NOTE

If you wish to cancel a running extraction, simply press the extraction button (SIN-

GLE or DOUBLE) below the illuminated espresso icon. You used this button for

starting the extraction.

18. Place one or two pre-warmed cups below the portafilter spouts.

19. Ensure that the filling level in the water tank reaches at least the “MIN” marking.

Then start the extraction by pressing the SINGLE button (1 espresso) or the DOU-

BLE button (2 espressi). The espresso icon above the selected espresso button

stays illuminated, while the other funciton icons get dark. The espresso machine

performs the extraction automatically.

20. When the extraction is finished, wait another 10 seconds (slowly count to 10)

for the espresso machine to release the pressure.

AFTER THE EXTRACTION

WARNING - RISK OF BURNS – The metal parts of the portafilter

and group head („THERMOBLOCK“) will be hot during the extraction and there-

after. Only touch the portafilter by the black handle. Cool down the portafilter via

cold water, before touching the metal parts of the portafilter or filter basket with

your hands. When removing the portafilter from the group head, hot water could

be in the portafilter. Remove the portafilter carefully to avoid spilling hot water.

IMPORTANT - Do not leave the coffee powder dry on the fine mesh of the filter

basket. Thoroughly rinse the filter basket after each extraction. Otherwise, the fine

mesh could get clogged up.

1. After the extraction, first remove your cup from the drip tray and place it onto the

warming tray.

2. Remove the portafilter from the group head. For this, ensuring not to touch the

metal parts, hold the portafilter by the black handle and turn the portafilter left

to the “INSERT” position. Then lower the portafilter down from the group head,

holding the portafilter level. With water in the portafilter, you may place the por-

tafilter onto the drip tray beneath the grinder cradle to leave the water run out.

Ensure that the portafilter will not fall.

3. Immediately after the extraction, you should rinse the group head WITHOUT the

portafilter for removing residues of coffee powder from the steam screen (at the

bottom of the group head). For this, press the SINGLE button and wait until the

cycle is finished.
