• Put the filter holder in place and lock it by turning
it to the right as far as it will go, up to the stop
(fig. 12).
• Place a cup under the filter holder.
• Hold down the "1 cup" button (> 3 sec) until the
"1 cup" light flashes quickly. The coffee flows out.
• When the desired amount of espresso is
obtained, press the "1 cup" button. This amount
will be saved automatically.
• The next time when you press the "1 cup" button,
you will obtain the most recently recorded
amount. Programming for 2 cups uses the same
method, by pressing the "2 cups" button (> 3 sec).
• If you turn off the device, the volumes will need
to be reprogrammed the next time you use it.
8. STEAM FUNCTION
Steam is used to foam milk (for example to make
a cappuccino).
• To produce steam, turn the switch d1 to the
position
(fig. 17) (to obtain more steam, the
temperature needs to be higher than when making
coffee).
• The ON/OFF button LED flashes again then remains
lit. The appliance is then ready for use.
• Put the milk into a container. For best results, we
recommend you use a container with a small
opening (small jug for example).
• Plunge the steam nozzle into the liquid.
• Turn the switch d1 to the position (steam)
(fig.
18): the steam comes out into the milk.
• In order to give the milk plenty of froth, move the
appliance in a circular direction from top to bottom
(fig. 19)
, making sure that the steam nozzle
remains upright at the centre of the container.
(figs. 21c)
.
The pump operates intermittently, this
is normal.
• To obtain a good froth on your milk, we recommend
that you use fresh cold pasteurised semi-skimmed
milk, skimmed milk or UHT milk.
• During operation, it is normal for the temperature
light of the ON/OFF button to light up and then
extinguish.
• When frothing is completed, stop the appliance
device (switch d1 in position )).
• When the selector d1 is in the position , the
appliance cools down automatically. During the
cooling down phase, the LED of the ON/OFF button
flashes, and hot water runs into the drip tray. When
the optimal temperature for preparing an espresso is
reached, the LED remains lit.
9. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
A. The appliance
• Unplug the machine each time before cleaning and
leave the appliance to cool down.
• Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time
with a damp sponge. Wash the tank, the drip tray and
its grill regularly and dry them.
• Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.
• When a fine white film obscures the tank, carry out a
descaling operation. (see paragraph 10. DESCALING).
• Do not use alcohol or solvent based cleaning
products.
• Once the appliance has been unplugged, clean the
hot water grill and the seal regularly, using a damp
sponge
(fig. 16).
• Only clean with a damp cloth, do not use detergents
or abrasive products.
B. The filter holder
The appliance that you have purchased is equipped
with a removable ejecting filter holder, which allows
you to maintain it in perfect working order. We
recommend that you clean it each time after use.
These removal/fitting operations must be carried out
when the machine has cooled down.
1. Removal of the filter holder:
• Remove the filter holder from your machine.
• Dispose of the used coffee or pod by pressing the
"push" button
(fig. 16).
• Rinse in clear water.
• Remove the back of the filter holder by turning to the
left, while pressing in the two brackets.
2. Cleaning and rinsing the filter holder:
The filter holder may then be cleaned using a
household detergent and a scouring pad, but must be
rinsed afterwards in clear water. For best results, you
may press the ejection button several times while
rinsing.We recommend shaking your filter holder
vigorously in order to remove all water.
3. Fitting the filter holder:
Replace the bottom of the filter holder by rotating it
anti-clockwise to lock.
C. The drip tray
When the drip tray full level is displayed, it must be
emptied after removing the grid (fig. 20). The
presence of water is normal, and does not mean there
is a leak. If necessary, clean the drip tray and its grid
with water and a little gentle washing-up liquid. Rinse
and dry.

IMPORTANT!
Once the steam has been stopped, clean the
steam nozzle immediately and thoroughly
using a damp sponge (to avoid residues from
sticking) and let a little more steam run through
into free air to rinse the inside of the nozzle.
WARNING!
The steam nozzle is still hot!
Be careful not to burn yourself.
