b)Alternatively the water reservoir can be removed and filled with fresh cold water. To do so, lift the lid and using it as a handle simply slide out the water reservoir (3). Then fill with fresh cold water or filtered water (4). Replace the water reservoir firmly and close the lid (5).

4.Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and switch the power on. Press the power switch to turn the espresso machine on (6). The light located on the power button will illuminate red and the 'HEATING' light will illuminate amber, this is to indicate that your espresso machine is on and is heating up.
