1. ESPRESSO FUNCTION
For best results, it is ideal to pre-heat your
cups, group handle and filter as follows:
• Insert the power plug into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and turn the power on.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5)
with cold water and start the appliance (6).
• Put the group handle and an empty filter
in place (7) (8) (9), and place a container
underneath the group handle to capture
water.
• Turn the dial to
the espresso (
)
setting
(11).
• Let water run through the group handle for
10 seconds and return the dial to the off
(
) position.
Note: Once the appliance has been on for
a while, the coffee cups can be warmed
by placing them upside down on the cup
warming plate (12).
Preparing an espresso:
• Insert the power plug into a 230-240V AC
power outlet and turn the power on.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5)
with cold water and start the appliance (6).
• Pre-heat your group handle by holding the
group handle under the group head and
purging with water (14).
• Pre-heat your coffee cups by placing them
upside down on the cup warming plate (12).
• Select the required filter (7) for 1 or 2 cups
of coffee and place in the group handle.
• Using the measuring spoon supplied, place
one or two measures of ground coffee into
the filter (15). With the other end of the
measuring spoon, use the tamp to push
(pack) down the coffee grinds (16).
Important: Be sure not to over-fill the filter
with too much coffee, and wipe around the
edge of the filter to remove any coffee grinds
(17).
• Place the group handle in the group head.
Position the handle so it points to the left,
place the group handle flat against the
group head, then turn the handle towards
the right (18) as far as it can go.
Note: Do not over tighten.
• Place 1 or 2 pre-heated cups below the
pouring spouts.
• Turn the operating dial to the espresso (
)
setting
(19). You will hear the machine
making a pumping noise, this is normal.
• Once the cup/s are filled to the desired
level, turn the operating dial to the off
(
) position.
• Remove the group handle and the filter by
turning the group handle to the left.
• To remove the used coffee grinds from the
filter, simply turn the group handle upside
down in a bin and gently tap out the
coffee (20).
• After each use of the espresso machine
for best results when making consecutive
cups of espresso we recommend that you
flush a small amount of water through the
machine with the group handle already
removed from the group head. Simply turn
the operating dial to the espresso setting
and allow the water to run through until
you have a consistent flow of water. This
will wash out any old or used coffee grinds
stuck to the underside of the group head
and also help ensure the correct water
temperature for your next shot of espresso.
Note: Do not leave the group handle locked
in position for extended periods, or when
machine is not in use. This shortens the
life of the group head rubber seal.
