COFFEE PREPARATION
Foreword: the X6 machine has been designed to provide the best coffee using an Illy E.S.E. coffee pod as shown in figure 7.
If a different serving is used, remove the excess paper, leaving a 5 mm border around the coffee pod; otherwise technical inconveniences may arise and
water may leak from the extraction group.
Make sure that the machine ready light (E) comes on and switch (C) is in coffee position (out) (fig. 8).
Remove filter-holder (G), place the serving in the centre of the filter-holder (fig. 9), fit filter-holder in the brewhead and turn to the right until it is aligned
with the type of coffee required.
In fact, the machine is fitted with the innovative extraction group >TRIO that allows a mild coffee (fig.10A), normal coffee (fig.10B) or extra-strong
coffee (fig. 10C) to be prepared in the best possible way, depending on how the filter-holder is positioned.
Press in switch (B) and once you have the required amount of coffee press out switch (B).
When the operation has been completed, remove the filter-holder and then the used serving by turning the filter-holder upside down and tapping the edge
on the rubber used serving dump (fig. 11).
To prepare other coffees, repeat the entire sequence.
Before switching off the machine or after each use, empty the filter-holder, put it back in the brewhead and flush it with hot water so as to remove any
residues.
Caution: Should you forget to switch the water off, the machine will automatically switch the pump off after about two minutes and an acoustic signal will
come on every second; to reset operation, simply press out switch (B).
Do not used distilled or demineralised water to prepare coffee.
Caution: If the machine has been on for several hours without any coffee having been prepared, you may notice a few problems in getting it restarted
(button B). Simply open the steam knob (I) for a few seconds, after having pressed the coffee button (B), and the machine will restore its normal
operation.
STEAM GENERATION TO MAKE A CAPPUCCINO
To make a cappuccino, after having prepared the coffee, pour some cold milk into a metal recipient and follow the instructions below.
Make sure that the filter-holder has no serving in it.
Press switch (C) in steam position; the machine ready light (E) will switch off and the thermometer temperature indicator (F) will start to go up (fig. 12).
When the machine is ready, a short acoustic sound will be given and the green light will come on again; turn the steam knob (I) anti-clockwise, allow the
residual water to flow out of the pipe until steam is released, then close the steam valve.
Place the milk recipient under the steam wand (J) (fig.13) and turn the steam knob (I) anti-clockwise.
The small hole (K) on the steam wand will take in the necessary amount of air to create a froth for the cappuccino; therefore make sure that it is not covered
by the milk.
Once the desired amount of froth has been achieved, close the steam valve and flip switch (C) in coffee position (OUT) (fig.14)
Pour the milk and froth in the cup containing the coffee (fig. 15).
Clean the cappuccino spout (K) from all milk residues (fig. 16) avoiding direct contact with the hands at all times.
CAUTION: Contact with the wand (J) may cause serious burns.
COFFEE PREPARATION AFTER STEAM DISPENSING
It is very important to avoid making an espresso immediately after steam has been dispensed, as the machine is still too hot and this could compromise the
flavour.
Press selector switch (C) from steam position (in) to coffee position (out); light (E) goes off for a few minutes giving the machine a little time to cool down;
when the boiler has reached a suitable temperature, the light comes on again and coffee can be prepared once again.
If you wish to reduce the temperature of the machine quickly and obtain a perfect espresso, follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure that the empty filter-holder is inserted in the brewhead and switch (C) is in coffee position (out). (fig.14)
2. Turn on coffee switch (B), so that the water flows into a recipient until a brief acoustic signal is given and the green light comes on again. (fig. 17)
3. The boiler has again reached a suitable temperature to prepare an espresso coffee.
CAUTION: If switch (C) is in steam position (pressed in), coffee switch (B) does not work. (fig. 18)
HOT WATER DISPENSING
Hot water is dispensed through the steam wand (J).
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that coffee switch (B) and steam switch (C) are pressed out and the machine ready light (E) is on
2. Place a recipient under the steam wand
3. Turn the steam knob (I) anti-clockwise and press in the water/coffee switch (B) (fig. 19)
4. Dispense the required amount of hot water
5. Press out water/coffee switch (B) and turn steam knob (I) clockwise (fig. 20).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For correct operation and a high quality standard acurate cleaning of the machine is recommended on a regular basis.
Procedures to be followed with cold and disconnected machine:
- water tank cleaning
- filter-holder cleaning; NB: cleaning and removal of any solid residues is more accurate if the filter is removed by means of the screw (fig. 21)
- steam wand cleaning; NB: remove any milk residues on the wand, the air intake hole and the steam outlet hole with precision
- drip tray cleaning
- grate cleaning.
Should there be any water leak from the filter-holder when preparing coffee, replace the O-R seal by removing it from its seat (fig. 22) and inserting the new
one provided (T) (fig. 23). To clean the plastic filter-holder release it from the handle. To do this, turn the used serving container (U) upside down and press
the spout in the hole, the filter will automatically drop out (fig. 24).
Procedures to be followed with machine on:
To remove fatty residues of coffee from the extraction group compartment, which can spoil the aroma and taste of your espresso if they deposit and age,
clean the machine every 30 days using a cleaning tablet to dissolve such residues. A sample of this product can be found inside the package.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the filter-holder handle (G) from the machine
2. Place a tablet in the filter
3. Replace the handle (G) with the tablet in the machine
4. Position a recipient beneath the filter-holder, turn on the coffee switch (B) for 30 seconds and wait 60 seconds before turning on the coffee switch again.
During this 60-second break, turn the handle to the left and to the right and vice versa, several times to clean the seal as well
5. Repeat point 4 six times
6. Once the 6 cycles have been completed, make sure there are no tablet residues in the filter-holder
7. If there are any residues, make sure they are removed by releasing the filter-holder from the machine, and washing it with hot water by turning on
coffee switch (B)
8. Turn off coffee switch (B)
9. Replace the filter-holder handle (G) in the machine
Important:
Remember to keep the steam pipe clean from any milk residues both inside and outside the holes.
Clean the cappuccino maker immediately after every use by means of a sponge. The holes can be cleaned using a pin (fig. 16).
At night dip the filter-holder in a recipient filled with water to keep it clean.
DESCALING
The need to remove limescale depends on the type of water used, the hours of machine operation and the number of coffees made. The following table
contains a few indicative values relating to daily use.
Limescale content Descaling
From high to very high every month
Average every 2 months
Low every 3 months
Do not use distilled or demineralised water to prepare coffee.
CAUTION: The use of our descaling product (fig. 25) is recommended. If limescale removal is not performed, it could cause defective operation, which is not
covered by the warranty. Vinegar, lye, salt, formic acid damage the machine!
Descaling procedure:
Dilute the contents of a sachet in 1 litre of water. Pour the solution in the water tank. Switch on the machine and flush the equivalent of 2 to 3 cups. Wait 15
minutes and flush 2 or 3 cups of solution at regular intervals until the water has finished. Repeat the operation until all the solution has been used up. Then
wash the tank, fill it with fresh water and flush again with clear water about ten times so that the boiler is completely free from any residues. Caution: if
descaling is not carried out regularly, it must be performed by an authorised assistance centre.
