does happen, repeat the above
procedure.

4–2. PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE
Make sure that you have carried out all
the operations indicated in section 4.1
“starting the appliance”.
PRE-HEATING
• Make sure there is enough water in
the tank ( 1).
• Depending on the number of cups of
coffee you wish to make, place a one-
cup filter ( 8) or a two-cup filter (9) into
the filter-holder ( 10) and insert the
filter holder into the group head ( 5).
• Turn on the main switch ( 13), the
power on light ( 11) will come on
to indicate that the machine is in
operation.
• Wait until machine reaches the
operating temperature in order
to dispense a coffee. The light
( 15a) comes on to confirm that the
temperature has been reached.
PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE
• After pre-heating, remove the filter
holder ( 10), select the filter (8) if you
wish to make one coffee or the filter
( 9) if you wish to make two coffees and
place it into the filter holder.
• Fill the filter with one or two measures
of ground coffee (one measure per
cup) according to the type of filter
selected. Then level and press the
coffee firmly but not excessively with
the coffee tamper ( 12).
• Clean any coffee residues from the
edge of the filter and insert the filter-
holder ( 10) into the group head (5),
moving it towards the right in order to
lock it in position.
• Place one or two pre-warmed cups on
the drip tray grid ( 7) under the filter
holder and turn on the coffee / hot
water switch ( 14). The pressure gauge
( 3) indicates the operating pressure.
• Once the required amount of coffee
has been dispensed, stop delivery by
turning off the switch ( 14) but do not
remove the filter holder.
• After having switched on the
machine, wait about 6 minutes
for it to heat up to the operating
temperature before dispensing
the first coffee.
• To obtain a good cup of coffee,
it is important that you use a good
quality, well roasted and correctly
ground coffee.
• The pump type espresso coffee
machine requires finely ground
coffee. If the coffee is too coarsely
ground, the coffee will be light
coloured and weak without froth
and if the coffee is too finely
ground the espresso will be dark
and strong and have little froth.
• We recommend that you grind
the coffee beans with a grinder
