Filling the water tank during use
No special operation is necessary when the water in the tank runs out as the machine is equipped with a special self-priming
device. All you have to do is switch off the machine and after unplugging it from the socket-outlet, remove the tank.
Warning!
When removing the tank, be careful not to touch the metal pin of the steam lever (H). Danger of burns!
Fill it again with cool tap water up to the "MAX" level and place it in the relevant seat, making sure it is itted securely.
hOW TO MAKe cAppuccInO
To prepare a cappuccino or heat any other beverage, move the control lever (B) back to activate the steam function Fig.
19. The lamp (F) will turn on to show that the steam function is activated and the lamp (E) will turn on because the water
in the boiler has started to heat. The machine has reached the right temperature for dispensing steam when the lamp (E)
turns off.
Warning!
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the ilter holder; this is perfectly normal.
Now pull the steam dispensing lever (H) forward, after making sure you have irst placed a glass underneath the Maxi
Cappuccino device (J) Fig. 21. First a little bit of water will come out, immediately followed by a strong jet of steam. Stop
dispensing steam by pushing the steam dispensing lever (H) back, and put the pot of milk to be whipped under the Maxi
Cappuccino device. Plunge the wand all the way into the milk and re-open the low of steam by gradually lowering the
dispensing lever (H) Fig. 22. You will see a thick, creamy froth start to rise within moments. Pull the steam dispensing lever
back up when you have achieved the desired result.
During these operations you may notice that the warning light (E) goes on and off from time to time, indicating that the boiler
thermostat is keeping the water required for the steam supply at the right temperature.
It is opportune you start dispensing the steam only when the lamp is off. Dispense the steam for a few seconds after
every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.
Once the cappuccino is ready, switch off the steam function by putting the control lever (B) back in the vertical stand-by
position.
MAKIng FurTher cups OF cOFFee
Once the cappuccino is ready, switch off the steam function by putting the control lever back in the vertical stand-by position.
The lamp (F) will turn off.
Warning!
Steam is still inside the boiler! Even if you have switched off the steam function, do not lower the water/steam
dispensing lever (H). There is a danger of burns causes by squirts of hot water and steam that might come out of
the Maxi Cappuccino device.
The temperature of the water in the boiler is still high, and might compromise the taste of the coffee. So to dispense a cup
of coffee right after making a cappuccino, you have to wait for the boiler temperature to go back to the optimum temperature
for making coffee. Wait for the lamp (E) to turn on and then off again.
To speed up the boiler cooling process, just place a glass underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device (J) and with the control
lever in the vertical standby position, lower the water/steam dispensing lever (H) to make hot water come out of the dispens-
ing water. In this way the boiler temperature will drop.
Warning!
Do not touch the hot water coming out of the spout. Danger of burns.
The lamp (E) will turn on a few seconds later to indicate the boiler thermostat has intervened. The machine will be ready for
making coffee as soon as the lamp (E) turns off again.
Warning!
Little puffs of steam may come out of the closed capsule holder while dispensing. This phenomenon is to be con-
sidered absolutely normal.

When the machine is in the coffee-ready position, i.e. with the lamp (E) off and with the control lever in the vertical stand-by
position (Fig. 11), place a cup underneath the dispensing wand (J) and gradually lower the water/steam dispensing lever
(H). In this way hot water will come out of the spout. The maximum quantity for two cups is 200 ml.
