• Make sure that there is enough water
in the tank for the amount of coffee
required.
• Press the main switch (9).
• Wait for the light (14a) to turn on. The
appliance has now reached the correct
temperature for dispensing water.
• Remove the filter holder from the
boiler unit (5) and place the large
coffee filter into the filter holder.
• Fill the filter with one or two measures
of ground coffee according to the
number of cups to prepare (fig A).
1 measure = 1 coffee approx. 2
measures = 2 coffees approx. The
quantity of coffee and the amount by
which it is compacted directly affects
the quality and flavour of the espresso.
• Press the coffee lightly using the scoop
and then remove any coffee residues
from the edge of the filter holder (Fig.
B).
• Insert the filter holder into the
group head (5) and place one or two
preheated cups under the filter holder.
• Press the coffee switch (10). Once the
required amount of coffee has been
dispensed, turn off the coffee switch
(10).
• After having made the coffee, remove
the filter holder, empty the coffee
grounds and rinse the filter holder
under running water.
4–3. DISPENSING STEAM
• Steam can be used for frothing the
milk for making cappuccinos or to
warm up drinks.
Caution! Danger of burns! Spurts
of hot water may be ejected when
you first start to dispense steam.
The nozzle can become extremely
hot. Do not touch it directly with
your hands.
Using the turbo frothing nozzle (6):
• Prepare the espresso coffee in large
cups as indicated in the previous
sections.
• When the machine has reached the
operating temperature, direct the
steam nozzle towards the drip tray grid
(7) and open the "Hot water / steam
knob" (4) for a few seconds in order to
remove any residual water from the
steam nozzle.
• When only steam starts to come out,
close the steam / hot water knob (4).
• Move the steam switch (11) to position
"I".
• Place some cold milk in a tall, narrow
container. Fill it with about 100 ml of
milk for each cappuccino you want to
prepare
• After about 15-20 seconds, when the
temperature light (11a) switches off,
place the container with cold milk
under the frothing nozzle (6) and then
immerse the frothing nozzle a few
millimetres into the milk.
For best results when making a
cappuccino, the milk and the cup
should be cold.
• Turn the steam knob (4) slowly
anticlockwise to dispense the steam
and slowly move the container up and
down to obtain a creamier froth.
• Once the volume of milk has
doubled, immerse the frothing nozzle
completely and heat the milk to 60-
65°C.
• Once the milk has been frothed, turn
the steam knob anticlockwise to stop
dispensing steam and remove the milk
container.
• Wipe the steam nozzle with a clean,
dry cloth and then drain it into cloth
to eliminate any milk residues from
inside.
