3 When the pilot light comes on, insert the steamer (9) into the liquid to be heated and gradually open the steam nozzle control (8). Always handle the steam nozzle (9) by the protective handle (10), to avoid potential burns. 4 After using, we recommend you clean any traces of dirt on the inside. To do this: 5 Place an empty container beneath it, turn on the steamer switch (8) again and let the steam out. 6 Turn off the steam switch (3). 7_lf you are going to use the steamer (9) continually to heat a large amount of liquid (more than around 100 ml), proceed as follows: once the steam has lost pressure (there is no force), close the steam nozzle (8) control and turn the coffee extraction selector (2) until a little water comes out of [en | the coffee outlet area. Then, wait until the steam switch pilot light (3) comes back on. Repeat these steps as often as you consider necessary. 8 If you want to make coffee after using the steam nozzle, it is advisable to allow two cups of water to run out through the filter holder (with no coffee in the filter) to ensure that the next cup of coffee comes out at the right temperature. +_The maximum steam draw-off time is about 1 min.

5 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

FN Unplug the coffee maker from the mains. 5 Clean the tank and filter holder regularly. # Do not use alcohol, solvents or abrasive products to clean the coffee maker or tray, just a soft damp cloth. +_ If you use the steam nozzle to heat milk, clean it as soon as possible for easy cleaning. Wait for the steam nozzle to cool down and wipe it with a damp cloth. + Every now and again, for more thorough cleaning of the steamer, proceed as follows: wait until the steamer cools down and unscrew its cylindrical part anticlockwise. Wipe the steamer spindle with a damp cloth and soap the cylindrical part. Make sure that the small hole at the top of the steamer is clean before refitting the part. Fit the steamer on its spindle, screwing it clockwise. # The appliance has an automatic de-pressurising system that channels some of the water from the dregs into the tray. It is advisable to remove the water from the cup-holder tray regularly.

LIMESCALE REMOVAL # We recommend de-scaling the appliance once a year using a special product for coffee machines so as to maintain the coffee maker in perfect condition. We recommend the Solac de-scaling agent. Follow the instructions that come with the de-scaling product.
