before making coffee for the first time
1 Make sure the selector knob is in the off position ( ) and
that the steam/hot water knob is closed by turning
clockwise (don’t overtighten).
2 Lift out the tank, remove the lid and fill with cold water.
Never fill above the MAX level marked. Alternatively
remove the lid and fill the tank while in position on the
coffee maker.
We recommend using filtered water as it produces better
coffee and reduces limescale. Never use fizzy water.
Replace the tank. Make sure that it is correctly in place
and apply light pressure if necessary to ensure the valve
at the bottom of the tank connects with the bottom of the
machine.
Note it is normal for water to remain in the compartment
under the tank. This can be dried using a sponge.
Important
Never operate the machine without water in
the tank. Refill as soon as the level gets low.
3 Swing out the cappuccino and latte system and put a jug
underneath.
4 Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning it
under the liquid coffee/boiler outlet and turning to the
right. Place a bowl underneath.
5 Turn the selector knob to the boiler position ( ). The
boiler light will come on, wait until the OK light glows.
6 Turn the selector knob to the coffee/hot water position
( ) and wait until two cups of water run into the bowl.
7 Turn the steam/hot water knob anti-clockwise and allow
two cups of water to run into the jug.
8 Turn the steam/hot water knob clockwise and turn the
selector knob to the off position ( ).
9 Repeat these steps if you haven’t used the coffee maker
for a few days.
