5 Preparing CAUTION: The machine must be turned off manually. Do not leave A machine unattended while brewing. You must manually stop the brewing process. This will avoid overflow, spillage and potential hazards and damages. C After the espresso is brewed, the machine automatically creates a bit of steam and pushes the remaining water from the pump into the drip tray (9). This ensures that there will be no rest-water in the heating system. After preparing a few cups of espresso, carefully pull the drip tray out of the machine, empty and replace. 5. After the machine has cooled down, carefully remove the portafilter from the brew head (6) by holding it by the handle and pulling it towards the left. Using the thumb guard to secure the sieve in the portafilter, turn the portafilter (7) upside down to empty. Rinse the sieve and portafilter with water. 6. If you wish to brew additional espresso, repeat the process above. Add freshly ground coffee into the sieve as described in chapter 5c, "Filling and Inserting the Portafilter," lock the portafilter (7) back underneath the brew head (6) and follow the instructions to brew espresso again (items 2-5 from this section). 7. Once you have prepared the desired amount of espresso, make sure the Control Knob (5) is in the "O" position and turn off the machine by pressing the Power Button (11) on the side of the machine. Allow the machine to cool down before removing parts and accessories prior to cleaning. 8. For cleaning instructions, refer to chapter 8. CAUTION: The metal parts of the portafilter (7) might still be very A hot. Always use caution when handling the machine and the removable parts. Make sure to use the thumb guard when discarding the grounds. Cool these parts by running under cold water. 5.1.5 Making Cappuccino Cappuccino is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger amount of hot milk and milk froth. C When frothing the sieve and portafilter (7) should be assembled in the "LOCK" position. For best results always start with fresh, cold milk (about 34°F). C Do not use a pitcher which has just been washed in warm water. We also recommend a beverage thermometer for preparing the best frothed and steamed milk. The ideal end temperature for frothed or steamed milk is between 140°F - 165°F. Any type of milk can be used when frothing. Whole milk will produce good microfoam (small bubbles) while low-fat and fat-free milk will produce large, airy bubbles in the froth. Non-dairy milks will not hold the froth as well but can be steamed and heated for lattes. Manual Espresso Machine / User Manual 15 / EN
