1 Pre heat the appliance as described on page 2.
2 Check that there is water in the tank.
3 Select the desired filter and fit into the filter holder. Make sure that the tab on
the filter fits into the slot on the filter holder.

Never remove the filter holder while the coffee ( ) or steam ( ) function is
selected or while coffee is brewing – steam could shoot out and burn you.
to make coffee using filter pods
Important
If the filter for one cup is used after ground coffee has been used, it is
necessary to clear any ground coffee from around the liquid coffee/boiler outlet.
This is necessary to avoid water leakages from the filter holder and to ensure
optimum performance. Take care as the area may be hot.
1 Pre heat the machine as described on page 2. This will ensure that the coffee
is delivered at a hotter temperature. Fit the small filter into the filter holder
before fitting to the machine, making sure that the tab on the filter fits into the
slot on the filter holder.
2 Place the coffee pod into the filter making sure the pod is facing the correct
way ᕥ.
3 Press the pod towards the lower part of the filter, making sure that the paper
flaps adhere to the inner part of the filter.
4 The pod needs to be well centred and placed in the filter.

locks into position ᕡ.

pods for the correct positioning of the pods in the filter
to froth milk for cappuccino
Prepare the espresso as previously described
1 Make sure there is water in the tank.
2 Turn the selector knob to the steam position (
). Wait until the OK light comes
on indicating that the boiler has reached the correct temperature.
3 Part fill a jug with milk – the milk may increase up to three times in volume so
select a suitably sized jug.
● Cold semi skimmed milk gives the best results.
4 Position the jug under the steam/hot water nozzle ᕦ.
5 Place the nozzle into the milk about 30mm deep and turn the steam/hot water
knob in an anti clockwise direction. The milk will begin to increase in volume
and appear frothy. When the volume of the milk has doubled, fully immerse the
nozzle and continue heating the milk. Once the desired temperature is reached
(60ºC), stop the steam by turning the steam/hot water knob clockwise.
● Never allow the milk to boil as this will spoil the flavour of the coffee.
6 Turn the selector knob back to the off position ( ).
7 Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee.
Important – Never operate the steam/hot water nozzle for longer than 2
minutes at one time.
hint - to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at
the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
to make espresso after frothing milk
Important
Never remove the filter holder from its housing immediately after using the
steam fuction.
If you’re making espresso after frothing milk, you need to get rid of any over-hot
water that could burn your coffee. Here’s how:
1 Place a container underneath the steam/hot water nozzle, ensuring the selector
knob is at the boiler position ( ), then turn the steam/hot water knob anti
clockwise. Turn the selector knob to the coffee position ( ) and allow the
water to flow out until the OK light comes on.
2 Turn the selector knob to the boiler setting ( ) to stop the water flowing from
the steam/hot water nozzle. Turn the steam/hot water knob in a clockwise
direction to close.
