Preparing your espresso machine before use

1.Place the espresso machine onto a dry, stable benchtop.

2.Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place.

3.Fill the espresso machine with water. There are a couple of ways in which the water reservoir can be filled;

a)  Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at the top of the espresso machine (1) and using a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered water (2), then close the lid.

b)  Alternatively the water reservoir can be removed and filled with fresh cold water. To do so, ensure the group handle has been taken out of the group head and swing the steam wand to the right, out of the way. Then using the handle at the front of the water reservoir simply slide out the reservoir from the front of the espresso machine (3). Then fill with fresh cold water or filtered water (4). Replace the water reservoir firmly by sliding it back into place (5).

4.Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and switch the power on. Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the espresso machine on (6). The light behind the 'POWER' button will illuminate green and start flashing. This is to indicate that your espresso machine is on and is heating up.

When the green light behind the ‘POWER’ button stops flashing and turns to a constant red light, this indicates that the espresso machine is heated and ready

to use. The lights behind the 'COFFEE', 'STEAM' and 'HOT WATER' buttons will also show a constant green light (7). When the control panel is lit in this way, this indicates that the machine is in ready mode.

5.Place glasses and cups on the warming plate (8).

Important: For first time use or if the machine has not been used for some time, it is important that the machine is rinsed as follows:

6.Fit the group handle with either the single or double filter basket (9). Secure the group handle to the group head (10) (11).

7.Place a sufficiently large container under both pouring spouts (12).

8.Once the espresso machine is switched on and heated, so the light behind the ‘POWER’ button is red and the lights behind the 'COFFEE', 'STEAM' and 'HOT WATER' buttons show a constant green light, the espresso machine is heated and ready to use.

Tip: Remember if the ‘POWER’ light is flashing green, this indicates that the espresso machine is on and is heating up.

9.Press the 'COFFEE' button (13) and allow the water to run through until the water reservoir is empty.

Note: You will need to press the 'COFFEE' button again to stop the water flow. It does not happen automatically. This allows the user to have full control over their espresso pour.
