16. Scoop out the foam from the glass pot into the cup/s with espresso coffee. Add

some milk. A cappuccino is 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk.
17. In order to make sure that no vapor is left in the machine, place a recipient with
cold water under the vapor jet and dip the vapor jet into the water. Turn the con-
trol knob to the vapor jet position. The remaining vapor is released if the vapor
jet starts to bubble.
Important: the pressure of the machine must be released each time before
brewing. As soon as the bubbling stops, pressure has been completely redu-
ced. Turn the control knob to the OFF position. Wait a few seconds after the
brewing before removing the filter holder. Remove the remaining ground coffee.
Clean the machine as described in „Cleaning and Maintenance".
• The use of filtered water or bottled water is highly recommended to enhance
the taste of the espresso and to avoid the calcification of the machine. Distilled
water must not be used, as it is dull and tasteless.
• The secret for frothing the milk is the right technique, which can be acquired
only with practice.
• If the brewing time of the coffee is longer than usual (i.e. if it takes too long for
the coffee to flow out of the brewing head), then it is likely that the coffee is too
fine, that too little coffee has been used or that the coffee was not pressed
enough.
• If there is a significant increase in the brewing time and/or frequent clogging of
the vapor jet occurs, the machine is calcified. Fill the boiler with a citric acid-
based decalcifying agent (see dosing instructions provided by the manufactu-
rer). Follow the instructions provided above in „How to make an espresso". Do
not fill the filter bowl with coffee! After this operation carry out 2-3 brewing
cycles with clear water.
• Follow carefully the safety instructions before cleaning the machine.
• Remove the plug and let the machine cool.
• Use a citric acid-based decalcifying agent for decalcifying.
• Wipe the machine with a clean humid towel.
• Do not use detergents.
• Wash the filter shell, the filter holder, the glass pot, the pot lid, the boiler cap
and the drip collection grid in a sink as usual.
• Do not wash any of the parts in the dishwasher.
• In order to clean the vapor jet let the vapor out for approximately three seconds
after removing it from the milk. Turn the control knob to the OFF position and
wipe the vapor jet with a clean humid towel. Attention: the metal vapor jet is hot!
• Lubricate the boiler opening and the filter holder with vegetable oil from time to
time.
