Making espresso

1.Place your appliance near an electrical outlet and release enough cord so that you can plug in the machine (2).

2.Place the filter basket (e8) into the filter holder (e9) and rotate basket inside filter holder to secure it (11).

3.Fill with ground espresso. The filter basket is marked on the inside for 2 and 4 cups. Pack the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This will assure proper fit to the brewing head

(12).

ATTENTION !

Do not pack coffee too tightly.

Do not fill more coffee than indicated by the four-cup marking into the filter basket. This might cause clogging or overflow.

4.To insert the filter holder, place the filter handle’s to the left, raise the filter holder up into brewing head and turn the filter holder to the right, until it can go no further.

If the filter holder’s handle does not point toward you in lock position, do not operate the machine. Rather, remove the filter holder and reinsert it as described above (13).

By following this procedure this will prevent the filter holder from being dislodged as pressure builds up during the brewing process.

5.Open the hinged lid and unscrew the boiler cap by turning it counterclockwise (14+15).

6.Fill the boiler container with cold water using the marking indicated on the glass carafe (16).

CAUTION

Never fill the boiler while your appliance is switched on.

Never fill more than 20 oz of water into the boiler.

The glass carafe has markings for 2 and 4 cups.

To froth milk for Cappuccino preparation, add the quantity of water corresponding to the steam level marking on the carafe.

Maximum capacity to the bottom of the metal band around the glass carafe = 4 cups of espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for cappuccino.

CAUTION

Never fill the carafe above the bottom of the metal band!

NOTE

It is very important to fill only the amount of water you need into the boiler. Your appliance will always need to process all the water until the boiler is empty.

7.Close the boiler cap securely by turning it clockwise (17).

8.Place carafe under the filter holder and make sure the slot on carafe lid is right below the filter holder output (18).

ATTENTION :

Make sure the overflow grid (e7) is in place.

9.Make sure the side knob (e2) is set on cup Espresso position. Then turn the selector knob (S) to the left in Espresso ON position. The left indicator will light ON blue (19).

It will take approximately 2 minutes for the water to be heated. The water will then be forced through the ground coffee into the glass carafe.

10.Wait until all the water in the boiler has been used. Switch off the machine by turning the selector knob (S) in middle position.

11.Do not unscrew the boiler cap while the machine is in operation. Wait until brewing cycle is completed and all water and steam have been used (see

CAUTION-PRESSURE).

CAUTION

Use caution when removing the filter holder, as the metal parts may still be hot. After switching off the appliance it is recommended to wait about 2 minutes before removing the filter holder. To
