TIPS FOR OPERATION
Getting a great tasting delicious coffee is a process that is influenced by several chan-
geable components. For example: the sort of coffee that is used, the consistency and
fineness of the coffee powder and the amount of coffee powder that is used. Using a
manual espresso machine it also depends on the pressure (minimum 15 bar), amount
and temperature of the water and the pressure with which the powder is pressed into
the filter. In general you should pay attention to the following:
• For best flavour, store coffee beans in an airtight container.
• Grind coffee beans immediately before brewing.
• The strongness of the coffee depends on the grind fineness and the amount of coffee
powder. The finer the coffee powder and the more coffee powder is used the stronger
the taste and the more caffeine you will get.
• Coffee flavour and strength is a personal preference. Vary the type of coffee beans,
amount of coffee and fineness of grind to find the flavour you prefer.
TIPS FOR THE GRIND
• The coffee must be finely ground, but not too fine (the correct grind should look gritty,
like salt or sand).
• If the grind is too fine, the water, when brewing, will not flow through the coffee even
under pressure (this grind looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between
fingers).
• If the grind is too coarse, the water, when brewing, will flow too fast through the cof-
fee, preventing a full flavoured extraction.
IMPORTANT:
Do not overload the motor with food that is oversized or too hard. Turn
the appliance OFF ›O‹ as soon as the motor stalls or stucks to avoid overheating of the
motor.
CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE MOTOR HOUSING
WARNING: Do not
place the appliance or any parts of it in an automatic dish-
washer or pour boiling water over it. Do not immerse the motor or power cord in any
liquids or spill any liquids on it or place the motor on wet surfaces. Always wipe off spil-
led liquids immediately. When liquids are spilled on the motor housing, immediately
unplug the appliance and dry the motor housing to avoid risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not
attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or in the motor housing.
1. Always turn the appliance OFF ›O‹, wait for the motor to stop completely, and unplug
the appliance from the power outlet before you start cleaning the motor housing.
2. Wipe the motor housing and power cord with a damp soft cloth. Take care not to
spill or drip water or any other liquids on the motor housing.
ATTENTION:
Ensure not to damage the Grinding Gear. Never poke with anything into
the motor housing. If necessary use a soft brush for cleaning. If any liquids run into the
motor housing clean and dry the motor housing very carefully.
3. Thoroughly dry the motor housing after each cleaning or leave it dry naturally where
it is out of reach of young children. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Afterwards assemble
the appliance.
4. You can take out the outer ring of the Grinding Gear for clea-
ning. Use a small soft brush for cleaning it. Do not use water for
cleaning. Water can damage the Grinding Gear or the units might
rust. Watch the cannelure when assembling the Grinding Gear.
Ensure the outer ring of the Grinding Gear is lockered into position
and properly assembled (you might have to turn the unti a little bit
to place it in the cavity).
Attendance:
You do not need to oil the motor. Clean the units only as described in
the instructions.
