SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
-
A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
-
-
Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension
should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
-
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

again and repeat the whole operation one more time.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE:
1.After carrying out the preheating of the machine as
described in the preceding section, place the filter for
coffee powder with creamer in the filter holder, making
sure the tab is correctly inserted in the corresponding
slot, as shown in Fig. 9.
To prepare just one cup of coffee, fill the filter with 1
even measuring spoon of ground coffee, around 7
grams (Fig. 10). To prepare two cups of coffee, on the
other hand, use the filter with the creamer and fill it with
two scant measuring spoons of ground coffee (around
6+6 grams). Fill the filter in small doses to avoid spilling
the coffee.
•
Preheat the machine as described in the
‘Preheating the Coffee Machine’ section, making
sure to leave the filter holder attached to the unit.
Following this procedure ensures that the coffee is
delivered at a hotter temperature, as well as
guaranteeing that the seal of the filter holder
gaskets is more effective.
•
Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into
the filter (fig 15).
Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard:
this will be indicated on the packaging by the
following symbol:
Note: use high quality, finely-ground coffee for
espresso coffee makers.
2.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it
lightly with the pressing pad (Fig. 11).
3.Remove any excess coffee from around the edges of
the filter.
4.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by rinsing
under hot water) on the black part of the removable drip
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading
coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee
to be prepared simply and without any mess.

been reached (the ideal temperature is 60°C), stop
the delivery of steam by turning the steam knob in a
clockwise direction and at the same time positioning
the selector knob at “O” (fig. 14).
7.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee. Your cappuccino is now ready. Add
sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little
powdered chocolate on top of the froth.
Note: to prepare the coffee after having frothed the
milk, first let the boiler cool down, otherwise the
coffee will be burnt. To cool the boiler down, place a
container underneath the outlet, turn the selector
knob to the “espresso” position and allow the water
to flow out until the ‘OK’ light goes off. Return the
IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be
used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to
clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso
boiler outlet. This cleaning operation is necessary in
order to avoid water leackages from the coffee
holder for pods while coffee is being proposed.
4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 in the previous
section on how to prepare espresso.

shown in Fig. 21, are not blocked. If necessary,
unblock them using a pin.
4.Clean the steam delivery tube, being careful to avoid
being burnt.
5.Screw the milk frother back on.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large
enough for cappuccinos (see “How to prepare
espresso coffee).
2.Turn the selector knob to the
position (fig. 16)
Wait until the orange “OK” light comes on, to
indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal
temperature for producing steam.
3.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately
3 fl. oz of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not
warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that
the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.
Semi skimmed milk gives best results.
PRODUCING HOT WATER
