Note: Before turning on the espresso machine ensure that the steam and hot water control dials are in the OFF position.

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

double espresso buttons will also show a constant green light.

To turn the espresso machine off, simply press the ‘POWER’ button, the red power light and all other lights on the control panel will turn off.

The ‘MANUAL’ button allows the coffee maker to have complete control over the length of the espresso pour.

single and double espresso buttons will go off. The lights above the ‘POWER’ and ‘MANUAL’ buttons will remain on.
