[. . . ] · To disconnect the appliance, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet. · Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. · This appliance is for household use only. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. [. . . ] As a general rule, use a level measure of coffee (approx. However, the amount of coffee to be used can vary according to personal taste. · Use good quality medium ground coffee specially for coffee percolators. · Close the lid and press the "coffee" switch (fig. The red "ON" light on the left of the switch shows that the machine is working. The coffee will begin to brew after a few seconds and will finish doing so at the sound of the characteristic gurgle which means the process has finished. It is entirely normal for the machine to emit steam during the coffee percolating or for a few drops of condensation to form around the lid. By leaving the "coffee" switch pressed after brewing, the hotplate (S) will keep the coffee in the carafe at just the right hot temperature. 7 PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO Filling the Boiler with Water · Unscrew the boiler cap (D) by turning it in an counter clockwise direction. · Fill the carafe with 6 oz (170 gr) maximum of water, corresponding to the amount needed to make one coffee (fig. · Pour the water slowly into the boiler, first making sure that the "cappuccino" switch is off and that the steam knob is turned off. · WARNING: In order to fill the boiler when it is hot - for example immediately after the water contained in it has run out while a cappuccino is being made - no more than the above mentioned quantity of water (6 oz. /170gr. ) should be poured in, corresponding to the amount of water needed to make a coffee and never try to fill the boiler up to the MAX line (fig. 8) while it is still hot, otherwise the appliance will fail to froth the milk properly the next time. · Next close the steam boiler cap by turning it firmly clockwise. Note: for safety reasons it is not possible to open the cap when the steam boiler is warm because it turns without unscrewing; it is necessary to wait for all the water contained in the steam boiler to be completely used up in order to fill it, or else to wait for the boiler to cool down. · Be sure to add water in the boiler only once it is completely empty. Preparing the Milk for Cups of Cappuccino · Before dispensing milk, the boiler must be preheated for 10 minutes. Therefore, press the "CAPPUCCINO" button before preparing coffee; doing so, the boiler will heat right up. · Prepare the coffee as illustrated in the paragraph headed "PREPARING THE COFFEE" and pour about 2 fl. · To make a cappuccino, pour into the tank milk which is neither boiling nor hot. With the tank filled to the "MAX" line, 2 or 3 cappuccinos can be made. Never exceed the little mark which is placed immediately above the word "MAX" (fig. 10) or the milk may continue to drip from the pipe after the cappuccino has been prepared. [. . . ] Warning: never discale the boiler. SERVICE AND REPAIR If the appliance should break down or fail to work properly, contact the nearest authorized technical service centre. Repairs carried out by unauthorized staff will invalidate the guarantee. DESCALING With the passing of time the calcium contained in the water will cause blocking which will prevent the machine from working properly. The machine should therefore be descaled at least every 40 cycles. Descaling should be carried out using the special coffee descalers which are on sale in most stores.
