B Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C If a long extension cord is used: 1 the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. 2 if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and 3 the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top portable top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Preparation: 1. Remove the water tank cover (22) and fill with cold water to the MAX line indicated on tank (26). See FIG. 2. N.B.: Near the word MAX on the tank there is the overflowing safety hole (27) in case of tank overfilling. The water tank can also be removed, after removing the tank cover (22) using the handle. Re-install tank with water and cover (22). 2. Insert plug (19) into a suitable wall outlet (see point 1 under “Caution”). 3. Push the main switch (1). The temperature light (7) will flash until the temperature is reached; when the temperature is reached the light will remain on. The lights of buttons 2 - 3 - 4 - 6 will remain on in a fixed way. Starting up This procedure fills the water boiler with fresh water. This should be done whenever the machine is switched on. This machine, featuring a pump to brew coffee, is equipped with a self-priming system. Put an empty cup below the steam frother (8), turn the steam knob (25) clockwise and press the hot water supply button (4). You will hear the noise of the enabled pump and after a few seconds water will come down from steam rod (8). When the cup is filled press the hot water supply button (4) again and close the steam knob (25). The Gaggia machine is now ready to be used. • 9 • ENGLISH ENGLISH NOTE: The temperature ready-light (7) will automatically flash as the machine boiler heats. After switching on the machine for the first coffee, wait 6 minutes until the machine has fully heated up, while for all subsequent coffees the machine will be ready to use. Another feature of the machine is the “no-drip system”, eliminating most of dripping from brewing head (14). After coffee brewing, however, a little dripping may occur due to wet coffee grinds in the filter- holder. Caution: Never operate pump without water in machine as damage to the pump may occur.Damage of pump run without water is not covered by warranty. Important to know…… 1. The taste of your coffee depends on the characteristics of the beans from which it is made, the type of bean, where it was grown and processed. The coffee beans that are roasted for a longer period of time and at higher temperatures will be much darker in colour.Darker beans will produce a richer cup of coffee than the lightly-roasted beans. 2. A variety of dark roasts are available from which you can choose to brew your espresso. Each of these roasts is a blend of coffee beans that are roasted at a specific temperature producing a specific type of flavour. There are decaffeinated beans that have up to 98% of the caffeine content removed. The next time you purchase coffee for your espresso maker, experiment with one of the many kinds of coffee being sold. You may just find that it tastes better than the blend you have been using. 3. A fine “espresso grind” for pump-driven machines must be used. Be sure to ask for this when buying coffee or when having beans ground. Do not use a blade-type grinder because it makes too much coffee dust and produces an irregular grind. 4. The mark of real espresso is its dark color, rich taste and the light brown, natural froth called “crema” in Italian. 5. Cappuccino is simply a combination of espresso and hot, frothy milk.Cappuccino is usually topped with cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa powder. 6. Espresso Coffee should be served immediately after it is made. 7. Espresso is served in 2 to 2 . oz. demitasse cups. A 4 or 6 oz. cup or glass is used for cappuccino 8. Ideally, coffee beans should be ground immediately before using. Remember, it must be an “espresso grind” for pump-driven espresso machines. 9. It’s best to store ground coffee or beans in an airtight container in the freezer of your refrigerator. Ground coffee tends to absorb food odours.
