HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
(FOR APPLIANCES WITH TWO FILTERS ONLY)
1.Preheat the appliance as described in the section
"PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the
filter holder is attached; this obtains a hotter coffee.
NOTE: use pods conforming to the ESE standard,
indicated on the pack by the following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod
producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
2.Place the small 1 coffee or pod filter in the filter
holder, making sure the projection is correctly
inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8.
3.Insert a pod, centering it as far as possible on the
filter (fig. 15).Always follow the instructions on the
pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.
4.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always
rotate as far as it will go (fig. 5).
5.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous
section.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE
1.Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the
previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups.
2.Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 16)
and wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 6). This
indicates that the boiler has reached the ideal
temperature for steam production.
3.In the meantime, fill a frothing pitcher with about 3.5
ounces of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not
hot!). In choosing the size of the frothing pitcher,
bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in
volume.
NOTE: YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO USE SKIM AT
REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE.
4.Place the frothing pitcher containing milk under the
cappuccino maker (fig 17).
5.Immerse the cappuccino frother in the milk for about
5 mm and rotate the steam knob counter clockwise
(fig. 18) (rotating the knob more or less varies the
quantity of steam discharged by the cappuccino
maker). The milk now starts to increase in volume
and take on a creamy appearance.
6.When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the
cappuccino frother deeply and continue heating the
milk (fig. 19). When the required temperature is
reached (the ideal is 140°F), interrupt steam delivery
by rotating the steam knob clockwise and placing the
selector in the "O" position (fig. 14).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino
is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the
froth with a little cocoa powder.
Note: to make coffee again after the milk has been
frothed, cool down the boiler first or the coffee will
be burnt. To cool, place a container under the boiler
outlet, turn the selector to the " " position and
deliver water until the OK light goes out. Turn the
selector back to the position and make the coffee as
described previously.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino maker
after use. Proceed as follows:
1.Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating
the steam knob (fig. 18).
2.W
ait several minutes for the steam tube to cool
down. Unscrew the cappuccino frother by rotating
clockwise (fig. 20) and wash thoroughly with warm
water.
3.Make sure the three holes in the cappuccino frother
shown in fig. 21, are not blocked. If necessary, clean
with a pin.
4.Clean the steam tube, taking care to avoid burns.
5.Screw the cappuccino frother back in place.
HOT WATER PRODUCTION
1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to
the position (fig. 4).
2.Place a cup under the cappuccino frother.
3.When the OK indicator light comes on, turn the
selector knob to the position (fig. 7) and at the
same time, rotate the steam knob counter clockwise
(fig. 18): Hot water is delivered from the cappuccino
maker.
4.To interrupt delivery of hot water, rotate the steam
knob clockwise and position the selector knob to "O"
