touching directly with your hands.

When the appliance is ready to dispense coffee, press the button (25), the LEDs (23) and (24) switch off. The appliance goes through a preheating period; during this phase, the LED (25) flashes.

Before dispensing steam, wait for the green temperature-ready LED (25) to light up in a fixed way; this indicates that the correct ope- rative temperature has been reached.

Direct the steam nozzle (14) towards the drip tray and turn the “hot water/steam” knob (16) for a few seconds so that any residual water comes out of the steam nozzle. Continue until only steam is dispensed.

Turn the knob (16) to OFF.

Fill 1/3 of the vessel that you wish to use to make cappuccino with cold milk.

For best results when making cappuccinos, the milk and the used

cup should be cold.

Immerse the steam nozzle into the milk to be frothed and turn the knob (16); turn the container slowly with up-down movements to make uniform frothing (Fig.16).

After using the steam for the desired time, shut off the steam (16).

The same system can be used to heat other beverages.

Clean the steam nozzle with a damp cloth (Fig.17)

10CLEANING AND MAINTE- NANCE

General Cleaning

Maintenance and cleaning should only be carried out when the appliance is cold and disconnected from the power supply.

Do not immerse the appliance in water and do not wash the parts in the dishwasher.

Do not use abrasives or aggressive chemicals (solvents) for cleaning.

Do not dry the machine and/or any of its parts using a microwave and/or conventional oven.

We recommend you clean the water tank and change the water daily.

Clean the ground coffee doser daily.

We recommend you empty and clean the drip tray (12) and the coffee grounds drawer (10) daily; to carry out this operation you must open the front cover (Fig.20) and remove the drip tray (Fig.21); then, you can empty and clean all the components.

You can remove the coffee dispenser in order to clean it (Fig.24):

-lower the dispensing unit nozzles

Make sure that the two steel filters are free from any coffee residues. The top filter can be removed by unscrewing the plastic pin anticlockwise using the specific supplied key (Fig.23.).

Wash the coffee dispenser only with hot water: do not use detergents. Then accurately wash and dry all its components.

Refit the filter and carefully screw the plastic pin back on using the specific key.

Clean the compartment inside the appliance.

Holding it by its handle, insert the coffee dispenser into its housing until it snaps into place.

Insert the coffee grounds drawer, the drip tray plate and the drip tray.

Close the cover (15).

11 DESCALING

Scaling occurs naturally when the appliance is used. Approximately every 3-4 months you should descale it; it is ready for descaling when you notice a reduction in the water flow or when the LED of the button (26) flashes.

If you wish to carry this out at home, you can use a descaling product for coffee makers that is non toxic and/or not harmful and commonly available on the

market.

Caution! Never use vinegar.

To descale the appliance proceed as follows:

automatically by the appliance.

At the end of the cycle, the flow of the descaling solution is shut off and the 5 buttons start flashing simultaneously.

Turn the knob of the hot water nozzle (16) clockwise to OFF. In this case, also the warning light (27) flashes.

Rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh drinking water.

Position a vessel of adequate capacity under the steam nozzle and empty 2/3 of the contents of the water tank by turning the steam knob (16) anticlockwise; to shut off the flow, turn the knob (16) clockwise.

Let the appliance heat up and empty the remaining contents of the water tank by turning the steam knob (16) anticlockwise; to stop the flow, turn it clockwise.

If you use a different product from the recommended one, we recommend you follow the instructions of the descaler manufacturer as specified on

the package.

If the descaling cycle is interrupted by switching the machine OFF, this is restarted when the machine is switched back

ON.
