a soft pod into the filter holder. The pod is designed to make one cup of coffee. The use of 2 pods on
top of one another is not recommended.
■ Insert the filter holder into the appliance tightening it by turning it towards the right as far as possible
(fig. 11).
■ To prepare your espresso, follow the same procedure as for the preparation of an espresso with ground
coffee.

6. STEAM FUNCTION

Steam is used to foam milk (for example to make a cappuccino).
■ To produce steam, turn the switch d1 to the position
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 into a container. For best results, we recommend you use a container with a small opening
(small jug for example).
■ Plunge the steam nozzle into the liquid.
■ Turn the switch d1 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. (fig. 20c).
The pump operates intermittently, this is normal.
■ To obtain a good froth on your milk, we recommend that you use fresh cold pasteurised semi-skimmed
milk, skimmed milk or UHT milk.
■ During operation, it is normal for the temperature light of the ON/OFF button to light up and then
extinguish.
■ When frothing is completed, stop the appliance device (switch d1 in position
■ When the selector d1 is in the position
automatically. During the cooling down phase, the LED of the ON/OFF button flashes, and hot water
runs into the drip tray. When the optimal temperature for preparing an espresso is reached, the LED
remains lit.
IMPORTANT!
Once the steam has been stopped, clean the steam nozzle immediately and
thoroughly using a damp sponge (to avoid residues from sticking) and let a little
more steam run through into free air to rinse the inside of the nozzle.
WARNING!
The steam nozzle is still hot!
Be careful not to burn yourself.

7. 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).

(fig. 16) (to obtain more steam, the temperature
).
, the appliance cools down
■ Do not use alcohol or solvent based cleaning products.
■ Once the appliance has been unplugged, clean the hot water grill and the seal regularly, using a damp
sponge.
■ 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 back of the filter holder by turning to the left, while pressing in the two brackets.
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 press the ejection button several times while rinsing.
We recommend shaking your filter holder vigorously in order to remove all water.
3. Fitting the filter holder:
Replace the bottom of the filter holder by rotating it anti-clockwise to lock.
C. 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 gentle washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry.
D. 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.
■ Make sure that you don't damage the silicone seal which makes the nozzle watertight.
■ Clean these two parts with tap water and some mild washing-up liquid.
■ Rinse and dry.
■ Once the parts have been properly cleaned, put the metal cylinder back on the support.
■ Insert the nozzle on the articulated arm then lock to the right.
