Auto-Off Function; How To Make Cappuccino - ARIETE 1387A Manual Del Usuario

filter holder in the order indicated (Fig. 2). Use the single spout (S) Fig. 12 for one cup of coffee, and for two
cups put the double spout (T) Fig. 13 on the machine. Measure out the coffee in the filter and lightly press
with the specially provided presser: two measures for two cups and one measure for one cup. Insert the filter
holder into its seat.
Warning!
Tighten the filter holder while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 15).
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.
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.
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from filter holder; this is perfectly
normal.
To start dispensing, pull the control lever (B) forward Fig. 16. To stop dispensing, raise the control lever (B) to
put it back in the vertical standby position (Fig. 18). The maximum serving of coffee is 50 ml.
Warning!
Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter holder when the control lever (B) is in the
coffee dispensing position; danger of burns!
Warning!
Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the filter holder. To re-
move it, turn it slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.
After the coffee is made, gradually loosen the filter holder by turning it clockwise so as to decrease pressure
inside of it. When the machine is in the standby position with the control lever in the vertical position (Fig. 11),
the lamp (E) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is tripping, which serves to
keep the water temperature optimum. It is a good idea to start dispensing the coffee only when this indicator
lamp is off, and this is true for both the first cup and those that follow.

Auto-off function

If the machine is turned on but not in use, the auto-off function operates after about 30 minutes. This function
puts the machine in standby. The ON indicator light (D) is off. To restart the machine press again the power
button (A).
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 fitted
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 indicator light (F) will switch on indicating that the steam function is in operation. When
the indicator light (E) turns on, the machine has reached the right temperature to dispense steam.
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder coupling
seat; this is perfectly normal.
Now pull the steam dispensing lever (H) forward, after making sure you have first 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
flow of steam by gradually lowering the dispensing lever (H) Fig. 22. You will see a thick, creamy froth start
