7. STEAM FUNCTION
The steam is used to foam up milk (for example to
make a cappuccino).
• Turn the selector d1 to the position (fig. 16) (to
obtain more steam, the
temperature needs to be higher than when making
coffee).
• The ON/OFF button LED flashes again then
remains lit. The appliance is then ready for use.
• Put the milk in a container. For best results, we
recommend you use a container with a small
opening (small jug for example).
• Place the steam nozzle in the milk.
• Turn the switch to the position (steam) (fig. 17):
the steam comes out into the milk.
• In order to give the milk plenty of froth, move the
appliance in a circular direction from top to bottom
(fig. 18)
, making sure that the steam nozzle
remains upright at the centre of the container.
(figs. 20c)
.
• To obtain a good froth on your milk, we
recommend that you use very fresh, very cold
pasteurised or UHT milk. Avoid using untreated
milk.
• During operation, it is normal for the temperature
light of the ON/OFF button to light up and then
extinguish.
• When the foaming is completed, stop the device
(switch d1 in position ).
• When the d1 switch is turned to , the device
cools automatically. During the cooling phase, the
light on the on/off button flashes, and hot water
and/or steam flows into the drip tray. When the
optimum temperature for the preparing an
espresso is reached again, the light stops blinking.
8. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
A. The appliance
• Unplug the machine each time before cleaning and
leave the appliance to cool down.
• Clean the outside of the appliance from time to
time with a damp sponge. Wash the tank, the drip
tray and its grill regularly and dry them.
• Rinse the inside of the tank regularly.
• When a fine white film obscures the tank, carry out
a descaling operation. (see paragraph 9.
DESCALING).
• Do not use alcohol or solvent based cleaning
products.
• To clean the hot water grid thoroughly, regularly
prepare an espresso without coffee.
• Only clean with a damp cloth, do not use
detergents or abrasive products.
B. The filter holder
The appliance that you have purchased is equipped
with a removable ejecting filter holder, which allows
you to maintain it in perfect working order. We
recommend that you clean it each time after use.
These removal/fitting operations must be carried out
when the machine has cooled down.
1. Removal of the filter holder:
• Remove the filter holder from your machine.
• Dispose of the used coffee or pod by pressing the
"push" button (fig. 15).
• Rinse in clear water.
• Remove the bottom of the filter holder by rotating
it clockwise, turning the 2 fixed coffee outlets in
order to disassemble it.
2. Cleaning and rinsing the filter holder:
The filter holder may then be cleaned using a
household detergent and a scouring pad, but must
be rinsed afterwards in clear water. For best results,
you may activate the ejection button several times
while rinsing.
We recommend shaking your filter holder
vigorously in order to evacuate all water.
3. Fitting the filter holder:
Replace the bottom of the filter holder by rotating it
anti-clockwise to lock it.
C. Of the drip tray
When the drip tray full level is displayed, it must be
emptied after removing the grid (fig. 19). The
presence of water is normal, and does not mean
there is a leak. If necessary, clean the drip tray and its
grid with water and a little non-aggressive washing
up liquid. Rinse and dry.
D. From the steam nozzle (Fig 20 a, b)
This accessory consists of 2 parts: one part which is
the plastic support and the other which is the metal
protection cylinder.
•
Before cleaning, unlock the nozzle from the
articulated arm by turning it to the left.
•
Then slide the metal cylinder along the plastic
support.
•
Clean these two parts with tap water and some
mild washing-up liquid.
