before making coffee for the first time
1
Make sure the variable steam knob is closed by turning clockwise (don’t
overtighten).
2 Lift the lid, then lift out the tank and fill with cold water. Never fill above the
“MAX” level marked. Alternatively lift the lid and fill the tank whilst in position.
● We recommend using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces
limescale. Never use fizzy water or any other liquid.
3 Re fit the tank. Make sure that it is correctly located and apply light pressure if
necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the
bottom of the machine.
Important
Never operate the machine without water in the tank. Top up as
soon as the level gets low.
4 Close the lid.
5 Hold the finger grip and swing out the steam nozzle and put a jug underneath.
6 Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning it under the coffee outlet
and turning to the right ᕡ. Place a suitably sized container underneath.
7 Connect to the power supply then press the on/off button and it will glow
orange. At the same time the green coffee ready indicator light will flash. Wait
until the green light stops flashing.
8 Open the variable steam knob by turning anti-clockwise and press the coffee
button and allow one cup of water to flow out of the steam nozzle. Close the
variable steam knob and allow one cup of water to flow out of the coffee outlet
into the container.
9 Press the coffee button to stop the flow, then press the on/off button to switch
off the machine.
10 Repeat these steps if you haven’t used the coffee maker for a few days.
preheating the coffee machine
To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right temperature it is
necessary to pre-heat the coffee unit.
1 Check that the variable steam knob is firmly closed (turn clockwise) and that
there is sufficient water to heat 1 or 2 cups as required.
2 Fit the desired filter into the filter holder (without coffee and making sure that the
tab on the filter fits into the slot on the filter holder). Attach to the machine by
positioning it under the coffee outlet and turning to the right ᕡ. Ensure it is
firmly located.
3 Position a cup under the filter holder. Using the same cup that the coffee will be
served in will ensure it is preheated.
4 Press the on/off button and it will glow orange. At the same time the green
coffee ready indicator light will flash. Wait until the green light stops flashing.
5 Press the coffee button and it will glow orange, and hot water will dispense into
the cup. When the green coffee ready light starts flashing again, press the
coffee button to stop the flow.
6 Remove the filter holder and proceed to make coffee using either ground coffee
or coffee pods.
