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, open the door on the
back of the espresso machine (3) and
simply slide out the water reservoir (4).
Then fill with fresh cold water or filtered
water (5). Replace the water reservoir
firmly and shut the door.
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 light above
the ‘POWER’ button will illuminate green
and start flashing, this is to indicate that
your espresso machine is on and is heating
up.
When the green light above the ‘POWER’
button stops flashing and turns to a
constant red light, this indicates that the
espresso machine is heated and ready to
use. The lights above 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
dials are in the OFF 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 the 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 light above the
‘POWER’ button is red and the lights above
the ‘MANUAL’,
single and double
espresso buttons 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.
