puccino is ready: add sugar at will and if desired, sprinkle a little powdered chocolate on top of the froth. Maximum delivery of 60 seconds is recommended. CLEANING Information • if more than one cappuccino is to be prepared, first make all of the coffees and then prepare the milk for all of the cappuccinos; • if more coffee must be prepared after the milk has been frothed, allow the boiler to cool first otherwise the coffee will be burned. To cool it, position a container under the filterholder spouts (fig. 11), press the steam button and allow water to run out until the steam function light switches off: then prepare the coffee. Do not deliver steam for more than 60 seconds at a time or froth more than 3 times consecutively. Attention: the frother must always be washed after use to ensure proper functioning and sterility. Proceed as follows: 1. Discharge a small amount of steam for a few seconds (see points 2,5 and 6 of the previous paragraph) by turning the steam knob (fig. 18). By doing this, the frother empties any milk left inside. Switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button. 2. Use one hand to hold the cappuccino tube and the other to release the frothing cover by turning it clockwise and pulling it downwards (fig. 19). Danger! Do not touch stainless steel tube that attaches frother to machine. This will be very hot after frothing. 3. Remove the frothing nozzle from the tube by pulling it downwards (fig. 20). 4. Wash the frother and nozzle thoroughly in warm water. 5. Make sure that the two holes indicated by the arrows in fig. 21 are not blocked. Clean using a pin if necessary. 6. Re-mount the frothing nozzle by inserting it firmly upwards into the steam tube. 7. Re-mount the frothing cover by inserting it upwards and turning it counterclockwise . PRODUCTION OF HOT WATER 1. Switch the machine on by pressing the on/off button (fig. 4). Wait for the OK light to switch on (fig. 6). 2. Position a container under the cappuccino maker. 3. Press the coffee button (fig. 7) and turn the steam knob counterclockwise at the same time (fig. 18): the hot water will escape from the frother. 4. To interrupt the hot water, turn the steam knob clockwise and press the coffee button again (fig. 7). Danger! Before performing any cleaning operations of the external parts of the appliance, switch the machine off, remove the plug from the outlet and let the machine cool down. Cleaning and maintenance of the filter Clean the filter-holder and ground coffee filters about every 300 coffees and when the coffee drips through the filter-holder and does not flow completely: • Remove the filter from the filter-holder. • Unscrew the filter cap (fig. 22) in the direction indi- cated by the arrow on the cap itself. • Remove all parts of filter by pushing the black rub- ber holder and metal disc out of filter. Remove the metal disc from its backing. (There should be 5 separate pieces to the filter) • Rinse all components and clean the metal filter disc thoroughly using hot water and a brush (fig. 23). Check that the holes in the metal filter disc are not blocked. If this is not the case, clean them using a pin (see fig. 24). • Re-mount the filter by placing the metal disc and backing inside the black rubber holder as indicated in figure 25. Make sure that the plastic disc pin is inserted inside the hole in the black plastic holder as indicated by the arrow in fig. 25. • Re-insert the black rubber holder that contains metal disc and backing into the metal holder (fig. 26), making sure that the pin is inserted into the hole of the support itself (see arrow fig. 26). • Finally, tighten the filter cap . The warranty is not valid if the cleaning operations described above are not performed on a regular basis. Cleaning the boiler outlet About every 300 coffees the espresso boiler outlet must be cleaned as follows: • Make sure that the coffee machine is not hot and the plug is disconnected from the socket; • Use a screwdriver to remove the screw that fixes the espresso boiler outlet (fig. 27); • Remove the boiler outlet; • Clean the boiler using a damp cloth (fig. 27); • Clean the boiler outlet disc thoroughly using hot water and a brush. Check that the holes are not blocked. If this is not the case, clean them using a pin (fig. 24). • Rinse the boiler outlet disc under the tap, rubbing continuously. • Re-mount the boiler outlet, paying attention to position it correctly on the gasket. The warranty is not valid if the cleaning operations described above are not performed on a regular basis. 10
