8. USE

The machine has a top shelf on which the

cups are kept and heated, ready for use.

This is very important to obtain good coffee as the

pre-warmed cup stops the coffee from growing cold

too quickly.

8.1. Preparing coffee

● Unclamp the filter-holder from the dispensing unit

and knock any grouts out into the drawer espe-

cially provided for this purpose, taking care not to

damage the rim of the filter.

● Use the filter for 1 or 2 coffees, according to

need.

● Fill the filter with the measure of coffee, level it off

and press it down gently with the presser.

● Remove any ground coffee that has stuck to the

rim of the filter while pressing.

If ground coffee is left on the rim of the filter, a

leaktight seal is not ensured, with consequent

leaking of water and coffee grounds.

● Lock the filter-holder into the dispensing unit firmly

to obtain a leaktight seal.

● Place the cups under the spouts and start pouring

using control 4 or button panel 5 according to

model (Fig.7).

● When the coffee has been poured, leave the filter-

holder attached to the dispensing unit until the next

coffee is required.

When pouring, beware of the hot parts of the

machine, especially the coffee dispensing

units, the steam and hot water spouts. Do not

put your hands for any reason under the units

and the spouts when they are operating.

The grinding of the coffee beans is of fundamental

importance to the making of good coffee, and the

granular texture of the resulting grounds should be

such that it takes 25-30 seconds to produce the

beverage. If the coffee is ground too coardsely the

coffee will be pale in colour and weak in flavour, with

only a very small amount of white cream, and if the

grounds are too fine, the coffee will be dark with no

cream. Good coffee can only be made if the beans

are freshly and uniformly ground (only possible when

the blades of the coffee grinder are sharp) and are

then measured out into the correct quantities (roughly

6 grams per measure).

The importance of freshly ground coffee beans is due

to the fact that once ground, they rapidly lose their

aromatic qualities, and fats present in the beans go

rancid.

8.4. Preparing tea, camomile, etc.

● Place the jug under the hot water spout and use

the delivery control according to the model (Fig.7).

When the desired quantity has been obtained, turn

off the switch.

● Add the beverage desired.

Models DE

For these models, hot water is dispensed in specific

measures (see paragraph 9, adjusting the dose of

hot water).

To dispense hot water in different quantities, proceed

as follows:

● Hold down the delivery control 5B Fig.7 for at least

four seconds then release the button; the machine

continuously delivers water.

● When the desired measure has been obtained,

press the button again to interrupt delivery.

8.3. Heating a beverage

● Immerse the steam spout into the liquid to be

heated.

● Gradually turn on the steam tap 7 Fig.7; the steam

that bursts in the liquid heats it to the desired tem-

perature.

● Turn off the steam tap when the desired tempera-

ture has been reached.

Immediately after carrying out this operation,

clean the spout with a sponge or clean cloth.

Be careful as the spout is hot and may burn

your hand.

8.2. Preparing cappuccino (Fig.8)

● Make cup of cappuccino with the express coffee.

● Use a high and narrow jug, half-filled with milk.

● Place the jug under the spout so that the nozzle

touches the bottom.

● Turn on the steam tap and lower the jug so that

the nozzle is almost at the surface of the milk.

● Now, raise and lower the vessel constantly so that

the steam nozzle is immersed in and out of the

milk to create the froth.

● Turn off the steam tap and pour the milk into the

cup.

Immediately after carrying out this operation,

clean the spout with a sponge or a clean

cloth so that the milk does not dry on it. Be

careful as the spout is hot and may burn

your hand.
