• The water inside the bowl is hot.

11. The appliance now is vented and ready for operation.

Making Espresso CAUTION: Do not brew an espresso when the appliance is still under pressure (for example when milk has been frothed ear- lier). With too much pressure in the appliance, espresso leaks at the edge of the brewing head. That may lead to a faster wearing of the rubber seal.

1. Switch the appliance on. The operating control lamp

lights up. The appliance starts heating up. The warming plate heats up. NOTE:

• Use the warming plate to pre-heat your cup(s).

• If you want to pre-heat the cup(s) more rapidly, rinse them with hot water.

2. Fill the water tank with the desired amount of clean,

fresh water. The water level must be between the MIN and MAX markings. Close the lid again.

3. If you frothed milk earlier, completely release the pres-

sure from the appliance: 3.1. Make sure that the pressure switch for the steam is disengaged and the steam control knob is set to OFF. 3.2. Set a suitable vessel under the steam nozzle. 3.3. Set the steam control knob to the MAX position until no more steam comes out. 3.4. Turn the steam control knob back to the OFF posi- tion.

4. Select a lter insert (20 / 21). Place the insert in the lter

holder. Ensure that the lter safeguard is not upright.

5. Fill the lter insert with espresso grounds. Use the

measuring spoon provided (one measuring spoon lling = 1 cup). Spread the espresso grounds evenly and push down slightly with the tamper. Clean the edge of the lter holder.

6. Attach the lter holder to the group head. Ensure that

the lter holder is properly attached in the group head.

7. The necessary brewing temperature is reached as soon

as the indicator lamp lights up. Place your cup(s) under the brewing head exactly on the two holes that you can see in the draining rack.

8. Press the pressure switch to lock it into place. The

hot water is forced through the lter. NOTE: This process ends automatically after about 60 sec- onds.

9. Stop the brewing process by turning off the pump when

the desired amount of espresso is in your cup(s): Press the pressure switch again to release it.PC-ES1209_IM_new 14.01.21

NOTE: Remove the lter holder every time after making es- presso. In this way you extend the lifetime of the group head’s rubber seal.

11. Remove the lter holder from the group head.

12. Empty and rell the lter to brew another cup of es-

Metal parts of lter holder and lter insert are hot. a) Flap the lter safeguard up. Push the lter safe- guard with your thumb towards the lter insert while turning the lter holder around (see Fig.). b) Tap the coffee grounds out of the lter insert. Use a spoon, if necessary. Rinse the remaining coffee grounds with water out of the lter insert.

13. To prepare the next cup / cups of espresso, proceed as

described above. Making Cappuccino Generally cappuccino consists of one-third coffee, one-third hot milk and one-third frothed milk. The milk froth should not be rm enough to be shaped with a spoon. It should be creamy, such as not completely whipped cream, of a viscous texture. For the preparation you need in addition:

• a larger, bellied cup (approx. 180 ml), in which you make the espresso,

• a small frothing jug with spout (e.g. 0.3 ℓ),

• a small, heat-resistant bowl,

• cold milk with at least 3.5 % fat content. CAUTION: Observe the sequence!

For preparation of cappuccino, proceed as described under “Making Espresso”. Froth the milk as follows:

WARNING: Danger of scalding!

Escaping steam can cause injuries. During the heating process hot steam / water can escape from group head and / or steam nozzle!

• Ensure that the steam control knob is set to OFF posi- tion before activating the steam function.

• Do not direct the steam nozzle towards persons.

• Always place a bowl under the steam nozzle.

1. Swing the steam nozzle outwards. Make sure that the

steam tube is attached.

2. Place a heat-resistant bowl under the steam nozzle.

3. Fill the jug half with cold milk.

4. Press the pressure switch to lock it into place. Wait

until the indicator lamp lights up.

5. Briey open the steam control knob towards every

time before using the frothing function to drain collected condensate. The appliance is ready to use if only steam escapes.

6. Place your milk jug with the milk under the steam nozzle.

7. Lift the jug so that the steam nozzle sits just under the

milk surface. NOTE: Do not place the steam nozzle in the centre of the jug but close to the inner wall. This position is important for the milk to get into whirling motion. We recommend using the spout as guide for the steam nozzle.

8. Slowly open the steam control knob towards MAX until

the desired amount of steam is set. Slightly move the jug up and down. Close the steam control knob towards OFF after the milk has frothed to the desired volume (approx. 50 %). NOTE:

• To further heat up the milk insert the steam nozzle all the way to the bottom of the jug. Ensure that the milk does not start boiling. In this case the foam will collapse.

• The water is no longer hot enough if the indicator lamp turns off during frothing. Turn the steam control knob towards OFF. Wait until the indicator lamp lights up again. Now continue frothing the milk.

9. To remove the last coarse air bubbles knock the milk

jug after frothing carefully on the tabletop (as if you would set it down a bit hard). Swivel the milk jug slightly around. This helps to mix the foam after frothing. Now waste no time. Pour the frothed milk slowly into the espresso.

10. Swivel the milk jug slightly around while pouring the

frothed milk slowly into the espresso. NOTE:

• With a few artful movements you can draw designs into the foam.

• Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon to taste on the foam.

11. IMPORTANT: Clean the steam nozzle immediately after

each foaming! When closing the steam control knob a vacuum is created within seconds, which draws some milk into the steam nozzle. Place your heat-resistant container under the steam nozzle. Open the steam control knob briey for a shot of steam to ush milk residue out of the steam nozzle. Wipe the steam nozzle with a damp cloth.

12. You switch off the steam function by disengaging the
