IMPORTANT - While performing the following procedure, ensure that the filling
level in the water tank does not drop below the MIN filling line. Additionally, ensu-
re to empty the bowl in time and replace it under the group head and steam wand.
5. Press the 2 espressi button for pumping hot water through the group head. Leave
the machine operate until the hot water flow stops automatically.
6. Turn the selection dial counter-clockwise to the steam icon for pumping steam
through the steam wand. After approx. 10 seconds, turn the selection dial back
to the vertical standby position for stopping the steam flow. If required, empty
the bowl and replace it under the group head and steam wand.
IMPORTANT - When pressing an espresso button immediately after producing
steam, the water system may still be too hot for brewing espresso. In this case, the
espresso button flashes without water coming out. You need to wait some seconds
until the water flows. The delay is required for cooling the water system to the cor-
rect espresso temperature.
7. Monitoring the filling level in the water tank, repeat the last 2 steps (5 and 6)
at least 10 times. If required, intermediately fill the water tank with cold water
again.
8. After flushing the water system, the appliance is ready for operation.
OPERATION
WARNING – Do not leave young children without supervision, if the
espresso machine in in their reach. Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately.
Only use vessels made of heat-resistant materials (e.g. china, metal) for ope-
ration! Due to the extreme local heating when texturing milk, even heat-resi-
stant glass could crack and plastic could melt, resulting in splinters, particles and
harmful chemicals getting into your beverages. Additionally, hot liquid could run
out, causing injuries and damage.
For various useful tips concerning the use of the machine, please refer to ‘Tips for
Best Results’. An overview of the properties of your new espresso machine is given
in chapter ‘Properties of Your New Espresso Machine’).
IMPORTANT - Before each use of the machine, check the filling level in the water
tank. We recommend to change the water at least every day. For operation, only
fill clear tap water or low-mineral, non-carbonated table water into the water tank.
Do NOT use high-mineral water or distilled or highly filtered water, as this will
affect the taste of your coffee and the functioning of your machine unfavourably
(see: ‘Tips for Best Results / The Water Quality’).
IMPORTANT - Descale the appliance in time to avoid damage and high energy
loss due to excessive deposits of lime (see: ‘Care and Cleaning / Descaling the
Appliance’). The water hardness and usage are crucial for the frequency of desca-
ling. As a rule of thumb, descale the water system after 6-20 litres flowed through,
or at the latest, when the descaling indicator illuminates.
IMPORTANT - If the appliance has not been used for more than a week,, we
recommend to flush the water system before using the appliance again (see:
‘Before First Use / Flushing the Water System’).
FILLING THE WATER TANK
CAUTION – Do not tilt the water tank or attempt to push it sidewise, when
removing or installing the water tank, to avoid damage to the valves at the bottom
of the water tank or at the water intake of the appliance. Always move the water
tank vertically for removing or installing the water tank.
NOTE
When the water tank sticks stubbornly within the machine, it may be easier to
remove the water tank by holding it at both sides.
1. Grasp the water tank lid at the rear of the appliance und pull it upwards. There-
after you can fold the water tank lid back for filling the water tank. However, it
is better to pull out the water tank from the rear of the machine. For this, grasp
the water tank lid and pull it vertically upwards.
2. Fill the water tank up to the MAX filling level with clear, cold drinking water (tap
water or low-mineral, non-caronated table water). Do not use mineral water,
de-mineralised water, or highly filtered water. Ensure that the exterior of the
water tank is completely dry.
3. At the rear of the appliance, slide the water tank vertically down. Close the
water tank lid by pushing it down carefully, When the water tank is installed
correctly, the water tank lid levels up with the top of the appliance. If required,
gently press down the water tank.
