RINSING THE SYSTEMS BEFORE FIRST USE
1. RINSING THE ESPRESSO SYSTEM
To ensure your rst cup of coee tastes great, we strongly recommend that you rinse
the espresso machine with hot water, as instructed below:
1. Ensure you have removed the red protective cap from under the water tank (1).
2. Plug in your machine (2).
3. Remove the water tank (3) and ll it. The water level should not exceed the “MAX”
mark on the tank and should contain at least 300 ml (= equivalent to 2 large cups)
(4). Then replace the water tank, ensuring that the cover is closed (5).
4. Press the On/O button (6). On the control panel, the coee indicator light is
blinking, which indicates that preheating is in progress (7).
5. Place a lter without coee into the portalter (8, 9). Slot the portalter into place
and turn it to the right until it stops (10). Place a container under the portalter (11).
6. When the coee indicator light stops blinking and stays on (12), turn the knob to the
left, to espresso preparation (13). The ow will start after approximately ten seconds.
7. Let approximately 300 ml of water trickle out (change the container if necessary),
then turn the knob to position • to stop preparation (15).
IMPORTANT / After 10 minutes of disuse, your appliance will switch o automatically
as a safeguard.
2. RINSING THE STEAM SYSTEM
1. Remove the water tank and ll it (3). The water level should not exceed the “MAX”

light is blinking (17).

4. When the steam indicator light stops blinking and stays on (19), turn the knob to
the right, to the steam function (20).

MAKING ESPRESSO
IMPORTANT!
If the espresso function is used for the rst time, the appliance must be
cleaned as described in the “FIRST USE” paragraph.
IMPORTANT! To prevent splashes of hot water, check that the portalter
has been tightened until it stops before preparing the coee. Do not
remove the portalter while the water is owing, as the appliance is still
under pressure.
A. With ground coee
The type of coee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso:
the ner your ground coee, the more intense your espresso will be.
To prepare your coee, please refer to the rst 4 steps in the FIRST USE – Rinsing the
espresso system section and then follow the instructions below.
1. Choose your lter: 1-cup or 2-cups (23) and insert it in the portalter.
2. Add the ground coee to the lter using the measuring spoon (1 spoon =
1 measure = 1-cup espresso / 2 spoons = 2 measures = 2-cup espressos) (24)
then tamp it using the tamper (25). Clean o any excess coee from around the
portalter.
3. The coee indicator light stops blinking and stays on (12). Your machine is ready.
The knob is set to function •.
TIPS:
- For the best result, we recommend preheating the accessories beforehand
(portalter, lter and cups) by pouring hot water inside.
- For the best result, we recommend preheating the brewing head. Place a
container under the brewing head (26). Turn the knob to the left (13), to espresso
preparation, for 10 seconds in order to heat your brewing head and make sure
your rst espresso is at the right temperature (27). Then turn the knob to position
• to stop water (15).
4. Slot the portalter into place then turn it to the right until it stops (10).
5. Place a cup or two under the portalter (28), turn the knob to the left, to the
espresso position (13), and the coee will start to ow (29).
IMPORTANT / The coee ow is stopped manually. Do not move away from the machine
when it is in use.
6. When the cup(s) is lled, turn the knob to position • to stop the ow (15)
7. Remove the cup(s).
8. Unlock the portalter by turning it to the left and remove it from the appliance
(8). Do not touch the lter as it will be hot.
9. To empty out the coee, invert the portalter while holding the lter with the
hook so that only the coee falls away (30).
10. Wash the lter and portalter under running water to remove the rest of the
coee (31).
