in water from a jug.

Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank and
always ll it when the water is a few centimetres from the
bottom.
Please note:
It is normal to nd water in the compartment under the tank;
dry using a clean sponge.
How to prepare espresso coee

Upon rst use, rinse the internal ducts of the device, by oper-

it is advised to pre-heat the coee machine in the following
manner:

tach the empty lter-holder to the machine (g. 5).
2. Place a cup under the lter-holder. Use the same cup
