Before use

Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as that indicated on the technical information plate of the appliance. Place the appliance on a flat surface, ensuring the suction cups stick firmly to the surface. Fill the tank with cold water taking care that it is correctly re-inserted in its housing (Fig. 1). Insert the plug into the socket, which must be earthed. Press the switch (O) to start the machine. Indicator lights (P) and (R) will come on, indicating respectively that the machine is on and that the internal boiler has begun to heat up. Press the coffee supply switch (Q) until water is seen coming from the filter ring (Fig. 2).

If you are starting the machine for the first time or after a period of time during which it has not been used, it is recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed to pass through the boiler’s hydraulic circuit. This can be achieved by turning knob (N) in an anti-clockwise direction after placing a cup under the nozzle of the MAXI CAPPUCCINO at- tachment (D). Then close knob (N) by turning it in a clockwise direction and switch of the coffee supply switch (Q) to stop water being emitted.

THE MACHINE IS READY TO MAKE COFFEE WHEN THE INDI- CATOR LIGHT (R) GOES OUT.

How to make coffee

Measure out the coffee into the filter: for two coffees use two full measures and for one coffee, one measure.

The Thermocream® system has been specially designed to best meet all of the consumer’s needs, and is made up of two compo- nents: the Thermocream® filter (I) and the Thermocream® disk

(H) that can be used in the following ways:

- By putting them both into the filter holder, you get a cup of cof- fee with finer cream (Fig. 4b)

-By using only the filter (I), you get a cup of coffee with higher cream (Fig. 4a)

Insert the filter holder into its position. Turn the filter holder anticlockwise 40 to 45 degrees as far as it is possible, without using excessive pressure (Fig. 3). A preheating time of 8/10 minutes is suggested, with the filter ring inserted so this too can be heated as to ensure a nice, hot first cup of coffee. For subsequent coffees this will not be necessary.

The coffee indicator light (R) will go on and off from time to time, indicating that the boiler thermostat is keeping the water at the right temperature. We suggest that both the first and the subse- quent coffees only be made when this light goes out.

Press the central button (Q). Coffee will begin to flow the filter
