clockwise direction to tightly close  
it (see Figure A & 10), then turn the  
steam control knob in a clockwise  
direction to ensure that the steam  
control knob is tightly closed (see

unit will not build up pressure and  
the water will flow out of the steam  
nozzle.  
Note: at any time, you can take out  
the large jug to serve, but the time  
should not exceed 20 seconds.  
Otherwise, the water will overflow  
out of the filter.  
6. The coffee will keep warm on the  
warming plate if you do not switch off  
the coffee maker. The coffee maker  
will automatically switch off after two  
hours, as a safety feature, so that it  
does not overheat.

This automatically stops the flow of  
brewed coffee through the filter if the  
glass jug is removed from the warming  
plate during the brewing cycle. You  
have about 20 seconds between the  
removal of the glass jug and it being  
reinserted back onto the warming plate.

coffee into cups. Now you can enjoy  
your homemade espresso coffee.  
8. Before removing the filter holder,  
always release the pressure in the  
boiler unit by carefully turning steam  
wait approximately 3 minutes  
for the coffee maker to generate  
enough steam to froth the milk.  
Before generating steam, fill a cup  
(preferably a straight walled cup)  
with about 150 ml of milk (preferably  
2% milk for the best results) for each  
cup of cappuccino. Lift up the cup to

ensure the steam nozzle is immersed  
in the milk, and then carefully turn  
the steam control knob in an anti-  
clockwise direction for it to begin  
frothing milk (Fig. 17). When satisfied  
with the frothed milk then turn off

maker cool down completely before  
cleaning.  
2. Clean the housing of coffee maker  
by wiping it with a moist cloth or  
sponge. Do not use alcohol or  
abrasive cleaning agents as it might  
cause damage to the coffee maker.  
Note: Never immerse the housing in  
water for cleaning.  
3. Remove the filter holder, clean the  
coffee residue inside, and then  
you can clean it and the filter with  
dishwashing liquid. Be sure to rinse  
with clear water.  
Note 1: Bear in mind that the milk  
generally increases in volume by 1.5  
times, so make sure the height of the  
cup is enough.  
4. Clean the glass jugs, permanent filter,  
and drip tray (Fig. 19) in warm water  
with some dishwashing detergent.  
Note 2: to get a better effect, move the  
cup constantly up and down. This  
spreads the temperature throughout  
the milk faster.  
2. Mix espresso coffee with frothed milk  
and stir, add chocolate powder if  
necessary.  
HOW TO DESCALE MY COFFEE  
MAKER  
3. It is necessary to clean the steam  
nozzle once you have finished using  
the coffee maker, so that the dry  
milk doesn’t block the steam outlet.  
In order to do this, grasp the nozzle  
with your hand and secure the pipe  
with your other hand. Now pull the  
steam nozzle off (Fig. 18). Wash it  
with warm water to clean off any milk  
residue. After cleaning, reassemble it  
back into its original position.  
The coffee maker must be de-scaled  
regularly. The frequency depends on  
the hardness of your water and how  
often you use the coffee maker.  
Recognisable indications that de-scaling  
is necessary are:  
Increased noise during boiling  
Longer preparation time  
If usage is frequent, de-scaling should  
be carried out as follows:  
Caution: The steam nozzle will be hot  
after steaming, so we advise  
With soft water, once per year  
With medium water, once every  
3 months  
that you allow it to cool down  
before cleaning or touching it.  
With hard water, once per month  
If in doubt regarding the water  
hardness in your area, you may  
call your local water department.  
For ecological and health  
reasons, we recommend the  
exclusive use of biological  
materials such as citric acid,  
which can be obtained from  
pharmacies.  
Note: to prepare more than one  
cappuccino, first make all the coffees  
and then at the end prepare the  
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
