USING THE
The adapter must be used when you want to make coffee directly in the cups rather than in the carafe. To apply the adapter, hook it onto the bottom of the
IMPORTANT: When using the appliance for the first time, all the accessories and the internal circuits must be washed as follows:
•DRIP COFFEE MAKER: Make at least two carafes of coffee without using ground coffee (following
the instructions in the section HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE).
•ESPRESSO MAKER: Make at least four cappuccinos without using ground coffee and using water instead of milk (following the instructions in the section HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
•To make two cappuccinos, prepare the espresso coffee as described in the section HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE from point 1 to point 11, but
add the quantity of water required to make two
cappuccinos up to level 2 on the WATER LEVEL side of the carafe, as shown in the table at the end of the instructions. (Note: the quantity of water for making cappuccinos is greater than that needed for espresso. The additional water is used to produce steam to froth the milk).
•Press the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFF
button for espresso coffee. The espresso/cappuccino indicator light will illuminate to indicate the espresso coffee maker is operating.
•Let the coffee drip into the small carafe. When the darker coffee (which is below the lighter colored cream) reaches level 2 on the COFFEE LEVEL side of the carafe (Fig. 27), position the Vario System selector on CAPPUCCINO (Fig. 21). This must be done with the utmost care. If the coffee goes above level 2, there will not be enough steam left afterward to froth the milk.
•Pour the coffee into two sufficiently large cups.
•Pour about 3.5 oz. of milk for each cappuccino you want to make into a container. Use only fresh milk, not boiled and in particular not hot. When choosing the size of container to use, keep in mind that the volume of the milk will double or triple.
•Immerse the cappuccino maker into the milk to about 5 mm (Fig. 28) and turn the steam knob
•When the volume of the milk has doubled, immerse the cappuccino maker down to the bottom to heat the milk (Fig. 29). Close the knob only after all the steam has been released from the boiler.
•Press the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
