Usage Features
The machine offers a straightforward user experience with clear instructions for each function.
Before First Use:
- Fill the water tank with clean water, ensuring the water level does not exceed the "MAX" mark.
- Insert the coffee filter into the porta-filter and attach it to the machine.
- Place a cup on the removable shelf.
- Connect the power source and turn the ON/OFF button to "ON." The blue power indicator will illuminate.
- Press the coffee button to pump water, then press it again to stop.
- Press the steam button to allow steam to flow out, then press it again to stop.
- After flushing, press the coffee button again to fill a cup with water, then discard the water. This process cleans the internal system.
Preheating:
- Ensure the water tank is filled.
- Insert the porta-filter (without coffee) and lock it into place.
- Turn the ON/OFF button to "ON." The blue power indicator will illuminate.
- Wait for the coffee button to illuminate, indicating the machine has reached the correct brewing temperature.
- After the coffee button illuminates, press it to allow hot water to flow out, then press it again to stop. The preheating is finished.
Making an Espresso:
- Remove the porta-filter by turning it anti-clockwise.
- Add ground coffee to the filter using the measuring scoop, pressing it down firmly with the press.
- Insert the porta-filter into the machine and lock it into place.
- Place a cup under the porta-filter.
- Ensure the steam control knob is in the OFF position.
- Once the coffee button illuminates, press it to start brewing.
- Press the coffee button again when the desired amount of coffee is obtained.
- WARNING: Do not leave the coffee maker unattended during brewing.
Making Cappuccino / Frothed Milk:
- Prepare espresso first.
- Turn the steam knob anti-clockwise to the "ON" position. The steam indicator will start blinking. Wait for the light to stop blinking, indicating the correct temperature.
- Fill a jug with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino.
- In order to get better milk foam performance, open the steam knob for approximately 15 seconds without putting it in the milk yet. This will clear out any cold water in the system. Then put the knob back to OFF position and conduct the next step.
- Immerse the steam wand into the milk about two centimetres deep.
- Turn the steam knob slowly anti-clockwise. Steam will come out from the steam wand. Move the jug around, up and down to froth the milk.
- Note: Never touch the steam outlet during steam jetting and be careful not to get burnt.
- Note: Never turn the steam control button rapidly, as the steam will accumulate rapidly in short time which may increase the potential of the risk of explosion.
Hot Water:
- When the preheating is finished, the coffee indicator lights up solidly.
- Then press the coffee button and the water pump starts to pump water.
- Turn the steam knob to "Hot water," and then hot water will flow out of the steam pipe.
- To stop making hot water, press the coffee switch again.
- Hot water is used for warming cups, making tea or cooling down the appliance.
- NOTE: The maximum working time of the hot water pump is 60 seconds.
Auto Power Off:
- If there is no operation within 25 minutes, the appliance will power off automatically.
