pump.
- Put the cup(s) aside to warm up and pour
out the water just prior to making
espresso.
- The cups may also be placed on the
warming top to pre-heat them.
 Filling the filter sieve with ground
espresso coffee / removing the espresso
grounds
- Filling with ground espresso coffee
- Remove the preheated filter holder
(Caution: the filter holder will be
very hot). Pour out any residual water.
- Fill with finely ground espresso coffee:
1 cup = 1 level measuring scoop
2 cups = 2 level measuring scoops
Note: if the filter holder is over-filled, it
will not lock properly under the boiler
outlet. Do not put in more then the
quantity indicated above.
- Use the measuring scoop to distribute
the ground espresso coffee evenly and
press it down lightly. Any excess coffee
powder on the rim of the filter holder
must be removed.
- Removing the used grounds
- After the brewing cycle is complete,
wait approximately 30 seconds until the
operating pressure has been sufficiently
reduced.
- Exercise caution when removing the
filter holder: it may still contain some
hot water. Pour out the water carefully.
- Allow the filter holder to cool down
sufficiently before tapping its side
against a vertical surface to loosen the
grounds before emptying it.
- The cut-outs on the filter holder
facilitate removing the filter sieve; use
the fingers to pull the sieve out from
above. Clean the filter holder and sieve
thoroughly.
 Filter sieve - inserting and removing
espresso pads
- Inserting the espresso pad:
- Remove the pre-heated filter holder
with the filter sieve (Caution: the
filter holder will be very hot). Pour
out any residual water.
- Insert an espresso pad into filter sieve
'c' (pad sieve). Ensure that the paper
rim of the ESE pad does not protrude
over the rim of the filter sieve.
- Removing the used espresso pad:
- After the brewing cycle is complete,
wait for approximately 30 seconds until
the operating pressure has been
sufficiently reduced.
- Exercise caution when removing the
filter holder: it is hot and may still
contain some hot water. Pour out the
water carefully.
- Allow the filter holder to cool down
sufficiently before tapping its side
against a vertical surface to loosen the
pad before removing it.
- The cut-outs on the filter holder
facilitate removing the filter sieve; use
the fingers to pull the sieve out from
above. Clean the filter holder and sieve
thoroughly.
Drip tray
During operation, any excess water or steam is
collected in the drip tray. The tray must
therefore be fitted whenever the espresso maker
is switched on. Caution: the drainer and tray
become very hot during use.
The red indicator allows the water level in the
drip tray to be monitored. As the level rises, the
indicator becomes visible through the drainer.
Always empty the drip tray in good time. Do
not remove the drip tray unless the appliance
has been switched off and has had sufficient
time to cool down.
To remove the tray, pull it away from the
appliance and lift it out.
Should the covering panel at the rear of the drip
tray become detached from the tray during
cleaning, it can be refitted from above at a slight
angle.
