Plug the power cord into a 230/240v
power outlet and switch on.
•
Rotate the Espresso/Steam Selector

the red light will illuminate and the
coffee will begin to flow into the cup.
•
When sufficient coffee has flowed into
the cup, turn the Espresso/Steam
Selector Control back to the ‘STANDBY’
position.This will stop the flow of coffee.
•
If you are not continuing to using the
steam function, switch off at the power
outlet, unplug the power cord and allow
the appliance to cool.
•
Do not remove the water tank cap or
filter holder until the steam pressure in
the appliance has been released.
NOTE! The steam pressure in the Espresso
function of the appliance must be released each
time BEFORE re-filling with cold water.
How to release the steam pressure
•
Switch the power off at the power
outlet and unplug the power cord.
•
Place the small carafe under the steam
nozzle.
•
Turn the Espresso/Steam Selector Control
to the ‘STEAM’
position and allow
all steam and residual water to drain into
the carafe until all flow and sound ceases.
The steam pressure is now released.
•
Turn the Espresso/Steam Selector
Control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position
to ensure steam pressure is
released then turn back to the
‘STANDBY’ position.
•
After the steam pressure has been
released, remove the Espresso filter
holder from the brew head by rotating
it 45 degrees to the left.
•
Using the filter retainer clip to secure
the filter in the Espresso filter holder,
turn the filter holder upside down to
empty used coffee grounds. Used
coffee grounds should be thrown away

sink which may block drains. Rinse the
Espresso filter holder and filter with
water and allow to dry.

2) HOW TO MAKE A
CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE
A cappuccino is an espresso topped with
steamed and frothed milk (1/3 espresso,
1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 frothed milk),
traditionally served lukewarm in a cup.
A latte is an espresso topped with
steamed and frothed milk (1/3 espresso,
topped with steamed milk and about 1cm
of frothed milk), traditionally served in a
glass wrapped with a serviette.
•
The first step in making a
cappuccino/latte is to make a short
espresso (Follow steps in ‘How to
make an Espresso’).
Frothing the milk
•
Fill the small glass carafe 1/3 full with cold
milk (skim milk is the easiest to froth).
•
Hold the carafe below the froth
enhancer. Immerse the froth enhancer
10mm into the milk and rotate the
Espresso/Steam Selector Control to
the ‘STEAM’ position. Gently move the
carafe in a circular motion around the
froth enhancer.
•
When the milk begins to increase in
volume, immerse the froth enhancer
deeper into the milk to further heat
the milk. Do not allow the milk to boil.
Steaming the milk
•
Remove the froth enhancer from the
steam tube and follow the above
instructions for frothing milk. Use this
method when less froth is required, for
example, to heat the milk for flat white
coffee.
•
Turn the Espresso/Steam Selector
Control to the ‘STANDBY’ position to
stop the steaming function before
removing the carafe.
•
Add the frothed or steamed milk to each
cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and
spoon on the frothed milk where required.
•
Switch the power off at the power
outlet, unplug the power cord, remove
all steam pressure and allow the
appliance to cool.
