THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY  
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS  
-
-
-
A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord.  
Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if  
care is exercised in their use.  
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electri-  
cal rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the  
extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged  
so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or  
tripped over.  
-
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade  
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety featu-  
re. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug  
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Note: For safety reasons, it is not possible to  
open the boiler cap when the boiler is hot. If it  
has to be removed for any reason, it is always  
necessary to let off steam from the boiler using  
the steam knob as described immediately  
above.  
HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT ESPRESSO  
1 Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it  
counter-clockwise.  
2 Using the carafe supplied (fig. 1) pour water  
into the boiler (fig. 2) according to the  
amounts shown in the table at the end of the  
text. Do not exceed the amounts  
shown as this could cause the appli-  
ance to malfunction. While filling the boil-  
er make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the  
OFF position.  
3 Carefully close the boiler cap by turning it  
clockwise.  
4 Insert the filter into the filter-holder. (fig. 3).  
5 Put the coffee evenly into the filter according  
to the amounts shown in the table following  
(fig. 4). It is important to use medium ground  
coffee. (Avoid using too finely ground coffee  
otherwise the filter could become blocked).  
6 Remove excess coffee from the filter rim (fig.  
5).  
13 To detach the filter holder, turn the handle  
from right to left.  
To remove coffee grounds from the filter  
holder, turn upside down and knock it  
repeatedly until all grounds have been  
removed (fig. 11), or rinse the filter holder  
unit under running water and let drip dry.  
NOTE: To eliminate the "new" smell, the  
first time you use the appliance, per-  
form the coffee-making cycle a couple  
of times without drinking the coffee.  
Coffee flows directly into the cups  
The carafe can be used to brew 2 or 4 cups of coffee.  
If you prefer to brew 2 cups only, fit the adaptor to  
the lower section of the filter holder (fig. 12) and  
place the cups directly underneath the nozzles. In  
this way, the coffee will flow directly into the cups.  
7 To attach the filter-holder to the machine  
place the filter holder under the heater-faucet  
(fig. 6). At this point press filter holder  
upwards while at the same time rotating  
counter-clockwise all the way. It is important  
that the filter holder be firmly set in its hous-  
ing.  
MAKING CAPPUCCINO  
A cappuccino is an espresso coffee with a froth  
topping made by heating milk.  
1 Using the following table as a guide, pour  
the required amount of milk into carafe. The  
best results will be achieved using whole  
milk, not skim, which should be at refrigera-  
tor temperature.  
2 Transfer the milk into a container. The con-  
tainer should be large enough to allow the  
milk to expand to triple its volume.  
8 The carafe with the lid must be positioned  
under the filter holder so that the spout is  
inside the opening on the carafe’s lid.  
Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.  
9. If the machine includes the Vario System,  
position the lever within the desired area  
according to the type of coffee desired:  
“light”, “medium” or “strong” (fig.8).  
Models with the Vario System  
3 Follow steps 1-10 in the section "How to  
make Espresso Coffee".  
Note that the amount of water needed to  
make 2 cups of cappuccino is greater than  
that required for 2 cups of normal coffee as  
it also necessary to produce the steam to  
emulsify the milk. You are recommended to  
position the flow regulator on "MEDIUM".  
10 Press the ON/OFF switch (fig.9). The pilot  
light will illuminate.  
11 About three minutes are required before the  
coffee begins to be discharged. Turn off  
power switch after coffee has been dis-  
charged.  
4 Allow the coffee to drip into the carafe until  
it reaches the number 2 marked on the side  
of the carafe, then select "CAPPUCCINO".  
12 Before unscrewing the boiler cap or  
removing the filter holder, residual  
pressure must be released by slowly  
turning the steam knob (fig. 10) so that  
the residual steam can escape.  
When the coffee starts to drip from the filter  
holder, place the steam nozzle in the milk  
ensuring that the nozzle opening is just  
under the surface of the milk, as shown in  
fig. 13 and open the steam valve by turning  
the steam knob counter-clockwise.  
8
ec5/7 GB 19-11-2002 10:08 Pagina 9  
5 Move the container up and down under the  
steam nozzle as in fig. 14 (this will give  
maximum froth). Froth the milk until the  
steam in the boiler has been com-  
pletely used up, then turn the steam knob  
in a clockwise direction in order to close the  
steam valve and set the ON/OFF switch to  
“OFF”  
Cleaning the cappuccino nozzle  
Clean the steam tube (with the cappuccino noz-  
zle) of milk immediately after use, as dried milk  
can be difficult to remove.  
Remember: You do this by turning the  
steam control knob counter-clockwise.  
IMPORTANT: Always clean the milk frother and  
steam nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as  
follows:  
Warning: Always empty the boiler of  
any residual water or steam after  
using the appliance by turning on  
the steam knob.  
By turning the steam knob (fig. 15), allow a  
little steam to come out for a few seconds.  
Check that the 3 holes shown in fig. 16 are not  
blocked. If necessary, clean them with the help  
of a pin.  
6 Pour gently or preferably spoon the frothy milk  
onto the coffee, then sprinkle on a little choco-  
late powder for perfect cappuccino coffee.  
Wash the cappuccino maker and steam noz-  
zle thoroughly with warm water.  
Re-attach the cappuccino maker.  
Models without the Vario System  
3 Follow steps 1-10 in the section "Making  
Espresso".  
HINTS  
Note that the amount of water needed to  
make 2 cups of cappuccino is greater than  
that required for 2 cups of normal coffee as  
it also necessary to produce the steam to  
emulsify the milk.  
Making good espresso and cappuccino is not  
difficult, however it does require practice. The  
following tips will help you get the best results  
from your machine:  
4 When the coffee starts to drip from the filter  
holder, place the steam nozzle in the milk  
ensuring that the nozzle opening is just  
under the surface of the milk, as shown in  
fig. 13 and open the steam valve by turning  
the steam knob counter-clockwise.  
5. Move the container up and down under the  
steam nozzle as in fig. 14 (this will give  
maximum froth). Froth the milk until the  
steam in the boiler has been com-  
pletely used up, then turn the steam knob  
in a clockwise direction.  
6 Allow the remaining coffee to drip thorugh  
the filter holder into the carafe, it takes about  
3 minutes,then switch the appliance OFF.  
Warning: Always empty the boiler of  
any residual water or steam after  
using the appliance by turning on  
the steam knob.  
7 Pour the coffee into cups, gently pour, or  
preferably spoon the frothy milk onto the cof-  
fee, then sprinkle on a little chocolate pow-  
der for perfect cappuccino coffee.  
Warm the cups before filling with coffee.  
Use a dedicated espresso coffee for best  
results. They are now widely available from  
supermarkets.  
Freshly ground coffee provides the best fla-  
vor. To maintain flavor, fresh coffee is best  
stored in an airtight container in a cool  
place, even in the fridge.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
1.Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the  
coffee maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.  
2.Clean the filter-holder, filter and drip tray reg-  
ularly.  
ATTENTION: During cleaning, never immerse  
the unit in water – it is an electrical appliance.  
CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER  
About every 300 coffees, clean the filter holder  
for ground coffee as follows:  
• Remove the filter  
• Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash  
in a dishwasher.  
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter  
thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 17).  
Make sure the holes in the metal filter are not  
blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (fig. 18).

ec5/7 GB 19-11-2002 10:08 Pagina 10  
Failure to clean as described above invalidates  
the warranty.  
2. Fill the carafe to the brim.  
3. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 10/15 g) of citric  
acid;  
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 carafe on the drip tray.  
9. Plug into the outlet.  
10.Turn the coffee machine on. After a few min-  
utes, the hot solution will start to flow through  
the filter holder into the carafe.  
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.  
CLEANING THE ESPRESSO BOILER OUTLET  
About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler out-  
let must be cleaned as follows:  
• check that the coffee machine is not warm and  
the plug is detached from the mains;  
• using a screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that  
hold the outlet of the espresso boiler (fig. 19);  
• clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig. 20);  
• clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a  
brush. Make sure the holes are not blocked. If  
necessary, clean with a pin.  
• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;  
• replace the outlet of the espresso boiler.  
Failure to clean as described above invalidates  
the guarantee.  
12.Close the steam knob (the descaling solution  
will continue to flow into the carafe).  
13.When the solution stops flowing into the  
carafe, turn off and allow the machine to  
cool down. Remove the filter holder, filter  
and carafe and rinse with hot water.  
14.To remove traces of descaler, perform at  
least 2 coffee-making cycles without coffee.  
DESCALING  
You are recommended to descale the coffee  
machine about every 300 coffees. You should use  
a commercially 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 outlet.
