[. . . ] Then, switch off the machine, open , the steam knob (4) anticlockwise, and wait until no more steam comes out of the steam pipe (I 2); open the boiler cap (13) anticlockwise and tip up the machine to empty the boiler completely. Check the water level in the boiler: it must never go below the bottom of the level glass (5). Push the switch (6); the internal warning lamp will light up (the machine is now under power), in the meantime also the warning light (7) will light up, photo D. Wait until the warning light (7) turns off; slowly open the steam knob (4) anticlockwise, in order to release the false pressure in the boiler (due to air), then close the knob clockwise. [. . . ] Raise the lever (1) upright (while holding the filter holder handle with the other hand, in order to keep the machine steady), and keep it in this position for some seconds until the first drops of coffee come out. Repeat this operation according to the desired coffee quantity, photo I. , o In order to obtain an even coffee flow, the force applied to the lever must be proportional to the resistance encountered along its stroke. If a weaker coffee is wanted, raise and lower the lever as required to suit your taste. When you have finished making coffee, leave the lever (1) in its lower position (rest position), to prevent water remaining in the boiler flowing out of the group (1 1). Warning: after making a coffee, do not remove the filter holder immediately: wait some seconds, until there is no More pressure between the filter and the group shower. Such pressure may cause the rubber gasket to spring out, or a coffee residue to spray out off the filter. Remove the filter holder (10) from the group (1 1) slowly, turning from left to right, and under a slight pressure downwards, in order First, check the water level in the boiler; carry out the procedure to bring the machine up to pressure. Make sure that the lever (1) is in the lower position (rest position). Before heating any kind of hot drink, carefully allow some steam to come out from the pi e (12), by opening the steam tap knob (4) anticlockwise. tI: is removes the condensation accumulated in the boiler and in the pipe. Then open the knob further, to obtain the required steam delivery, photo L. In order to obtain a large amount of steam, the water in the boiler must be about half way up the level glass (5). To obtain frothy milk for cappuccino, put the milk into a high, narrow iug, half-filled. Dip the steam pipe (12) down to the bottom, slowly open the steam tap knob (4) anticlockwise, and warm the milk up near to boiling. Raise and lower the iug alternatively, with the tap open, making the pipe nozzle just touch the milk surface, for some seconds, until a good froth is achieved. To make the cappuccino, just add the hot frothy milk into a suitable cup containing the previously prepared coffee. Alwa s check the water level in the level glass (5). If th e machine is used with insufficient water, the er ement may be damaged by overheating (the machine is however fitted by a safety thermostat). When switched on, in addition to heating water, the machine reduces pressurized steam inside the boiler; for safety reasons, keep the machine out of chil B ren's reach. [. . . ] 1) no water in the boiler; 2) coffee is ground too fine; 3) too much coffee in the filter. 1) coffee is ground too coarse; 2) too little coffee in the filter. Coffee flows out too quickly: Coffee comes out drop by drop: 1) coffee is ground too fine; 2) too much coffee in the filter or a combination of both. Coffee comes out around the filter brim: 1) the filter holder is not correctly positioned in the group; 2) the filter brim is not clean; 3) the group rubber gasket is worn out. [. . . ]
