PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Each individual espresso maker is checked at the factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking the appliance, you should check carefully that it has not been damaged during transport.
Place the espresso maker on a flat, stable surface, such as a kitchen counter.
Flushing through
The espresso maker should be flushed through before it is used for the first time.
•Pour water into the reservoir (3) up to the MAX mark.
oThe reservoir can be filled while it is on the espresso maker, or alternatively it can be taken off and filled directly under
the tap and then put back into place. Remember to put the lid on when the reservoir has been filled. When replacing the reservoir, ensure that the valve in the bottom of the reservoir fits into the connector on the espresso maker itself.
•Check that the steam regulator (2) is completely closed by turning it clockwise, as otherwise water will come out of the steam nozzle (4) when you flush it through.
•Place a container (e.g. a large cup) beneath the brewing head (15), to catch any water dripping down.
•Turn the on/off knob (14) on the control panel (1) to brewing position (d). The red LED over the heating position (c) goes on.
