1.0 Safety instructions

Children do not understand how dan-

gerous electrical appliances can be.

For that reason, children should never

be allowed around electrical applian-

ces without supervision.

Do not use the appliance without stu-

dying the user manual or being shown

how to operate it.

Never use an appliance with a faulty

cord. Since special tools are needed

to replace a damaged cord, this work

must be carried by a manufacturer-

designated repair station.

Do not immerse the appliance in

water. Do not use the appliance with

wet hands.

Do not remove the filter holder while

the coffee is pouring. As the appliance

is under pressure, wait until the coffee

has stopped pouring.

The socket to which the appliance is

connected must be earthed. For your

safety, we recommend the use of an

FI safety adapter (available from all

good electricians).

Place the appliance on a firm, level

surface. The surface must not be

warm or hot. Choose a position which

is out of reach of children or pets.

Be careful when touching the steam

nozzle and filter holder as they beco-

me hot when the appliance is in ope-

ration (DANGER OF SCALDING!).

SOLIS CREMA SL 90 User’s manual

Be sure to remove the plug before

cleaning the appliance. Do not allow

the cord to come into contact with hot

parts of the appliance.

Do not expose the appliance to clima-

tic conditions (rain, snow, frost, etc).

When you unpack the appliance, plea-

se check that the voltage indicated on

the plate on the base of the appliance

is the same as your own main supply.

SERVICE

3.4 Vent the appliance. To do this,

place a large container under the hot

water/steam jet and turn the rotary

switch until a steady stream of water

comes out of the nozzle. Let it run

until about 2 dl of water has been

collected and then turn the rotary

switch off again. The appliance has

now been vented.

3.5 Rinse the appliance out. To do

this, fit the empty filter holder and

place a cup underneath. Turn the cof-

fee switch on until the cup is full.

Turn the switch off again. The appli-

ance has now been rinsed out.

Note: If the coffee temperature light

remains red when the appliance is first

heated, no water can flow through the

filter holder. The appliance can only be

rinsed out when the green light comes

on. When the appliance has heated

up, the temperature light may change

from green to red. This is perfectly

normal and has no effect on the quali-

ty of the coffee.

3.6 The appliance is ready to ope-

rate when the temperature light

shows green. We recommend lea-

ving the empty filter holder in place

while the appliance is heating up so

that it is pre-warmed.

3.0 Starting up

3.1 Fill the water container with

cold water up to a maximum of 3 lit-

ers. Insert it into the rear of the appli-

ance and press home firmly so that

the base valve opens. Close the cover.

Note: Use only fresh cold water to fill

the container. Do not use mineral

water, milk or any other fluid.

3.2 Pull the required length of

cord out from the back of the

appliance. Leave the rest in the spe-

cial cable compartment. Connect the

appliance to an earthed socket.

3.3 Turn the main switch to ON.

The appliance must now be vented

and rinsed out.

Note: The best time to remove air

from the appliance is when it is cold.

For this reason, start the venting ope-

ration as quickly as possible after

switching on.

SOLIS CREMA SL 90 User’s manual

IMPORTANT: Never operate the

appliance without water. For reasons

of hygiene, we would recommend you

to vent and rinse out the appliance

before it is used for the first time or

after any long period of non-use (e.g.

after the holidays).

4.0 Making coffee with ground

coffee

It is assumed that the appliance has

been started up in accordance with

Point 3 and is ready to operate, i.e.

the container has been filled with

water and the temperature light is

showing green.

4.1 When the appliance is ready, fit

the appropriate filter (one-cup or

two-cup) into the filter holder.

Depending on the filter size, fill with

one or two level measuring spoons of

coffee and press down lightly with the

built-in tamper . Wipe the edge of the

filter holder to remove any coffee

grains.

4.2 Insert the filter holder into the

brewing unit by moving from left

to right and close tightly. Check that

the filter holder is fully tightened.

adjusted to take small espresso cups

simply by turning it round.

4.4 To start pouring, briefly press

the coffee switch or

Note: The SOLIS CREMA model SL 90

is fitted with an automatic pre-brew

device. The coffee is first moistened

The real brewing process begins only

from this point.

User’s manual

4.5 As soon as your cup is full,

briefly press the key or .This

will stop the pouring.

grammed to deliver a preset quantity of

water for both one or two cups. See

the programming section.

You can stop pouring at any time simp-

ly by pressing the switch / .

4.6 Now remove the filter holder

from the brewing unit by moving it

from right to left. Holding the filter

firmly with the filter holder, knock out

the grounds.

Note: You can use a special SOLIS tray

for your grounds (see Section 14.0,

recommended accessories).

Rinse the filter under running water and

replace the filter holder in the brewing

unit. Once the filter has been refilled,

the next cup of coffee can be prepared.

5.0 Making coffee with portions

It is assumed that the appliance has

been started up in accordance with

Point 3 and is ready to operate, i.e.

the container has been filled with

water and the temperature light is

showing green.

5.1The procedure is just the same

as for ground coffee, except that

the following points must be obser-

ved.

Please prepare SOLIS coffee portions

(see adjacent illustration and section

14.0 «Recommended accessories»)

with the special portion-filter insert

only, and do not use the 1 or 2 cup fil-

ter. The portion filter is specially desi-

gned for the «hard» portion bags.

«Soft» SOLIS portions or other brand

name portions should be prepared in

the 1 or 2 cup filter as recommended

by the coffee producer.

SOLIS CREMA SL 90 User’s manual

Note: If the coffee comes out of the

sides of the filter holder, the portion is

either too big for the filter insert or the

filter holder has not been properly ins-

erted.

As all SOLIS CREMA espresso machi-

nes are fitted with both portion inserts

and one-cup and two-cup filters, you

will have no problem in using any ordi-

nary filter-paper portions, provided

that you take note of the points listed

above. However, please be sure to fol-

low the coffee manufacturer’s instruc-

tions.

6.0 Making hot water

For tea, broth, etc.

It is assumed that the appliance has

been started up in accordance with

Point 3 and is ready to operate, i.e.

the container has been filled with

water and the temperature light is

showing green.

6.1 When the appliance is ready,

place your glass or cup directly

under the hot water/steam nozzle

and turn the rotary switch on. The hot

water now runs automatically.

6.2 After pouring the water requi-

red, turn the rotary switch off.

7.0 Making steam

For heating milk and for cappuccino or

other drinks. It is assumed that the

appliance has been started up in

accordance with Point 3 and is ready

to operate, i.e. the container has been

filled with water and the temperature

light is showing green.

7.1 When the appliance is ready,

press the steam switch and wait

until the temperature light shows

green.

7.2 Turn the rotary switch slightly,

allowing the condensed water to run

out into the drip tray. Next, swing the

steam jet out and immerse it in the

liquid to be heated. Slowly open the

rotary switch and heat the liquid by

making circular movements from bot-

tom to top.

SOLIS CREMA SL 90

User’s manual

8.0 Programming

The SOLIS CREMA SL 90 is fitted with

a device for programming the water

quantity for both one or two cups. This

allows you to pre-programme six diffe-

rent quantities with automatic swit-

ching off.

8.1 Programming the quantity of

water. You can select various quanti-

ties by pressing the programming key

to obtain numbers from 0 to 6. The

quantities are set as follows:

Pos. 0 water quantity restricted

only by the amount in the

container. Control is by tur-

ning the coffee switch on

and off.

Pos. 1 water quantity 0.4 dl

ristretto

Pos. 2 water quantity 0.62 dl

espresso

Pos. 3 water quantity 0.95 dl

Pos. 4 water quantity 1.25 dl

café crème

Pos. 5 water quantity 1.7 dl

large cup

Pos. 6 water quantity 2.1 dl

7.3 When no more steam is nee-

ded, turn the rotary switch off

again. Swing the steam nozzle back to

the cup tray or leave in an empty con-

tainer. Turn off the steam switch .

7.4 When the steam switch is off,

turn the rotary switch on again and

allow the appliance to vent/cool down

until water emerges from the jet in a

steady stream and the green tempera-

ture light is no longer blinking. Then,

turn the rotary switch off again.

The appliance is now ready to make

coffee again.

IMPORTANT: After steam has been

used, the appliance must be vented

and allowed to cool (see also under

Point 3.4). Coffee cannot be prepared

until this has been done. The steam

nozzle can become very hot. To prevent

scalding, avoid direct contact with the

skin.

Note: We recommend that you clean

the steam nozzle immediately after use.

Otherwise, milk can leave residues

which are difficult to remove.

SOLIS CREMA SL 90 User’s manual

The amount selected is displayed

automatically by LED numbers. They

remain programmed even if the appli-

ance is switched off. Pressing the

coffee key automatically doubles

the quantity to give two cups.

Note: You can stop pouring at any

time by briefly pressing the coffee key

or .

9.0 Pre-heating the cups

Apart from the type of blend and the

quality of the water, the most impor-

tant factor in making a good cup of

coffee is getting the right temperature.

9.1 The SL 90 is fitted with an

actively heated warming plate

When necessary, switch the plate on,

using the key and place the espres-

so cups on top. In this way, they are

always warm when needed. To save

electricity, switch the plate off when it

is not needed.

9.2 If you need to heat cups

quickly, you can rinse them out with

hot water from the hot water nozzle.

SOLIS CREMA SL 90

User’s manual

10.0 Care and cleaning

If you always keep your SOLIS CREMA

machine clean, you will be sure of

good quality coffee and will extend the

useful life of the appliance.

10.1 Daily and weekly care

Regularly clean the water container,

the drip tray, the cup tray, the filter

holder and the filter inserts. Simply

use hot water and, when necessary, a

non-scouring detergent.

DO NOT place in the dishwasher!

Brewing unit: Remove coffee resi-

dues regularly and wipe with a clean

damp cloth. We recommend you to let

about half a litre of hot water run

through from time to time, as this

keeps the brewing unit clear of fat

residues.
