The pilot lamp indicates that the coffee maker is working. Figure 4. A cup of coffee can be served before the brew cycle has finished. Whenever the jug is removed from the heating plate, the coffee flow will be detained temporarily. Place the jug back on the heating plate within 20 seconds. PREPARING ESPRESSO (Fig. 5 -10) Figure 5. Plug the appliance into the mains and make sure that the ON/OFF switch (7) is off. Close the steam regulator (8) by turning it towards the sign. Figure 6. Unscrew the lid on the tank (6) and pour in the desired amount of water. Use the espresso jug (12) for measuring. One cup of water equals one cup of espresso. Screw the lid back on and tighten it securely. Figure 7. Place the filter (11) into the filter holder (10). Use the filter’s one, two or threecup level marks to measure the amount of powder needed. Clean off any coffee powder that may be left around the edge of the filter holder. Important: For best results, use a coarsely ground coffee, Italian espresso type. Do not pack the coffee powder. Figure 8. Use the guide marks to fit the filter holder and turn it to the right until it locks. Place the espresso jug (12) underneath so that the opening lines up with the outlet for the espresso. Figure 9. If you want the espresso to flow directly into two cups then fit the adaptor on the filter holder. Make sure that the water tank is closed properly before using the espresso maker. Do not attempt to open the lid on the tank while there is still pressure inside (for more info see section «Important»). Figure 10. Press the Espresso ON/OFF switch (7). The pilot lamp will light up and after a short heatup time the espresso will begin to flow out. When the flow stops, turn the switch back to the OFF position. Important: • The tank can only be opened safely when all the water has been used up and there is no pressure inside it. To be certain that there is no pressure inside the tank: Switch the ON/OFF switch (7) to OFF and unplug the appliance. Place a jug full of water below the steam nozzle (9). Turn the steam regulator (8) towards the sign. When no more steam comes out, close the steam regulator by turning it towards the sign. • After usage the filter holder should be left to cool down for a few minutes before taking it out. PREPARING CAPPUCCINO (Fig. 9 -17) Figure 11-12. Follow the instructions for making espresso. Use the level mark on the espresso jug to measure the right amount of water. As soon as the first few drops of coffee are forced through the filter holder you can start frothing the milk. Figure 13. Place the tip of the steam nozzle half way into a jug of cold milk. Open the steam regulator by turning it towards the sign. The excess water will flow out through the espresso outlet. Once the froth is ready, move the jug up and down slightly to heat up the milk. Figure 14. To stop the steam coming out, close the steam regulator by turning the regulator to . Pour the frothedup milk onto the coffee. If you want you can sprinkle it with powered cinnamon or grated chocolate, or decorate it with a stick of cinnamon. Do not attempt to open the lid on the tank while there is still pressure inside. When you have finished remember to bring the pressure down by following the instructions stated in the previous point. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE (Fig. 15 - 18) Figure 15. Unplug the appliance from the mains supply before proceeding to clean it. Wash the moving parts with soapy water. The drip tray (14) and the nozzle cover can be removed for easy cleaning. Wipe down the body of the coffee maker with a damp cloth. Figure 16. It is necessary to clean the steam pipe regularly to ensure that it does not get clogged. To clean the inside of the steam pipe, fill the water tank (6) with enough water for one cup of espresso coffee and operate the steam nozzle without milk until it stops steaming. Switch off the steam and rub the nozzle down with a damp cloth immediately afterwards. Take care when doing this as it may still be ver y hot. Figure 17. After use, check if both water tanks (4 and 6) are completely empty. Do not store the appliance with the espresso filter holder (10) still fitted. Figure 18. The mains cable can be stored away on the cable compartment (15) located at the rear side of the appliance. DESCALING The coffee maker should be descaled regularly, depending on the water hardness and frequency of use. A) Descaling the filter coffee maker 1. Place the empty coffee jug (3) on the heating plate (2). 2. Dilute three cups of vinegar in nine cups of water and fill the tank (4) with the mixture. 3. Switch the coffee maker on for one minute. Switch it off and let it stand for half an hour. 4. Switch the coffee maker back on so that all the water/vinegar solution flows out. Pour this away and clean out the jug. 5. To flush out any traces of vinegar, run the filter coffee maker through two more cycles using clear tap water. B) Descaling the espresso maker 1. Before beginning the descaling operat...
