DeLonghi BCO120T manual HOW to Make Cappuccino, Using the TWO-CUP Adapter

7.Remove excess coffee from the edge of the filter (Fig. 18).

8.To attach the filter-holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (Fig. 19), and push it upwards while turning the handle firmly toward the right.

Always turn the handle as far as it will go.

9.Place the small carafe for espresso under the filter- holder (Fig. 20).

Make sure the filter-holder spouts are inside the opening in the carafe lid.

10.Turn the Vario System selector to the type of coffee you want to make: LIGHT or STRONG (Fig. 21).

11.Make sure that the steam knob is closed by turning it clockwise.

12.Press the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFF button (Fig. 22) for espresso coffee. The espresso/cappuccino ON light will illuminate indicating the espresso coffee maker is operating.

13.After about two minutes, the espresso coffee starts to run out from the filter-holder spouts (Fig. 23). CAUTION: To prevent splashes, never remove the filter-holder while the appliance is dispensing coffee.

14.When coffee no longer runs out of the filter-holder,

press the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFF button to turn the coffee maker off.

15.Pour the coffee into the cups.

16.To dispose of the used coffee grounds, unfasten the filter-holder. Block the filter using the lever incorporated in the handle and empty the grounds by turning the filter-holder upside down and tapping (Fig. 24).

CAUTION: Before removing the filter-holder, to avoid puffs of steam, completely eliminate any residual steam in the boiler by turning the steam knob counter-clockwise (Fig. 25).

NOTE: For safety reasons, when the boiler is hot the cap cannot be opened, but turns without catching. If you need to remove it for any reason, first vent all the steam in the boiler using the steam knob as described above.

USING THE TWO-CUP ADAPTER

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 filter-holder (Fig. 26).

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 counter-clockwise (Fig. 25) (how far you turn the knob determines the amount of steam that will come out). At this point, the milk begins to increase in volume and becomes creamier.

•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.
