Connect the appliance only to properly-earthed power outlet (minimum 10A). [. . . ] d) To thoroughly pre-wash the circuit, perform the above operation at least five or six times. Fitting the filter cup To fit the filter cup onto the machine, place the cup under the boiler outlet (fig. - The accessories can be heated with hot tap water or in the following way: Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF switch (R). 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. 7, and hook the filter holder onto the machine, to allow it to heat up. - Wait for the OK light to come on, press the coffee dispensing switch (T) and let the hot water heat the accessories. Turn off the dispensing switch, remove and drain the filter cup, filter and coffee cups. You are advised to also perform this operation (hot water dispensing with no coffee in filter) if you want to make coffee after dispensing steam. In this case, performance of an "idle cycle" brings the machine to the ideal temperature for making perfect coffee. - For best results, you are advised to use well-roasted and suitably ground top quality coffee. Method - Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF switch and wait for the OK light to come on. A few drops of water may fall from the boiler outlet: this is quite normal and is not a fault. 7). To prepare just one cup of coffee, fill the filter with 1 even measuring spoon of ground coffee, around 7 grams. 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, distri- buting it evenly and pressing lightly. On machines with pressing pad, this operation can be performed using the pressing pad next to the boiler outlet (fig. 8) in order to ensure more uniform pressing and therefore betterquality coffee. Place the pre-heated cup or cups on the drip tray, under the filter cup spouts. When the light comes on, press the dispensing switch and only release when the desired amount of coffee has been dispensed (about 20-30 sec. ) (fig. 9). 5 MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE Always use fresh water and keep the tank clean. Before dispensing the coffee, always wait for the OK light to come on: this indicates that the water in the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for coffee-making. The coffee cups, filter cup and the filters should be heated before making the coffee. - - - To release the filter cup, wait for a few seconds then turn the handle from right to left. To remove the used coffee, hold the filter in place by means of the special lever built into the handle, turn the filter cup upside down and empty the coffee or tablet by knocking the cup against a firm surface (fig. If the machine is not to be used for a long time, turn it off and empty the water tank. [. . . ] Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee. DESCALING You are recommended to descale the coffee machine about every 200 coffees. You should use a commercially available product specifically for descaling espresso coffee machines. Dissolve 2 spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid (obtainable from chemist's or drug stores). Make sure the filter holder is not attached and position a recipient under the boiler outlet. [. . . ]
