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

When the green light around the ‘POWER’ button stops flashing and turns to a constant light, this indicates that the espresso machine is heated and ready to use. The lights around the ‘MANUAL’,

7.Place a sufficiently large container under both pouring spouts (12).
8.Once the espresso machine is switched on and heated, so the lights around the ‘POWER’, ‘MANUAL’, 
single and 
double espresso buttons all show a constant green light, the espresso machine is heated and ready to use.
Tip: Remember if the ‘POWER’ light is flashing green, this indicates that the espresso machine is on and is heating up.
9.Press the ‘MANUAL’ button (13) and allow the water to run through until the water reservoir is empty.
Note: As a safety mechanism the espresso machine is programmed to automatically stop the water flow after 240mls, therefore you will need to press the ‘MANUAL’ button again to restart the water flow.
