MACHINE OPERATION
1. Install the portalter by inserting it into the group head and
rotate the portalter handle from left to right. The portalter is
inserted properly once it is rmly inside the group head and the
portalter handle is sitting at 90 degrees from the face of the
machine (Fig G).
2. You can now turn the group control paddle to start the water
owing through the portalter.
3. It is important to leave the portalter installed in the group
head when not in use. The portalter must remain heated for a
successful brew process. It will also prevent the head seal inside
the group head from drying out prematurely.
4. Single (with one spout) and double (with two spouts) portalter
handles come ready assembled with single and double baskets
tted.
5. You are now ready to start brewing coffee by removing the
portalter and placing ground coffee inside the lter basket.
Press down on the coffee with the supplied tamper and install the
G
portalter in the group head. Turn the paddle to release heated
water and start the brewing process..
6. To stop the brewing process return the group control paddle to
the starting position so that the water stops owing.
7. To heat milk dip the steam tip
1
under the surface of the milk
which is contained in a stainless milk jug. Release heat into the
milk by pulling the steam handle
2
forwards so the valve is fully
open. Once the milk is at a good temperature for consumption
push the lever back to the upright position. Remove jug from
under the steam wand.
8. In order to prevent heated milk from being sucked into the
boiler it is recommended that you purge the steam wand after
heating milk. Purge by releasing steam for a few seconds into the
atmosphere.
9. To dispense hot water press the hot water symbol
3
on the
touch screen and release the required amount of water into a cup
or vessel. To stop the hot water press the hot water symbol on the
touch screen. CAUTION THE WATER IS VERY HOT.
