ESPRESSO
Making espresso
1.Place your appliance near an electrical outlet
and release enough cord so that you can
plug in the machine (2).
2.Place the filter basket (e8) into the filter
holder (e9) and rotate basket inside filter
holder to secure it (11).
3.Fill with ground espresso. The filter basket is
marked on the inside for 2 and 4 cups. Pack
the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee
from the rim of the filter holder. This will
assure proper fit to the brewing head
(12).
ATTENTION !
Do not pack coffee too tightly.
Do not fill more coffee than indicated by
the four-cup marking into the filter
basket. This might cause clogging or
overflow.
4.To insert the filter holder, place the filter
handle’s to the left, raise the filter holder up
into brewing head and turn the filter holder
to the right, until it can go no further.
If the filter holder’s handle does not point
toward you in lock position, do not operate
the machine. Rather, remove the filter holder
and reinsert it as described above (13).
By following this procedure this will
prevent the filter holder from being
dislodged as pressure builds up during
the brewing process.
5.Open the hinged lid and unscrew the boiler
cap by turning it counterclockwise
(14+15).
6.Fill the boiler container with cold water
using the marking indicated on the glass
carafe (16).
CAUTION
Never fill the boiler while your appliance
is switched on.
Never fill more than 20 oz of water into
the boiler.
The glass carafe has markings for 2 and 4
cups.
To froth milk for Cappuccino preparation, add
the quantity of water corresponding to the
steam level marking on the carafe.
Maximum capacity to the bottom of the metal
band around the glass carafe = 4 cups of
espresso, plus steam for frothing milk for
cappuccino.
CAUTION
Never fill the carafe above the bottom of
the metal band!
NOTE
It is very important to fill only the amount of
water you need into the boiler. Your appliance
will always need to process all the water
until the boiler is empty.
7.Close the boiler cap securely by turning it
clockwise (17).
8.Place carafe under the filter holder and
make sure the slot on carafe lid is right
below the filter holder output (18).
ATTENTION :
Make sure the overflow grid (e7) is in
place.
9. Make sure the side knob (e2) is set on cup
Espresso position. Then turn the selector
knob (S) to the left in Espresso ON position.
The left indicator will light ON blue (19).
It will take approximately 2 minutes for the
water to be heated. The water will then be
forced through the ground coffee into the
glass carafe.
10. Wait until all the water in the boiler has
been used. Switch off the machine by
turning the selector knob (S) in middle
position.
11. Do not unscrew the boiler cap while
the machine is in operation. Wait until
brewing cycle is completed and all
water and steam have been used (see
CAUTION-PRESSURE).
CAUTION
Use caution when removing the filter
holder, as the metal parts may still be hot.
After switching off the appliance it is
recommended to wait about 2 minutes
before removing the filter holder. To
