If youneed to remove it for any reason, first vent all the steamin the boiler using the steam knob as described above.USING THE TWO-CUP ADAPTERThe adapter must be used when you want to makecoffee directly in the cups rather than in the carafe.To apply the adapter, hook it onto the bottom of thefilter-holder (Fig. 26).IMPORTANT: When using the appliance for the firsttime, all the accessories and the internal circuits mustbe washed as follows:• DRIP COFFEE MAKER: Make at least two carafesof coffee without using ground coffee (followingthe instructions in the section HOW TO MAKEDRIP COFFEE).• ESPRESSO MAKER: Make at least fourcappuccinos without using ground coffee andusing water instead of milk (following theinstructions in the section HOW TO MAKECAPPUCCINO).HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO• To make two cappuccinos, prepare the espressocoffee as described in the section HOW TO MAKEESPRESSO COFFEE from point 1 to point 11, butadd the quantity of water required to make twocappuccinos up to level 2 on the WATER LEVELside of the carafe, as shown in the table at the endof the instructions. (Note: the quantity of water formaking cappuccinos is greater than that needed forespresso. The additional water is used to producesteam to froth the milk).• Press the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFFbutton for espresso coffee. Theespresso/cappuccino indicator light will illuminateto indicate the espresso coffee maker is operating.• Let the coffee drip into the small carafe. When thedarker coffee (which is below the lighter coloredcream) reaches level 2 on the COFFEE LEVEL sideof the carafe (Fig. 27), position the Vario Systemselector on CAPPUCCINO (Fig. 21). This must bedone with the utmost care. If the coffee goes abovelevel 2, there will not be enough steam leftafterward to froth the milk.• Pour the coffee into two sufficiently large cups.• Pour about 3.5 oz. of milk for each cappuccino youwant to make into a container. Use only fresh milk,not boiled and in particular not hot. Whenchoosing the size of container to use, keep in mindthat the volume of the milk will double or triple.• Immerse the cappuccino maker into the milk toabout 5 mm (Fig. 28) and turn the steam knobcounter-clockwise (Fig. 25) (how far you turn theknob determines the amount of steam that willcome out). At this point, the milk begins to increasein volume and becomes creamier.• When the volume of the milk has doubled, immersethe cappuccino maker down to the bottom to heatthe milk (Fig. 29). Close the knob only after all thesteam has been released from the boiler.• Press the ESPRESSO/CAPPUCCINO ON/OFFbutton to turn off the machine.
