IMPORTANT: To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee. 8.To dispose of the used coffee, block the filter using the lever incorporated in the handle and empty the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down and tapping (fig. 22). 9.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to the "O" position (fig. 23) IMPORTANT: The first time the appliance is used, all accessories the machine must be washed through by making at least five coffees without using ground coffee. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO WITH THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PODS 1.Preheat the appliance as described in the paragraph "PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT". Leave the filter holder attached to the appliance. This obtains a hotter coffee. Preheating improves the filter holder gasket seal. 2.Press the filter holder button and insert a pod, centering it as far as possible above the filter (fig. 24). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly. NOTE: Use pods conforming to the ESE standard indicated on the pack with the following logo: The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso to be prepared simply and cleanly. 3.Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always rotate as far as it will go (fig. 15). Note: To ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of water from the rim of the filter holder, you are recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in figure 25). IMPORTANT: When using the filter holder for pods, after using the filter for ground coffee, remove any coffee grounds stuck to the boiler outlet (fig. 26). Failure to observe this precaution may lead to water leaking from the edges of the pod filter holder while the coffee is being prepared. 4.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous paragraph. 10 5.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter holder and extract. 6.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to the "O" position (fig. 23). HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO 1.Prepare the espresso as described in the previous paragraphs, using sufficiently large cups. 2.Rotate the selector knob to the position (fig. 27). The steam indicator light comes on (fig. 27). 3.Wait until the OK indicator light comes on (fig. 28) indicating that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production. 4.In the meantime, fill a container with about 3.5 oz of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 or 3 times. NB: You are recommended to use skim milk at refrigerator temperature. 5.Remove the cappuccino maker by pulling forwards and rotating to the left (fig. 29). During this operation, avoid touching the boiler outlet as it is hot. Place the container containing the milk under the cappuccino frother. 6.Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about 2 cm and rotate the steam knob counterclockwise (fig. 30) (rotating the knob more or less varies the quantity of steam discharged by the cappuccino maker). The milk now starts to increase in volume and take on a creamy appearance. 7.When the required temperature is reached (the ideal is 60°C -140°F), interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise. 8.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder. Note: To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos. IMPORTANT: Always clean the cappuccino frother after use. Proceed as follows: 1.Immerse the cappuccino frother in about 3/4" milk inside the container and rotate the steam knob counter-clockwise (Fig.30). 2.With one hand, hold the top part stationary and with the other unscrew the cappuccino maker by rotating clockwise and extracting from the nozzle (fig. 31). 3.Remove the steam nozzle from the delivery tube. 4.Wash the cappuccino frother and steam nozzle thoroughly with warm water.
