Using the machine
To guarantee perfect espresso, the machine regularly rinses its inner circuit
with water. This automatic rinsing cycle takes place 15 minutes after the
appliance switches to standby mode or switches off. During the automatic
rinsing cycle, some of the water flows through the inner circuit directly into
the drip tray. Empty the drip tray regularly.
Brewing 1 or 2 cups of espresso or regular coffee
1 Make sure the on/off button lights up green continuously and the
control dial points to the coffee bean icon.
2 Place 1 or 2 cups on the drip tray cover.
