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)
9.1 Making coffee after using the
steam function
• If you want to make more coffee immediately
after steaming milk, you must press the button
again (25).
• During the transition period, the LEDs (23),
(24) and (25) flash at the same time indicating
that the appliance is superheated and cannot
make coffee.
• To make coffee, you must drain the water by
turning the steam knob (16) until only the tem-
perature-ready LEDs (23) and (24) remain lit
in a fixed way.
10 CLEANING 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.
- Use the supplied brush to clean the doser
(Fig.18).
• To clean the appliance, use a soft cloth
dampened with water (Fig.19).
• Clean the service area and the coffee
dispenser.
• 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
- take the dispensing unit as shown in Fig. 24,
and remove it from its housing
- wash the whole unit with warm water.
10.1 The coffee disperser
The coffee dispenser (17) must be
cleaned each time you fill the coffee
bean container or, anyhow, at least once a
week.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/
OFF switch (7) to the “O” position and remove
the plug from the wall outlet.
• Open the service cover (15). Remove the drip
tray (12) and the coffee grounds drawer.
• Remove the coffee dispenser by holding it
by its handle and pressing the “PUSH”
button (Fig.22)
• 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:
• Mix the descaler with water as specified on
the package and fill the water tank.
• Switch ON the appliance with the ON/OFF
switch (7).
• Press the button (26) for at least 5 seconds to
select the descaling operating mode; the LED
emits a fixed light.
• Direct the steam nozzle (14) toward the drip
tray.
• Position a vessel of adequate capacity under
the steam nozzle and turn the hot water knob
anticlockwise (16). The appliance starts an
automatic descaling cycle with pauses preset
by the manufacturer and managed
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.
12 FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
The appliance allows you to programme some
parameters depending on your needs.
To programme the functions, you must enter
programming mode as follows:
• Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (7) of the
appliance is switched to “O” and that the hot
water knob (16) is OFF.
• Press the buttons (23) and (25) and, at the
same time, switch ON the appliance using
the ON/OFF switch (7).
You are now in the programming mode.
To quit the programming mode and
implement your changes, switch the machine
OFF and, then, back ON again using the
main switch (7).
