Operation
a) Before first use
Before using the espresso machine, rinse the appliance with warm water as follows:
1 Remove the plug on the bottom of the water tank.
2 Fill the water tank with clean water, ensuring that you do not exceed the maximum level,
and close the tank cover before placing the tank back in the appliance. The appliance is
supplied with an easy-to-clean water tank.
3 Set the brewing filter into the metal funnel (with no coffee in the brewing filter).
4 Place an espresso cup on the drip plate and make sure the knob is at the horizontal OFF
position.
5 Connect to a power outlet and press the power button. The power indicator will turn on
and the single/double-cup/steam indicator will flash.
6 The appliance will start heating. When the single/double-cup/steam indicator stays
constant, this indicates that pre-heating is complete. Press the double-cup button and wait
for a moment until the water starts to flow.
7 When the appliance stops pumping water, you can pour away the water in the container
and clean it thoroughly. The appliance is now ready for brewing. Note that the appliance
may make a loud noise (for around 20 seconds) when pumping water for the first time as
air is released from inside the appliance.
b) Pre-heating
For best results, it is recommended to preheat the appliance before making coffee, including
the metal funnel, brewing filter and cup.
1. Remove the water tank and open the tank cover to fill it with the desired amount of water.
The water level should not exceed the MAX mark on the water tank. Place the water tank
into the appliance properly before use.
2. Set the brewing filter into the metal funnel, making sure the tube on the funnel is aligned
with the groove on the appliance, and insert the funnel into the appliance from the LOCK
position. You can then fix the funnel into the coffee maker by turning it anticlockwise until it
is at the CLOSE position.
3. Place an espresso cup on the drip plate.
4. Connect the appliance to a power supply and make sure the knob is at the horizontal OFF
position.
5. Press the power button (the power indicator will turn on) and the single/double-cup/steam
indicator will start flashing.
6. When the single/double-cup/steam indicator stays constant, this indicates that pre-heating
is complete.
c) Espresso coffee
1. Remove the funnel by turning it clockwise. Add ground coffee to the brewing filter using the
measuring spoon (one spoonful of ground coffee power can make about one cup of coffee),
and then press the ground coffee powder down tightly with the measuring spoon.
2. Set the brewing filter into the metal funnel, making sure the tube on the funnel is aligned
with the groove on the appliance, and then insert the funnel into the appliance to the LOCK
position. Then turn the metal funnel anticlockwise until it is at the CLOSE position.
3. Place a suitable cup on the drip plate.
4. Select single-cup or double-cup as appropriate, and then press the appropriate button for
the selected function. Coffee will flow into the cup after a few seconds.
5. The appliance will stop automatically when the coffee has finished brewing.
WARNING: Do not leave the coffee maker unattended while in use.
6. When the coffee brewing has finished and the appliance has cooled down, take the metal
funnel out by turning it clockwise, and then discard the coffee residue.
d) Hot water
When fully preheated, place a suitable cup under the steam wand and turn the knob to the
position. Hot water will be dispensed from the steam wand. Turn the knob off when the
desired amount of hot water has been dispensed.
e) Frothing milk/making cappuccino
To make a cappuccino, top up a cup of espresso with frothed milk. Note that when steam is
coming out of the steam wand, the metal funnel must be assembled and in position.
Before frothing milk, release steam for 10 seconds.
Method:
1. Press the steam button. The steam indicator will start flashing. When the steam indicator
stays constant, this indicates that pre-heating is complete.
2. Start by preparing a shot of espresso in an appropriately sized cup.
3. Fill a jug with about 100 grams of milk per cup of cappuccino. For best results, use whole
milk at a refrigerated temperature (i.e. not hot).
Note: When choosing the size of the jug, the diameter should be at least 70±5 mm. Bear in
mind that milk doubles in volume when frothed using the steam wand.
4. Insert the steam wand into the milk by about two centimetres and turn the knob to the
position. Steam will come out from the steam wand. Froth the milk by moving the vessel up
and down and side to side.
Warning: Exercise caution, as the steam may result in scalds and burns.
5. When you have obtained the required amount of froth, turn the knob to the OFF position.
Note: Clean the steam outlet with a wet sponge immediately after steam stops being produced.
6. Pour the frothed milk into the prepared espresso to finish making your cappuccino. Sweeten
to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.
The steam wand can be used to froth milk or also to make hot beverages such as drinking
chocolate and water.
Note that after making steam, you can press the single-cup or double-cup button
immediately to brew coffee again. The coffee indicator will flash quickly if the temperature
is too high. If this happens, you need to reduce the temperature as follows: turn the knob
to the hot water setting to dispense hot water. When the temperature goes down, the pump
will stop automatically. When the pump stops, turn the knob to the OFF position. You can
then brew coffee again.
If you do not want to brew coffee and the high-temperature warning is displayed, you can
press the single-cup or double-cup button again to cancel.
f) Setting the dispensing amount
1. Single-cup dispensing amount
Hold down the single-cup button for 3 seconds to enter the setting mode. Then press the
single-cup button again. Coffee will start to dispense, and the single-cup indicator will flash.
When the desired amount has been dispensed, press the single-cup button again to stop
the coffee dispensing. The set amount will then be saved for future use. You can set the
single-cup dispensing amount to between 25 ml and 60 ml.
2. Double-cup dispensing amount
Hold down the double-cup button for 3 seconds to enter the setting mode. Then follow
the steps above for setting the single-cup dispensing amount. You can set the double-cup
dispensing amount to between 70 ml and 110 ml.
