GETTING STARTED
- Check that voltage of the appliance is the same as that indicated on the technical information
plate of the appliance.
- Place the appliance on a flat surface, ensuring that suction cups stick firmly to the surface.
- Fill the tank with cold water, taking care that it is correctly re-inserted in its housing.
- Insert the plug into the A/C outlet, which must be grounded.
- Now the power light (J) is red.
- Press the switch (M) to right (expresso mark L) to turn on the machine. The internal boiler has
begun to heat up. Till the indicator light (N) is green, press the expresso supply switch pump (O)
and then water is seen coming from the filter basket.
- If you are starting the machine for the first time or after a period of non-use, it is recommended
that at least one cup of water be allowed to pass through the boiler’s hydraulic circuit. This can be
achieved by turning knob (B) in an anti-clockwise direction after placing a cup under the nozzle of
the maxi cappuccino attachment (C), turn on switch (O) until seeing the clean water out of the
cappuccino attachment. Then close the knob (B) turning it in a clockwise direction and switching
off the switch (O) to stop water from being emitted.
THE MACHINE IS READY TO MAKE COFFEE WHEN THE INDICATOR LIGHT (N) GOES ON.
HOW TO MAKE COFFEE
- Measure out the coffee into the filter. For a double expresso shot, use two full measuring scoops
and for a single expresso shot, use one scoop.
- Insert the filter basket into position. Turn the filter basket anti-clockwise 40 to 45 degrees, or as far
as possible without using excessive pressure.
- A pre-heating time of 8/10 minutes is recommended, with the filter basket inserted to ensure a nice
hot first shot of expresso. For subsequent shots, this will not be necessary.
- The warning light (N) will go on and off from time to time, indicating that the boiler thermostat is
keeping the water at the correct temperature. We suggest that both first and subsequent shots be
made only when this light is green. Press button pump (O).
- Coffee will begin to flow through the filter basket nozzle.
- To stop the flow, press button (O) again.
- As with commercial-grade coffee machines, do not remove the filter basket when the supply
switch (O) is turned on. After having made the expresso, gradually loosen the filter basket by
turning it in a clockwise direction in order to reduce the internal pressure.
- If you cannot loose the handle, turn steam controller (B) to release the pressure and then turn
steam controller clockwise, you could succeed in loosening the filter basket.
- No special operation is necessary when the water in the tank runs out as the machine is equipped
with a special self-priming device. Just unplug the machine, pull out the tank and fill it with water
again.
