Frequently Asked Questions - CAPPUCCINO 1000 POLTI

How to prepare a cappuccino with the CAPPUCCINO 1000?

Fill the milk container with cold milk, place a cup under the spout, and turn the selection lever counterclockwise to the cappuccino symbol. The machine prepares the cappuccino automatically. Return the lever to the '▼' position at the end.

Why is the machine not dispensing?

Check that the small water tank (4) is filled and that the lid of the coffee container (3) is properly closed. If the red indicator light is on, the safety device has been activated: wait for the machine to cool down.

What to do if dispensing is turbulent with steam emission?

The milk or water is not cold enough. Use milk or water at refrigerator temperature (about 10°C) to avoid this.

How to clean the circuit after each use?

Wash the milk container, fill it with water and reinsert it. Place an empty container under the spout, turn the lever clockwise to the water symbol until you get a cup of hot water. This cleans the circuit.

How to clean the coffee dispenser?

Unplug the machine, open the lid, remove the dispenser unit by pressing the tabs, disassemble the doser, the auger and the piston, wash with warm soapy water, dry and reassemble.

What to do if the red indicator light comes on?

The thermal protection device has been activated. Let the machine cool down and check for any blockages. Refer to the 'Protection Device' section in the manual.

How long is the warranty?

The warranty is one year from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects, upon presentation of the original invoice. Failures due to scaling or improper use are excluded.

Can I use regular ground coffee?

No, the CAPPUCCINO 1000 is designed only for freeze-dried soluble coffee. Using ground coffee could clog the dispenser.

Why is my coffee not coming out?

Check that there is coffee in the container and that the soluble coffee has not solidified. If necessary, clean the coffee dispenser as indicated in the manual.

How to get creamier foam?

Use very cold milk (straight from the refrigerator) to get better foam. The milk must be placed in the milk container before dispensing.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

I. Before operating the machine, check that all components are correctly installed as shown in the figure (fig. A) and that the knob on the control plate is on "▼" position.
II. Open the rolltop cover (1) completely allowing it to slide in its guide (D).
III. Fill the container (4) with tap water (fig.E), the capacity is about 250 cc., sufficient to prepare about 20 cappuccinos. To make filling easier, the water container can be taken out and then correctly replaced in its housing.

When the machine reaches its ideal conditions for the preparation of the drink, the heating green pilot light (6) will switch on (For the first dispensing always wait for the green pilot light (6) to switch on, otherwise it may happen that the drink is not perfect).
V. Open the coffee container by removing the cover (3). Place soluble granular type coffee in the container (d) and close it (fig. F). A safety microswitch stops the electric power supply when the cover (3) is not in place. So make sure that the cover is well closed.
VI. Release the container (15) and fill it with the desired amount of cold milk (fig. G). Each level corresponds to the dosage for a cup of cappuccino.
VII. Correctly replace the tray in its housing paying attention that the suction tube is correctly positioned.
VIII. Position the cup on the liquid collector tray (14) (fig. H). The machine is now ready to prepare the cappuccino.

• Fill the container (15) with cold milk as previously described in point VI and VII of the "Instructions for use" paragraph.
• Turn the knob (8) anticlockwise, towards the indicator 📁, the pilot light (7) switches on. A dose of coffee is installed and the milk is drawn up to dispense an excellent cappuccino. Do not worry if you do not hear any noise after turning the selection knob (8); the machine prepares your CAPPUCCINO silently. When the desired amount of milk is reached, turn the knob (8) back to the initial position, indicated with "▼". During all the operation phase the pilot light (7) remains on. Wait a few seconds after the pilot light (7) switches off before withdrawing the cup to collect all the milk in the tube.

PREPARING WHIPPED MILK

• Fill the container (15) with cold milk as previously described in point VI and VII of the "Instructions for use" paragraph.
• Turn the knob (8) clockwise, towards the indicator 📄, the pilot light (7) switches on and the milk will pour into the cup in just a few seconds. When the milk inside the cup reaches the desired amount, turn the knob (8) back to the initial position indicated with "▼". During the operation phase the pilot light (7) remains on. Wait a few seconds after the pilot light (7) switches off before withdrawing the cup to collect all the milk in the circuit.

PREPARING ESPRESSO.

• Place an empty container over the liquid collector grill and perform the dispensing operation by turning the knob (8) clockwise towards the indicator until the equivalent of a cup full of hot water pours out. Turn the knob back to the initial position "▼". By allowing water to pass through the circuit, a self-cleaning operation is performed which eliminates any residual milk.
