17). If, on the other hand, you wish to make two coees,
ll the lter with two scant measures of ground coee
(about 6+6 gr.). Fill the lter with small quantities at a
time to avoid spillage of the ground coee.
Caution:
To guarantee correct functioning, before relling the lter with
ground coee, ensure that it is free of any coee powder resi-
due from the previous infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press it down
lightly with the tamper (g. 18). The way in which the
ground coee is pressed down is a very important fac-
tor in obtaining a good espresso. If you press too rmly,
the coee will come out slowly and have a thick, dark-
coloured consistency. On the other hand, if you press too
lightly, the coee will come out too fast and will have a
thin, light-coloured consistency.
4. Remove any excess coee from the edge of the lter-
holder, and attach the latter to the machine. Rotate the
hand-grip rmly to the right (g. 14) to avoid any water
leakage.
5. Positionthecuporcupsunderthenozzlesofthelter-
holder (g. 19). It is advisable to warm the cups before
making the coee, by rinsing them with a little hot wa-
ter.
6. Check that the OK light (g. 15) is on (if it is o, wait until
it comes on), and turn the selector knob to position
(g. 16). Once you have obtained the quantity of coee
you want, stop the process by rotating the selector knob
to position (g. 12). (It is advisable not to dispense
coee for more than 45 seconds)
7. To detach the lter-holder, rotate the hand-grip from
right to left.
Danger of scalding!
To avoid splashing, never detach the lter-holder while the
machine is dispensing.
8. To dispose of used coee, hold the lter fast while pres-
sing it with the appropriate lever incorporated into the
hand-grip. Then turn out the grounds by turning the
lter-holder over and rapping it sharply (g. 20).
9 . To switch o the coee machine, turn the selector knob to
position .
Preparation of espresso using pods
1. Carry out the preheating process as described in the para-
graph“PREHEATINGTHECOFFEEMACHINE”,ensuringthat
the lter-holder is left attached to the machine. By doing
this you will obtain hotter coee.
Take note:
Use pods which conform to the ESE standard. This is will
be printed on the packet with the following trademark.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the
major pod manufacturers. It allows you to pre-
pare an espresso coee in a clean and simple
way.
2. Insert the small lter into the lter-holder, ensuring that
the pin is correctly inserted into the proper slot, as indica-
ted in g. 13.
3. Insert the pod, centring it as far as possible over the lter
(g. 21). Always follow the instructions on the packet of
pods for correct positioning of the pod on the lter.
4. Attach the lter-holder to the machine, making sure you
rotate it fully (g. 14).
5. Proceedasinpoints5,6and7ofthepreviousparagraph.
To make cappuccino
1. Prepareespressocoeeasdescribeintheprecedingpara-
graphs, using suciently large cups.
2. Turn the selector knob to position (g. 22): the relative
light will come on.
3. Meanwhile, ll a receptacle with about 100 grams of milk
for every cappuccino that you want to prepare. The milk
should be cold, from the fridge (not hot!). When choosing
a receptacle, take note of the fact that the volume of the
milk will increase 2 or 3 times.
Take note:
You are advised to use semi-skimmed milk, at fridge tempe-
rature.
4. Posizionare il recipiente con il latte sotto il cappucci4.
Position the receptacle with the milk under the milk-
frother.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on. This indicates that the
boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam pro-
duction. It is quite normal that in reaching the ideal tem-
perature there should be some small emissions of water
and steam into the drip-tray (N).
6. Extractthemilk-frotherbypullingitforwardandrotating
it to the left (g. 23). Be careful not to touch the hot boi-
ler nozzle while performing this operation. Then position
the receptacle containing the milk under the milk-frother
itself.
7. Immerse the milk-frother into the milk to the depth of a
few millimetres (g. 24). Rotate the steam-knob at least
half a turn in an anti-clockwise direction (g. 25). The
steam will emit from the milk-frother, giving the milk a
