Check the water level in the tank (H). Make sure that the water tank is correctly placed into its position. Put the Thermoc-
ream® Disc (W), the perforated silicone disc (V) and the Thermocream® Filter (U) into the filter holder in the order indicated
(Fig. 11).
Measure the coffee in the filter ring (Fig. 9) with the supply device that you have chosen and slightly press it (Fig. 12).
Insert the filter holder into its seat
Warning!
Tighten the filter holder firmly by ensuring it is securely fitted against the flange
(Fig. 13).
If too much ground coffee is put inside the filter, turning the filter holder may prove
difficult and/or you may get leaks from the filter holder when the coffee is being
dispensed.
Check that the steam function button has not been unintentionally pressed.
It is advisable to let the filter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup
of coffee so that the first cup is piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of
coffee that follow
The appliance will be ready for use, as soon as light (2) Fig. 2 stops blinking and stays lit.
Then press the switch for the outflow of the coffee (6). Press it again (6) to stop the coffee
outflow. The maximum dose for one coffee is 50 ml.
Warning!
As with professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter ring when the supply
switch (6) is turned on: danger of burns!
Warning!
Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the
filter holder. To remove it, turn it slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes
or spurts of water or coffee.
When the machine is in stand-by, the lamp (2) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is
tripping, which serves to keep the water temperature optimum.
if small puffs of steam come out of the filter holder coupling seat, this phenomenon is to be considered absolutely
normal.
The ARIETE Thermocream® system was specially designed to best meet all of the consumer's needs, and is made up
of two components: the Thermocream® filter (U), and the Thermocream® disc (W) with the perforated silicone disc (V).
Cleaning the three components often, will help guaranteeing its preservation in time.

Before using maxi Cappuccino, make sure you detached the filter holder from its housing.
To brew a cappuccino, or a hot chocolate, or to simply heat up any drink, press the steam button (7), Fig. 2. Light (2) will
go off and light (3), on the steam button, will start blinking; as soon as light (3) stops blinking and stays lit, the appliance is
ready to produce steam.
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder; this is perfectly normal.
Lower the water/steam lever (F), Fig.5, after placing a glass underneath the Maxi Cappuccino stylus (O), Fig. 15. A small
amount of water from the nozzle will be immediately followed by strong jet of steam. Stop the steam delivery by lifting the
lever (F) back up, position a jug containing whipping milk underneath the stylus, reopen the steam flux by slowly lowering
the lever and immerse the stylus deep into the milk: in a few seconds you will notice a thick, creamy foam rising up the jug,
Fig. 16.
Once the operation is completed, deactivate the steam function by pressing the steam button a second time (7). The steam
light (3) will go off.
dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.
