Surfaces sensitive to water are not suitable as they might be dama- ged by water splashes. Scalding danger due to hot water or steam. Never place the steam resp. hot water nozzle to the body direction. During the brewing, never try to remove the sieve holder. Never switch on the appliance if the water contai- ner is not placed. Switch off the appliance prior to detaching the water container. Scalding danger! During the operation, some parts of the EspressoMaker will become very hot. Avoid direct body contact with the hot compo- nents. During the operation, always use the han- dles and buttons designed for this purpose. Pay attention that children do not have the oppor- tunity to play with the appliance. Disconnect the appliance if it is not used for lon- ger time. Danger of frost! Since you already taken the appliance into operation, i.e. filled it with water, it may only be used and stored in frost-free rooms. Otherwise the appliance might get damaged. Usage With the EspressoMaker, you can prepare 1 or 2 cups of espresso within very short time. The pressure of 15 bar ensures a rich crema. You can use every usual coffee sort. There are special coffee sorts for espresso machines. Just try different sorts in order to find out your favourite. You can use the coffee freshly ground or as coffee soft pods (hard pods with a dia- meter of 45 mm or soft pods with a diameter of up to 70 mm). On the pre-warming plate (2), you can warm up the cups in order to enjoy the coffee with an optimum temperature. With the swivelling hot-water / steam nozzle (6), you can froth up milk, warm up liquids or prepare hot water. Putting into operation Place the appliance onto a stable and water-resistant surface. Prior to first use it is recommended to clean the water container (4), the sieve holder (9) with sieve attach- ments (14) (16) and the adapter (15) with washing-up liquid and rinse it with clean water afterwards. It is not allowed to press the ON / OFF button (C) before you have not bled it as described as follows. Vent / Rinsing Prior to first operation of the EspressoMaker, or when it is not used for a longer time, it has to be vent resp. rinsed prior to switching on. For this purpose, make ready a collecting bowl which has a capacity of at least 700 ml. Take out the water container (4) at the handle from the insert, and open the lid (3) in order to fill in water. Only fill cold fresh water in it, never carbonated water or another liquid, e. g. milk etc. If filled up to the max marking, the capacity is suffi- cient for approx. 20 cups à 35 ml/each. Place back the water container (4) into the insert in the appliance and firmly press it downwards. Connect the connection cord into an earthed socket and open the steam valve (5) by rotating the tur- ning knob counter clockwise. Now push the rinsing button (E). The pump works audibly and the readiness for brewing illuminates (K). As soon as some water came out from the hot water/steam nozzle (6) into the collecting bowl, close the steam valve (5) and place the collecting bowl under the brewing head (8). After the system has been filled completely, the appliance switches off automatically. Heating up Firstly place the adaptor (15) into the sieve hol- der (9) and afterwards place the one-cup-sieve (16). Place the 2-cups-sieve (14) into the sieve hol- der (9). The sieves must be placed exactly in the position shown in picture 4 , i.e. the markings must be in line with the handle. Place the sieve holder (9) in the position shown in picture 6 from the bottom on the brewing head / unit (8) and turn it anti-clockwise . If it is not alined cor- rectly it will be hard to turn, and there is a danger that the thread gets damaged and the brewing chamber is leaking. In this case you should take it off and place it again. Press the ON / OFF button (C). The operation indicator (H) illuminates. When the brewing rea- diness indicator (K) changes from flashing to steady light, the brewing temperature is reached. The brewing system, as well as the cups on the pre-war- ming plate (2) need approx. 10 minutes up to the opti- mum temperature.11 Brewing of coffee Before brewing the first cup start a passage without coffee powder. For this purpose press the start button (B). The heating system will be filled up with fresh water and the sieve holder will be preheated. Afterwards prepare the brewing as follows: Fill in a level portioning spoon (17) coffee pow- der into the sieve (16). Fill in 1

a level portioning spoon (17) coffee powder into the sieve (14). Press on firmly the coffee powder by the coffee tam- per (7), in a way that its plate (7a) is leveled with the above edge of the sieve, as shown in picture 5 . Remove the powder residues on the edge of the sieve. Place the sieve holder (9) in the position shown in picture 6 from the bottom on the brewing head (8) and screw it anti-clockwise . Advice: If you put too much powder, the sieve holder (9) will not fit on the brewing head / unit. Place one pre-warmed espresso cup under the outlets (18) in the middle of the grating (10). Press the start button (B). After approx. 10 seconds, your espresso is ready. Place two pre-warmed espresso cups respec- tively under one outlet channel (18) each on the grating (10). Press the start button (D). After approx. 20 seconds, your espresso is ready. After brewing, turn the sieve holder (9) clockwise and detach it from the brewing head / unit. Push the sieve holder (12) with the thumb against the sieve edge. In this way you avoid that the sieve falls out during the knocking out. Rinse the sieve and the sieve holder (9). Check regularly that the outlet valve (20) is not blocked. Thereby, press several times the valve but- ton (19). Coffee from coffee soft pods You can use hard pods with a diameter of 45 mm or soft pods with a diameter of approx. 70 mm. Firstly, lay down the adaptor (15) into the sieve holder (9) and afterwards the 1-cup-sieve (16). Press firmly the pod by the tamper (7), so that its disc (7a) closes with the sieve top edge, like shown in picture 5 . The further preparation is made as above-described for one cup. Steam Attention: The hot-water / steam nozzle (6) can become very hot. There is scalding danger. Avoid direct body contact and do not direct the nozzle to persons! With the hot-water / steam nozzle (6), you can froth up milk or warm up liquids. Observe the following steps:

1. The machine is ready for brewing.

which is available in selected spe- cialist retailers. If you wait too long with de-scaling, damage of the heating system is not excluded. The following indications are guidelines. When the crema of the coffee is no longer rich or when the cof- fee amount starts to reduce with the same adjust- ment, you have to de-scale earlier. hardness hardness descaling intervals degree 1 soft 0 - 7° dH 700 up to 1000 cups 2 middle > 7 - 14° dH 500 up to 600 cups 3 hard > 14 - 21° dH 300 up to 400 cups 4 very hard > 21° dH 200 up to 250 cups 1° dH corresponds to approx. 0,18 mmol/l Ca and Mg Ions You can inquire about the hardness degree in your living area at the corresponding waterworks or at the local administration. We assume no guarantee for damages which arise through non-observance of the de-scaling instruc- tions. Pay attention that no damages are caused by a careful handling with the de-scaling solution. The complete de-scaling and rinsing procedure takes approx. 20 minutes. Take the following steps:

1. Remove the sieve holder (9).

2. Place a collection bowl with a capacity of at least

700 ml under the outlet / brewing head (8).

and 1 liter of water into the water container (4).

4. Shortly press the rinse button (E). The de-sca-

ling solution is pumped into the system and it runs from the brewing unit (8) into the collection bowl.13

5. Place the emptied collection bowl under the hot-

water / steam nozzle (6) and open the steam valve (5).

6. Shortly press the rinsing button (E). The de-

scaling solution is pumped through the system and runs from the hot-water / steam nozzle (6) into the collecting bowl.

7. Place the priorly rinsed water container (4), filled

with fresh water up to the max-marking, onto the appliance.

8. Put the emptied collection bowl under the brewing

unit (8) and close the steam valve (5).

9. Shortly press the rinsing button (E). The rinsing
