Step 1 - filling the water tank

Ensure the Power On/Off button is ‘Off’, the Selector Control is in the center ‘Standby’ position and the power cord is removed from the power outlet.

Remove the Portafilter if locked into the Group Head and move the Steam Wand to the side of the machine.

NOTE

Always check the water level before use and replace water daily. Use cold, preferably filtered water. Do not use mineral or distilled water or any other liquid.

Remove the Water Tank by gripping the handle insert.

When the Water Tank is removed a black tube extends out from the Water Tank storage area. Do not touch or try to remove this tube, it will automatically slide back into position when the Water Tank is reinserted.

Fill the Water Tank with cold, preferably filtered water to the MAX mark. Slide the Water Tank carefully back into position. Ensure it aligns flush with the sides of the machine.

Step 2 - Preparing the coffee

Place the 1 Cup Filter or 2 Cup Filter into the Portafilter. Use the 1 Cup Filter when brewing a single cup and the 2 Cup Filter when brewing two cups or a stronger single cup or mug.

With the provided Measuring/Tamping Spoon, measure 1 level spoon of ground espresso coffee for the 1 Cup Filter or 2 level spoons for the 2 Cup Filter. Always ensure to use ground coffee suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines (refer to 'Hints & Tips', page 19).
