PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO
Filling the Boiler with Water
• Unscrew the boiler cap (D) by turning it in an
counter clockwise direction.
• Fill the carafe with 6 oz (170 gr) maximum of
water, corresponding to the amount needed to
make one coffee (fig. 7).
• Pour the water
slowly into the boiler,first making
sure that the “cappuccino” switch is off and that
the steam knob is turned off.
•
WARNING: In order to fill the boiler when it is
hot - for example immediately after the water
contained in it has run out while a cappuccino is
being made - no more than the above
mentioned quantity of water (6 oz./170gr.)
should be poured in, corresponding to the
amount of water needed to make a coffee and
never try to fill the boiler up to the MAX line (fig.
8) while it is still hot, otherwise the appliance
will fail to froth the milk properly the next time.
• Next close the steam boiler cap by turning it firmly
clockwise.
Note: for safety reasons it is not possible to open
the cap when the steam boiler is warm because it
turns without unscrewing; it is necessary to wait
for all the water contained in the steam boiler to
be completely used up in order to fill it, or else to
wait for the boiler to cool down.
• Be sure to add water in the boiler only once it is
completely empty.
Preparing the Milk for Cups of Cappuccino
• Before dispensing milk, the boiler must be pre-
heated for 10 minutes. Therefore, press the
“CAPPUCCINO” button before preparing coffee;
doing so, the boiler will heat right up.
• Prepare the coffee as illustrated in the paragraph
headed “PREPARING THE COFFEE” and pour
about 2 fl. oz. (50-60 gr.) of coffee into each cup.
• To make a cappuccino, pour into the tank milk
which is
neither boiling nor hot. With the tank
filled to the “MAX” line, 2 or 3 cappuccinos can
be made.
Never exceed the little mark which is
placed immediately above the word “MAX” (fig.
10) or the milk may continue to drip from the
pipe after the cappuccino has been prepared.
• Place the cup containing coffee under the milk tank
pipe, check that the milk tank is firmly attached, wait
for the “OK” pilot lamp (
N) to come on, the turn the
steam knob at least a full turn counter-clockwise. The
“frothed” milk will begin to trickle out of the milk
tank pipe (fig. 11). To avoid the milk splashing if
small cups are used, the anti-spray hood should be
fitted on the milk tank pipe (fig. 12).
• Fill the cup with the desired amount of frothed milk.
To ensure that the milk froths properly, always
close the steam knob and wait for the OK pilot
lamp to come on between one cappuccino and the
next.
As soon as the tank is empty and the machine
begins to puff, turn off the steam by turning the
steam knob in a clockwise direction.
• The following proportions are recommended in
order to obtain a perfect cappuccino: 1/3 coffee,
1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk.
Suggestion: to make a hotter cappuccino when
more than one cup is required, it is better to pour
one cup of coffee at a time before immediately
filling it with frothed milk, rather than pouring all
the cups of coffee at the same time first and then
filling them with frothed milk..
• Before switching the boiler off it is necessary to
clean the red emulsifier, so that it does not become
blocked by the milk when it solidifies: to do so, fill
the milk tank with a little water and turn the steam
knob. In this way the steam cleans all the holes
and emulsifier pipes and empties the internal
circuits of any traces of milk.
WARNING: to eliminate the “new” smell and above
all to ensure that the appliance functions properly, a
few coffee cycles should be completed without
coffee powder the first time the appliance is used,
and the steam boiler should be washed in the
following way: fill it with water, press the ‘ON/OFF’
cappuccino switch and after 5 minutes turn the
steam knob
and leave it on until all the steam has been used up
(about 15 minutes).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance,
disconnect the appliance from the electric power
supply by pulling out the plug.
Cleaning the Milk Frother
Remember to clean the milk frother after each use as follows:
• Remove the milk tank by pressing the lever
marked “PRESS” and pulling it upwards at the
same time; wash the tank with hot water.
• Remove the emulsifier (fig. 13) by pressing on the
lever (A) and pulling it upwards at the same time.
Remove the rubber mixer, especially wash and
clean with warm water the holes shown in fig. 14
(clean them using a needle). Check that the hole
marked with the arrow
B is not blocked (fig. 14).
