Guide to the perfect espresso (continued)

Pre-Infusion

11.Once the espresso operation has been activated, before the espresso pour starts, the progressive pre-infusion feature will release three short bursts of gradually increasing water pressure onto the coffee cake. After this, the full water pressure is applied to the coffee cake and the espresso will pour freely.

12.Check the espresso pour. The ideal pour starts out dark and then soon after becomes caramel with reddish reflections. The pour should hang vertically on each spout and flow slowly like dripping honey.

Tip: Once the espresso pour starts to lighten in colour you should cut off the pour.

13. Serve espresso immediately.

Caring for your Espresso Machine

13.Remove the group handle from the group head (21).

14.Discard the used coffee grinds from the filter basket (22).

Tip: After each use of the espresso machine we recommend that a small amount of water is cycled through the group head as this will wash out any old or used coffee grinds stuck to the underside of the group head. Simply press the ‘MANUAL’ button and allow some water to run through. Press button again

to stop. We also recommend that a small amount of water is purged through the steam wand after each use.

Eco Mode and Standby Mode

After 1 hour of non-use in Ready Mode the espresso machine will automatically switch to Eco Mode. An indication that the machine is in Eco Mode is the light on the ‘POWER’ button will slowly flash red. While in Eco Mode the machine uses reduced power and maintains a lower temperature. While in Eco Mode, the espresso machine functions can easily be reactivated by simply pressing the ‘MANUAL’, ‘SINGLE’, ‘DOUBLE’, ‘STEAM’ or ‘HOT WATER’ buttons. The temperature of the espresso machine will then adjust as necessary.

After a further 1 hour of non-use in Eco Mode the espresso machine will automatically switch to Standby Mode. The lights on the control panel will all switch off. To bring the espresso machine out of Standby Mode simply press the ‘POWER’ button.

The machine will then power on and begin heating up.
