How to prepare espresso coffee
Filling the water tank
Remove the tank by pulling sideways and lifting the intake tubes out
of the water (fig. 1).
Rinse and fill with clean cold water (fig 2).The water level is shown
by a floating ball. Replace the tank in the housing, making sure the
tubes are in the water.
More simply, fill the tank by extracting it just enough to pour in the
water directly from a jug.
Preheating the coffee machine
To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right tempera-
ture it is essential that the coffee unit is preheated.
1. Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3).
2. Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine
by positioning it under the boiler outlet with the handle
towards the left (fig. 4). Push upwards and at the same time
turn the handle as far right as possible. It does not matter if the
handle is not centrally aligned with the machine, as long as the
filter holder is firmly attached to the appliance.
3. Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that
the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated.
Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig. 5), then immediately
press the coffee button (fig. 6). Allow the water to run until the
OK indicator light goes out, then stop the water by pressing the
coffee button again (fig. 6).
4. Empty the cup, wait until the “OK” pilot light comes on again
and repeat the whole operation one more time.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off
when removing the filter holder).
