How to prepare espresso coffee
Filling the water tank
To remove the water tank lift the lid (fig.1) and simply pull upwards (fig 2) and fill the tank at the sink (fig 3). Do not exceed the MAX level on the water tank. The tank may also be filled with- out removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug. Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom of the tank with the hole in the base on the machine.
WARNING: it is completely normal for there to be water in the compartment under the tank; as a result, this compartment should be dried using a clean sponge.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank and always remember to fill the tank when the level drops to a couple of centimetres from the bottom.
Preheating the coffee machine
To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right tempera- ture it is essential that the coffee unit is preheated.
1.Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 4).
2.Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine by positioning it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (fig. 5). Push upwards and at the same time turn the handle as far right as possible. It does not matter if the handle is not centrally aligned with the machine, as long as the filter holder is firmly attached to the appliance.
3.Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated. Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig. 6), then immediately press the coffee knob (fig. 7). Allow the water to run until the OK indicator light goes out, then stop the water by pressing the coffee button again (fig. 7).
4.Empty the cup, wait until the “OK” pilot light comes on again and repeat the whole operation one more time.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off when removing the filter holder).
