3. Take the filter holder

(E), hold it under the brew head and rinse it with

water by turning the regulator knob

(K) anticlockwise to the espresso

position

(8) position to start the flow of water and turn it back into

position

0 to turn off the appliance (9).

4. Allow the filter holder to dry.
Pre-heating cups
5. Cups may be pre-heated by filling them up with hot water. Check that

the espresso machine is in the

espresso mode, that is that button

is pushed in

(M) (the on/off pilot light is illuminated (L)), and the hot

water/steam button

(B) is in the “pushed out” position

(the

standby mode light

(N) is not illuminated). Place the steam wand (C)

inside a cup. Turn the regulator knob

(K) into position to start the

flow of water from the steam wand

(C). To stop the process, set the

knob into position

0. Pour the hot water out of the cups.

Brewing coffee
6. Check if there is cold water in the tank. If there is no or little water, fill

up the tank with cold water

(1) and turn on the appliance (3).

7. Using the measure provided

(G), put finely ground coffee in the filter.

8. Using the other end (the flat end) of the measure

(G) press the coffee

down lightly making a 90 degree turn, to fill the bottom. It will tighten

the tamped coffee.

9. Remove any excess coffee so it is level with the rim of the filter

(H)

(5).

Important: Ensure there is not too much coffee in the filter (H).

Tip: Doses of coffee and the degree to which coffee is tamped should

be the same each time. The pouring time of brewed coffee depends

on the coarseness of ground coffee. The finer the coffee, the lower

the pouring speed.
Tip: Check that the flat end of the measure (G) is dry when tamping

coffee. If it is damp, coffee particles may stick together.
Warning: Too finely ground coffee may block the holes of the filter (H)

and stop the coffee flow.

10. Place the filter holder

(E) in the brew head and turn it all the way to

the right

(6)

11.

Place cups under the pouring outlets of the holder (E) (7).

Warning: Check that the espresso machine is ready to use.

Remember that if the standby pilot light

(N) flashes, it means that the

espresso machine is not ready to use yet.

12. To resume the coffee pouring process, turn the regulator knob

(K)

anticlockwise into the espresso

(8). The standby light (N) is

illuminated during this process. To stop the process, turn the regulator

knob into position

0 (9).

Tip: Perfectly brewed coffee is dark, caramel with reddish highlights.

It largely depends on the quality of coffee used. Always serve freshly

brewed, hot coffee.

After brewing
13. Turn the filter holder

(E) to the left and remove it from the brew head.

14. Empty the used coffee from the filter

(H). When emptying, hold the

filter by pressing the filter lock

(F) with a thumb.

Tip: After each use of the espresso machine, we recommend that

brew head is rinsed with a small amount of water. This will wash off

the used coffee which has stuck to the bottom part of the brew head.

To do this, simply turn the regulator knob into the espresso position

and run a short flow of water.

FROTHING MILK (DESCRIPTION)

The steam function is used for frothing milk. Steam performs two functions.

Firstly, it warms milk. Secondly, it mixes milk with air which gives it

a delicate, smooth appearance.
As is the case with brewing coffee, the best results with frothing milk are

achieved with time as the user gains experience.
Tip: Remember that coffee is the basis of all coffee beverages, and milk is

only an addition.
Notice: It is recommended that espresso is prepared first, and milk is

frothed afterwards.
Before the milk frothing process, check that the espresso machine is in the

steam mode, that is that button (M) is pushed in (the on/off pilot light is

illuminated

(L)), and the hot water/steam button

(B) is in the “pushed

in” position

(the standby mode light

(N) is not illuminated (10) (11)).

1. Check if there is cold water in the tank. If there is no or little water, fill

up the tank with cold water

(1).

2. Determine the amount of milk needed based on the number of cups

of coffee brewed or on the size of the milk jug.
Tip: Remember that the volume of milk increases during frothing.

3. Pour cold, cooled down milk into a stainless steel jug filling it up to 1/2

or 2/3 of its capacity

(14).

Tip: Store a stainless steel jug with milk in a fridge so that the milk

is well cooled down. Remember not to rinse the jug with warm water

before use.

4. Rinse the steam wand

(C) by placing a dish under it (C) and by

turning the regulator knob

(K) into the steam position (12). Turn off

the steam by turning the regulator knob

(K) into position 0 (13).

5. Move the steam wand

(C) to the side of the appliance and attach the

milk frothing attachment

(D) onto the steam wand (C).

6. Immerse the steam wand in milk so that the wand is about 1/2 cm

below the surface and activate steam dosing by turning the regulator

knob

(K) into position (15) (16).

7. Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the steam wand sits in the

jug and lower the jug until the end of the steam wand is immersed just

below the surface of milk. This will start the milk frothing process.
Warning: Do not allow an uneven outflow of steam, or the froth will

not be properly aired. To avoid it, lift the jug so that the steam wand is

deeper immersed in milk. Remember that the ideal texture of milk is

soft, smooth froth.

8. The moment the milk has warmed up and frothed, the level of milk

in the jug will start rising. If this happens, start lowering the jug but

always keep the end of the steam wand immersed just under the milk

surface.

9. The moment froth has been obtained, lift the jug so that the steam

wand is in the middle of milk.
Tip: The amount of froth required will change depending on the type

of beverage prepared. E.g. a cappuccino requires more froth than

a coffee beverage on the basis of an espresso served with steam

frothed milk.

10. Immediately after milk has been warmed up to 60-65°C, turn off the

steam by turning the regulator knob

(K) into position 0 (17).

Tip: If you do not have a thermometer, a good indication of reaching

the right temperature is if you cannot keep a hand against the jar for

longer than 3 seconds.
Important: Do not boil the milk.

11. Remove the jug and take the frothing attachment

(D) off the steam

wand

(C). After each use, clean the wand in warm water with the

addition of washing-up liquid. Clear all its outlets. Promptly wipe the

steam wand

(C) and its end with a clean damp cloth and rinse with

a small amount of steam.

12. Holding the jug in one hand tap it lightly on the table so as to release

air bubbles and then move the jug in a circular motion until milk gets

shiny and there are no bubbles in it. This will help obtain a uniform

texture of milk and froth.

USING THE HOT WATER FUNCTION

The

hot water function is perfect for preparing the long black drink

(espresso diluted with hot water), hot chocolate and for filling a coffee

plunger or a tea pot.
Warning: Before using the hot water function, check that the milk frothing

attachment

(D) has been taken off the steam wand (C).

1. Fill up the water tank with cold water

(1).

Turn on the espresso machine

(3). It is important that the espresso

machine is in the

hot water mode when using the hot water function,

which means that button is pushed in

(M) (the on/off pilot light is

illuminated

(L)), and the hot water/steam button

(B) is in the

“pushed out” position

(the standby mode pilot light

(N) is not

illuminated)

(18) (19).

2. Place a cup or a dish under the

steam/hot water wand and activate

the

hot water function by turning the regulator knob (K) into position

(20) (21). The standby light (N) is illuminated during this process.

3. The moment the cup or dish has been filled with the desired amount

of hot water, close the hot water by turning the regulator knob

(K) into

position

0 (22).

4. Take out the cup or dish and leave the steam wand

(C) over the drip

tray

(I).
