Operation
Before Using the Espresso Maker for the First Time
Unpack and Clean
1. Remove the machine from the packaging and
ensure all parts and accessories are present (see
previous section for a complete list).
2. Handwash all removable parts with warm, soapy
water, (Do NOT wash them in a dishwasher; do
NOT immerse the machine itself in water or other
liquid).
3. Clean the machine itself by running clean water
through it 2-3 times.
a. Fill the water tank (see next section).
b. Follow the coffee making process, but do
NOT use coffee in the filter.
c. Repeat until clean.
WARNING: The first time you use the machine, water
may not come out of the brew head area. If this
happens, turn the hot water/steam knob (8)
counterclockwise all the way to the open position. If, on
the other hand, water spurts out from the steam tube
(10), turn the hot water/steam knob (8) clockwise to
the closed position.
Fill the Water Tank
Fill the tank before turning the machine on.
1. Open the water tank cover (7) and remove the
water tank (9) by pulling upwards.
2. Fill the tank with fresh, clean water, making sure it
does not exceed the "MAX" level.
3. Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve
located on the bottom of the tank.
Alternatively, instead of removing the water tank, fill it
by pouring water directly from a bottle.
Instruction Booklet
IMPORTANT:
Water will collect in the space under the tank over
•
time. This is normal but makes it necessary to dry it
out regularly with a sponge.
Add water when the water level reaches below the
•
minimum level.
Check the Pressure
The pressure gauge (5) indicates whether the pressure
is optimal for making coffee. Verify the pointer is in the
OPTIMAL PRESSURE region before performing any
task.
Preheat the Machine
1. Press the power switch (12) to turn on the
machine.
2. The machine will automatically perform a self-
inspection. When complete, the indicator lights
around the single cup (2), double cup (3) and
steam (4) buttons will light up.
3. Press either the single cup (2) or double cup (3)
button to start preheating.
4. The single cup (2) or double cup (3) button
indicator lights will flash, indicating that preheating
is in progress. When complete, the lights will
remain lit, and the buzzer will beep twice.
5. When preheating is complete, the machine is ready
to make coffee.
WARNING: After self-inspection, if the indicator lights
around the three buttons flash simultaneously along
with the buzzer sounding, it means that the machine is
non-operational, and the buttons will not work. 30
seconds after the alarm, the machine will go into
standby mode and all indicator lights will go off. See the
Troubleshooting
