Coffee preparation
n
Wait until the TEMPERATURE light (h6) stops flashing, therefore indicating that the appliance has
reached the optimum temperature for making an espresso coffee. Your appliance is now ready for use.
n
Turn the espresso button
or
to the right to activate the ESPRESSO function. The pump operates
briefly to pre-wet the ground coffee and then stops for a few seconds and starts again to dispense the
coffee.
IMPORTANT
This pre-brewing process ensures even greater release of the coffee aroma.

n
Wait a few seconds until the surplus water in the thermo block has been drained (until the “suction

NOTE
A little steam may be released from the water tank. This is completely normal.
n
Remove the cup(s) then unlock the filter holder by turning it from right to left until it can be
released from the group head.

Be careful as some steam may be released from the dispensing unit.
