OFF position.
GRINDING OPERATION
Insert bean hopper into position on top of the machine. Turn knob to lock
into place. Fill hopper with fresh beans (see fig. 1 ).
SELECTING GRIND SIZE
• There are 45 espresso grind size settings (No. 1-finest,
No. 45 - coarsest).
• To select grind size, rotate the grind size dial counter-clockwise to
increase grind coarseness or clockwise to increase grind fineness.
• We recommend you start at No. 30 and adjust as required to control
espresso flow rate.
AUTO GRIND DOSE & TAMP
• Align portafilter handle with the INSERT position on the grind outlet.
Lift to insert portafilter into the grind outlet and rotate to the centre
position, then rotate to the right and guide back to the centre to start
grinding (see fig. 3 and 4 ).
• Once it is completed, rotate the portafilter to the INSERT position and
lower to remove.
ESPRESSO EXTRACTION
Align portafilter handle with the INSERT position on the group head.
Lift to insert portafilter and rotate towards the LOCK TIGHT position until
resistance is felt.
NOTE
Ensure the portafilter is firmly inserted and secured into the group head
before starting on extraction. Never remove the portafilter during the
brewing process.
EXTRACTION GUIDE
The 1 CUP and 2 CUP button are preset to use duration to control espresso
volume, but it can be reprogrammed (refer to ‘Programming Shot Volume/
Duration’) if you wish to use volumetric controls instead of duration (refer to
Flow Measurement Method (VoL)).
1 & 2 CUP BUTTON
• Press 1 CUP button for a single shot or 2 CUP button for a double shot of
espresso at the preset duration (20 seconds or 30 seconds, respectively).
The extraction will start using the low pressure pre-infusion (see fig. 2 ).
MANUAL OVERRIDE
• Press and hold either the 1 CUP or 2 CUP button to commence
pre-infusion. When the required pre-infusion duration is met, release the
button to begin full pump pressure.
• Press the button again to stop the pour when required duration has been
achieved.
TEXTURING MILK
The SELECT dial is used to select milk temperature and texture. Press the
dial to toggle between milk temperature and texture. The flashing value
(either temperature or texture triangle) can be changed by rotating the dial.
ADJUSTING MILK TEMPERATURE
Press the SELECT dial until temperature flashes, then rotate the dial to
increase or decrease milk temperature. The ideal temperature for milk is
between 55°C- 65°C as indicated by the smiley face icon (see fig. 5 ).
ADJUSTING MILK TEXTURE
Press the SELECT dial until texture triangle flashes. Rotate dial towards
‘CAPP’ for more texture or ‘LATTE’ for less texture (see fig. 6 ).
NOTE
Prior to texturing milk, always purge steam wand by momentarily pressing
down the steam lever.
AUTO MILK TEXTURING
Press down and release steam lever. The LCD will display the temperature
of the milk as it heats. Milk texturing will stop automatically when the
selected temperature is reached. Lift steam wand to remove milk jug.
Lower wand to automatically purge (see fig. 7 and 8 ).
FEATURES
MANUAL MILK TEXTURING
• Auto milk texturing and auto shut-off are disabled during manual milk
texturing mode.
• Insert steam wand into milk jug. Lift steam lever to activate manual steam
mode. Once the desired milk texture and temperature are achieved,
lower the steam lever to the centre OFF position. Lower steam wand to
the down position and the wand will automatically purge.
TIP
Wipe the wand and tip with a damp cloth.
HINTS AND TIPS
For optimum milk texturing performance it is critical that the holes around
the steam tip are clear. Even partially blocked holes may affect the ability of
the steam wand to produce sufficient foam. Always wipe the wand and tip
with a damp cloth BEFORE returning the wand to the down position.
CAUTION
BURN HAZARD
Pressurised steam can still be released, even after machine has been
switched off.
NOTE
If machine is run continuously for 30 minutes, allow machine to cool for
5 minutes before each use.
