5). 4.Place the cup or cups (better if preheated by rinsing them under hot water) under the spouts of the filter holder (fig. 11). 5.Make sure that the ESPRESSO OK pilot light (fig. 6) is turned on (if it is off, wait until it turns on), then press the coffee delivery switch (fig. 7) on the machine’s control panel until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained. To stop the flow, press the coffee delivery switch again. NOTE: After having prepared the coffee it is completely normal for some water to drip from the outlet. 6.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left. ATTENTION: to avoid squirts, never detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing. 7.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with the special lever that is built into the handle and let the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter holder (Fig. 12). 8.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4). HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR PREFILLED ESPRESSO PODS (IF FITTED) 1.Preheat the machine as described in the “PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT” section. 2.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod onto the filter (fig. 24). NOTE: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard: this will be indicated on the packaging by the following symbol: The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee to be prepared simply and without mess. 3.Hook the filter holder onto the machine, as always rotating it all the way (fig. 5). 4.Proceed as in points 4, 5 and 6 of the preceding paragraph. 5.In order to remove the pod, press the filter holder button and take it out. 6.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ESPRESSO switch (fig. 4). If you use “illycaffe” coffee pods in your espresso machine, use the special filter holder; insert the coffee pod ensuring the name ‘illy’ is facing down and the long side of the pod is parallel to the handle (see illustration). HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE FILLING THE STEAM BOILER • Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it in an anti- clockwise direction. • Fill the water measuring device up to the 170 gram (6 oz.) line (fig. 13). • Slowly pour the water into the boiler (fig. 14), first making sure that the CAPPUCCINO switch is turned off and the steam knob is closed. When the boiler is full, it holds enough water to make 15 to 20 cappuccinos. • Close the boiler cap by turning it in a clockwise direction. NOTE: for safety reasons, when the boiler is hot, it is bar50 GB 7-11-2000 14:32 Pagina 9 not possible to remove the cap because the threads do not grip. Therefore, to fill the boiler, it is necessary either to wait until all the water in it is used up or until the boiler has cooled. ATTENTION: it is recommended that the boiler be filled when cold and that the measuring container provided be used. If the boiler is filled while hot (for example, if the water runs out while making a cappuccino), it is recommended that only the contents of one measuring container be used. NEVER TRY TO FILL THE HOT BOILER UP TO THE MAXIMUM 170 GRAMS (6 oz.) marked on the boiler itself (fig. 14); this is done, the machine will not froth the milk properly on the next attempt. HOW TO PREPARE A CAPPUCCINO • Before making the coffee, make sure that the steam knob is closed, then press the CAPPUCCINO switch (fig. 15) so as to allow the steam boiler to preheat. • Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE section. Don’t forget to use sufficiently large cups. • Pour the milk into the milk tank (fig. 16). The milk must be neither boiled nor warm. NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at refrigerated temperature. When the tank has been filled up to the MAX line, you can make 2 or 3 cappuccinos. Never fill the tank over the little notch that is located just above the MAX sign (fig. 16); if the tank is too full, the milk may continue to drip from the tube after the cappuccino has been made. • Before starting delivery of the milk, always wait until the ‘CAPPUCCINO OK’ pilot light (fig. 17) comes on. This light indicates that the ideal temperature has been reached for foaming the milk. TIP: if starting with a cold boiler, in order to obtain a warmer milk, wait until the ‘OK’ pilot light comes on twice in a row (about 5 minutes). • Place the cup containing coffee under the tube of the milk tank, check that the internal clamp of the milk tank is secured, then turn the steam knob in an anti clockwise direction at least one full rotation (fig. 18). The foamed milk will start coming out from the tube of the milk tank. When using small size cups, in order to avoid squirts of milk it is necessary to insert the anti spray cap onto the tube of the milk tank (fig. 19). • Fill the cup with the desired quantity of foamed milk. To stop the flow of milk, turn the steam knob in a clockwise direction until closed. In order to ensure that the milk froths correctly, always wait (between making one cappuccino and the next) ...
