FILLING THE BEAN HOPPER

IMPORTANT - Only fill dry, whole and fresh coffee beans into the bean hopper of

the espresso machine. Do not use pre-ground coffee powder or moist coffee beans

to avoid damage to the grinder.

If you wish to operate the grinder, ensure that a sufficient amount of fresh, whole cof-

fee beans is in the bean hopper (max. 230 g). Do not overfill the bean hopper. The

hopper lid must be closed correctly after filling. Otherwise, the flavour of your coffee

beans diminishes rapidly and your espresso gets tasteless and stale.

Simply remove the bean hopper lid for filling.

INSTALLING THE FILTER BASKET

The » Design Espresso Barista Pro « comes with different filter baskets. For getting the

optimum results, you need to use the appropriate filter basket (see: ‘Properties of Your

Espresso Machine / Selecting the Appropriate Filter Basket’).

CAUTION – Do not use violence! A spring within the portafilter holds the

filter basket in place. Do not bend the rim of the filter basket. If the rim is bent, the

filter basket must be replaced, because the seal between filter basket, group head

and portafilter will be leaking. Only use one single filter basket.

8. If required, remove the filter basket already installed. For this, it is best to use the

back of the provided cleaning brush for lifting the filter basket out carefully.

9. If required, rinse portafilter and filter basket for removing residues of coffee pow-

der (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).

10. Push the required filter basket into the portafilter until it snaps with a click.

PRE-HEATING THE WATER SYSTEM

11. Connect the espresso machine to an appropriate wall power outlet (see: ‘Impor-

tant Safeguards for Electrical Appliances’).

12. Ensure that the control dial is turned to the central standby position. Then press

the ON/OFF button. The standby icon starts flashing slowly and the grinder icon

illuminates. As soon as the water system reaches the required operating tempe-

rature, the standby icon illuminates continuously (approx. 1 minute).

NOTE

The grinder may be used immediately after switching on the machine.
