8 PREPARING THE BEVERAGES
CLEANING
Before or after a long period of inactivity, it is recommended to
carry out a washing cycle on the unit.
• Press the key
for 2 seconds. The machine carries out a
washing cycle on the unit by passing only water through the circuit.
PREPARING ESPRESSO
Position the cup or cups under the dispenser spout.
Make sure that the word “COFFEE” has stopped ashing, which
means water temperature reached.
• Press the key
to start the dispensing. Dispensing stops
automatically, but it can also be stopped beforehand by pressing
the same key again.
HOT WATER
Switch on the water heater for preparing hot water using the key
and wait till the word “WATER” has stopped ashing.
Position the cup or other container under the nozzle.
• Turn the knob of tap “A” (Fig.7) anti-clockwise to dispense the
hot water.
PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
• Select the steam function using the key
Wait till the word “STEAM” stops ashing on the display.
Before positioning the container under the steam nozzle, turn the
dial “A” (Fig.7) clockwise to ush out the water remaining in the
pipes.
Prepare a medium coffee in a cappuccino cup.
Fill the 50 cl jug milk with about 10 cl of milk. This is the quantity
for preparing one cappuccino. We recommend preparing frothed
milk for one cappuccino at a time.
Introduce the steam nozzle into the milk container so that the
spout is positioned on the bottom of the container (Fig. 7A).
Turn the steam dial anti-clockwise to release the steam and heat
the milk for a few seconds.
Important: Do not heat the milk excessively. Overheated
milk no longer produces froth.
• After a few seconds, position the spout of the nozzle at the sur-
face of the milk (Fig. 7B).
When the desired froth is obtained, close the steam tap.
Pour the milk delicately into the cup previously lled with coffee.
N.B.: If the machine is switched off with the steam or water func-
tion activated, this function remains in memory when it is switched
back on the next time.
9 CARE AND CLEANING
9 CARE AND CLEANING
The appliance must not be immersed in water or other liquids for
cleaning.
Let the coffee machine cool down before proceeding with cleaning.
Danger of burning !
Do not use steam appliances for cleaning the machine.
Do not use any detergent substances containing soda, acids, or
chlorides! These substances will ruin the surface of the machine.
Regular cleaning guarantees the ef cient operation and long life of
your espresso coffee machine.
Remove the grille and tray from the machine and clean both the
front panel and the inside compartments with a soft sponge dam-
pened with a sanitising detergent solution.
Dry with a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
WATER TANK
It is preferable to empty the water tank daily and re ll it, when pos-
sible just before preparing coffee, with cold potable water.
Wash the water tank by hand using a sanitising detergent solu-
tion.
HOT WATER/STEAM DISPENSER
Clean the hot water/steam dispenser with a soft sponge using only
water, preferably hot water. To remove any incrustations, we re-
commend washing the components in the dishwasher. The steam
spout can be unscrewed for washing in the dishwasher. When it is
used for frothing milk, it is advisable to release some steam rst to
ush out any remaining residues of milk or froth.
