4. To insert the filter holder, place the portafilter handle to the left, raise the portafilter up into
the brewing head and turn the portafilter to the right, until it can go no further.
If the portafilter handle does not point toward you to lock into position, do not operate the
machine. Rather, remove the portafilter and reinsert it as described above (16).
By following this procedure this will prevent the portafilter 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 (17).
6. Fill the boiler container with cold water using the marking indicated on the glass carafe
(18).
!
CAUTION
Never fill the boiler while your appliance is switched on.
Never put more than 20 oz of water into the boiler.
The glass carafe has markings for 2 and 4 cups.
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 (19).
8. Place carafe under the filter holder and make sure the slot on carafe lid is right below the
filter holder output (20).
! ATTENTION :
Make sure the dip tray (E) is in place.
9. Press the espresso button (c4). Make sure the control knob (B) is set on the cup Espresso
position. The indicator light will illuminate red (21).
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 to the middle "Off" position.
11. Do not unscrew the boiler cap while the machine is in operation. Wait until
the brewing cycle is completed and all water and steam have been used (see
CAUTION-PRESSURE).
!
CAUTION
Use caution when removing the portafilter, as the metal parts may still be hot.
After switching off the appliance it is recommended to wait about 2 minutes
before removing the portafilter. To remove the portafilter, turn the handle to the
left, until it dislodges from the machine.
