Preparing your espresso machine
for the first time
• Ensure the espresso machine is always
positioned onto a dry, stable bench top.
• Ensure all packaging has been removed
from the espresso machine and the drip
tray with grill is in place.
• Fill the espresso machine with water;
1. Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at
the top of the espresso machine and using
a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered
water.
2. Alternatively slide out the water reservoir
from the back of the espresso machine and
fill with fresh cold water or filtered water.
Then replace the water reservoir, ensuring
it is firmly in place.
• Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and switch the power on.

Power
Note:
Before turning on the espresso
machine ensure the steam and hot water
control dials are in the OFF position.
• Press the POWER button once to turn the
espresso machine on. The machine will
beep once and the power button will flash
to indicate that your machine is on and is
heating up.
• When the white light on the POWER button
stops flashing and turns to a constant
white light this indicates that the espresso
machine is now at temperature and is in
READY MODE.
• At this point glasses and cups can
be placed on the warming plate for
pre-heating.
• Fit the group handle with either the single
or double filter basket and secure to the
group head on the espresso machine.
• Place a sufficiently large container under
both pour spouts and press the MANUAL
button. Water will start to run through.
Note:
As a safety mechanism the espresso
machine is programmed to automatically stop
the water flow after 240mls, therefore you
will need to press the MANUAL button again
to restart the water flow.
• Continue to allow the water to run through
until the water reservoir is empty. This can
also be done by turning the hot water knob
to ON position.
