FILLING THE WATER TANK
•
Ensure the water filter is securely fitted
inside the tank.
•
Fill the water tank with cold tap water
to the maximum mark on the side of the
tank and slide the water tank back into
position at the back of the machine.
•
Plug the power cord into power outlet
and switch On at power point.

Press the POWER button to On. The
POWER button surround will flash
while the machine is heating. When the
correct temperature has been reached,
all the button surrounds on the control
panel will illuminate.
NOTE
Check the water level before use and
replace the water daily. The water
tank should be filled with fresh, cold
tap water before each use.
Do not use mineral or distilled water
or any other liquid.
SETTING THE GRINd SIZE
The grind size will affect the rate at which
the water flows through the coffee in the
filter and the flavour of the espresso. When
setting the grind size, it should be fine but
not too fine and powdery.
There are 15 settings - No. 1 is the coarsest
and No. 15 the finest setting on the GRIND
SIZE select dial. We recommend you start at
the No. 10 setting and adjust as required.
GRINdING THE COFFEE
•
Fill the hopper with fresh coffee beans.
•
Place the portafilter into the
grinding cradle.
Press the FILTER SIZE button to select your
filter size (single or double).
AUTOMATIC dOSING
•
Push the portafilter in once to activate the
grinding switch, then allow the portafilter
to be dosed with fresh ground coffee.
•
To stop the grinding function during
single or double dose, simply press the
filter size button.
AdjUSTING THE GRINd AMOUNT
Starting at the nominal 12 o’clock position,
turn the GRIND AMOUNT dial left for less
grind if extraction is too slow or clockwise for
more grind if extraction is too fast.
Increase the grind amount until you get the
correct volume for grind size selected.
When grinding for a Single Wall Filter
using a finer espresso grind, you will need
to increase the grind amount to ensure the
filter is correctly dosed.
NOTE
You may need to adjust the GRIND
AMOUNT dial a few times to achieve
the correct grind amount.
MANUAL dOSING
•
With the portafilter inserted, push and
hold the micro switch down until the
desired amount of ground coffee has
been dosed.
•
To stop the function during a manual
grind function, simply release the
portafilter. This will release the activation
switch to stop the grind function.
TAMPING THE GROUNd COFFEE
•
Once the grind function has been
completed, tap to collapse and using the
integrated tamper, tamp down firmly
(approx. 15-20 kg of pressure).
