E.S.E.
The X1 expresso machine uses
the EASY SERVING ESPRESSO (E.S.E.) system: for it to operate
properly it is necessary to use the E.S.E. servings, which
are easily recognizable from the brand name printed on
the packets, the same one that is shown on the espresso
machines. The E.S.E. system guarantees a series of benefits:
the quality of the espresso coffee always remains constant,
irrespective of the consumer's skill in making it. It
is easy to use and very fast, and the system is extremely
easy to clean.
It is very important that
you keep the E.S.E. servings in a closed container in
a dry, well-aired environment.
INSTRUCTION
MANUAL
General Rules for
Using the Machine
The machine must be kept
clean by frequently rinsing the drawer (12), the filter-holder
(13) and the tank (10).
VERY IMPORTANT: never immerse
the machine in water or put it in a dishwasher.
The water contained in the
tank (10) must be regularly changed. After changing the
water, check that the intake pipe (15) is positioned inside
the tank (10).
It is recommended that every
three months you use a mixture specially designed for
espresso machines to remove limescale. To enjoy a perfect
espresso, you are advised to keep the cups warm using
the cup-warmer (1) incorporated in the machine.
Operating
the Machine
Installation
A) Check that the voltage
of the supply current is correct by looking on the plate
(16): if so, connect the machine to the socket.
B) Half-fill the tank with
cold water (10), ensuring that the intake pipe (15) is
immersed in the water. Place a recipient under the filter-holder
(8).
Turn on the general switch
(4) and make the water circulate around the internal circuit
by turning on the coffee switch (3).
C) Fill the tank again (10),
checking that the intake pipe (15) is immersed in the
water.
How to obtain the
first coffee after installing (or turning off) the machine
To make sure the machine
is in the ideal condition to make a perfect espresso,
follow the instructions below:
D) Turn on the main switch
(4) and make sure the starting pilot light (5) is on:
if the temperature of the machine is not sufficiently
high, the temperature pilot light (6) will come on.
Place the filter-holder (13)
in its housing. Wait for the temperature pilot light (6)
to go off. Place a cup under the filter-holder (13) and
turn on the coffee switch (3). Allow the hot water to
come out. Empty the hot water from the cup.
At this point the
machine and the cup are ready for a perfect espresso.
E) Take out an E.S.E. serving
and place it in the filter-holder (13) with the printed
side facing downwards.
F) Place the filter-holder
(13) in its housing, rotating until it is firmly fitted
making a good seal.
G) Make the coffee by turning
on the switch (3): once you have the desired quantity
of coffee (extra strong or mild), turn off the switch
(3).
H) Remove the filter-holder
(13) from its housing, by repeating the operation described
in point F) in reverse. Dispose of the used E.S.E serving.
Subsequent preparation
of other coffees
I) If the machine is on,
always wait for the temperature pilot light to go off
(6) before making another espresso.
J) To make other coffees,
repeat operations E to H.
How to obtain steam
(making a cappuccino)
K) Ensure that there is no
serving in the filterholder. With the steam valve (7)
in a closed position, turn on the steam switch (2). If
the temperature pilot light (6) was not already on, this
operation will make it come on. After about 10 seconds,
or, when the pilot light (6) has gone out, turn off the
steam switch (2).
L) Half-open the steam valve
(7) by turning anti-clockwise and wait for the water to
come out. When steam begins to come out, close the valve
(7).
M) Turn the steam switch
on again (2).
Place a recipient with the
milk under the steam-cappuccino pipe (9) so that part
of it is immersed. Then open the steam valve (1) to obtain
the steam.
A special hole at the top
of the nozzle makes it possible for a small amount of
milk to be absorbed, and this is thus transformed into
foam for cappuccino. If this does not occur, alter the
level of the milk until the desired result is obtained.
It is preferable to use very cold milk. If you note a
reduction in the supply of steam, close the steam valve
(7) and turn on the coffee switch (3) until water comes
out of the filter-holder (8).
Then repeat steps K and L.
It is very important
to turn the steam switch off when you have finished steaming
the milk.
N) It is very important to
avoid making an espresso immediately after the steam is
supplied, as the machine is still too hot. To reduce the
temperature of the machine quickly and obtain a perfect
espresso, follow the instructions below:
- Ensure that there is no
serving in the filterholder.
- Turn on the coffee switch
(3) and put a recipient under the filter-holder
(14) enabling the hot water
to come out until the temperature pilot light comes on
(6).
- Turn off the coffee switch
(3), thus interrupting the flow of water and wait for
the temperature pilot light to go off: the machine is
now again ready to make another espresso.
