5. FIRST USE
Rinsing before first use
Before using your coffee machine, clean all of the accessories in mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly
and then dry them.
• Ensure the Power switch and Selector control are set to ‘OFF’ position. Turn off at the power outlet and
unplug the power cord. Lift up the water tank and fill with cold water to the maximum mark and place in
the machine, pressing down firmly so that it is secure. Close the water tank lid.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button d2.
• The temperature light flashes, once the flashing stops the appliance is ready for use
(fig. 2).
• Insert the filter holder (without ground coffee) into the appliance: turn it towards the right as far as possible
(fig. 3).
• Place a large container with a volume of more than 1/2 litre underneath the filter holder
(fig. 4). Turn the
selector dial d1 to the position (coffee)
(fig. 5).
• Let the water run from the tank. To stop the flow of water, turn the selector dial d1 to the position “0” (fig.
6) and unplug the appliance.
•
Remove the tank, empty it and rinse it carefully. Then securely place it back into the appliance (fig. 7 and 8).
6. PREPARING AN ESPRESSO
With ground coffee
• Before removing the removable tank, place the selector dial d1 in the “0”
position
(fig. 6).
•
Fill the tank with cold water and securely fit it back into the appliance (fig. 7 et 8).
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button d2.
• The LED flashes while the machine is warming up, and once ready it remains lit,
it is now ready for use.
For best results, we recommend warming up the accessories beforehand (filter
holder and cups) without adding any ground coffee. Proceed as follows:
• Securely fit the empty filter holder and place the espresso cups directly
underneath it. As soon as the appliance has reached the right temperature, the
orange LED stops flashing.
• Press the 2 cup or 1 cup button according to what you require.
• Once the cup(s) are filled with hot water, move the selector back to the "0"
position.
•
Release the filter holder by pressing the "EJECT" button lightly and turning it
towards the left
(fig. 1). Using the measuring spoon, place the ground coffee into
the filter holder: one measuring spoon (filled to the top) per cup for a good
espresso (fig. 9). It is important to use the correct amount of coffee as the filter
perforations have been constructed for optimal pressure build up in the machine.
IMPORTANT!
If the espresso
machine is being used
for the first time, the
appliance must be
cleaned as described
in section 5
“FIRST USE”.
Coffee
It is recommended that you use pre-ground coffee as it ensures a richer and flavoursome coffee. Pre-ground
coffee will retain its flavour for up to 1 week, if preserved in a tightly sealed container and stored in a cool,
dark area. Do not store the ground coffee in a refrigerator or freezer. Pre-ground coffee stored in a container
will keep up to 1 month prior to going stale.
The Grind
If using pre-ground coffee, ensure you purchase an espresso grind. The grind should be fine, but not too fine
otherwise it will affect the taste and the rate of water that flows through it. Too fine a grind means the coffee
will not flow through even under pressure. If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow too quickly, preventing
a flavoured extraction.
