HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
KNOW YOUR COFFEE MAKER
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
1. Make sure the coffee maker is in the
“off” position.
We recommend that you get familiar with 2. Unplug the coffee maker from the
all parts of your Coffee Maker before
operating it, with the unit unplugged.
Begin by inserting the metal filter into
the filter holder (Fig.1), fit the filter into
the brewing head, and remove and
replace the boiler cap. Try the on/off
buttons and steam controller, and check
out all the parts of the coffee maker as
well. Wash all loose parts in warm soapy
water, rinse thoroughly and dry.
wall socket.
3. Hold a pitcher with cold water
underneath the steam nozzle and
insert the nozzle into the pitcher
(Fig.4).
4. Once the steam nozzle is immersed
in the pitcher of water, turn the steam
knob in an anti clockwise direction
to open the steam nozzle. Continue
this procedure until no more steam
comes out of the steam nozzle.
5. Turn the steam control knob to the
clockwise direction to close the
steam nozzle.
To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes
excellent, you should rinse the coffee
maker with warm water as follows:
6. Now you can remove the boiler unit
cap and the filter holder.
1. Add water into the tank (Fig.2)
(for drip filter coffee) to the max
capacity and operate the appliance
per steps (1-5) of section “make drip
filter coffee” (Do not use filter coffee
powder for this first time use). Repeat
it for several times to clean the
appliance.
2. Add fresh water into the boiler
unit(Fig.3) (for espresso coffee)
to the max capacity and operate
the coffee maker per steps (1-9) of
section “make espresso coffee” and
section of “make cappuccino coffee”,
but do not add coffee powder, repeat
it several times.
Incase there is still water in the boiler
unit, remove the glass jugs and
drip tray, then turn the coffee maker
upside down to empty any remaining
water in the boiler unit.
MAKE DRIP FILTER COFFEE
1. Open the tank cover (for drip filter
coffee) and pour cold drinking water
into water tank (Fig.2) according to
the gauge. Respect the MAX level
indicator. Purified drinking water
provides a better taste and flavour of
coffee.
2. Place the permanent nylon filter into
the funnel (Fig. 5) and make sure it is
assembled correctly. If the funnel is
not inserted correctly the tank cover
can not be closed.
CAUTION – PRESSURE
It is important to remember to NEVER
3. Add ground coffee into the

permanent nylon filter with a
measuring spoon (Fig. 6). Use
one spoon (15g) of ground coffee
powder per cup. You can adjust
according to your taste.
MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
1. Turn the boiler unit cover in an anti-
clockwise direction to open the boiler
unit (see Figure A), then fill it with an
adequate amount of drinking water.
Purified drinking water provides a
better taste and flavour of coffee.
(Fig. 8 & 9)
4. Close the tank cover. Place the large
jug on the warming plate directly
under the drip filter coffee section.
(Fig. 7)
5. Plug the power cord into the wall
socket and press the switch to
the “I” position, the switch will
illuminate. The coffee maker will
begin operating. You may stop the
brewing by pressing the switch to the
“O” position at any time. The coffee
maker will continue brewing once
pressing the switch to the “I” position
again.
Note: Always switch off the power and
remove the plug from the wall
socket before filling it with water.
Ensure that the water does not
overflow out of the boiler unit.
2. Turn the boiler unit cover in a
clockwise direction to tightly close
it (see Figure A & 10), then turn the
steam control knob in a clockwise
direction to ensure that the steam
control knob is tightly closed (see
Figure B). If it is not closed, the boiler
unit will not build up pressure and
the water will flow out of the steam
nozzle.
Note: at any time, you can take out
the large jug to serve, but the time
should not exceed 20 seconds.
Otherwise, the water will overflow
out of the filter.
6. The coffee will keep warm on the
warming plate if you do not switch off
the coffee maker. The coffee maker
will automatically switch off after two
hours, as a safety feature, so that it
does not overheat.

STOP AND SERVE FUNCTION
STEAM
This automatically stops the flow of
brewed coffee through the filter if the
glass jug is removed from the warming
plate during the brewing cycle. You
have about 20 seconds between the
removal of the glass jug and it being
reinserted back onto the warming plate.
Figure B
The stop and serve closes off the filter
so effectively that there is virtually no
coffee dripping onto the warming plate.
Once the glass jug is replaced, the
brewing process and the flow of coffee
into the glass jug can resume.

MAKE CAPPUCCINO COFFEE
Cappuccino is made by adding fresh
cream or frothed milk to the cup of
espresso coffee.
1. First prepare espresso coffee
according to the steps (1-6) above
and, ensure that the steam control
knob has been turned off and turn
the brew strength control knob
to the “STEAM” position (Fig.C).
After turning the switch on “I”,
Note: to avoid any splashing, do not
detach the filter holder while brewing
coffee.
7. Once the brewing has been
completed, press the switch to the
“O” position, remove the small jug
from the drip tray and dispense
coffee into cups. Now you can enjoy
your homemade espresso coffee.
8. Before removing the filter holder,
always release the pressure in the
boiler unit by carefully turning steam
wait approximately 3 minutes
for the coffee maker to generate
enough steam to froth the milk.
Before generating steam, fill a cup
(preferably a straight walled cup)
with about 150 ml of milk (preferably
2% milk for the best results) for each
cup of cappuccino. Lift up the cup to
MW_EX2290022__Palermo_IM.indd
7
10/29/2008 12:05:32 PM
ensure the steam nozzle is immersed
in the milk, and then carefully turn
the steam control knob in an anti-
clockwise direction for it to begin
frothing milk (Fig. 17). When satisfied
with the frothed milk then turn off
the steam control knob to stop
producing steam. If there is excess
water in the boiler unit, more steam
can be generated or espresso can
be made.
maker cool down completely before
cleaning.
2. Clean the housing of coffee maker
by wiping it with a moist cloth or
sponge. Do not use alcohol or
abrasive cleaning agents as it might
cause damage to the coffee maker.
Note: Never immerse the housing in
water for cleaning.
3. Remove the filter holder, clean the
coffee residue inside, and then
you can clean it and the filter with
dishwashing liquid. Be sure to rinse
with clear water.
Note 1: Bear in mind that the milk
generally increases in volume by 1.5
times, so make sure the height of the
cup is enough.
4. Clean the glass jugs, permanent filter,
and drip tray (Fig. 19) in warm water
with some dishwashing detergent.
Note 2: to get a better effect, move the
cup constantly up and down. This
spreads the temperature throughout
the milk faster.
2. Mix espresso coffee with frothed milk
and stir, add chocolate powder if
necessary.
HOW TO DESCALE MY COFFEE
MAKER
3. It is necessary to clean the steam
nozzle once you have finished using
the coffee maker, so that the dry
milk doesn’t block the steam outlet.
In order to do this, grasp the nozzle
with your hand and secure the pipe
with your other hand. Now pull the
steam nozzle off (Fig. 18). Wash it
with warm water to clean off any milk
residue. After cleaning, reassemble it
back into its original position.
The coffee maker must be de-scaled
regularly. The frequency depends on
the hardness of your water and how
often you use the coffee maker.
Recognisable indications that de-scaling
is necessary are:
•
•
Increased noise during boiling
Longer preparation time
If usage is frequent, de-scaling should
be carried out as follows:
Caution: The steam nozzle will be hot
after steaming, so we advise
•
•
With soft water, once per year
With medium water, once every
3 months
that you allow it to cool down
before cleaning or touching it.
•
With hard water, once per month
If in doubt regarding the water
hardness in your area, you may
call your local water department.
For ecological and health
reasons, we recommend the
exclusive use of biological
materials such as citric acid,
which can be obtained from
pharmacies.
Note: to prepare more than one
cappuccino, first make all the coffees
and then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
