continue to drip out of the tube.

Brew the coffee into the small espresso coffee pot. When the darker colored coffee (which lies under the lighter coffee colored froth) reaches the level 2 on the “COFFEE LEVEL” side of the small espresso pot (fig. 26), place the Vario System selector to the “cappuccino” mode (fig. 19). 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.

Place the cup containing the coffee under the tube of the milk tank, making sure that the milk tank has been attached firmly, then turn the steam release knob in a counter-clockwise direction. The frothed milk will begin to exit from the tube of the milk tank (fig. 23). Before beginning this operation, always wait for the “OK” light (fig. 27) to turn on which indicates that the ideal temperature has been reached for frothing the milk. To keep the milk from spraying it is necessary to slide on the anti- spray nozzle (fig. 28) onto the tube of the milk tank. This is also useful when the cups used for the cappuccino are quite small.

Fill the cup with the desired quantity of frothed milk. To ensure that the milk froths correctly, always wait for the “OK” warning light to turn on before frothing milk between one cappuccino and the other.

ATTENTION: Once the frothing of milk for the last cappuccino has finished, before closing the steam handle always wait until all the steam has come out from the milk tank tube; in this way you avoid the milk going sour in the internal tubes of the frother.

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

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 coffee into the coffee pot to reach the level 4 on the “COFFEE LEVEL” side as indi- cated in figure 29.

To make the perfect cappuccino, we recom- mend the use of the following proportions: 1/3 coffee, 1/3 plain hot milk, and 1/3 frothed milk.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before beginning any cleaning or maintenance operation, turn the machine off, remove the plug from the electrical power source and let the machine cool down.

CLEANING THE MILK FROTHER

The cleaning operations for the milk frother must be done after each use. Proceed as follows:

Remove the milk tank by pressing the ‘C’ lever (fig. 30) and simultaneously pulling upwards; wash it with warm water.

Remove the red milk frothing instrument by pressing down on lever (A) and at the same time, pulling upwards (fig. 30). Remove the rubber mixer, rinse it and clean it thoroughly with hot water, with special attention paid to the holes illustrated in figure 31 (clean them with the use of a needle).

Make sure that the hole marked with the arrow B (fig. 31) has not been clogged (clean it with the use of a needle).

Once clean, all of the pieces must be reassem- bled in the correct order. In particular, make sure that the rubber mixer has been inserted properly all the way down and that the milk tank and the red milk frother have been insert-

ed all the way until a click is heard.

If this cleaning need is not done after every use, the milk frothing operation may not come out well or it may happen that either the milk is not drawn up properly or that the milk drips from the milk tank tube.

OTHER CLEANING PROCEDURES

To clean the machine, do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. A soft damp cloth should be used to clean the surfaces.

Regularly clean the filter holder, the drip col- lection pan, the hot water drip spout, and the coffee pots. Do not wash the filter holder in the dish washer.
