Hot W Ate R F Un Ctio N - SOLIS BARISTA PERFECT 118 Mode D'emploi

NOTES:
While the espresso machine generates steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This
indicates the normal operation of the italian 15-bar pump and is absolutely normal.
If you had the steam function continually in use for 5 minutes, the machine auto-
matically switches off the steam function. The control light STEAM (L) goes out, also
the surround of the SELECT button (K). The POWER button surround flashes. In this
case, turn the selection knob to the standby position in the center.
CAUTION: Only touch the steam wand by the rubber-coated part, as the metal parts
can get very hot. You could burn yourself on them.

With your Solis Barista Perfect machine you can make fresh espresso right after
steaming milk. This is made possible by the automatic purge function.
This automatic purge function makes sure that the ground coffee powder is not
burned by the water heated up for steam production. The water is automatically
transferred to the drip tray, ensuring that the heating coil has the ideal temperature
for making delicious espresso. Therefore, you can be sure that your espresso will
always be extracted at the optimal temperature, allowing it to unfold its full taste.

– Remove the portafilter from the group head. To do this, turn the handle of the
portafilter to the left until it comes loose.
– Remove the coffee dregs from the portafilter by flipping it 180 degrees and gently
tapping it down. Please discard the coffee dregs with your household waste
instead of flushing them down the drain, as they might clog up the wastewater
pipes.
– Wipe the filter basket clean with a dry towel.
– Turn the selection knob to and let hot water run through the brewing group
for 30 seconds to rinse the machine.

Heating your cup or glass
A warm cup will help maintain the coffee's optimal temperature. Use the hot water
function to fill the cup with hot water, pour it away after a while and place the cup
on the warming plate on top of the appliance.
Heating the portafilter and filter basket
A cold portafilter and filter basket can reduce the extraction temperature enough
to significantly affect the quality of your espresso. Ensure the portafilter and filter
basket are preheated with hot water before initial use by rinsing with hot water,
using the Hot Water function.
