1. Ensure that the espresso machine is cold. Unscrew it by
holding the water container (9.) with one hand and with
the other hand the upper body (2.), which collects the
brewed coffee, anti clockwise, i.e. to the left.
2. Remove the coffee funnel (6.) from the water container
(9.). To make 6 cups of coffee fill the water container
with fresh water to the MAX. mark.
IMPORTANT:
Never use your espresso coffee maker with an
empty water container; never use warm water in
an effort to speed up the preparation of coffee.
3. Insert the coffee funnel (6.) in the water container (9.).
4. Fill the coffee funnel with ground coffee, do not com-
pact the coffee. Put the ground coffee into the funnel in
small quantities, using a spoon to prevent overfilling the
funnel and spilling ground coffee. Distribute the ground
coffee evenly and wipe any excess from the rim of the
funnel.
IMPORTANT: Use only high quality ground
coffee of medium grind, suitable for espresso
coffee machines.
5. Firmly screw the espresso machine together by holding
the water container with one hand and with the other

position. (i.e. the appliance is switched off)
IMPORTANT: Before initial use of the espresso
machine, clean all its accessories and the riser pipe
with warm water.
Never open the lid while the appliance is in operation
– risk of scalding!
