Frequently Asked Questions - GT-EM-01-UK Ambiano

How do I set up and use my Ambiano GT-EM-01-UK coffee machine?

Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the max level, add ground coffee to the permanent filter or a paper filter (size 4), place the carafe on the warming plate, and press the power button. The machine will start brewing automatically.

How do I clean my coffee machine?

Allow the machine to cool, remove the filter basket and carafe, wash them with warm soapy water or place them in the dishwasher (top rack). Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Descale regularly to remove mineral buildup.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale every 3 months or more frequently if you use hard water. Use a descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio). Run a brew cycle without coffee, then several cycles with fresh water to rinse.

Why is my coffee weak or not hot enough?

Weak coffee may result from using too little coffee grounds or too coarse a grind. For hotter coffee, pre-warm the carafe with hot water and ensure the warming plate is clean. Also check that the water tank is filled and the machine is not in need of descaling.

What type of coffee filter should I use?

The machine works with both a permanent mesh filter (included) and standard paper filters (size 4). For milder coffee, use paper filters; for fuller flavor, use the permanent filter.

Does the machine have an auto shut-off feature?

Yes, the Ambiano GT-EM-01-UK automatically turns off after 2 hours of inactivity to save energy and ensure safety.

Can I brew smaller amounts of coffee?

Yes, you can brew as little as 2 cups. Use the markings on the water tank for reference and adjust the amount of coffee grounds accordingly.

The carafe is broken; where can I get a replacement?

Replacement carafes are available from Ambiano's spare parts service or through third-party retailers. Check the model GT-EM-01-UK to ensure compatibility.

Why is the machine making loud noises during brewing?

Loud noises may indicate air in the system or a need for descaling. Try running a descaling cycle first. If the noise persists, check that the water tank is properly seated and that no coffee grounds are blocking the filter.

How do I reset the machine after an error?

Unplug the machine, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If the error persists, check for blockages or incomplete assembly of parts. Refer to the user manual for specific error codes.

The operating lamp only lights up, if the steam button 17 is on the Off position, i.e. not pressed.

1. Afterwards, press the Espresso button ☐ 16 immediately.

The pump/heating system will now fill with water.

As soon as the pump has sucked in sufficient water, cold water will run into the cup.

1. Stop the water discharge by pressing the espresso button 📄.

2. Wait until the indicator lamp for the espresso brewing temperature 14 lights up green.

You can track the heating-up of the water using the temperature indicator 10. As soon as the display is in the red range, espresso can be prepared. But it is crucial that the lamp goes on.

1. Press the espresso button ☐ again and let hot water run through for a total of approx. 60 seconds to flush the espresso machine.
2. If the cup is nearly full, stop the water discharge by pressing the espresso button again ☐
3. Then, continue the flushing for a total of approx. 60 seconds.

- When the green lamp goes out during this, the system heats up.

- When the green lamp lights up again, the correct temperature has been reached for espresso preparation.

Heating up prior to use

To prepare a good hot espresso, it is recommended that you heat up the espresso machine prior to each use.

Precondition:

• The water tank is filled sufficiently (approx. 1/4 full).

• The power plug is inserted.

• Insert the small 19 or large brewing filter 20 into the filter holder 18 (refer to Fig. A). Do not fill any espresso powder into the brewing filter yet.

• Insert the filter holder into the espresso machine from underneath. For this, the lever must be angled towards the left (refer to Fig. B).

• Wait until the lamp for the espresso brewing temperature 14 lights up green.

• Press the espresso button and let hot water run into a large cup. Before the cup is full, press the espresso button again, to stop the process.

• Empty the pre-heated cup.

To warm up more cups, you can place these on top of the storage shelf 1. On there, they are pre-heated and kept warm by the operating heat of the machine.

The pre-heating is completed and you can start with the actual espresso or cappuccino preparation.

Prepare espresso

For a good espresso, in addition to the coffee variety and the degree of grinding the coffee, the contact pressure in the brewing filter is also crucial.

Also, always make sure that the espresso filter is clean and does not contain any powder residues.

WARNING!

Scalding hazard!

If you remove the filter holder while dispensing coffee, hot water droplets will spray and water vapour will escape from the espresso machine. You may scald yourself.

- After preparation, wait for around 10 seconds before removing the filter holder.

1. Fold the locking bracket and the carrying handle of the water tank 2 upwards and remove the water tank upwards (refer to Fig. C).

2. Fill fresh, cold and still water into the tank. Please note the maximum filing level MAX mark.

3. Reinsert the water tank and fold the locking bracket downwards.

Ensure that the water tank audibly locks in.

It is recommendable to pre-heat the espresso machine prior to use. See “Heating up prior to use” section.

1. Insert the small or large brewing filter into the filter holder:

• To prepare an espresso, insert the small brewing filter 19.
- To prepare two espressos or a double espresso, insert the large brewing filter 20.

The filter can only be inserted in one position. After that, turn it by 90° to the right or left.

Pay attention to the MAX mark in the brewing filter.

1. Fill the filter with espresso powder up to the MAX mark, using the measuring spoon 9.

2. Compress the espresso powder using the tamper on the measuring spoon.

3. Add more espresso powder, if necessary, so that the brewing filter is filled up to the MAX mark.

4. Compress the espresso powder with the tamper again.

The compressing of the espresso powder is an important process for espresso preparation.

• If the espresso power is compressed very tightly, the espresso will run through slowly and there will be more crema.
• If the espresso power is not compressed very tightly, the espresso will run through more quickly and there will be less crema.

Insert the filter holder into the espresso machine from underneath. For this, the lever must be angled towards the left (refer to Fig. B).

1. Slide the lever to the right, as far as it will go. It must be seated securely in the bracket and point forwards at a 90° angle.
2. Please one ore two pre-heated cup(s) under the coffee spout 5.
3. Wait until the lamp for the espresso brewing temperature 14 lights up green.

4. Press the espresso button 📋 16. The espresso runs into the cup.

5. Press the espresso button again, once the cup(s) is (are) filled to the desired quantity (approx. 20 ml).

6. The espresso is ready.

After preparing espresso (empty brewing filter)

WARNING!

Burn hazard!

The metal parts of the filter holder and the brewing filter used become hot during use.

- After the last use, wait for at least another 10 minutes before emptying the brewing filter.

After use, remove the espresso powder from the filter.

1. Remove the filter holder 18 from the machine by turning it to the left, as far as it will go.

1. Empty the espresso filter by turning the filter blocker 21 over with the blocked espresso filter, while pressing your thumb against the filter blocker.
2. Preferably knock out the espresso powder into organic waste.

Prepare cappuccino / froth milk

WARNING!

Scalding hazard!

Hot splashes may occur when frothing the milk.

• Always turn the steam controller and handle it with care.
• Ensure that the handle is correctly seated on the milk frother.

The steam controller 11 is fitted with a locking mechanism. It must be pulled slightly out of its bracket to unlock it. To lock it, press the controller back in in the direction of the housing.

A classic cappuccino is prepared with one espresso (approx. 20 ml) in one 150 ml cup, which is then filled up with frothed hot milk.

1. Put 100 ml of cold milk in a larger container, so that it is ready for frothing. Ideally, a frothing container made of stainless steel. Also note the “Tips for frothing milk” section.
2. Prepare one espresso in a larger cup (approx. 150 ml) (refer to "Prepare espresso" section). Then, set the espresso aside first.
3. Turn the steam controller 11 all the way to the right to close the steam nozzle.
4. Turn the milk frother 4 out to the side. Only hold the handle 3.
5. Press the steam button 17.
6. Wait until the indicator lamp for the steam pressure 12 lights up yellow.

You can track the rising steam pressure easily using the temperature indicator 10. But it is crucial that the indicator lamp goes on.

1. Unlock the steam controller by pulling it out slightly.

2. First of all, hold an empty container underneath the milk frother. Then, turn the steam controller slowly to the left (counter clockwise). Condensation and splashes will come out of the nozzle. This way, the nozzle and the water circuit inside the machine are cleaned.

3. Wait for approx. 15 seconds, then close the steam controller again, by turning it all the way to the right, until no more steam comes out of the nozzle. Place the container used aside.

4. Pick up the frothing container containing the cold milk and guide the nozzle of the milk frother lightly into the milk. Hold the frothing container at a slight angle.

5. Turn the steam controller slowly to the left.

6. Move the container up and down slightly, so that the frother is repeatedly immersed in the milk. Hold the tip of the nozzle just under the surface: deep enough, that the milk does not spray in all directions and high enough that a thick froth is created.

If the yellow temperature lamp goes out, the machine is heating up again. You can nevertheless continue using the frother, as long as steam is still flowing out of the nozzle. After this, close the steam controller and wait for a moment until the temperature lamp lights up again. After this, you can continue with frothing the milk.

1. Once you have created sufficient milk froth, place the container aside briefly and hold the tall, empty cup under the frother.
2. Open the steam controller again and allow steam to escape for several seconds, for fast cleaning.
3. Close the steam controller and lock it by pushing it in the direction of the housing. Press the steam button 17.
4. Swivel the milk frother 4 towards the back again. In doing so, only hold the milk frother on the handle 3.
5. Fill the milk froth into the cup of previously prepared espresso using a spoon for assistance. You can add sugar or sprinkle with cocoa powder, as desired.
6. Clean the espresso machine after a short cooling-off break, so that coffee grounds and milk residues do not dry on (refer to "Cleaning" section).
   Attention: Metal parts particularly remain hot for longer.

After use

After steam generation, let the espresso machine cool off for 5 minutes before preparing espresso again.

Therefore, it is recommended to prepare the espresso first and then the milk froth.

However, you can speed up the cooling off:

1. Press the steam button ("Off position").
2. Place your empty cup underneath the milk frother 4 and unlock it by pulling it out slightly.
3. Open the steam controller 11 slightly
4. Let steam and water flow into the cup until the indicator lamp goes out for the steam pressure 12.
5. Close the steam controller and lock it by pushing it in the direction of the housing. Press the steam button 17.
6. Swivel the milk frother towards the back again. When doing this, only hold the milk frother on the handle 3.

Once the lamp for the espresso brewing temperature 14 lights up green, you can start with the preparation of an espresso.

Empty drip tray

The drip tray 7 has a cleaning display 8 (refer to Fig. D). It is essential to remove and empty the drip tray prior to, or at the point this becomes visible.

Switch off espresso machine

- Press the On/Off button ⏻ 15.

The red operating lamp 14 goes out.

If no button is pressed, the machine switches off automatically after approx. 29 minutes.

Tips for frothing milk

• Basically, any milk can be frothed (also soya and rice milk). However, some varieties of milk e.g. whole dairy milk, will give better results than others.
• Skimmed milk does not scald as easily as whole milk, but the fat content must not be too low. Therefore, we recommend a milk with a fat content of 1.5 to 3.5%.
• Well-chilled milk can be frothed better than less-chilled milk. Recommended temperature: approx. 7 °C.
• Do not froth milk a second time (risk of scalding).
• Allow the frothed milk to stand for approx. 30 seconds before putting the froth on the espresso. During this time, larger bubbles will burst and milk, which is still liquid, sinks to the bottom. The froth becomes even finer this way.

Cleaning

WARNING!

Burn hazard!

The espresso machine becomes hot during operation. You may burn yourself. Metal parts particularly remain hot for longer.

- Prior to cleaning, wait until the espresso machine has cooled off.

NOTE!

Short-circuit hazard!

Water, which has penetrated the housing, may cause a short-circuit.

• Never immerse the espresso machine in water or other liquids.
• Ensure that no water or other liquids enter into the housing.

NOTE!

Risk of damage!

Improper handling of the espresso machine may result in damage.

- Do not use any aggressive detergents, sharp or metallic cleaning implements, such as knives, hard spatulas and similar. These may damage the surfaces.

1. Remove the power plug from the socket.
2. Allow the espresso machine to cool off.

Clean brewing filter

- Empty the used brewing filter 19 / 20 after each use and rinse it out thoroughly with water before refilling it.

Daily cleaning

1. Clean the brewing filters and the filter holder 18 thoroughly with rinsing water and then rinse all parts with clear water.
2. If the holes in the filter are blocked, clean it with a fine brush.
3. Empty the drip dray 7, rinse it out and let it dry off.

Clean frother

WARNING!

Scalding hazard!

The metal tube of the frother becomes hot during operation. You may scald yourself.

- Wait until the frother has cooled down before cleaning.

1. Pull off the thicker metal tube by turning slightly downwards (refer to Fig. E).
2. Clean the tube with water and then rinse it with clear water.
3. Dry off the tube.
4. Clean the handle 3 and the frother with a non-abrasive cloth.
