IMPORTANT

Before unscrewing the water tank cap check that there is no residual pressure in the boiler. To do this, turn the steam knob slowly so that the residual pressure is allowed to disperse. (fig. 7). Do not remove the water tank cap until the steam ceases to escape from the milk tube. To ensure perfect pre-washing, repeat this procedure several times.

The machine is now ready for use.

HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT ESPRESSO COFFEE

For best results, we recommend the use of coarse-ground coffee.

Espresso coffee is served in “demitasse” cups (2 - 21/2 oz.).

Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it counter-clockwise.

Pour the desired quantity of water into the water tank using the glass carafe. Follow the instructions in the paragraph “Filling the water tank” (see table, page 11).

Close the water tank cap carefully by turning it clockwise.

Place the desired quantity of coffee in the filter (fig. 8). Spread the coffee evenly and press down lightly with the bottom of the measuring spoon. Special marks on the inside of the filter show the appropriate levels for 2 and 4 cups of coffee.

Remove any excess coffee from the edge of the filter (fig. 9).

Position the filter-holder underneath the boiler nozzle. Attach to the machine by pushing it upwards and, at the same time, turning to the right (fig. 4) as far as it will go.

The carafe should be placed under the filter-holder in such a way that the nozzle is aligned with the hole in the lid of the carafe (fig. 5).

Position the flow regulator according to the type of coffee desired: from “LIGHT” to “STRONG” (fig. 10).

Press the”Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch. The pilot lamp will light.

Check that the steam knob is in the “closed” position.

The coffee will start to flow from the filter holder nozzle after about 2 minutes (fig. 11). Wait until all the water in the water tank is delivered.

Set the “Espresso/Cappuccino ON/OFF” switch to OFF.

IMPORTANT

Before unscrewing the water tank cap check that there is no residual pressure in the boiler. To do this, turn the steam knob slowly so that the residual pressure is allowed to disperse (fig. 7). Do not remove the water tank cap until the steam ceases to escape from the milk tube.

To remove the used coffee grounds, turn the filter-holder face-down and knock the grounds out (fig. 12). Alternatively, hold the filter-holder and the filter underneath a running tap for a few moments, then allow to drain.

Warning: Metal parts may become very hot

Installing the cup adaptor (if supplied)

The carafe can be used to brew 2 or 4 cups of espresso.

If you prefer to brew 2 cups only, fit the adaptor to the lower section of the filter-holder (fig. 13) and place the cups directly underneath the nozzles. In this way, the coffee will flow directly into the cups.
