NOTE: For safety reasons, when the boiler is hot, it is not possible to remove its boiler cap as it will spin without opening. If for any reason it is nec- essary to remove it, it is important to always release the steam in the boiler by acting on the steam release knob as described in the previous point.

HOW TO USE THE TWO CUP ATTACHMENT

The attachment allows espresso coffee to drip directly into two cups at the same time. To mount the attachment, fit it to the lower part of the filter holder by attaching the bracket to the handle of the filter holder (fig. 22).

CARE BEFORE INITIAL USE: The first time that cof- fee is prepared, it is necessary to wash all of the accessories and the internal circuits of the machine as follows:

For the drip coffee machine: make at least two pots of coffee without using the ground coffee in the filter (following the instructions in the paragraph How to prepare the drip coffee);

For the espresso coffee: make at least four cups of espresso coffee without using ground coffee in the filter (following the instructions in the paragraph How to prepare the espresso coffee);

HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO

To make two cappuccinos, prepare the espres- so coffee as described in the paragraph “How to prepare espresso coffee” from points 1 through 12; using however, the quantity of water necessary to obtain 2 cappuccinos as indicated in the chart at the end of this text. Note that the quantity of water required for making cappuccinos is greater that the amount necessary for making espresso coffee: the extra water is used for the production of steam for frothing the milk.

Brew the coffee into the small espresso coffee pot. When the darker coloured coffee (which lies under the lighter coffee coloured froth) reaches the level 2 on the “COFFEE LEVEL” side of the small espresso pot (fig. 23), place the Vario System selector to the “cappuccino” mode (fig. 17). Careful attention must be paid to this operation: in fact, if the coffee should

surpass the level 2, there will be no water left in the tank to make the steam for frothing the milk.

Pour the coffee into 2 sufficiently large cups.

Pour approximately 100 grams of milk into the container for each cappuccino to be made. It is important to use fresh milk which has not been boiled (not UHT) and especially not pre- heated. When choosing the container to use for the milk, keep in mind that the frothed milk will increase by two or three times its original volume.

Immerse the frother into the milk by about 5 mm (fig. 25) and turn the steam release knob in a counter clockwise direction, fig. 20 (by turning the knob more or less, it is possible to vary the amount of steam which will come out of the frother tube). At this point, the milk should begin to increase in volume and assume a dense and creamy texture.

When the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the frother deeper into the milk to con- tinue to froth and heat the milk (fig. 26). Turn off the steam knob only after the steam has been completely emptied from the hot water tank: this will keep the milk from remaining trapped inside the steam tube.

Press the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cap- puccino to turn off the appliance.

Pour the frothed milk over the coffee, with the aid of a spoon. Then, as a final touch, sprin- kle a bit of cocoa powder over the frothy milk to have a perfect cappuccino.

In order to make 4 cappuccinos, it is necessary to repeat the previous operations, paying attention to the quantity of ground coffee and water, indicated in the chart at the end of the text. Furthermore, before positioning the Vario System selector to the Cappuccino position, brew enough espresso coffee into the coffee pot to reach the level 4 on the “COFFEE LEVEL” side as indicated in figure 24.

IMPORTANT: The milk frother for cappuccinos must be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Proceed as follows:

Unscrew the milk frothing bit from the tube by turning in a clockwise direction (fig. 27) and
