2.   Fill the milk container with a sufficient quantity of milk, 
not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig. 
19).  Each mark on the side of the container corresponds 
to 3.4 oz / 100 ml of milk. 
 Please note!
•  For a denser more even froth, you should use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 
5°C).  
•  If “Energy Saving” mode is enabled, you may have to wait
a few seconds before the first drink is delivered.
3.  Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the 
bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 20).
4.   Place the lid back on the milk container. 
5.   Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle.
6.   Attach the container to the nozzle and push as far as it 
will go (fig. 21). The machine emits a beep (if the beep 
function is enabled).
7.   Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee and frothed 
milk spouts. Adjust the length of the milk spout. To move 
it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards (fig. 22).

making drinks with milk automatically
The CAFFELATTE, CAPPUCCINO, MACCHIATO and MILK buttons 
on  the  control  panel  enable  these  drinks  to  be  prepared 
automatically. 
Proceed as follows:
1.  Fill the milk container and attach it as described above.
2.   Turn the froth adjustment dial on the milk container lid to 
the position corresponding to the required froth. 
3.   Press  the  button  corresponding  to  the  required  drink. 
The  name  of  the  drink  selected  is  displayed  together 
with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation 
progresses.
4.   After a few seconds, frothed milk is delivered from the 
milk spout into the cup below. For drinks with coffee, the 
machine automatically makes the coffee after delivering 
the milk.  
 Please note!
•  If during delivery you want to stop preparation, press the
corresponding button. 
•  At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of milk or 
coffee in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) the button 
corresponding to the drink being made. 
•  Do  not  leave  the  milk  container  out  of  the  refrigerator 
for long periods. The warmer the milk (5°C is ideal), the 
poorer the quality of froth produced.

to empty it);
2.   Place  a  cup  or  other  recipient  under  the  frothed  milk 
spout.
3.   Press the CLEAN button (fig. 23) and keep pressing until 
the progress bar which appears on the display together 
with the message “Cleaning...” is complete. 
 Please note!
•   If you are making a number of milk based drinks one after
the other, you do not need to clean by pressing the CLEAN 
button each time you make a cappuccino.  
 
Just press it once after making the last cup (the appliance 
continues  functioning  even  if  the  CLEAN  button  is  not 
pressed).
