How to prepare espresso coffee
Filling the water tank
Remove the tank by pulling sideways and lifting the intake tubes out of the water (fig. 1).
Rinse and fill with clean cold water (fig 2).The water level is shown by a floating ball. Replace the tank in the housing, making sure the tubes are in the water.
More simply, fill the tank by extracting it just enough to pour in the water directly from a jug.
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. 3).
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. 4). 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. 5), then immediately press the coffee button (fig. 6). Allow the water to run until the OK indicator light goes out, then stop the water by pressing the coffee button again (fig. 6).
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).
