until the steam ready light (I) comes on. When
using small cups, to avoid splashes of milk, fit
the splash hood (G) onto the milk tube (fig. 16).
• Rotate the steam knob anticlockwise to discharge
the frothed milk from the tube (fig. 15). For correct
frothing and to avoid splashes of milk, rotate the
knob at least one turn. Continue until half the milk
has been emptied from the tank, then shut off the
steam by rotating the knob clockwise.
• Repeat the operation for the number of cups
required until the milk tank is empty.
IMPORTANT:
always wait until the "steam ready" light (I)
comes on.
• Immediately after preparing the cappuccino cof-
fees, pour a little water into the milk tank and
place the jug under the milk tank tube. Rotate the
steam knob and vent the steam completely (about
one minute).
IMPORTANT: Even when apparently unneces-
sary, it is essential to perform this operation
each time to empty the boiler completely of all
residual water or steam which might otherwise
compromise correct operation next time the
appliance is used. For hygiene reasons, this ope-
ration also cleans all the holes in the emulsifier
and empties internal circuits of possible milk
residues.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or servicing, disconnect the applian-
ce by removing the plug from the socket.
Cleaning the milk frother
The milk frother must be cleaned each time you use
the appliance. Proceed as follows:
• Remove the milk tank by pressing the "PRESS"
lever and at the same time pulling upwards. Wash
with hot water (fig.17).
• Remove the red emulsifier by pressing on the clip
(A) and at the same time pulling upwards (fig.
18). Remove the rubber mixer, wash and clean
with hot water (fig. 19), particularly the four holes
indicated in figure 20 (use a needle). Make sure
the hole indicated with the arrow B is not blocked.
•
Once clean, all elements must be replaced cor-
rectly. In particular, make sure the rubber mixer
is inserted completely and that the red emulsifier
is pushed in fully until it clicks into place. If you
do not clean the tube after use, milk frothing
may not be successful, the milk may not be
sucked up or milk may drip from the milk tube.
Other cleaning
• Also clean the jug, filter holder and filter regularly.
• When cleaning plastic components of the
appliance, do not use solvents or abrasive deter-
gents. Clean with a soft cloth only.
• NEVER immerse the appliance in water.
DESCALING
You are recommended to descale the coffee machine
about every 300 coffees. You should use a commer-
cially available product specifically for descaling
espresso coffee machines. If you cannot obtain such a
product, you can also follow the procedure below.
1. First clean the coffee machine, turn off and unplug
from the mains.
2. Fill the jug to the brim.
3. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 10/15 g) of citric acid
(obtainable from chemist's or drug stores);
4. Pour the solution into the boiler.
5. Replace the boiler cap and leave the solution to
work for about 30 minutes.
6. Place the selector in the "LIGHT" position.
7. Put the filter and filter holder in position (without
coffee).
8. Position the jug on the drip tray.
9. Plug the appliance into the mains.
10.Turn the coffee machine on. After a few minutes,
the hot solution will start to flow through the filter
holder on the jug.
11.Place the steam tube in a glass or cup. Open the
steam knob for a few seconds while the descaling
solution flows through the filter holder. This cleans
all residues of milk from inside the tube.
12.Close the steam knob (the descaling solution will
continue to flow into the jug).
13.When the solution stops flowing into the jug, turn
off and allow the machine to cool down.
Remove the filter holder, filter and jug and rinse
with hot water.
14.To remove traces of descaler, perform at least 2
coffee-making cycles without coffee.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the
guarantee.
SERVICE AND REPAIR
If the machine breaks down or is faulty, contact your
nearest technical service centre. Repairs not carried
out by authorised personnel invalidate the guarantee.
