• 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.

- place a small jug (200ml min.) under the steam
pipe;
- open the steam pipe by turning the steam
control knob anti-clockwise;
- switch on the appliance (On/Off) (J);
- switch on the pump k;
- when you have filled the jug, switch off the
pump k and close the steam control knob
(clockwise).
Then the appliance is ready for further use.
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.
