the espresso machine into
a properly grounded and
dedicated circuit, separate
from other electrical
appliances.

parts.
• Check bean hopper for
presence of foreign objects
before using.

• Ensure the portafilter
is firmly inserted and
secured into the group
head before starting an
extraction. Never remove
the portafilter during the
extraction process.
• Use caution after milk
texturing as the auto purge
function will purge hot
steam when the steam
wand is lowered.
• Caution must be used
during descaling as hot
steam may be released.
Before descaling, turn
off the machine, allow
to cool for at least 1 hour
and ensure the drip tray is
empty and fully inserted.
For instructions, refer
to 'Descale', page 22.
