that the lter-holder is left attached to the machine. By
doing this you will obtain hotter coee.
Take note:
Use pods which conform to the ESE standard. This 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
prepare an espresso coee 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
indicated 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 the lter.
4. Attach the lter-holder to the machine, making sure you
rotate it fully (g. 14).

To make cappuccino
1. Prepare espresso coee as describe in the preceding
paragraphs, using suciently large cups.
2. Turn the selector dial 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
temperature.
4. 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
production. It is quite normal that in reaching the ideal
temperature there should be some small emissions of
water and steam into the drip-tray (N).
6. Extractthemilk-frotherbypullingitforwardandrotating
it to the left (g. 23). Be careful not to touch the hot boiler
pipe 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-dial at least
half a turn in an anti-clockwise direction (g. 25). The
Preparation of Cappuccino
steam will emit from the milk-frother, giving the milk a
creamy appearance and increasing its volume. To obtain
creamier foam, immerse the milk-frother in the milk and
move the container slowly upwards.
8. When the volume of the milk has doubled, immerse the
milk-frother fully and continue to heat the milk. When the
required temperature is reached (ideally 60°), together
with the right density of cream, cut o the steam supply
by turning the steam dial in a clockwise direction until it
stops, and rotating the selector to position . To turn
o the machine, turn the selector dial to position .
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
previously prepared espresso coee. The cappuccino is
now ready. Add sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a
little chocolate powder on the froth.
Take note:
• Ifyouwanttopreparemorethanonecappuccino,make
all the espresso coees together in advance and only then
prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
• Ifyouwantto preparesome morecoee afterfrothing
up the milk, wait until the boiler cools down, because
otherwise the coee will come out burnt.
To cool down the boiler, put a container under the boiler
nozzle; turn the selector dial to (g. 16); let the water
escapeuntilthe“OK”lightgoesout;turntheselectordial
back to and prepare the coee as described in the
preceding paragraphs.
• Youareadvisednottoletthesteamcomeoutformore
than 60 seconds, and not to froth up the milk more than 3
times consecutively.
Caution:
For reasons of hygiene you are recommended to always clean
themilk-frotherafteruse.Proceedinthefollowingmanner:
1. Allow a little steam to escape for a few seconds (see
points 2, 5, and 6 of the preceding paragraph) by turning
the steam dial (g. 25). In this way, the milk-frother will
ush out milk that may have remained inside it. Turn o
the appliance by pressing the on/o button.
2. Grip the tube of the milk-frother rmly with one hand
(Attention: this may be HOT!), and with the other, release
the milk-frother itself by turning it in a clockwise direction
and unscrewing it downwards (g. 26).
3. Remove the steam nozzle from the supply tube by pulling
it downwards.
4. Wash the milk-frother and the steam nozzle thoroughly in
warm water.
