Before using for the first time

It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with all
the parts of the appliance before you use it for the first
time. Insert the filter basket into the filter holder, place
the filter holder inside the rings designed to that effect,
remove and replace the boiler lid. Check the various
position of the function selector switch. To eliminate
any residues that may have been laid down during
manufacture, it is recommended that you run water
through the appliance (as described in the section
"Making espresso coffee") once or twice, without any
ground espresso coffee. Wash all the removable parts
using soapy water, rinse well and dry.
Read all the instructions carefully, as well as all the
warnings and other remarks, before you use the
appliance.

the boiler is still under pressure. Close the steam button and follow the instructions below.
- Take a jug of cold water and place the steam nozzle inside it. Turn the steam button (e2) on by
turning it anticlockwise. Leave the button open until there is no steam left. Stop the steam function
by turning the button clockwise.

A real espresso
Espresso is a coffee that is much richer and
fuller-flavoured than ordinary filter coffee. It must be
unctuous, dark and flavourful. Most people prefer to
take it in small contents, because it is such a rich
drink. It is for this reason that espresso coffee is
usually served in small cups (60 to 80 ml) which are
only half-filled.
When this appliance is used properly, you will get an
espresso that is unctuous, dark and flavourful. All you
need to do is follow the instructions and use well
