OPERATING
Under Extracted Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
lower zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with
insufficient pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through
the ground coffee is too fast and results in
an under extracted espresso that is watery
and lacks crema and flavor.
Causes for under extraction include the grind
being too coarse and/or insufficient coffee in
the filter basket and/or under tamping.
Over Extracted Zone
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
upper zone during extraction, indicates
the espresso has been extracted with too
much pressure.
This occurs when the water flow through the
ground coffee is too slow and results in an
over extracted espresso that is very dark and
bitter with a mottled and uneven crema.
Causes for over extraction include the grind
being too fine and/or too much ground
coffee in filter basket and/or over tamping.
HOT WATER
Turn the STEAM/HOT WATER dial to
the hot water position.
Hot water will pour from the hot water
outlet and can be used for making
Americanos and pre-heating cups.
To stop the hot water, return the
STEAM/HOT WATER dial to the
STANDBY position.

AUTO PURGE
Immediately after the espresso, hot water
and steam functions, the machine will purge
water into the drip tray. This ensures the
thermocoil is at the optimal temperature.
TIP
Ensure the drip tray is firmly pushed
in place and emptied whenever the
Empty Me! indicator is displayed.

The machine automatically switches to
SLEEP MODE after 1 hour. During this time,
the POWER button light will flash slowly.

To re-activate the machine, press any button
except for the POWER button. The POWER
button light will flash while the machine
re-heats. A pumping sound will be heard.
This is normal. When the machine has
reached the correct operating temperature,
the POWER button light will stop flashing
and all button lights on the control panel
will illuminate.
