the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device is pointed in the correct direction so as not to hit peo-
ple or things with the steam jet.
The steam jet shuts off automatically as the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device is brought back into its
original position by pushing it with the coffee pot (Fig. 10).
- Once steam dispensing has finished, move the power lever (7) back to the upright position (Fig. 7)
and, using a sponge, clean all residues of the liquid heated from the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device.
- If the steam pressure should be insufficient for frothing the milk, fill the boiler again following the
procedures described in the paragraph "Successive use".
For the best results, we recommend that you prepare the coffee before frothing the milk.
If the coffee has not already been prepared:
- Fill the boiler tank (as explained in the section entitled "Making coffee") and move the power lever
(7) to the pre-heat position (Fig. 5). The indicator light (8) will switch on.
- When the front indicator light switches off, indicating that that temperature inside the boiler tank has
reached the optimum level, the appliance will emit a sound signal. Then place the container of milk
to be foamed (or liquid to be heated) under the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device (3) and press the steam
button (4) until the liquid is heated or foamed as required (Fig. 11). To make this operation easier,
position the device in the fixed position with the help of the container itself, rotating the device (3)
forward as shown in Fig. 9. During steam dispensing the sound signal may go on and-
off indicating that the boiler is maintaining its temperature.
WARNING: Before pressing the steam button to dispense a jet of steam, make sure that
the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device is pointed in the correct direction so as not to hit peo-
ple or things with the steam jet.
- To stop the jet of steam, release the button (4) or bring the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device back to its
original position by rotating it back as shown in Fig. 10.
- Return the lever to its upright position (Fig. 7), and using a sponge, clean all residues of the heat-
ed liquid from the MAXI CAPPUCCINO device.
WARNING: While dispensing steam, always take care never to place your hands beneath the MAXI
CAPPUCCINO device, which issues a hot jet of steam. Risk of scalding.
- After dispensing steam, water residues may continue to come out from the MAXI CAPPUCCINO
device (3). To avoid wetting the surface on which the appliance stands, open the drip tray (17), by
pressing your finger on its right-hand side (Fig. 12).
REGULAR CLEANING
WARNING: All cleaning operations described here must only be performed when the appliance is
unplugged form the mains power.
Cleaning the Thermocream® coffee filter (12)
Make sure that both the internal holes and the single coffee dispenser hole are not clogged, if neces-
sary, clean them with a small brush.
For perfect filter cleaning, it is advised that you periodically use purpose made COFFEE CLEAN deter-
gent pellets available at Authorised Ariete Assistance Centres, following the instructions on the pack-
age.
