8 PREPARING THE BEVERAGES

CLEANING

Before or after a long period of inactivity, it is recommended to carry out a washing cycle on the unit.

•Press the key for 2 seconds. The machine carries out a washing cycle on the unit by passing only water through the circuit.

PREPARING ESPRESSO

•Position the cup or cups under the dispenser spout.

•Make sure that the word “COFFEE” has stopped flashing, which means water temperature reached.

•Press the key to start the dispensing. Dispensing stops automatically, but it can also be stopped beforehand by pressing the same key again.

HOT WATER

•Switch on the water heater for preparing hot water using the key

and wait till the word “WATER” has stopped flashing.

•Position the cup or other container under the nozzle.

•Turn the knob of tap “A” (Fig.7) anti-clockwise to dispense the hot water.

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO

•Select the steam function using the key

•Wait till the word “STEAM” stops flashing on the display.

•Before positioning the container under the steam nozzle, turn the dial “A” (Fig.7) clockwise to flush out the water remaining in the pipes.

•Prepare a medium coffee in a cappuccino cup.

•Fill the 50 cl jug milk with about 10 cl of milk. This is the quantity for preparing one cappuccino. We recommend preparing frothed milk for one cappuccino at a time.

•Introduce the steam nozzle into the milk container so that the spout is positioned on the bottom of the container (Fig. 7A).

•Turn the steam dial anti-clockwise to release the steam and heat the milk for a few seconds.

•Important: Do not heat the milk excessively. Overheated milk no longer produces froth.

•After a few seconds, position the spout of the nozzle at the sur- face of the milk (Fig. 7B).

•When the desired froth is obtained, close the steam tap.

•Pour the milk delicately into the cup previously filled with coffee.

N.B.: If the machine is switched off with the steam or water func- tion activated, this function remains in memory when it is switched back on the next time.

9 CARE AND CLEANING

The appliance must not be immersed in water or other liquids for cleaning.

Let the coffee machine cool down before proceeding with cleaning.

Danger of burning !

Do not use steam appliances for cleaning the machine.

Do not use any detergent substances containing soda, acids, or chlorides! These substances will ruin the surface of the machine.

Regular cleaning guarantees the efficient operation and long life of your espresso coffee machine.

Remove the grille and tray from the machine and clean both the front panel and the inside compartments with a soft sponge dam- pened with a sanitising detergent solution.

Dry with a soft cloth to avoid scratching.

WATER TANK

It is preferable to empty the water tank daily and refill it, when pos- sible just before preparing coffee, with cold potable water.

Wash the water tank by hand using a sanitising detergent solu- tion.

HOT WATER/STEAM DISPENSER

Clean the hot water/steam dispenser with a soft sponge using only water, preferably hot water. To remove any incrustations, we re- commend washing the components in the dishwasher. The steam spout can be unscrewed for washing in the dishwasher. When it is used for frothing milk, it is advisable to release some steam first to flush out any remaining residues of milk or froth.
