before making coffee for the first time

1Make sure the variable steam knob is closed by t urning clockwise (don’t overtighten).

2Lift the lid, then lift out the tank and fill with cold wat er. Never fill above the “MAX” level marked. Alternatively lift the lid and fill the tank whilst in position.

●We recommend using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces limescale. Never use fizzy water or any other liquid.

3Re fit the tank. Make sure that it is correctly located and apply light pressure if necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the bottom of the machine.

Important

Never operate the machine without water in the tank. Top up as soon as the level gets low.

4Close the lid.

5Hold the finger grip and swing out the steam nozzle and put a jug underneath.

6Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning it under the coffee outlet and turning to the right ￿. Place a suitably sized container underneath.

7Connect to the power supply then press the on/off button and it will glow orange. At the same time the green coffee ready indicator light will flash. Wait until the green light stops flashing.

8Open the variable steam knob by turning anti-clockwise and press the coffee button and allow one cup of water to flow out of the steam nozzle. Close the variable steam knob and allow one cup of water to flow out of the coffee outlet into the container.

9Press the coffee button to stop the flow, then press the on/off button to switch off the machine.

10Repeat these steps if you haven’t used the coffee maker for a few days.

preheating the coffee machine

To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right temperature it is necessary to pre-heat the coffee unit.

1Check that the variable steam knob is firmly closed (turn clockwise) and that there is sufficient water to heat 1 or 2 cups as required.

2Fit the desired filter into the filter holder (without coffee and making sure that the

tab on the filter fits into the slot on the filter holder). Attach to the machine by positioning it under the coffee outlet and turning to the right ￿. Ensure it is

firmly located.

3Position a cup under the filter holder. Using the same cup that the coffee will be served in will ensure it is preheated.

4Press the on/off button and it will glow orange. At the same time the green coffee ready indicator light will flash. Wait until the green light stops flashing.

5Press the coffee button and it will glow orange, and hot water will dispense into the cup. When the green coffee ready light starts flashing again, press the coffee button to stop the flow.

6Remove the filter holder and proceed to make coffee using either ground coffee or coffee pods.
