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 dis-
pense 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 until it turns off and that the indicator light (E) turns on 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 dispensing water. In this way the boiler temperature will drop.
The indicator light (E) turns off. As soon as the indicator light (E) will turn on again the machine is ready to
brew coffee.
HOW TO MAKE TEA OR TISANES
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.

The ground coffee in the filter holder has to be pressed lightly. Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker
depends on the degree the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the filter holder and the pressing. Just a few
seconds are needed for the coffee to flow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this means that
the coffee is ground too fine or that the coffee put into the filter holder has been pressed too much.
