Move the group lever into the upper position. When the cup is filled, move the brew group lever into the lower
position.
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds disposal will squirt out of the
brew group while taking out the filter holder. This may cause injuries.

Dispensing of hot water
To dispense larger quantities of hot water, follow the instructions below:
Place an adequate water container (with a heat-insulated handle) under the hot water dispenser and open the hot
water handle. Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries or hot water
spillings. If you move the power switch to “0”, it is possible to dispense approx. 1.0-1.2 l of hot water. Therefore,
open the hot water valve. After dispensing water, switch the machine on. The boiler will be refilled with fresh water
automatically.
Advice:
If you want to dispense only small quantities of hot water (e. g. 1 tea cup), you do not have to switch the
machine off.
10 Dispensing of steam
The BARISTA makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages, e.g. milk or
punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam volume, superior to usual
household units. Therefore, within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions
below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.
Important:
In order to get the best result when frothing milk, open the steam handle for approx. 5 seconds to release
the condensation water in the pipe. Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) into the milk. Now
re-open the steam handle. Heat or froth the liquid. Always place the nozzle just underneath the surface of the liquid
to avoid sprayings
(danger of injury)
. After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes
of the steam nozzle clean.
Advice:
Always clean the steam nozzle and the steam dispenser after every application with a non-abrasive, damp
cloth.
Attention:
While cleaning, avoid skin contact with the steam dispenser
(danger of injury)
.
11 Cleaning
Regular and accurate care is very important for the performance, longevity and the operational safety of your
machine.
Important:
Always disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine (power switch in position “0”). Make
sure you have plugged the power cord from the outlet and let the machine cool down to ambient temperature (for at
least 30 minutes).
Filter holder, filters, water tank, drip tray, drip tray grid, measuring-spoon and tamper require daily cleaning. Clean
with warm water and/or a food safe detergent.
Clean the shower screen and the group gasket in the lower part of the group with a hard brush and remove visible
dirt without disassembling the parts.
Cleaning as necessary:
Clean the body, when
the machine is switched off and cold. Please use a soft and damp cloth.
Never use abrasive detergents!
Emptying the water drip tray:
Please
empty the water drip tray regularly. Do not wait until it is full.
Cleaning and degreasing the brew group:
A brew group cleaner (in powder or tablet form) is available at your
specialty dealer. With this detergent, you can easily clean and degrease the brew group. The cleaning can be carried
out using the blind filter included with delivery. The brew group cleaning with ECM cleaning tablets can be carried
out every week.
