Steam Delivery; Preparation Of Cappuccino - La Pavoni EUROPICCOLA/A Manual De Instrucciones

English
- To obtain a uniform delivery of coffee, the pressure
exerted on the lever will have to be proportional
to the resistance met by the lever itself during the
delivery.
- Repeat the same operations depending on the
desired number of cups of coffee.
- When you have to make the first cup of coffee,
once the machine is ready, we suggest to lift
the lever (1) halfway up and then pull it down
again for four or five times, so as to allow the
unit (11), the filter-holder (10) and the filter
basket (16) to heat up; doing this you are
sure that the first cup of coffee will be at the
proper temperature and with a good cream,
picture L.
Warning: before pouring out one or
several cups of coffee, make sure that
the level of the water in the boiler does
not fall below the minimum level.
- After having prepared the coffee, leave the
lever (1) facing down (resting position) so that
the water left in the boiler does not leak out of
the unit (11), and switch the machine off.
- It is very normal the occasionally water drip
after coffee delivery.
Warning: after the pouring out of each
cup of coffee do not remove the filter-
holder immediately but wait a few
seconds, so that no residual pressure
is left between the filter basket and
the perforated filter plate; this pres-
sure may cause the rubber gasket of
the unit to come off, or squirts of liquid
mixed with coffee powder contained in
the filter basket.
The filter-holder (10) should be remo-
ved from the unit (11) slowly, moving
from left to right, exerting a light pres-
sure downwards, to aid the release of
any residual pressure and avoid pos-
sible burns.

10 – PREPARATION OF CAPPUCCINO
The replacement of the traditional steam pipe (12) with the Cappuccino Automatic (17) (an optional part
on the models with black base) must take place before starting the machine.

- After having checked that the right quantity of water is
contained in the boiler and having followed all the required
steps to reach the correct pressure, make sure that the lever
(1) is facing down (resting position) and leave it in this
position.
- Before heating any drink, carefully allow a small amount
of steam to be delivered from the pipe (12)
on the handwheel of the steam tap (4) anticlockwise, so
as to eliminate any condensation that may form inside the
boiler; subsequently open the steam tap further, to allow
the desired amount of steam to come out, picture M. Once
this operation is completed, close the steam tap knob
clockwise.
- To obtain a great amount of steam, the level of the water
in the boiler should be about halfway the level glass (5).
The advice is to carry out steam for two minutes maxi-
mum, to obtain a better performance of the steam supply.
Warning: the temperature of the steam delivers
at around 100° C; carry out this operation with
great care, to avoid possible scalds.
The operations to be carried out are the following:
- Make sure that the steam tap knob (4) is closed, picture
B.
- Turn the steam pipe (12) clockwise until it stops and slip the
steam pipe out of its seat, pulling it rightwards, picture N.
- Slip in its seat the device with the Cappuccino Automatic
(17), pushing it leftwards, picture O. Turn the device with
the Cappuccino Automatic (17) anticlockwise until it stops.
