hot surfaces (e.g. burner, heater or oven). Do not use any part of the appliance (e.g. pot,

• The appliance is designed for brewing espresso and coffee. Therefore, some components,
such as the grouphead, the portafilter and the steam wand become very hot during operati-

• After you have filled the correct quantity of ground coffee into the portafilter, you should
press the ground coffee as evenly as possible. To do this, use the integrated tamper. The
ground coffee should not be pressed too hard.
• Wipe carefully the rim of the portafilter of any spilled coffee. The rim should be completely
clean so that the portafilter can seal at the brew head pressure-tight.
