ENGLISHHow to make a good Espresso coffee:1 Follow the procedure described under“Preparation”.2 Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) andinsert it in the filter holder (9).Use the small filter for 1 cup and the largefilter for 2 cups of espresso.Then insert the filter holder (9) into thebrewing head (11) to warm-up3 Wait until the machine has reached the correcttemperature with filter holder inserted(heating time of about 6 minutes).Use this time to set table, prepare cups,coffee, milk, etc4 After the warm-up period, remove the warmfilter-holder (9) from the brewing head andfill with correctly ground espresso coffee usingthe measuring spoon provided.Place one level measure of coffee in basketfor each cup of espresso. Do not overfill.Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper(18) provided. Do not compress too firmly.5 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filterholder (9). Insert filter holder into brew headby holding handle approximately 45degrees to the left as you face machine. Whenproperly aligned,move handle firmly to theright to lock into position.The handle should point to the front of themachine or slightly to the right.6 Place one or two espresso cups on the dripplate to line up with the spouts of the filter holder.Depress hot water/brew switch (2) to pos. “1”.Espresso will start to flow into cups.7 When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switchto “0”. The more water you allow to flow, theweaker the coffee. When properly made, theespresso will have a light brown foam “cre-ma” floating on the top.If not, refer to “In the event of faultyfunction”.8 Remove cups and serve.9 To make more espresso, carefully and slowlyremove the filter holder by moving handle tothe left. Be careful as hot water will be on topof the coffee grinds in the holder. Some waterwill continue to drip from brewing head asfilter holder is removed. That is normal anddue to the pump pressure in the system.Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. Formore espresso repeat steps 4 to 8 abovePreparing cappuccino:When preparing to make a cappuccino, haveall of the ingredients at hand as well as afrothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmedor low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.)than those used for espresso.Frothing Milk:The higher the fat content in the milk the denserthe froth will be. The Turbo-Frother (8) or milkfrother (24) will give you all the froth requiredbut don’t let milk come to a boil.It may require two or three attempts to “becomean expert” but you will be successful at frothingmilk if you give it a chance. Swivel the Turbo-Frother steam nozzle (or milk frother) slightlyoutward so that you can get the frothing pitcherunder the nozzle without knocking the base ofthe machine.Turbo frother steam nozzle version:1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as describedabove2 Position steam switch (4) to “1”.3 After 15 to 20 seconds or, when temperatureready-light (3) goes on, place the frothingpitcher halffilled with low-fat milk under Tur-bo Frother steam nozzle so that tip is justunder the surface of the milk. See Fig.03.• 11 •OPTIONAL“Perfect crema” device (13)To ensure the optimum function of the “Perfectcream” device, insert the frothing jet deviceinto the filter holder.We recommend that the “Perfect cream”device be cleaned on a daily basis, beforeuse, in order to prevent any blockage of thedelivery holes. A pin may be used to cleanout the hole.Even if the type of coffee grinding is not correctthe use of the “Perfect cream” device will pro-duce the typical creamy froth of an espressocoffee.N.B.:Only use the “perfect cream device witha large 2-cup filter.
