300ml (Fig.14).
TIP: use fresh and soft water. Salty or hard water will weaken the flavour.
IMPORTANT: do not use the coffee maker without water in the boiler or alternatively using
hot water for faster operation.
4. Insert the funnel filter in the boiler (Fig. 15).
5. Fill the funnel filter with ground coffee, without pressing it (Fig.16). Fill it a little at a
time to prevent spilling the ground coffee.
6. Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and remove any excess coffee from the edge of the
filter.
IMPORTANT: Use good quality, medium-ground coffee, for Moka coffee makers.
7. Tighten the coffee maker securely, without exaggerating, holding the boiler with one hand
and turning the pitcher clockwise with the other, without pushing on the handle (Fig.17).
IMPORTANT: The black dot--" " of the pitcher must come to the lock mark-- " "of the
boiler.
8. Rest the coffee maker on the base and close the lid (Fig.18).
9. Press the on/off switch. The pilot light indicates that the coffee maker is on (Fig.19).
10. The coffee will start to be released after a few minutes.
11. When the coffee has brewed, the indicator will go out automatically. Take the pitcher out
of the power base. Stir the coffee for uniformity before serving it. Then the wonderful
espresso coffee is ready.
When preparing just half a pot, the coffee maker should be left on the base for around 5
minutes after brewing, to allow it to reach the ideal temperature.
IMPORTANT: the first time that the coffee maker is used, all the accessories and the
internal circuits should be washed with hot water. Then make a few batches of coffee and
throw them away.
12. When you need to take the pitcher off the boiler, it must be done after the boiler is cool
enough as follow: unscrew with one hand holding the handle and the other hand pressing
the bottom on a stable table and so on.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Before performing the cleaning operations, wait for the coffee maker to have cooled down
after use.
2. Clean the inside of the tube periodically.
3. Unscrew the valve-spout(Fig.20), and flush and clean the main body and the
spout(Fig.21).
4. Regularly check the funnel and the gasket: replace if there are signs of wear or
deterioration. Use original spare parts only.
5. Every so often check that the holes in the disk filter are not blocked; if necessary, clean
using a pin (Fig.22).
6. Do not wash the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
7. When cleaning do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Simply clean it with a sponge,
keeping attention not to wet the electrical parts.

them in water (Fig.23 & 24).
