PREPARING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE FOR ITS FIRST
USE (DESCRIPTION)
1. Place the espresso machine on a dry and stable surface.
2. Check that the drip tray and the grid are in place.
3. Fill the water tank up with water.
There are two ways of
fi
lling the tank up with water:
a) Lift the lid of the water tank; it is in the top part of the espresso
machine
(1)
, and using e.g. a jug,
fi
ll it up with fresh cold water or
with
fi
ltered water
(2)
and close the lid.
b) Alternatively, the water tank can be taken out and
fi
lled up with
fresh cold water. To do this, lift the lid and using it as a handle, slide
the water tank out
(3)
. Next,
fi
ll it up with fresh cold water or with
fi
ltered water
(4)
. Replace the water tank and close the lid
(5)
.
4. Plug the connecting cord in a 230V alternating current mains socket.
Press the
POWER
button to turn the espresso machine on
(6)
. A red
signal light placed below the
POWER
button will come on and the
illumination around the outer edge of the
POWER
button will start
fl
ashing indicating that the espresso machine is on and is being heated.
When the illumination of the
POWER
button stops
fl
ashing and will
give continuous light, it means that the espresso machine is ready for
brewing espresso. At the same time, the outer edges of each of the
MANUAL
, the single espresso
and the double espresso
buttons will light up (continuous light).
Warning
:
Before turning the espresso machine on, check that the
regulator knob on the side of the espresso machine is in position
0 (off).
5. Place cups or other dishes on the warming plate
(8)
.
Notice
: When using the appliance for the
fi
rst time, or when the
appliance has not been used for a longer time, it is crucial that the
espresso machine is rinsed.
6. To do this, place a one or two cup
fi
lter in the holder
(9)
. Place the
fi
lter
holder in the brew head
(10)
(11)
.
7. Place a suf
fi
ciently large container under both
fi
lling outlets
(12)
.
8. Check that the espresso machine is in the
espresso
mode, i.e. the
outer edges around the
POWER, MANUAL,
single espresso
and
double espresso
buttons are lit (continuous light).
Tip
: Remember that if the illumination around the outer edges of the
POWER
button
fl
ashes, it means that the espresso machine is not
ready to use yet. Only the continuous illumination of the outer edges
around the
POWER, MANUAL
, single espresso
and double
espresso
buttons indicates that the espresso machine is ready
to use.
9. Press the
MANUAL
button
(13)
and allow water to
fl
ow out of the
appliance until the water tank has been emptied completely.
Notice
: Due to the activation of the safety system (limitation to 250 ml),
the user must press the
MANUAL
button several times to empty the
tank completely.
BREWING ESPRESSO (DESCRIPTION)
To obtain a
fl
avour-rich coffee, we recommend that the cups, the
fi
lter
holder and the
fi
lter are pre-heated in the following manner:
Pre-heating the
fi
lter holder
1. Fill up the water tank
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
with cold water and turn on the
appliance
(6)
.
2. Choose a suitable
fi
lter and place it in the holder
(9)
(14) (10) (11)
.
Tip
: Use a smaller
fi
lter (for one cup) for one coffee, and a bigger one
for two coffees.
3. Take the
fi
lter holder, hold it under the brew head and rinse it with water
by pressing the
MANUAL
button to start the
fl
ow of water. To stop the
rinsing process, press the
MANUAL
button again
(15)
.
4. Allow the
fi
lter holder to dry.
Pre-heating cups
5. If the appliance has been on for a longer time, pre-heat cups/glassware
on the plate – it will help keep the froth of the brewed coffee
(8)
.
6. Cups can also be pre-heated by
fi
lling them with hot water
(12) (13)
.
Press the
MANUAL
button to start the
fl
ow of water. To stop the
process, press the
MANUAL
button again. Pour the hot water out of
the cups.
Brewing coffee
7. Check if there is cold water in the tank. If there is no or little water,
fi
ll up
the tank
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
with cold water and turn the appliance on
(6)
.
8. Using the measure provided, put
fi
nely ground coffee in the
fi
lter
(16)
.
9. Using the other end (the
fl
at end) of the measure, press the coffee down
lightly making a 90 degree turn
(17)
to
fi
ll the bottom. It will tighten the
tamped coffee.
10. Remove any excess coffee so it is level with the rim of the
fi
lter
(18)
.
Important
: Ensure there is not too much coffee in the
fi
lter.
Tip
: Doses of coffee and the degree to which coffee is tamped should
be the same each time. The pouring time of brewed coffee depends
on the coarseness of ground coffee. The
fi
ner the coffee, the lower the
pouring speed.
Tip
: Check that the
fl
at end of the measure is dry when tamping coffee.
If it is damp, coffee particles may stick together.
Warning:
Too
fi
nely ground coffee
may block the holes of the
fi
lter and
stop the coffee
fl
ow.
11. Place
the
fi
lter holder in the brew head and turn it all the way to the right
(19) (20)
.
12. Place cups under the pouring outlets of the holder
(21)
.
Warning
: Check that the espresso machine is ready to use, i.e. that the
outer edges around the
POWER, MANUAL,
single espresso
and
double espresso
buttons are lit up (continuous light).
13. To resume pouring coffee in the manual mode (which gives a full control
of the espresso pouring time), press the
MANUAL
button. To stop coffee
pouring in the manual mode, press the
MANUAL
button again
(22)
.
14. To resume pouring coffee in the automatic mode (pre-programmed),
press button
(23)
(for 1 cup) or button
(for 2 cups)
(24)
.
When the cups are full, the espresso machine will stop automatically.
Tip:
Perfectly brewed coffee is dark, caramel with reddish highlights.
It largely depends on the quality of coffee used. Always serve freshly
brewed, hot coffee.
After brewing
15. Turn the
fi
lter holder to the left and remove it from the brew head
(25)
.
16. Empty the used coffee from the
fi
lter
(26)
.
Tip
: After each use of the espresso machine, we recommend that the
fi
lter holder is removed from the head and the brew head is rinsed with
a small amount of water at the contact point between the head and the
fi
lter holder. This will wash off the used coffee which has stuck to the
bottom part of the brew head and will ensure the right temperature of
water for next brewing. To do this, press the
MANUAL
button and run
a short
fl
ow of water into a dish.
FROTHING MILK (DESCRIPTION)
The steam function is used for frothing milk. Steam performs two func-
tions. Firstly, it warms milk. Secondly, it mixes milk with air which gives it
a delicate, smooth appearance.
As is the case with brewing coffee, the best results with frothing milk are
achieved with time as the user gains experience.
Tip
: Remember that coffee is the basis of all coffee beverages, and milk is
only an addition.
Notice
: It is recommended that espresso is prepared
fi
rst, and milk is
frothed afterwards.
Warning
: Before the milk frothing process, check that the espresso
machine is ready to use, i.e. that the outer edges of the
POWER,
MANUAL,
single espresso
and double espresso
buttons are
lit (continuous light).
1. Check if there is cold water in the tank. If there is no or little water,
fi
ll up
the tank
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
with cold water.
2. Determine the amount of milk needed based on the number of cups of
coffee brewed or on the size of the milk jug.
Tip
: Remember that the volume of milk increases during frothing.
3. Pour cold, cooled down milk into a stainless steel jug
fi
lling it up to 1/2
or 2/3 of its capacity.
Tip
: Store a stainless steel jug with milk in a fridge so that the milk
is well cooled down. Remember not to rinse the jug with warm water
before use.
4. Rinse the steam wand by placing a dish under it and by turning the
regulator knob to the steam position
(27)
. Turn off the steam by
turning the knob to position
0
(28)
.
5. Move the steam wand to the side of the appliance and attach the milk
frothing attachment
(29)
.
6. Immerse the steam wand in milk so that the wand is about 1 cm below
the surface and activate steam dosing by turning the regulator knob
into position
(30)
.
7. Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the steam wand sits in the
„spout” and lower the jug until the end of the steam wand is immersed
just below the surface of milk. This will start the milk frothing process.
Warning
: Do not allow an uneven out
fl
ow of steam, or the froth will
not be properly aired. To avoid it, lift the jug so that the steam wand is
deeper immersed in milk. Remember that the ideal texture of milk is
soft, smooth froth.
8. The moment the milk has warmed up and frothed, the level of milk in the
jug will start rising. If this happens, start lowering the jug but always keep
the end of the steam wand immersed just under the milk surface
(31)
.
9. The moment froth has been obtained, lift the jug so that the steam
wand is in the middle of milk
(32)
.
Tip
: The amount of froth required will change depending on the type of
beverage prepared. E.g. a cappuccino requires more froth than a coffee
beverage on the basis of an espresso served with steam frothed milk.
10. Immediately after milk has been warmed up to 60–65°C, turn off the
steam by turning the regulator knob to position
0
(33)
.
