Before Start-up

Unpack the Espresso machine carefully. Take out all the accessories and the packing material. Wash the accessories in a sink. To clean the device, carry out 2-3 complete cycles with clean water before brewing the first espresso. Proceed as described in item 1 to 7 of Making an Espresso" without using espresso coffee though.

Making an Espresso

1. Connect the machine to a correctly installed 230 V, 50 Hertz safety socket.
2. Ensure that the on/off switch (0/1) (6) is in the 0 position.
3. Place the draining grid in the indentation of the draining tray.
4. Open the lid and remove the water tank by the handle.
5. Fill the required amount of fresh clear water into the tank.
6. Release the filter holder(10)by turning the handle to the left(INSERT).
7. Place the filter(12or13) into the filterholder'(10). Now add one to two level measuring spoons of coffee. Distribute the coffee evenly and press the coffee powder lightly with a measuring spoon or other spoon. The aim of pressing the coffee powder with the spoon is to distribute it evenly in the coffee bowl rather than compressing it. We recommend a flat surface plunger, Ensure that the filter holder is firmly fixed in the percolating head.
8. In order to preheat your espresso cups, place them on the warming plate (2) above the percolating head.
9. Switch the machine on using the on/off switch (0/1) (6). The control lamps (4 + 5) located on the right and left in the function control light up.
10. When the water has reached the required temperature, the control lamp (5) on the right-hand side (READY) switches off. Note: if the control lamp lights up again before percolation is finished, the water temperature is no longer high enough. Turn the function selection switch (3) to 0 and wait for the lamp to go out again. You can now continue preparing the espresso.
11. Remove the espresso cup(s) from the warming plate (2) and place them under the percolating head.
12. Turn the function switch (3) to the symbol showing the espresso cup.
13. The espresso is now ready and is poured into the cup(s).

14. When percolation is finished, turn the function switch (3) back to the 0 position.

15. Switch the machine off using the on9off switch (011) (6).

16. After brewing wait for a few seconds before removing the filter. Turn the handle of the filter holder from right to left. Pay attention to the steam! To remove the used coffee, hold the filter by using the special lever (11) on the handle in the relevant position. Turn the filter holder (10) and knock out the used coffee. Remove the filter holder (10) after making an espresso. +y doing so, you will extend the service life of the rubber seal in the brewing head. To make other espressos, fill the coffee bowl (12 or 13) with coffee powder again and carry out the brewing procedure as described above.

Making a Cappuccino

To make a cappuccino, you must first make an espresso. Proceed as described under "Making an Espresso" from steps 1 to 13. To froth the milk, proceed as follows:

1. Make sure that the function selector (3) is in 0 position.
2. Swing the steam nozzle (8) out so that you can position the container (please use a heat-resistant container) comfortably under the nozzle.
3. Fill the container up to a 193 with fresh cold milk (warm, hot or steel milk does not froth).
4. Dip the steam nozzle (8) slightly below the surface of the milk in the container and turn the function selector (3) to the left (Steam symbol).
5. Move the container slightly up and down. Once the milk reaches the desired volume, you can warm the milk more by lowering the steam nozzle (8) to the bottom of the container. Do not make the milk boil or the froth will] be ruined.
6. Turn the function selector (3) back to the 0 position and switch the device off with the On9Off (011) (6) switch.
7. Scoop out the froth jnto the espresso. Add liquid milk. A cappuccino is usually composed of 113 coffee, 193 hot milk and 113 frothed milk
8. Your cappuccino is now ready; improve the flavour by adding some cinnamon or chocolate powder.

Cleaning

After frothing milk, the steam nozzle is to be immediately cleaned from all milk residues. If the milk dries, it becomes difficult to remove. Soak the steam tube in a container with water over night so that the milk residue softens. Place a heat-resistant container full of water under the nozzle so that the nozzle is dipped in the water. Turn the function selector to Steam position. Wipe the steam nozzle with a moist cloth to remove the m residue before it hardens. The water tank, drip tray, drip tray cover, filter, filter holder and the hotplate can be washed by hand in a sink with warm water. Do not use abrasive detergents. Wash the parts regularly. If the filter's holes are clogged, clean it with a fine brush. Do not wash the machine. Never wash the parts or accessories in a dishwasher. The drip tray has an overflow protection. A white-marked float is found in the tray. The more water the drip tray contains, the higher the float rises. To empty the tray you can remove the drip tray completely and lift the grid.
