Plug the appliance into the mains and check that the switch is in the Off position. 2. Unscrew the lid on the tank and pour in the desired amount of water. The jug shows the amounts required for two or four cups. Screw the lid back on and tighten it securely. 3. Place the filter into the filter holder. Use the filter’s two or four-cup level marks to gauge the amount of coffee needed. Clean off any coffee that may be left around the edge of the filter holder. Important: To get the best results out of your espresso coffee maker, use a coarsely ground coffee, Italian espresso type. Do not pack the coffee down. 4. Put the filter holder into position. Place the jug so that the opening lines up with the coffee outlet. 5. Turn the selector to the coffee position. The pilot lamp will come on. After a few minutes the water will boil, filter through the coffee and flow down into the jug. When the coffee stops coming out turn the switch to the OFF position. 6. If you wish the coffee to go directly into the cups, place the adapter onto the filter holder, as shown in figure 6. Important: After making the coffee, the filter holder should be left to cool down for a few minutes before removing it from the coffee maker. Preparing Cappuccino 1. Follow the instructions for making coffee. The level mark on the jug shows the amount of water needed to make two cups of coffee with frothy milk. If you want to make four cups, fill the jug to just below the metal band. 2. When you have made the desired amount of coffee turn the switch to the OFF position. Place a jug of cold milk under the steam outlet and then switch the selector to the steam position. 3. To obtain froth, place the steam pipe just on the surface of the milk and move the jug with a circular motion. Once the froth is ready, move the jug up and down slightly to heat up the milk. Turn the selector back to the OFF position. 4. Pour the frothed-up milk onto the coffee. If so desired, it can be sprinkled with powered cinnamon or grated chocolate and decorated with a stick of cinnamon. Important: The tank can only be opened safely when all the water has been used up. To release the pressure, place a jug of water under the steam sprayer and turn the selector to the steam position. When the steam stops coming out put the switch back to the OFF position. MAINTENANCE & CLEANING Unplug the appliance from the mains before proceeding to clean it. Wash the moving parts with soapy water. Wipe down the coffee maker’s body with a damp cloth. The drip tray can be removed to make cleaning easier. In order to clean the steam nozzle, remove the plastic hood, as shown in figure 8. fill the tank with enough water for one cup and use the steam spray without any milk. Switch off the steam and rub the nozzle down with a damp cloth immediately afterwards. Take care when doing this as it may be very hot. Empty out any water that may be left over after each use. Do not store it away with the filter holder fitted. The cable can be coiled up under the appliance. DESCALING The coffee maker should be descaled regularly. Pour a mix of one cup vinegar /two cups water into the tank and operate the appliance twice, including the steam pipe, but without any coffee. To flush out any vinegar remains run it through twice more using just water. ADVICE ON DISPOSAL: Our goods come in optimised packaging.
