Note:
We recommend to use clear tap water or a low-mineral table water with the appli-
ance. Do not use highly filtered water or mineral water.
Remove the drip tray with caution, when it is filled, to avoid spilling the contents. For
this. lift the drip tray a little at the front side, then slowly pull it out.
MAKING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE READY FOR OPERATION
1. Ensure that the water tank is filled sufficiently (filling level between MIN and MAX)
and assembled correctly. Check it the drip tray is empty and installed correctly in
the base of the appliance.
2. Connect the appliance to the power supply and press the POWER button to
switch on.Wait until the appliance reaches the pre-selected operating tempera-
ture and the POWER button is illuminated continuously (after approx. 2 minutes).
The espresso machine is now in standby mode, ready for the next step.
3. Select the required filter basket: 1 cup filter basket, 2 cups filter basket, or pad
filter basket (for espresso pads). The filter baskets are labelled via icons on the
back (see: ‘Selecting the Appropriate Filter Basket’).
Note:
Use the 1 cup filter basket for brewing approx. 30 ml espresso. Use the 2 cups filter
basket for approx. 60 ml
espresso. For espresso pads, select the designated pad
filter basket
and insert only one espresso pad.
4. Ensure that the mesh of the filter basket and portafilter are clean. If the pores of
the filter basket are blocked, clean the filter basket first (see: ‘Cleaning the Filter
Basket and Portafilter’). Then place the filter basket into the portafilter and press
the filter basket down until there is no gap left between the filter basket and por-
tafilter.
PRE-HEATING
WARNING: Only use heat-resistant cups, mugs, and glasses. Other materials
could burst, break, or melt. This way, splinters or other particles could get into your
coffee, causing severe injuries.
TIP: A warm cup will help maintaining the coffee’s optimal temperature. As well, a
cold portafilter and filter basket can reduce the extraction temperature significantly,
thus affecting the quality of your espresso. Thus, you should pre-heat the portafilter
and filter basket with hot water from the hot water / steam wand before usage. The-
