you may actuate the ejection button several times while rinsing. We recommend shaking your filter holder vigorously in order to evacuate all water.

3. Fitting the filter holder:

First inset the bottom of the filter holder into the slot provided for this purpose, then push it in until you hear a "click" which ensures that it is locked into place (fig. 18). C. The drip tray As soon as the level gauge appears, the drip tray must be emptied after first removing the grill (fig. 19 and 20). The presence of water is normal and is not the sign of a leak. If required, clean the drip tray and its grill with water and a little non aggressive detergent. Rinse and dry. IMPORTANT! Once the steam has been stopped, clean the steam nozzle immediately and tho- roughly using a damp sponge (to avoid residues from sticking) and let a little more steam run through into free air to rinse the inside of the nozzle. WARNING! The steam nozzle is still hot! Be careful not to burn yourself. ROWENTA 6200 - EO:0828112 9/07/08 9:48 Page 1718
