2. Rotate the handle of the filter holder to the right until it sticks out at the front of the
machine in approx. right angle (closed lock icon). Ensure that the filter holder is
locked securely to the group head.
NOTE
There is no need for concern, when feeling a high resistance, while locking the
filter holder at the group head. This is caused by the gasket at the group head.
You may even turn the filter holder somewhat farther for getting a really tight seal.
Making Espresso
WARNING
– DO NOT remove the filter holder during extraction for avoi-
ding that hot water splashes violently from under the group head.
1. Ensure that the drip tray and the metal grid are inserted correctly. At the latest,
when the red filling indicator rises under the metal grid, it is time for emptying
the drip tray. Ensure that the water tank is filled sufficiently (above the MIN mar-
king).
2. Place one or two cups under the spouts of the filter holder.
3. On the drink page touch the cup icon. After some seconds, the espresso is given
off automatically. Wait until the extraction is complete. Alternatively, you may
stop the function any time you like via the “Stop” button. Thereafter, the drink
page is displayed again.
NOTE
It may last some seconds until the water system reaches the optimum brewing
temperature. In this case a message is displayed. As soon as this message disa-
pears, the extraction starts with the pre-injection (see: ‘Properties of Your Espresso
Machine’).
4. When you are making a coffee beverage with textured milk, use the jug icon
for frothing the milk (see: ‘Texturing Milk’).
NOTE
There is no restriction to starting the cycle of making your drink repeatedly.
After the Extraction
WARNING
– Before removing the filter holder at the end of the extraction
cycle, wait some seconds for the system to release the pressure. Thereafter,
slowly
unlock the filter holder to avoid splashing of hot water. The metal parts (group
head, espresso filter, filter holder) may be very hot during the extraction and there-
after. Only touch the filter holder by the black handle. If required, cool the filter
holder down via cold water, before touching the metal parts with your hands. After
the extraction is finished, hot water may still be in the espresso filter. Hold the filter
holder level to avoid spilling the water. Do not hold or place the hot filter holder
on or above sensitive objects or surfaces. Do not hold your hand under the filter
holder.
CAUTION
– Pour out the hot water in the filter holder. Alternatively, careful-
ly place the filter holder on the metal grid of the drip tray or on a heat-resistant
large bowl or tray. Do not dispose of the used coffee powder in the sink. Other-
wise, the outlet pipe may get clogged. Dispose of the coffee powder in domestic
waste.
IMPORTANT -
Remove the coffee powder from the espresso filter after extraction.
Otherwise, coffee powder could dry on the surfaces and clog the fine mesh of
the espresso filter.
1. First remove your cups from the drip tray and place the cups onto the warming
plate.
2. Unlock the filter holder from the group head. For this, hold the filter holder by the
handle and rotate the filter holder to the left for unlocking it. Then,
carefully
lower
the filter holder out of the group head, keeping the filter holder level. If the espres-
so filter is filled with water, slowly discard the water into the drip tray or place the
filter holder onto the drip tray or a sufficiently large tray for letting the water run
out. Remove the used coffee powder from the espresso filter.
WARNING
– When using espresso pods, the pod may stick to the group
head after extraction. Directly after the extraction,
do not
attempt to remove it with
your fingers to avoid scalds. Wait until the group head cooled down or assemble
the filter holder again and disassemble it. In most cases, this makes the espresso
pod fall off the group head. However,
DO NOT poke in the group head via any
hard or sharp-edged objects
to avoid damage to the gasket and splash shield of
the group head.
3. After each extraction, you should purge the group head for removing residues
of coffee powder from the shower screen in the group head. Simply press the 1
cup button to give off hot water via the group head. Let the hot water from the
