4. Filling the water tank
CAUTION! Pour the water into the tank (1) only when the cord is
unplugged from the socket. The valve at the bottom part of the tank
prevents the water from leakage.
●
Remove the water tank
(1)
by pulling it upward
(Fig. 1)
.
●
Open the cover of the water tank
(1)
and fill it up with fresh, cool water
(Fig. 2). Do not exceed the maximum (MAX) level.
●

CAUTION! Do not use the espresso machine, when the tank (1) is
empty. Before brewing coffee it is vital to check whether there is
any water in the tank (1). Do not fill the tank (1) with hot water. Due
to hygienic reasons do not leave any water in the tank for longer
periods.
CAUTION! Remember to avoid low levels of water level in the tank
(1). In such a case the machine will stop working, give out a sound
signal, which will end only if the tank is filled (1), furthermore the
no-water indicator
will flash on the display panel.
5. Warming up the cups
Using a cup warmed up to a certain temperature before brewing coffee
increases the taste of the coffee itself and creates a thick froth on its
surface.
The machines gives you two ways of warming up a cup. The first one is to
warm it by means of hot water coming out of the steam/hot water nozzle
(10)
acting accordingly to
paragraph 14
.
The second way is to place the cups before the coffee brewing process on
the cup-warming plate
(2)
situated at the top of the espresso machine.
CAUTION! The coffee maker was designed with a power consumption
protection device, and after one hour of standing-by (with no coffee
making or other processes active), it automatically turns itself off.
This means that it is impossible for the heating panel to heat up for
more than one hour.
