order to obtain a good espresso
coffee, it is important to use a top quality coffee, correctly roa-
sted and ground. if, when the machine is under pressure and the lever (1) is held in the upright
position, the coffee comes out drop by drop, then the grind is correct; then, your coffee machine
is exploited at its very best.

When using the machine for the very first time, we
recommend you put some water with two little spoons
of sodium bicarbonate into the boiler (9). When the
machine reaches pressure, put a container under the
group (11) and slowly raise the lever
(1
in order to
drain the boiler completely. Repeat this procedure at
least twice. Then, switch off the machine, open
steam knob (4) anticlockwise, and wait until no more
steam comes out of the steam pipe
open the boi-
ler cap (13) anticlockwise and tip up the machine to
empty the boiler completely.
