Before Using for the First Time
1. Remove all packaging.

the First Time” as below.

Before Making Espresso for the First Time
To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent, you should rinse the coffee maker with warm
water as follows:
1. Make sure that all buttons are in the “Off” position and that the steam/ hot water knob is
closed by turning clockwise (don’t overtighten).
2. Lift out the tank, draw up the lid and fill with cold water. Never fill above the marked level
MAX. Alternatively, lift up the lid and fill the tank whilst in position on the espresso machine.
We recommend using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces limescale, never
use fizzy water.
3. Refit the tank, make sure that it is correctly positioned and apply light pressure if necessary
to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the water inlet of the machine. It is
normal for some water to remain in the compartment under the tank, this can be removed
using a sponge.
4. Swing out the steam/ hot water nozzle then attach the filter holder to the machine by
positioning it under the boiler outlet and turning to the right, place a bowl underneath.
5. Plug in the mains supply, press down the On/Off for Coffee switch (1, schedule 1)
, then the blue power light will blink for a while and glow once heated and
ready to make a coffee. The appliance is heated.
6. Press the steam switch, point the nozzle right and place a cup. The blue LED light will start
flashing until stabilized and ready for use. Turn the steam knob clockwise to eject steam.
Press the “coffee/hot water” switch. The pump will become full of water and the water will run.
Press the coffee/hot water switch and wait for a minute. The machine will start warming up.
Press the coffee/hot water switch again and the water will start running.
7. Immediately press down the steam switch and the coffee/hot water switch and wait until
water drips from the filter holders. This means the boiler has been filled with water.
Note: You have to operate this step as soon as possible, otherwise the boiler will be dry-
boiled.
Important: You can not brew espresso if you have not flushed the machine at first, the
flushing cycle causes the boiler to fill with water. If you have not used the machine for a few
days, you have to flush it with fresh water before you use it again.
Preheating the Espresso Machine
To make a cup of good hot Espresso coffee we recommend you preheat the appliance before
making coffee, including the funnel, filter and cup, so that the coffee flavour cannot be
influenced by the cold parts.
1. Check that the steam/hot water knob is firmly closed (turn clockwise) and that there is water
