• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and turn the power on.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5)
with cold water and start the appliance (6).
• Put the filter handle and an empty filter in
place (7) (8) (9), and place cups
underneath the filter handle.
• As soon as the ‘Warm-Up’ light turns ‘Off’,
this indicates that the Café Ristretto ™ is
ready to be used.
Tip: Remember that if the ‘Warm-Up’ light
is ‘On’ it means the espresso machine is

then you can start using the espresso
machine.

• When the cups are full of hot water, press
the button again to stop the water flow.
Note: Once the appliance has been on for a
while, the coffee cups can be warmed by
