Afterwards, turn the foam nozzle as far as it will go to the left so that the inevitable last few drops can fall into the drip grill provided for the purpose (Fig. 13). After steam has been generated the system has to be topped up, to do this, switch the pump switch (Fig. 9/3) on, and as soon as water starts to come out of the brewing head switch the pump switch off again.

3. Cleaning sieve and sieve carrier (Fig. 15)
Knock the used espresso ground coffee out of the sieve, holding the sieve firmly to the sieve carrier by the finger protector. Then clean the sieve and the carrier under running water or with ordinary washing-up water. Note: Do not wash the sieve carrier in a dishwashing machine.

Preparing cappuccino:
Proceed as for espresso, but for cappuccino you will need a larger coffee cup, half or threequarters full of espresso, which you then fill up with foaming milk.

4. Remove the remaining water from the fresh water tank 5. Cleaning the foam nozzle (Fig. 16)
Clean the foam nozzle � especially after frothing up milk � with a damp cloth. If the foam nozzle is clogged, it can be unscrewed with a coin. Pull off the lower part of the nozzle downwards and clean the foam nozzle, make sure it is seated properly.

After making espresso/Cleaning
If you wish to make another cup of espresso, leave the appliance switched on, remove the sieve holder (see below, Point 2), clean the sieve and the holder (see below, Point 3), and then proceed as described under �Making espresso�.

6. Cleaning the drip grill and drip tray (Fig. 17)
The drip grill can be taken out for cleaning very easily with the aid of the finger-shaped depression at the front right-hand edge of the drip tray. The drip tray can be taken out for cleaning by simply lifting it forwards out of the appliance base. The drip grill and the drip tray can be cleaned in ordinary washing-up water.

1. Switch appliance off
If the appliance will not be used for some time it should be steamed out, so that fresh water is always available next time it is used. Place a container under the foam nozzle and proceed as follows: 0 Open the steam lever (Fig. 10/A) and let the system steam out. If no more steam comes out, close the steam lever again (Fig. 10/B). 0 To switch the appliance off, flip the main switch (Fig. 9/1) downwards. The pilot light (Fig. 9/2) goes out.

7. Cleaning the cup shelf (Fig. 18)
The best way to clean the cup shelf is with a damp cloth. To remove it, press it down at the rear end and pull it upwards and forwards out of its retaining rim.

2. Remove sieve carrier (Fig. 14)
You remove the sieve carrier by rotating it to the left and taking it out of its holding ring. If you are not going to use the appliance again for some time, do not re-insert the sieve carrier; this will lengthen the service life of the sieve seal.

8. Cleaning the boiling head (Fig. 19)
After it has been in use for some time, the boiling head should be cleaned with a damp cloth. If the boiling sieve is particularly dirty it can be unscrewed from the boiling head with the aid of a coin and cleaned under running water.
