en How to make Cappuccino · Hot water production · Cleaning and maintenance • Put the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring spoon supplied, and level it off evenly (fig. 11). As a general rule, use a level measure of coffee (approx 7 grams) for every cup of coffee required (for example, 10 measures to obtain 10 cups). • Close the filter-holder door and place the carafe, with cover in place, onto the warming plate. • Press the ON/OFF button. The light on the button indicates that the drip coffee-maker is in operation. • The coffee will begin to dispense after a short time. It is perfectly normal for the appliance to emit steam while the coffee is percolating. To keep the coffee hot after the percolation process has finished, place the carafe on the hot plate and leave the machine turned on (with the drip coffee light on): the coffee in the carafe will be kept at the right temperature. • To turn off the machine press the ON/OFF switch. Espresso coffee 1. Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it counter-clockwise (fig. 12). 2. Fill the small carafe for espresso with the quantity of water corresponding to the number of cups you want to make (see chart on page 11). 3. Pour the water into the boiler (Fig. 13). 4. Close the boiler cap by turning it firmly clockwise. 5. Turn the espresso/steam knob to position (fig. 14). 6. Place the filter for espresso coffee into the filter-holder (Fig. 15). 7. Fill the filter with ground coffee according to the quantity shown in the chart on page 11 and distribute evenly without pressing down (Fig. 16): never exceed the quantity described in the chart. It is important to use top quality medium grind coffee to avoid blocking the filter while the coffee is being dispensed. 8. Remove excess coffee from the edge of the filter (Fig. 17). 9. To attach the filter-holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle aligned with the triangle (Fig. 18), and push it upwards while turning the handle firmly toward the right as far as it reaches the arrow on the front side. 10. Place the small carafe for espresso under the filter-holder (Fig. 19). Make sure the filter-holder spouts are inside the opening in the carafe lid. Do not use the carafe without lid, to avoid splashes. 11. Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 20): the light on the button comes on. 12. After about two minutes, the espresso coffee starts to run out from the filter-holder spouts. CAUTION: To prevent splashes, never remove the filter-holder while the appliance is dispensing coffee. 13. When coffee no longer runs out of the filter-holder, press the ON/OFF button to turn the coffee maker off. 14. Pour the coffee into cups (fig. 21). 15. To dispose of the used coffee grounds, unfasten the filter- holder. Block the filter using the lever incorporated in the handle and empty the grounds by turning the filterholder upside down and tapping (Fig. 22). CAUTION: Before removing the filter-holder, to avoid puffs of steam, completely eliminate any residual steam in the boiler by turning the espresso/steam knob to position (Fig. 23). NOTE: For safety reasons, when the boiler is hot the cap cannot be opened, but turns without catching. If you need to remove it for any reason, first vent all the steam in the boiler as described above. How to make cappuccino • To make two cappuccinos, prepare the espresso coffee as described in the section "ESPRESSO COFFEE" from point 1 to point 11, but add the quantity of water required to make two cappuccinos (see chart on page 11). (Note: the quantity of water for making cappuccinos is greater than that needed for espresso. The additional water is used to produce steam to froth the milk). • Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 20). • Let the coffee drip into the espresso carafe. When the darker coffee (which is below the lighter colored cream) reaches level 2 on the the carafe turn the knob to CLOSE (Fig. 24). This must be done with the utmost care. If the coffee goes above level 2, there will not be enough steam left afterward to froth the milk. • Pour about 3.5 oz./100gr of milk for each cappuccino you want to make into a container. Use only fresh milk, not boiled and in particular not hot. When choosing the size of container to use, keep in mind that the volume of the milk will double or triple. • Immerse the cappuccino nozzle into the milk to about 5 mm and turn the espresso/steam knob to (Fig. 25). The milk will begin to increase in volume and take on a creamy appearance. Close the espresso/steam knob only after all the steam has been released from the boiler. • Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine and turn the espresso/steam knob to position. • Pour the coffee into two sufficiently large cups. 9
