Brewing espresso
At this stage the espresso machine will be fully prepared:
• The container will be filled with water.
• The brewing system and the cup(s) to be used will be preheated.
• The porta filter (with the appropriate filter and ground coffee) will be properly
fitted to the group head.
• The POWER indicator light will be illuminated.
• The HEATING light will be on if the appliance is still heating up (or it will have
turned off when the correct working temperature has been reached).
• Place the cup(s) underneath the espresso outlets.
• Set the HOT WATER/STEAM selector to HOT WATER (released) and the
function dial to the position.
• Freshly brewed espresso will be delivered straight into the cup(s) as soon
as the machine has reached the correct temperature. You must turn the
function dial to its neutral position to switch the pump off when you have
enough coffee.
• Wait for approximately 30 seconds before removing the porta filter and coffee
grounds. Your espresso machine is now ready for another brewing cycle.
IMPORTANT!
• You must stop the flow manually by turning the function dial to its neutral
position when you have enough coffee.
• Exercise caution when removing the porta filter, it will be hot and may still
contain some hot water.
Emptying the used coffee grounds
• After each use, wait at least 30 seconds until the operating pressure has been
sufficiently reduced. Then take out the porta filter and clean it.
• CAUTION: Take care when handling the metal parts, they may still be hot.
The porta filter may also still have some hot water floating on top of the used
coffee grounds, especially after brewing 2 cups of espresso.
Exercise caution to avoid scalding!
• To remove the coffee grounds, gently tap the side of the porta filter against a
vertical surface. Rinse the filter and wipe the porta filter thoroughly after use.
• Before switching off the machine, turn the function dial to the setting and
let a small amount of water run through the system to wash it out.
• See pages 18-19 for thorough cleaning instructions.
