How to prepare the espresso coffee

1Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it anti-clockwise.

2Using the carafe supplied (fig. 1) pour water into the boiler (fig. 2) according to the amounts shown in the table on page 10.

Do not exceed the amounts shown as this could cause the appliance to malfunction.

While filling the boiler make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

3Carefully close the boiler cap by turning it clockwise.

4Insert the filter into the filter-holder. (fig. 3).

5Fill the filter with ground coffee using the measures described in the table (page 10) about 7 g per cup. Fill the filter evenly in small doses to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing. (fig. 4).

IMPORTANT: Before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure there is no coffee left from previous usage. It is important to use medium ground coffee. (Avoid using too finely ground coffee otherwise the filter can become blocked).

6Remove any excess coffee from the filter rim (fig. 5).

7Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the han- dle to the left of the boiler outlet, then pushing upwards and turning the handle to the right (fig. 6).

8Place the carafe with the lid on the drip tray, make sure the nozzles on the filter holder fit inside the opening on the carafe’s lid (fig. 7).

Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.
