Preparing your espresso machine before use

1.Place the espresso machine onto a dry, stable benchtop.

2.Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place.

3.Fill the espresso machine with water. There are a couple of ways in which the water reservoir can be filled;

a)  Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir at the top of the espresso machine (1) and using a jug, fill with fresh cold water or filtered water (2).

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 button once to turn the espresso machine on (6). The light located on the power button will illuminate red and the temperature indicator line on the LCD

will start to flash from the symbol, this is to indicate that your espresso machine is on and is heating up.

When the temperature indicator line on the LCD has stopped flashing and 'READY' is displayed, this indicates that the espresso machine is heated and ready to use (7).

Note: Before turning on the espresso machine ensure that the operating dial on the side of the espresso machine is in the off position.

5.Place glasses and cups on the warming plate (8).

Important: For first time use or if the machine has not been used for some time, it is important that the machine is rinsed as follows:

6.Fit the filter handle with either the one or two cup filter basket (9). Secure the filter handle to the group head (10) (11).

7.Place a sufficiently large container under both pouring spouts (12).

8.Ensure the espresso machine is in espresso/hot water mode, so the red light

on the power button and the orange light on the button are illuminated.

Note: Should the espresso machine not be in espresso/hot water mode, so the orange light on the button is not on, the coffee maker needs to press the button the activate the espresso/hot water mode. By design the temperature of the espresso machine will adjust as necessary.

Once the espresso machine is heated to the correct temperature, the temperature indicator line on the LCD will stop flashing and and 'READY' will be displayed.

Tip: Remember if 'READY' is not displayed on the LCD the espresso machine is adjusting the temperature of the heating system.

9.Turn the operating dial anticlockwise to the espresso setting (13) and allow the water to run through until the water reservoir is empty.
