(fig. 6) and immediately afterwards press the coffee

Use the following directions to prepare the coffee:

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE

1.After carrying out the preheating of the machine as described in the preceding section, in order to make just one cup of espresso coffee, insert the 1-cup filter (the smaller of the two provided) into the filter holder (Fig. 8) and fill it with one level measuring spoon of ground coffee – about 7 grams (Fig.9). If you wish to prepare two cups of espresso coffee, use the 2-cup filter (the larger of the two provided) and fill it with two less-than-level measuring spoons of ground coffee (about 6+6 grams).

2.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it lightly with the tamper (Fig. 10).

3.Remove any excess coffee from the filter holder rim and hook the filter holder onto the machine, as always, rotating it as far as it will go (fig. 5).

4.Place the cup or cups (better if preheated by rinsing them under hot water) under the spouts of the filter holder (fig. 11).

5.Make sure that the ESPRESSO OK pilot light (fig. 6) is turned on (if it is off, wait until it turns on), then

press the coffee delivery switch (fig. 7) on the machine’s control panel until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained. To stop the flow, press the coffee delivery switch again.

NOTE: After having prepared the coffee it is completely normal for some water to drip from the outlet.

6.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

ATTENTION: to avoid squirts, never detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing.

7.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with the special lever that is built into the handle and let the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter holder (Fig. 12).

8.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4).

HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PREFILLED ESPRESSO PODS (IF FITTED)

1.Preheat the machine as described in the “PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT” section.

2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod onto the filter (fig. 24).

NOTE: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the following symbol:

The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply and without mess.

3.Hook the filter holder onto the machine, as always rotating it all the way (fig. 5).

4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the preceding paragraph.

5.In order to remove the pod, press the filter holder button and take it out.

6.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4).

If you use “illycaffè” coffee pods in your espresso machine, use the special filter holder; insert the coffee pod ensuring the name ‘illy’ is facing down and the long side of the pod is parallel to the handle (see illustration).

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE

FILLING THE STEAM BOILER

•Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it in an anti- clockwise direction.

•Fill the water measuring device up to the 170 gram (6 oz.) line (fig. 13).

•Slowly pour the water into the boiler (fig. 14), first

making sure that the CAPPUCCINO switch is turned off and the steam knob is closed. When the boiler is full, it holds enough water to make 15 to 20 cappuccinos.
