IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.
• To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquid.
• Never allow the appliance to be used by children.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.
• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, 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 to be utilized for domestic use only. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only!

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.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3 – wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 – WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

DELIVERING HOT WATER and STEAM

Delivering hot water

1. Always make sure the green and lights  ****are on steady.

2. Turn the cappuccino frother towards the outside of the machine.

3. Position a container underneath the milk frother.
   

4. Press the button. The light comes on to indicate thatthe function has been selected.

5. Turn the steam knob half a turn in counterclockwise until it stops: hot water will come out of the milk frother and start to fill the container underneath.

6. To stop the flow of hot water, turn the knob all the way clockwise and return the cappuccino frother to the original position towards the center of the machine.

7.  Press the button.
   (It is recommended to deliver hot water for no more than 2 minutes).

Important! Danger of burns.

Never leave the machine unsupervised while delivering hot water or steam. The spout becomes hot during delivery. Hold by the handle only.
Please note! If “Energy Saving” mode is enabled, you may have to wait a few seconds before the hot water or steam is delivered.

Delivering steam

1. Place an empty container under the cappuccino frother. Turn the steam knob counter- clockwise as far as it will go (the light flashes). Run off the steam mixed with water for a few seconds until only steam is given off.
   

2. Interrupt steam delivery by rotating the knob clockwise as far as it will go.

3. Empty the container and fill it with about 3.5 oz./100 ml of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.

4. Dip the cappuccino frother into the into the container with milk, taking care not to immerse the raised line on the cappuccino frother. Turn the steam knob counter-clockwise as far as it will go). Steam is discharged from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance.
   (You should not discharge steam for more than 2 minutes at a time).

Tips for using steam to froth milk

• When choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the liquid doubles or triples in volume.
• For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 41F/5°C).
• For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow movements in an upward direction.
• To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the spout.

TEST YOUR WATER

Measuring Water Hardness

1. Remove the “total hardness test” indicator paper attached to this manual from its pack.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute, 1,2,3, or 4 red squares form, depending on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one level.
   

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

DESCALING

Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make the coffee, over time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale. When the light starts flashing, it is time to descale the machine.

Press the button repeatedly until the number of lights that are on coincides with the number of red squares on the test strip



Hold five seconds.

Press to Save the Data.

When setting the water hardness, it is very important to set the correct frequency of the descaling cycles. You should always keep this machine clean, and it will help improve its performance and prolong the life of the machine.

CLEANING and MAINTENANCE

DESCALING

Due to the continuous heating of the water used to make the coffee, over time it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale. When the light starts flashing, it is time to descale the machine.

6. Turn the steam knob half a turn counterclockwise. The descaling solution will come out of the cappuccino frother and start to fill the container underneath.

7. The descaling program automatically per forms a series of deliveries and pauses, so as to remove the lime scale deposits from inside the coffee maker.
