the water tank make sure the ON/OFF switch
is in the OFF position.
3 Carefully close the boiler cap by turning it
clockwise.
4 Insert the filter into the filter-holder. (fig. 3).
5Place the coffee evenly into the filter (fig. 4)
according to the amounts shown in the fol-
lowing table. It is important to use medium
ground coffee. (Avoid using too finely ground
coffee otherwise the filter could become
blocked, MOKA coffee is suitable).
6 Remove excess coffee from the filter-rim (fig. 4).
7 To attach the filter holder to the machine
place the bowl under the heater-faucet (fig.
5) and line up with the arrow marked on the
machine lid (fig. 6). At this point press the fil-
ter-holder upwards while at the same time
rotating it to the right all the way. It does not
matter if the filter-holder’s handle is not cen-
trally aligned with the machine. It is impor-
tant that the bowl be firmy set in its housing.
8 The carafe with lid must be positioned under
the filter-holder so that the 2 holes under the
filter-holder are inside the opening on the
carafe’s lid (fig. 7).
Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.
9Set the coffee selector (
L) to the type of coffee
required: “LIGHT” for a weak coffee,
“MEDIUM” for a normal coffee, “STRONG”
for a strong coffee (fig. 8).
10 Check that the steam knob is turned off firmly
and press the ON/OFF switch (fig. 9). The
pilot light will come on.
11 About three minutes are required before the
coffee begins to be dispensed. Wait until all
the water of the boiler has been dispensed.
Turn off the power switch after the coffee has
been dispensed.

Before unscrewing the boiler cap or
removing the filter-holder, residual
pressure must be released by slowly
turning the steam knob (fig. 10) so that
the residual steam can escape.
In models with the “safety cap”
, it is
not possible to open the boiler cap when the
boiler is hot as the cap turns without
unscrewing. If it has to be removed for any
reason, it is always necessary to let off steam
from the boiler using the steam knob as
described immediately above.
13 To remove coffee grounds from the filter-hol-
der, turn upside down and knock it repea-
tedly until all grounds have been removed
(fig. 11), or rinse the filter holder unit under
running water and let drip dry.
NOTE To eliminate the “new” smell, the first
time you use the coffee machine, carry out a
number of coffee cycles without using coffee.
CUP ADAPTOR ASSEMBLY
The adaptor (M) must be used every time the cof-
fee is required to be made directly in the cup.
For it to be assembled, it only needs to be inser-
ted in the lower part of the filter-holder (fig. 12).
PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS
1 Prepare the coffee as described in points 1 to
10 of the paragraph “PREPARING THE COF-
FEE”, using the amount of water necessary to
obtain 2 cappuccinos as shown in the table
at the end of the text. Note that more water
is needed to make 2 cappuccinos than to
make 2 normal coffees as steam is required
in order to emulsify the milk. It is advisable to
set the coffee selector (
L) to “MEDIUM”.
2 Let the coffe drip into the carafe until it rea-
ches number 2 marked on the side as shown
in fig. 13, before setting the coffee selector
to “4 CAPPUCCINO”.
WARNING: the level of the coffee
which lies under the cream must
reach the bottom of number 2 (see
fig. 13). This procedure must be car-
ried out with great care: if the coffee
level exceeds number 2 there will
not be enough steam left at the end
to froth the milk.
3 Pour the coffee into 2 cups.
4 Pour approx. 200 grams of milk into the carafe
(to make it easier, use the carafe by the measu-
re as shown in the figure at the end of the text).
Only fresh milk should be used, not
boiled milk and especially not hot
milk. Then pour the milk into a carafe. The
carafe must be large enough to allow the milk
to expand by about 3 times its volume.
5 Place the carafe under the steam nozzle (fig.
14) so as the steam nozzle is just on the sur-
face of the milk and open slowly the steam
