[. . . ] Now the machine has reached the correct pressure and is ready to deliver coffee and steam. The pressure will be automatically regulated and maintained by the pressure switch which acts on the heating element. The alternation of the warning light (6) is normal because it means that the pressure switch adjusts automatically the pressure in the boiler. If during the operation the machine is left without water, the safety thermostat will intervene by interrupting the machine power supply. In this case the thermostat will have to be reset (see section 18 ­ Causes for Operating Failures). To obtain a good cup of coffee it's important to use a good quality coffee, well roasted and correctly grinded. The coffee espresso machine needs the use of a thin mixture grinded; if the grinding is too coarse we will obtain light and pale coffees and without cream. If the grinding is too thin we will obtain dark and strong coffees with little cream. The grinding is optimal when the espresso is black and "creamy". To obtain a good cup of coffee you should follow these rules: with the machine under pressure put the filter-basket (16), with grinded coffee, inside the filter-holder (n. 10), and together under the group; pull up the lever (1) and after few seconds the coffee starts dripping from the filter holder. We suggest to grind the coffee, with a coffee-grinder, at the moment of its use, because once grinded, it looses its fragrance in a short time. Please do not use a blade-type grinder because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an irregular grind. - Choose the correct filter (16 or 16a) and put it into the filter holder (10). Use the small filter for 1 cup (or for pods use) and the big filter for 2 cups. Wait till the machine reach the correct temperature with the filter holder fitted up. - After the heating take away the filter holder (10) and fill the filter (16 or 16a), with ground coffee using the measure of the machine (15). - Press the coffee using the coffee press (14) provided and clean the edge of the filter basket from any coffee powder left, picture G. The pod must be put into the filter taking care that the filter paper doesn't extend beyond the edge of the filter holder. - Holding the machine firm by the lever handgrip (1), insert the filter-holder (10) in the place provided in the unit (11) and fix it in place through a brief rotation from right to left, picture H. - Lift the lever (1) (with your left hand hold the filter-holder handgrip, and make sure that the machine remains firm) and hold it in this position for a few seconds; as the first drops of coffee come through, pull it down as much as possible. This operation will have to be repeated depending on the desired amount of coffee, picture I. [. . . ] 15 ­ DECALCIFICATION We recommend you to decalcify the machine depending on how often you use it and on the hardness of the water, using a specific softeners that can be found on sale. Prepare in a container a solution of water and softener and dissolve it in the water; subsequently pour the solution into the boiler (9) and close the boiler cap (3). Insert the filter-holder (5) into the unit (11) without any coffee and place the Cappuccino Automatic device (17) in its site; then switch the machine on. Place a container under the filter-holder and under the Cappuccino Automatic. [. . . ]
