Using your coffee maker for the first time
Take your coffee maker out of the box and remove the packaging.
Before using the coffee for the first time, clean thoroughly by operating two or three times with the maximum volume of fresh water (6 cups) but without using coffee.
Wash the detachable parts of the machine in warm soapy water.
Making a perfect espresso coffee
1Unscrew the pressure cap ⁄ by turning it
2To fill the water tank ¤ use your glass jug  to measure the volume of water required. The jug is marked with the water levels for 2 cups (minimum), 4 cups and 6 cups (maximum).
Always switch the machine off and remove the plug from the socket before filling the water tank. Care should be taken to ensure that the correct quantity of water is placed in the tank, as the machine always uses all the water.
3Close the pressure cap tightly by turning it clockwise.
4Place the washable metal filter › into the filter holder fl and add the desired quantity of coffee to the filter using the measuring spoon provided. Special marks on the inside of the filter show the correct levels for 2, 4 and 6 cups of coffee. Using the flat end of the spoon lightly compress the coffee down. Remove excess coffee from the edge of the filter.
5Position the filter holder underneath the water outlet ‚, push it upwards and turn it to the right into the locked position to fix it onto your coffee machine.
Note : Push firmly to the right to lock into position.
6Your machine is fitted with a strength selector ‹ which allows you to make LIGHT to STRONG coffee. Set the strength selector mid way between LIGHT and STRONG for MEDIUM strength coffee.
7Place your glass jug with the lid on the drip tray ‡ and · directly under the spout of the filter holder, ensuring that the jug handle is pointing outwards from the unit. Press the on/off switch „ to ‘ON’ and the orange light will glow. The coffee will start to flow from the filter holder spout after about 2 or 3 minutes. Wait until all the water from the water tank has flowed into your glass jug and the green light glows.
8Set the on/off switch to ‘OFF’.
9When the filtering process is complete remove the glass jug from your coffee maker and pour the coffee into your cups.
10Unplug machine and allow to cool.
Slowly remove the pressure cap.
11To remove the used coffee grounds, remove the filter holder by turning the handle to the left until you find that the filter holder drops down. Flip the filter retaining clip fi so that it retains the filter. Turn the filter upside down and knock out the grounds. Flip the retaining clip back along the handle before the next use.
Note: Due to the amount of steam lost through the process, the coffee produced will be less than the water put in. This is accounted for in the amount to put in.
