it back.
- Lift out the water container.
- Fill the container with (non-
carbonated) cold water while
observing the ‘Max’ marking on the
water container.
- Once filled, replace the container in
the appliance and push it down in
order to open the valve in the bottom.
- Close the lid on the water container.
● The water level must be monitored
and, if necessary, the container
refilled in good time.
● Should the pump have started sucking
in air from the empty water container,
fill the water container first with the
indicated maximum amount of water.
When ‘bleeding’ the system
afterwards, it may take a few
moments before water is emitted
again.
● Deposits of dirt and lime may cause
the seals in the outlet at the bottom of
the water container and those around
the valves to leak. Check the seals
carefully each time the water
container is inserted and, if necessary,
carefully remove any existing
deposits.

Inserting/removing the filter holder
- The filter holder is fitted to the
appliance by means of a bayonet type
locking socket. When attaching the
filter holder, its handle must be facing
to the left of the boiler outlet (picture
I). To lock, turn the filter holder
firmly as far as possible to the right,
i.e. in an anti-clockwise direction
(picture II).
- To unlock and remove the filter
holder, turn it to the left, i.e.
clockwise.
● Do not remove the filter holder while
the appliance is in use, since the filter
holder is under pressure. Once the
brewing cycle is complete, wait
around 30 seconds before removing
the filter holder.

Hot-water/steam selector button
This selector allows you to choose either
hot water or steam.
- To dispense hot water, the button
must be in its released position. The
hot water can now be drawn through
either the boiler outlet or the steam
outlet.
- To dispense steam, the selector
button must be pushed in. The steam
can be drawn through the steam
nozzle using the valve selector
control.
-
Preheating the cups and the filter holder
We recommend pre-heating the cups
and the filter holder, as this will ensure a
higher coffee temperature.
- Insert the appropriate filter sieve for 1
or 2 cups into the filter holder.
- Fit the filter holder to the appliance
and place one or two cups underneath
the holder.
- As soon as the operating temperature
has been reached, the green
temperature indicator light comes on.
- Turn the valve selector control to the
symbol.
- Let the cup(s) fill up to approximately
3
/
4
, and then turn the valve selector
control to its neutral position to
switch off the pump.
- Put the cup(s) aside to warm up and
pour out the water just prior to
making espresso.
The cups may also be placed on the
warming top to pre-heat them.
-
Filling the filter sieve with ground
coffee / removing the coffee grounds
- Filling with ground coffee
- Remove the preheated filter holder
(Caution: the filter holder is hot).
- Fill with finely ground coffee:
- 1 cup = 1 level measuring scoop
- 2 cups = 2 level measuring scoops
Note: if the filter holder is over-
filled, it will not lock properly under
the boiler outlet. 2 level measuring
