[. . . ] 10 About three minutes are required before the coffee begins to be discharged. Turn off power switch after coffee has been discharged. 11 Before unscrewing the boiler cap or removing the filter holder, residual pressure must be released by slowly turning the steam knob (fig. 11) so that the residual steam can escape. Note: for safety reasons, it is not possible to open the boiler cap when the boiler is hot as the cap turns without unscrewing. 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. · 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 coffee machine, carry out a number of coffee cycles without using coffee. 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 jug should be large enough to allow the milk to expand to around treble its volume. 6 3 Then follow steps 1-9 in the section "Making Espresso Coffee". N o t e 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. 4 When the coffee starts to drip from the filter holder, place the steam nozzle in the milk (fig. 12) 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 jug up and down under the steam nozzle as in fig. When sufficient milk froth has been produced, turn the steam knob clockwise to close the steam valve. 6 Allow the remaining coffee to drip thorugh the filter holder into the carafe, it takes about 3 minutes, the n swit ch the ap pliance OFF. Remember: Before unscrewing the tank tap or removing the filter holder, residual pressure must be released by slowly turning the steam knob so that the residual steam can escape. 7 Pour the coffee into cups, gently pour, or preferably spoon the frothy milk onto the coffee, then sprinkle on a little chocolate powder for perfect cappuccino coffee.
