HeadingPreparing your espresso machine
before use
1. Place the espresso machine onto a dry,
stable benchtop.
2. Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place.
3. Fill the espresso machine with water. There
are a couple of ways in which the water
reservoir can be filled;
a) Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir
at the top of the espresso machine (1)
and using a jug, fill with fresh cold
water or filtered water (2).
b) Alternatively the water reservoir can
be removed and filled with fresh cold
water. To do so, lift the lid and using it
as a handle simply slide out the water
reservoir (3). Then fill with fresh cold
water or filtered water (4). Replace the
water reservoir firmly and close the lid
(5).
4. Insert the power cord into a 230-240V
AC power outlet and switch the power
on. Press the ‘POWER’ button once to
turn the espresso machine on (6). The
small power light will illuninate red and
the light around the 'POWER' button will
start flashing, this is to indicate that your
espresso machine is on and is heating up.
When the green light around the ‘POWER’
button stops flashing and turns to a
constant light, this indicates that the
espresso machine is heated and ready to
use. The lights around the ‘MANUAL’,
single and double espresso buttons will
also show a constant green light (7).
Note: Before turning on the espresso machine
ensure that the steam and hot water control
dial is in the position.
5. Place glasses and cups on the warming
plate (8).
Important: For first time use or if the machine
has not been used for some time, it is
important that the machine is rinsed as
follows:
6. Fit the filter handle with either the one or
two cup filter basket (9). Secure the filter
handle to the group head (10) (11).
7. Place a sufficiently large container under
both pouring spouts (12).
8. Once the espresso machine is switched
on and heated, so the lights around
the ‘POWER’, ‘MANUAL’, single and
double espresso buttons all show a
constant green light, the espresso machine
is heated and ready to use.
Tip: Remember if the ‘POWER’ light is
flashing green, this indicates that the
espresso machine is on and is heating up.
9. Press the ‘MANUAL’ button (13) and allow
the water to run through until the water
reservoir is empty.
Note: As a safety mechanism the espresso
machine is programmed to automatically stop
the water flow after 240mls, therefore you
will need to press the ‘MANUAL’ button again
to restart the water flow.
