INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

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.

IV. Insert the plug into a suitable mains socket equipped

with an earth and press the main switch (13). The ON/OFF green pilot light (5) will switch on. 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).

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. Fig. D Fig. E Fig. F Fig. G
