3. Place the drip tray (12) in the drip tray mounting space (11) and install the grate (13) on the
tray. Place a cup on the grate.
4. Make sure that the steam dosage knob (4) is set to "0". Connect the device to the mains.
5. Plug the appliance to a power source and switch on by pressing the power switch (2a) – the
appliance is now warming up, which is signalled by the slow flashing of the indicators on
the (2b) and (2c) buttons. Once the appliance has warmed up, the indicators will illuminate
solid. Press the 1-cup button (2b) – hot water will begin to flow into the cup. Empty the cup
when the water stops pouring. The appliance has been initially warmed up and you can brew
coffee now.
MAKING COFFEE
1. Warm up the device in accordance with the instructions above.
2. Detach the portafilter (7) with the warmed filter basket (6). Use the scoop (21) to fill the filter
basket with the appropriate amount of coffee:
- small filter basket (6a) – max. 10 g of fresh, well-ground coffee (for one cup)
- large filter basket (6b) – max. 20 g of fresh, well-ground coffee (for two cups)
Tamp the coffee in the basket using the tamper (21).
ATTENTION! Do not exceed the amount of 10 g of coffee for the small basket or 20 g for the large basket.
ATTENTION! The portafilter is hot. Use the portafilter handle. Take extreme care – scalding risk.
3. Attach the portafilter with the appropriate filter basket filled with coffee to the appliance.
4. Place a cup in the centre of the drip tray grate or two cups next to each other under the por-
tafilter, if you wish to make two cups of coffee. The round holes in the grate (13) are located
directly below the coffee dispensing spout. Cups can be warmed using the cup warmer (3).
5. Start the brewing by pressing the (2b) button for one cup or the (2c) button for two cups of
coffee. If the indicators on the (2b) and (2c) buttons are flashing slowly, the water is being
heated up – do not start brewing until the lights illuminate solid. When the desired button is
pressed, the appliance starts pouring water under high pressure through the portafilter with
tamped coffee in the basket.
ATTENTION! Water heating does not exceed 70 seconds at a time.
The default pouring (brewing) time for one cup is set to approximately 20 seconds or
40 seconds for two cups. Depending on various circumstances (coffee variety, coffee
grind size and tamp level), this corresponds to approximately 35 and 70 ml of coffee. Five
short alarm sounds will indicate that the pouring is complete. The pouring time may be
programmed within a 60 second range (see: "PROGRAMMING POURING TIME").
6. The manometer (5) indicates the pressure during brewing, which may reach up to 20 bar.
However, the pressure during brewing depends on several factors, such as: the ambient tem-
perature, atmospheric pressure, coffee variety, grind size or tamp level, and, therefore, the
value may be lower.
7. If you want to make more coffee from the same dose, repeat the brewing process. Note that
the coffee will be weaker.
8. When the brewing is complete, proceed to milk frothing or turn the appliance off by pressing
the (2a) button, unplug it, detach the portafilter, remove the filter basket and immediately
rinse and dry it for the next use.
