[. . . ] It is a little mechanism that automatically stops the coffee from flowing into the filter cone if the glass jug is taken off the warming plate during the infusion cycle. There can be a period of around 20 seconds between the moment the jug is taken off the warming plate and the moment it is put back in place. The “Stop and serve” mechanism is so efficient that not a single drop of coffee falls onto the warming plate. Leave the hot descaling solution to cool down before passing it through the water compartment again. Then pass 2 full water compartments of clear water through in the same way. Place the appliance close to a wall socket and release the length of cord necessary to plug it in ATTENTION!Place the filter basket (e8) in the filter holder (e9) Do not pack the coffee down too much.

Open the hinged lid and unscrew the boiler safety cap by turning it anticlockwise (Figures 12 and 13). Fill the boiler with cold water using the glass measuring jug (figure 14). The glass jug has a gauge for 2 or 4 cups. To foam the milk for the cappuccino, add the quantity of water that corresponds to the level of steam indicated on the jug. The maximum capacity corresponds to the lower part of the metal ring around the glass jug, i. 4 cups of espresso plus the water necessary for making the steam that will produce the cappuccino foam. ATTENTION Never fill the boiler when the machine is “ON”. [. . . ] Turn the machine off and leave it to cool down. Put the grid back in the percolation head and put the plastic base of the cappuccino accessory back in place. 22 SE_ESPRESSO_EX1500_SEB EX1500 07/02/12 17:13 Page23 Troubleshooting (Always ensure that the machine is plugged in and that it is in the “ON” position).
