Cleaning the cappuccino nozzle
Clean the steam tube (with the cappuccino noz-
zle) of milk immediately after use, as dried milk
can be difficult to remove.
Remember: You do this by turning the
steam control knob counter-clockwise.
IMPORTANT: Always clean the milk frother and
steam nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as
follows:
• By turning the steam knob (fig. 15), allow a
little steam to come out for a few seconds.
• Check that the 3 holes shown in fig. 16 are not
blocked. If necessary, clean them with the help
of a pin.
• Wash the cappuccino maker and steam noz-
zle thoroughly with warm water.
• Re-attach the cappuccino maker.
HINTS
Making good espresso and cappuccino is not
difficult, however it does require practice. The
following tips will help you get the best results
from your machine:
•Warm the cups before filling with coffee.
• Use a dedicated espresso coffee for best
results. They are now widely available from
supermarkets.
• Freshly ground coffee provides the best fla-
vor. To maintain flavor, fresh coffee is best
stored in an airtight container in a cool
place, even in the fridge.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1.
Do not use solvents or detergents in cleaning the
coffee maker. Use a soft, damp cloth.
2.Clean the filter-holder, filter and drip tray reg-
ularly.
ATTENTION: During cleaning, never immerse
the unit in water – it is an electrical appliance.
CLEANING THE FILTER HOLDER
About every 300 coffees, clean the filter holder
for ground coffee as follows:
• Remove the filter
• Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash
in a dishwasher.
• Rinse all components and clean the metal filter
thoroughly in hot water using a brush (fig. 17).
Make sure the holes in the metal filter are not
blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin (fig. 18).
