Using your coffee
maker for the first time
Take your coffee maker out of the box
and remove the packaging.
Before using the coffee for the first time,
clean thoroughly by operating two or three
times with the maximum volume of fresh
water (6 cups) but without using coffee.
Wash the detachable parts of the
machine in warm soapy water.
Making a perfect
espresso coffee
1
Unscrew the pressure cap
⁄
by turning
it anti-clockwise.
2
To fill the water tank
¤
use your glass
jug
Â
to measure the volume of water
required. The jug is marked with the
water levels for 2 cups (minimum), 4
cups and 6 cups (maximum).
Always switch the machine off and
remove the plug from the socket before
filling the water tank. Care should be
taken to ensure that the correct quantity
of water is placed in the tank, as the
machine always uses all the water.
3
Close the pressure cap tightly by turning
it clockwise.
4
Place the washable metal filter
›
into
the filter holder
fl
and add the desired
quantity of coffee to the filter using the
measuring spoon provided. Special
marks on the inside of the filter show the
correct levels for 2, 4 and 6 cups of
coffee. Using the flat end of the spoon
lightly compress the coffee down.
Remove excess coffee from the edge of
the filter.
5
Position the filter holder underneath the
water outlet
‚
, push it upwards and turn
it to the right into the locked position to
fix it onto your coffee machine.
Note : Push firmly to the right to lock into
position.
6
Your machine is fitted with a strength
selector
‹
which allows you to make
LIGHT to STRONG coffee. Set the
strength selector mid way between
LIGHT and STRONG for MEDIUM
strength coffee.
7
Place your glass jug with the lid on the
drip tray
‡
and
·
directly under the
spout of the filter holder, ensuring that
the jug handle is pointing outwards from
the unit. Press the on/off switch
„
to
‘ON’ and the orange light will glow. The
coffee will start to flow from the filter
holder spout after about 2 or 3 minutes.
Wait until all the water from the water
tank has flowed into your glass jug and
the green light glows.
8
Set the on/off switch to ‘OFF’.
9
When the filtering process is complete
remove the glass jug from your coffee
maker and pour the coffee into your
cups.
10
Unplug machine and allow to cool.
Slowly remove the pressure cap.
11
To remove the used coffee grounds,
remove the filter holder by turning the
handle to the left until you find that the
filter holder drops down. Flip the filter
retaining clip
fi
so that it retains the
filter. Turn the filter upside down and
knock out the grounds. Flip the retaining
clip back along the handle before the
next use.
Note: Due to the amount of steam lost
through the process, the coffee produced
will be less than the water put in. This is
accounted for in the amount to put in.
