[. . . ] In order to make sure that no vapor pressure is left from the previous brewing operation, place a recipient filled with cold water under the vapor jet. remove the filter holder and the boiler's lid only if all the vapor has been let out. Turn the boiler lid to the left to screw it off; Turn the boiler lid to the right to screw it on. Make sure that the boiler lid and the filter holder are properly and securely closed while using the machine since this machine is pressurized when operating. [. . . ] Once the brewing is over, switch the appliance off by pressing the "espresso/cappuccino" key. Before removing the filter holder for cleaning, make sure that there is no longer any pressure in the water container (see the section Warning ­ Pressure).

In order to avoid burns, hold the filter in place with the special level on the handle. Before making other coffees, make sure that the water container is empty and no longer under pressure (see the section Warning ­ Pressure). To make a cappuccino, proceed first in the same way for the making of an espresso. As soon as half of the desired quantity of espresso has flowed out, turn the espresso strength selector clockwise. Now the water container has enough pressure and steam to froth the milk. Dip the steam nozzle with frothing accessory halfway into the container with the milk. Do not boil the milk (the milk boils when large bubbles start to surface on the milk surface). Turn the espresso strength selector counter-clockwise again to the desired level and complete the espresso brewing. In Italy usually 1 part of espresso is mixed with 2 parts of milk plus froth. If you wish to heat only the milk, fill the glass pot up to the "steam" mark. Make sure that espresso strength selector is closed (all the way to right). Place a cup under the steam nozzle to collect any water that may drip. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for preparing a cappuccino and switch off the appliance when you have finished.
