• Inside the Espresso machine water is
heated up. This water will expand and
as a result some drops may leak from
the steam pipe and/or the water outlet
opening. This is quite normal. Do not
forget to move the steam pipe
backwards into a position over the grid if
you do not wish to use it.
• The Espresso machine is protected
against damage due to overheating.
When pumping too long, the pump is
automatically switched off.
If this happens, switch the appliance
completely off and let it cool down for
approx. 45 minutes. Then remove air.
After this you can use the Espresso
machine again.
- Fill the water tank
(figs. 2 and 3 ).
Do not forget to insert
the suction tube
(fig. 4).
- Pump about half a
tankful of water
through the appliance
as described in
section "Espresso",
but without ground Espresso coffee in the filter.
It is advisable to perform this operation again
after a period of disuse.
Espresso
Espresso is made by pumping hot water
rapidly and at a high pressure through ground
Espresso type coffee.
This tasty Espresso is best served in special
small-sized cups (50 ml).
• Your Espresso coffee will be at optimum
(hot!) temperature, if the filter holder is
screwed into place while the machine is
heating up.
• You can pre-heat your cups by rinsing
them with hot tap water.
- Ensure that there is enough water in the tank.
- Switch the appliance on. The two pilot lights will
come on (fig. 5).
- Insert the 1 cup filter or the 2 cups filter into the
filter holder (fig. 6).
