PREHEATING
To make a good cup of hot espresso, we recommend preheating the appliance before brewing
coffee; this includes the lter holder, lter and your coffee mug. This will ensure you obtain the
best coffee drinking experience.
• Remove the detachable water tank from the appliance. Remove the lid from the tank and ll
it with water, the water level should never exceed the “MAX” line marked on the tank. Then
correctly attach the water tank back to the appliance.
• Place the lter into the lter holder (without any coffee), then insert the lter holder into the
appliance and turn it anticlockwise until it is at the “lock” position.
• Place your cup on the drip tray.
• Then connect the appliance to a power supply source. Make sure the steam control knob is
set to the “0” position.
• Press the ON/OFF button “ ” to turn on the unit, the power indicator (red) will light up. Make
sure that neither the coffee button “ ” nor the steam button “ ” are pressed down.
• Press down the coffee button “ ”. As soon as water starts coming out press the coffee but-
ton “ ” again. The purpose of this step is to pump the water from the tank into the housing.
• When the coffee indicator turns on (green), press the coffee button “ ” down again and hot
water will start owing out.
• After water has own for 20 seconds, press the coffee button “ ”. Now the preheating
process is nished.
MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE
• Remove the lter holder by turning it clockwise. Place the lter in the lter holder, ll it with
ground coffee using the measuring spoon and compress the ground coffee tightly with the
tamper. A scoop of ground coffee is enough to make a cup of high-quality coffee.
• Place the lter holder in the machine and lock it by turning it in an anticlockwise direction.
• Make sure that the steam knob is at the “0” position and that neither the coffee button “ ”
nor the steam button “ ” are pressed down.
• Press the coffee button “ ” manually when you have brewed the desired amount of coffee
or if it’s coming out too diluted.
• Once you have nished brewing your coffee, press the ON/OFF button “ ” and the power
indicator light will turn off.
WARNING: Do not leave the coffee maker unattended while mak-
ing coffee, as it requires manual operation!
Note: During the brewing or steaming process, it is normal that the temperature light turns
off. This means the machine is heating up to keep the temperature at the standard range.
• Once the coffee making process is complete, you can remove the lter holder by turning it
clockwise from its “Lock” position and discard the coffee residue from the steel lter.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before rinsing it under running water.
