COFFEE PREPARATION

Foreword: the X1 machine has been designed to provide the best coffee using an Illy E.S.E. coffee pod as shown in figure 7.
If a different serving is used, remove the excess paper, leaving a 5 mm border around the coffee pod; otherwise technical inconveniences may arise and
water may leak from the extraction group.
Make sure that the machine ready light (E) comes on and switch (C) is in coffee position (up) (fig. 8).
Remove filter-holder (G), place the serving in the centre of the filter-holder (fig. 9), fit filter-holder in the brewhead and turn to the right until it is aligned
with the type of coffee required.
In fact, the machine is fitted with the innovative extraction group >TRIO that allows a mild coffee (fig.10A), normal coffee (fig.10B) or extra-strong
coffee (fig. 10C) to be prepared in the best possible way, depending on how the filter-holder is positioned.
Flip switch (B) downwards and once you have the required amount of coffee flip switch (B) back in up position.
When the operation has been completed, remove the filter-holder and then the used serving by turning the filter-holder upside down and tapping the edge
on the rubber used serving dump (fig. 11).
To prepare other coffees, repeat the entire sequence.
Before switching off the machine or after each use, empty the filter-holder, put it back in the brewhead and flush it with hot water so as to remove any
residues.
Caution: Should you forget to switch the water off, the machine will automatically switch the pump off after about two minutes and an acoustic signal will
come on every second; to reset operation, simply flip coffee switch (B) upwards.
Do not used distilled or demineralised water to prepare coffee.
Caution: If the machine has been on for several hours without any coffee having been prepared, you may notice a few problems in getting it restarted
(button B). Simply open the steam knob (I) for a few seconds, after having pressed the coffee button (B), and the machine will restore its normal
operation.
STEAM GENERATION TO MAKE A CAPPUCCINO
To make a cappuccino, after having prepared the coffee, pour some cold milk into a metal recipient and follow the instructions below.
Make sure that the filter-holder has no serving in it.
Flip switch (C) to steam position; the machine ready light (E) will switch off and the thermometer temperature indicator (F) will start to go up (fig. 12).
When the machine is ready, a short acoustic sound will be given and the green light will come on again; turn the steam knob (I) anti-clockwise, allow the
residual water to flow out of the pipe until steam is released, then close the steam valve.
Place the milk recipient under the steam wand (J) (fig.13) and turn the steam knob (I) anti-clockwise.
The small hole (K) on the steam wand will take in the necessary amount of air to create a froth for the cappuccino; therefore make sure that it is not covered
by the milk.
Once the desired amount of froth has been achieved, close the steam valve and flip switch (C) upwards (fig.14)
Pour the milk and froth in the cup containing the coffee (fig. 15).
Clean the cappuccino spout (K) from all milk residues (fig. 16) avoiding direct contact with the hands at all times.
CAUTION: Contact with the wand (J) may cause serious burns.
COFFEE PREPARATION AFTER STEAM DISPENSING
It is very important to avoid making an espresso immediately after steam has been dispensed, as the machine is still too hot and this could compromise the
flavour.
Flip selector switch (C) from steam position (down) to coffee position (up); the light (E) goes off for a few minutes giving the machine a little time to cool
down; when the boiler has reached a suitable temperature, the light comes on again and coffee can be prepared once again.
If you wish to reduce the temperature of the machine quickly and obtain a perfect espresso, follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure that the empty filter-holder is inserted in the brewhead and switch (C) is in coffee position (up). (fig.14)
2. Turn on coffee switch (B), so that the water flows into a recipient until a brief acoustic signal is given and the green light comes on again. (fig. 17)
3. The boiler has again reached a suitable temperature to prepare an espresso coffee.
CAUTION: If switch (C) is in steam position (down), coffee switch (B) does not work. (fig. 18)

HOT WATER DISPENSING

Hot water is dispensed through the steam wand (J).
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that coffee switch (B) and steam switch (C) are in up position and the machine ready light (E) is on
2. Place a recipient under the steam wand
3. Turn the steam knob (I) anti-clockwise and flip the water/coffee switch (B) downwards(fig. 19)
4. Dispense the required amount of hot water
5. Flip water/coffee switch (B) upwards and turn steam knob (I) clockwise (fig. 20).
