PRELIMINARy PHASES FOR USE
Starting the appliance
Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as that indicated on the technical information plate of the appliance. Place the appliance on a flat surface.
Before using the appliance for the first time wash the tank. Fill it up with fresh cool water and insert it in its housing (Fig.
4). Insert the plug into the socket, which must be earthed.
Starting the first time
After having filled the tank with cool tap water, start the machine by pressing the button (N). Indicator lamps (O) turn on to indicate that the machine is on and that the internal boiler has started to heat up. The machine will be ready for the coffee when the indicator lamp (Q) turns on. Press the coffee dispensing switch (P) until you see water come out of the filter holder seat (Fig. 6).
If you are starting the machine for the first time or after a period of time during which it has not been used, it is recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed to pass through the boiler’s hydraulic circuit. Also open the steam tap (J) by slightly turning it anti-clockwise after having placed a container underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device wand (L) Fig. 7.
Then close the steam tap (J) by turning it clockwise, and press the coffee dispensing switch (P) to make the water stop coming out.
HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
Put the drip tray (C) and pod filter (B) inside the filter holder (D).
Place the pod in the filter ring (Fig. 8).
Push the pod towards the bottom of the filter with your fingers (Fig. 9). The pod must be well centred and placed inside the filter.
Now it is possible to put the filter holder in its seat.
Warning!
Tighten well by turning it from left to right while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 11).
f the pod is not inserted well, or if the filter holder is not tightened firmly, a few drops of water could leak from the filter holder.
It is a good idea to start dispensing the coffee only when the indicator lamp (Q) is on, and this is true for both the first cup and those that follow.
To start dispensing, press the switch (P): the coffee will start coming out of the spouts of the filter holder. Press the switch
(P) again to stop it.
The maximum serving of coffee is 50 ml.
Warning!
Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter holder when the dispensing switch (O) is on; danger of burns!
Warning!
Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the filter holder. To remove it, turn it slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.
The pod could remain stuck in the upper part of the machine after making the coffee and when removing filter holder. To remove it, tilt the filter holder (Fig. 14) so the pod can fall onto it.
When the machine is in stand-by, the lamp (Q) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is trip -
5
ping, which serves to keep the water temperature optimum.
If small puffs of steam come out of the filter holder coupling seat, this phenomenon is to be considered absolutely normal.
This machine is specifically designed to guarantee an excellent espresso coffee using Kimbo pods.
It is advisable to let the filter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the first cup is piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of coffee that follow.
Filling the water tank during use
No special operation is necessary when the water in the tank runs out as the machine is equipped with a special self-priming device. Just unplug the machine, pull out the tank and fill it with fresh cool water again.
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
To prepare a cappuccino or hot chocolate or to heat any other beverage, press the switch (R) Fig. 15; the indicator lamp (S) turns on, ad indicare che è stata inserita la funzione vapore. When the lamp (Q) turns on, the machine is ready to generate steam.
When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs of steam from the filter holder; this is perfectly normal.
Warning!
Danger of burns! The metal cappuccino maker may reach high temperatures. Use the rubber part to move the cappuccino maker (Fig. 16).
Now open the steam tap (J) anti-clockwise, having the foresight to position a cup underneath the Maxi Cappuccino device
(L) Fig. 17: at first a little water will come out, immediately followed by a strong jet of steam.
Plunge the wand all the way into the pot of milk (Fig. 18) and open the dispensing cock (J) again until you get the result you want. During these operations you may notice that the warning light (Q) goes on and off from time to time, indicating that the boiler thermostat is keeping the water required for the steam supply at the right temperature.
It is opportune you start dispensing the steam only when this indicator lamp is off. Dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use in order to free the hole of any milk residue.
After the cappuccino is prepared, press the switch (R) to cut out the steam function.
MAKING FURTHER CUPS OF COFFEE
To prepare a cup of coffee right after making cappuccino, it is necessary to bring the boiler back to the coffee preparation temperature by performing these operations: press the steam function switch (R). You may notice that the indicator lamp
(Q) is on. This luminous indication serves to tell you that the temperature in the boiler is still high, i.e. it is still that for steam; you must therefore wait a few seconds until the lamp (Q) turns off. Wait until the lamp (Q) turns back on before dispensing the coffee.
If you want to cool down the boiler faster, place a container underneath the cappuccino maker, press switch (P) and at the same time keep the cock (J) open. Make water come out of the Maxi Cappuccino device until when the indicator lamp (Q) turns back on. Now close the cock (J) and turn the switch (P) off. Wait for the lamp (Q) to turn off before making another cup of coffee.
HOW TO MAKE TEA OR TISANES
When the machine is in the coffee-ready position, i.e. with the lamp (Q) on, place a cup underneath the spout (L) and press the coffee dispensing switch (P). Open the steam dispensing cock (I) immediately afterwards; in this way hot water will come out of the spout. The maximum quantity for two cups is 200 ml.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Warning!
All cleaning operations described below must be performed with the machine off and with the electric plug disconnected from the socket-outlet.
Warning!
Regular maintenance and cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time. Never wash machine components in the dishwasher. Do not use direct jets of water.
6
Warning!
All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.
Cleaning the filter holder.
Start dispensing with the filter holder connected and without the pod inside by pressing the button (P) after having placed a glass underneath the filter holder. In this way any coffee residue or impurities present in the filter holder will dissolve and be removed.
Cleaning the filter holder seat
With time, coffee residue may accumulate on the filter holder seat. It can be removed with a toothpick, a sponge (Fig. 19), or by letting water run through without fitting the filter holder (Fig. 6).
Cleaning the cappuccino maker
Warning!
Perform this operation when the chrome-plated pipe is cold so as to prevent burns.
Unscrew the device (L) from the small pipe and wash it with running water. The small pipe can be cleaned with a non-abra sive cloth. Screw the cappuccino maker back on as far as it will go. If necessary, clean the small steam outlet hole again with a pin. After use, always let the steam nozzle run for a few seconds so to free the outlet from any possible residue.
Cleaning the tank
Periodically clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp cloth.
Cleaning the drip tray
Remember to empty the drip tray (G) from time to time.
Remove the grill (E) Fig. 21 and wash it under running water. Remove the drip tray (G) from the machine together with the tray (F) Fig. 22. Empty them and wash them under running water.
Cleaning the machine body
Warning!
Clean the fixed parts of the machine using only a damp, non-abrasive cloth so as to not damage the body.
DECALCIFICATION
Good maintenance and regular cleaning preserve and keep the machine efficient for a longer amount of time, considerably limiting the risks of lime deposits forming inside the appliance. However, should your coffee machine fail to work properly as a result of the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may perform a decalcification procedure to restore its operational efficiency. Ariete does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for damage to components inside the coffee machine caused by the use of non-compliant products containing chemical additives. Should you need to decalcify your appliance, please follow the instructions which come with the decalcifying product.
PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE
If you want to put the machine out of service, you must disconnect it electrically, empty the water tank and drip tray and clean it (see the paragraph on “Cleaning the appliance”).
In the case of scrapping, you must separate the various materials used in making the machine and dispose of them based on their composition and on the legal provisions in force in the country of use.
