The water tank has an integrated lid /carry
handle.
The water tank should be filled with fresh cold
water before use.
Check water level before use and replace the
water daily.
Pre-heating the Machine
For optimal crema, it is recommended to carry
out a complete brewing operation with water
but without any coffee grinds before making
your first coffee to ensure that the machine has
been pre-heated.
Ensure the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ is in the
‘Standby’ position and plug the power cord into
a 230/240V power outlet and switch on.
Press the ‘POWER’ button ‘On’. The ‘POWER’
button surround will illuminate. The red
‘HEATING’ light will turn off when the machine
has reached the correct temperature.
As soon as the red ‘heating’ light turns off, set
the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ to the ‘ESPRESSO’
position and run a small amount of water
through the brewing head for a few seconds
without the filter holder in place.
Pre-heat the filter holder by placing underneath
the group head. Rinse with hot water from
the group head using the ‘ESPRESSO’ pour
function. Dry the filter and filter holder
thoroughly before use.
Pre-warming Cups
The Cup Warming Plate will start to warm as
the machine heats.
Pre-warm the cups by placing on the Cup
Warming Plate or placing hot water from the
group head. This will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature when brewed into
the cups.
Preparing the Coffee
Place the 1 or 2 cup filter basket into the
group handle.
Use the smaller filter for 1 cup and the
larger filter for 2 cups
Use 1 level measure of ground espresso coffee
for the 1 cup filter basket and 2 level measures
for the 2 cup filter basket. It is important to use
the correct amount of coffee for each filter as
the filter perforations have been constructed to
utilise the pressure in the machine to extract
optimal flavour with each brewing.

Cappuccino Machine (continued)
Tamping the Ground Coffee
Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the filter
and press down firmly with the tamping end of
the measuring spoon and ensure that it is level.
Clean any excess ground coffee from the rim of
the filter holder to ensure a proper fit into the
group head.
Priming the Group Head
Before placing the filter holder into position, it
is recommended to run a short flow of water
through the group head.
Place a container or empty cup under the
group head, or allow water to flow straight
into the drip tray.
With the filter holder removed, prime the group
head by turning the ‘SELECTOR CONTROL’ to
the “ESPRESSO’ function for approximately 5
seconds. A pumping noise will be heard during
this operation, and water will run through the
group head.
When brewing for a mug of coffee always use
the 2 cup filter. If you require a larger coffee,
add the hot water first and then brew the
coffee.
