5.4 Place the container with milk underneath the nozzle A15. Submerge the
nozzle A15 just beneath the surface of the milk and set the knob A12 to the
steam release position. The nozzle A15 will start releasing steam. Initially
asmall amount of hot water may be released. Hold the container slightly
tilted to ensure that the nozzle A15 remains constantly submerged just
under the surface of the milk. The milk will circulate in the container, it will
heat up and increase in volume. Milk froth will start to form on the surface
of the milk. When the bottom of the container heats up so that it is hot to
touch, stop the milk frothing by turning the knob A12 to the stand-by mode
position. When steam stops being created, remove the container. Using
aswirling motion, whip the froth into the heated milk.
Attention:
The nozzle A15 must remain submerged during the entire frothing
process. Otherwise hot milk may splash out.
5.5 Pour the frothed milk into freshly brewed coffee and use aspoon to add the
milk froth. The recommended milk and coffee ratio for preparing cappuccino
coffee is ⅓ espresso, ⅓ warm milk and⅓ milk froth. To prepare caffè latte,
use ⅓ espresso, ⅔ warm milk and approximately 1 cm of milk froth.
5.6 After removing the sleeve A14, the nozzle A15 may be used in the same
way to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, etc. When heating water, submerge
the nozzle A15 at least 5 cm under the water level.
5.7 After using the hot steam release function, it is necessary to drain the
remaining water from the boiler A13; this will prevent the subsequently
brewed coffee from being steamed with water that is too hot. Press the
button A5 to the coffee brewing position, underneath the portafilter A8,
place acup into which the hot water will be drained, and set the knob A12
to the coffee brewing position. Wait until the indicator A6 turns off. Then
set the knob A12 back to the stand-by mode position. The boiler A13 will
heat the new batch of water up to the optimal coffee brewing temperature.
This is signalised by the indicator A6 being lit.
5.8 When you have finished using it, clean out the nozzle A15 and the sleeve
A14 according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
6. TURNING OFF THE APPLIANCE
6.1 When you have finished using the appliance, turn it off by pressing and
holding down button A3 for 3 seconds.
Note:
The appliance will turn off automatically after 25 minutes of inactivity
or after continuous use of the steam nozzle, or when the pump runs
non-stop for 3 minutes in the coffee brewing mode.
BASIC GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BREWING
QUALITY COFFEE
■ Always brew coffee in aclean espresso machine. Adirty appliance can
negatively impact the taste of the coffee beverage. Instructions for
cleaning and removing limescale deposits are found in chapter Cleaning
and maintenance.
■ For brewing quality coffee, it is necessary to use fresh drinking water. Do not
use warm, heated, distilled, mineral or sparkling water. Do not leave water
in the water tank A9 for longer than one day.
■ Brew coffee from pre-ground coffee that is intended for espresso machines
or using freshly ground coffee beans. When using ground coffee beans, it
is important to correctly set the grinding fineness. Coffee beans need to be
ground to afine texture but not too fine. If the ground coffee feels like fine
flour when sifted between the fingers then the coffee will be brewed for too
long and the resulting beverage will be too dark and bitter, or the filter may
become clogged. If the coffee beans are ground too coarsely, the brewing
process will be too fast and the resulting beverage will have awatery taste
and bland aroma.
■ Select coffee beans, among others according to the roasting date marked
on the package. We recommend consuming freshly roasted coffee beans
within 3 weeks of the roasting date. To shorten the storage time, purchase
it in smaller packages. Store it in acool, dark and dry location, ideally in an
air-tight container.
■ When using pre-ground coffee, store it in an enclosed container, in dry and
cool conditions. Do not place it in arefrigerator or freezer. Consume within
aweek of opening it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■ Prior to cleaning the appliance, press and hold down button A3 for 3 seconds,
disconnect it from the power socket and allow it to cool down.
■ For cleaning, do not use cleaning products with an abrasive effect, solvents,
etc. that could damage the appliance. No part of this appliance is intended
for washing in adishwasher.
CLEANING THE FILTERS, PORTAFILTER AND BREW HEAD
■ Release the portafilter A8 by turning the handle to the left. Remove it from
the brew head A7 and move it above arubbish bin. Turn the portafilter A8 so
that the filter with used coffee grounds points downwards. Use ateaspoon
to remove the coffee grounds. Avoid coming into contact with the surface
of the filter or portafilter A8 as they may still be hot. Prior to removing the
filter from the portafilter A8, cool it down under cold running water. Then
rinse the filter and the portafilter A8 under clean running water and dry
them thoroughly.
■ If you used coffee that was ground too finely, then the holes in the filter may
have become clogged. To clean them out, use athin needle.
■ Remove ground coffee remains from the brew head A7 using adamp
wiping cloth.
Attention:
The brew head A7 remains hot after use due to residual heat. Allow
it to cool down before cleaning it.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
■ The drip tray A11 needs to be emptied and washed every time the appliance
is used.
■ First remove the grate A10 from the drip tray A11 and then remove the
water. Wash the drip tray A11 and the grate A10 in warm water with neutral
kitchen detergent. Then rinse both parts under running water, wipe dry and
return to their place.
CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND THE MILK FROTHING ATTACHMENT
■ It is necessary to thoroughly clean the nozzle A15 and the sleeve A14
after every use.
■ Take off the sleeve A14, rinse under hot running water and wipe dry.
■ Thoroughly clean the nozzle A15 using adampened cloth. In the event that
there are dried milk residues on the nozzle A15, submerge it into acontainer
with hot water to allow them to soak away. In the event that the dried milk
residues clog the steam exhaust outlet, clean it out using aneedle. Finally,
clean the nozzle A15 using adampened cloth, wipe dry and install it on
to the sleeve A14.
CLEANING THE OUTER CASE
■ Wipe the outer surface of the appliance using alightly dampened cloth
and wipe dry.
REMOVING LIMESCALE DEPOSITS
■ It is necessary to regularly remove limescale deposits from the appliance.
Limescale deposits may negatively affect the quality of the brewed coffee
and the lifetime of the appliance.
■ In the case of daily use of the appliance, we recommended to remove the
limescale deposits:
– once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
– once every 2 to 3 months in areas with soft and medium soft water.
■ To remove limescale deposits, use asolution of 8% white vinegar and water
(recommended dilution ratio of 1:2). Instead of the water and vinegar
solution, it is possible to use citric acid or alimescale remover intended
for espresso type machines. The recommended dosage for citric acid is
2teaspoons per 0.5l of water. Dose the limescale remover according to the
manufacturer’sinstructions.
■ Fill the water tank A9 with the solution all the way up to the maximum level
line. Connect the appliance to apower socket. Attach the portafilter A8 to
the brew head A7. Place asufficiently large container under the brew head
A7 and the nozzle A15. Allow the majority of the solution to flow through
the brew head A7 and allow the remainder to flow through the nozzle A15.
■ After using the solution, thoroughly rinse out the water tank A9 using clean
water and allow clean water to flow through the appliance once or twice.
Attention:
Do not forget to regularly check the water level in the water tank A9
and in the drip tray A11.
