Important safety instructions

● Before the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage

may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

- Caution: the filter holder, boiler outlet, drainer and steam tube heat up during operation.

- Do not open the steam nozzle unless a suitable container is placed underneath. Caution: there is a danger of scalding from hot steam being emitted.

● Always keep your hands well away from the outlet openings (boiler outlet, filter holder, steam nozzle) during operation: danger of scalding.

- Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance.

- Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use. Do not position the appliance on or near hot surfaces, open flames or inflammable vapours.

● This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

● Always remove the plug from the wall socket after using the espresso maker, as well as

- in cases of malfunction and - during cleaning.

- When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.

● Before inserting the plug into a suitable wall outlet, ensure that

• all accessory parts have been correctly fitted,
• the appliance has been filled with water,
• the On/Off switch is in its Off-position, and
• the valve selector control is set to its neutral position.

● Do not use the appliance outdoors;

protect it from zero or sub-zero temperatures at all times.

  ● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.

Valve selector control

The valve selector control has three settings:

Dispensing steam via the steam nozzle

Pump is switched off / neutral position

Pump is switched on: dispensing espresso or hot water via the boiler outlet

As soon as the valve selector control is turned from its neutral position, either the steam nozzle or boiler outlet will open, and steam or hot water will be emitted.

Before using for the first time

• Before the appliance is used for the first time, all detachable parts must be thoroughly cleaned as described in the section General Care and Cleaning. Refit the drip tray and drainer to the appliance afterwards.

• Important: before the appliance is used for the first time, it is essential to 'bleed' the system, i.e. to remove the air contained in the internal circuits. This is to prevent the boiler from heating up while still empty:

• Fill the container with water.

• Insert the filter holder with the filter sieve, but without putting any ground coffee in.
• Place a suitable container underneath

the outlet openings.

• Insert the plug into a wall outlet.
• Use the On/Off switch to turn the appliance on, and immediately activate the valve selector control (position 📋). The boiler now fills with water and the heating process starts.
• Leave the pump running until a continuous stream of water is emitted from the filter holder. Then switch off the pump by turning the valve selector control to its neutral position.

- Before making espresso for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three filtration cycles using the indicated maximum amount of water, but without using any ground coffee. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time.

Operation

General

Espresso is a strong coffee with its typical froth, the ‘crema’, made from dark-roasted coffee beans. For making espresso, especially finely ground coffee is necessary. Hot water is forced through the coffee under high pressure, and the espresso is delivered straight into the typical small espresso cups with a content of 30-50 ml.

For the steam function, a significantly higher operating temperature is necessary than for making espresso. Once the selector control is operated to dispense steam, this temperature will be achieved automatically once the selector control is set to the steam function.

- Filling with water:

• Fill only with fresh water on a daily basis; make sure that the water container is cleaned at regular intervals. Do not switch the appliance on unless the water container is filled.
• Open the water container lid.
• Lift out the water container by its handle.

- Fill the container with (non-carbonated) cold water while observing the 'Max' marking on the water container.

- Once filled, replace the container in the appliance by its handle and push it down in order to open the valve in the bottom.

- Close the lid on the water container.

- The water level must be frequently watched and, if necessary, the container must be refilled in good time.

- Should the pump have started sucking in air from the empty water container, fill the water container first with the indicated maximum amount of water. When ‘bleeding’ the system afterwards, it may take a few moments before water is emitted again.

- Deposits of dirt and lime may cause the seals in the outlet at the bottom of the water container and the seals around the valves to leak. Check the seals carefully each time the water container is inserted and, if necessary, carefully remove any existing deposits.

- Inserting/removing the filter holder

- The filter holder is fitted to the appliance by means of a bayonet type locking socket. When attaching the filter holder, its grip handle must be facing to the left of the boiler outlet (picture I). To lock, turn the filter holder firmly as far as possible to the left, i.e. in an anti-clockwise direction (picture II).

- To unlock and remove the filter holder, turn it to the right, i.e. clockwise.

- Do not remove the filter holder while the appliance is in use, since the filter holder is under pressure.

- Preheating the cups and the filter holder

We recommend pre-heating the cups and the filter holder, as this will ensure a higher coffee temperature.

- Insert the appropriate filter sieve for 1 or 2 cups into the filter holder.

- Fit the filter holder to the appliance and place one or two cups underneath the holder.

- As soon as the operating temperature has been reached, the green temperature indicator light comes on.

- Turn the valve selector control to the symbol.

- Let the cup(s) fill up to approximately 34 , and then turn the valve selector control to its neutral position in order to switch off the pump.

- Put the cup(s) aside to warm up and pour out the water just prior to making espresso.

The cups may also be placed on the warming top to pre-heat them.

- Filling the filter sieve with ground coffee / removing the coffee grounds

- Filling with ground coffee

• Remove the preheated filter holder (Caution: the filter holder is hot).

• Fill with finely ground coffee:

• 1 cup = 1 level measuring scoop

• 2 cups = 2 level measuring scoops

Note: if the filter holder is overfilled, it will not lock properly under the boiler outlet. 2 level measuring scoops is the maximum quantity.

- Use the measuring scoop to distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it down lightly. Any excess coffee powder on the rim of the filter holder must be removed.

- Removing the used grounds

• After the brewing cycle is complete, wait approximately 10 seconds until the operating pressure has been sufficiently reduced.
• Exercise caution when removing the filter holder: it may still contain some hot water.
• Please note that, when preparing 2

cups of espresso, slightly more water will remain on the espresso grounds.

- To remove the coffee grounds, hold the filter sieve in the filter holder and then gently tap the side of the holder against a vertical surface.

- Retaining insert for espresso pads

- Inserting the espresso pad:

• Remove the pre-heated filter holder (Caution: the holder is hot).
• Insert an espresso pad into filter sieve 'c' (pad sieve).

- Removing the used espresso pad:

- After the brewing cycle is complete, wait for approximately 10 seconds until the operating pressure has been sufficiently reduced.

- Exercise caution when removing the filter holder: it is hot and may still contain some hot water. Pour out the water carefully. Allow the filter holder to cool down briefly.

- To remove the used espresso pad, hold the filter sieve in the filter holder and then gently tap the side of the holder against a vertical surface.

Drip tray

The tray must be fitted whenever the espresso maker is switched on.

The water level in the tray must be carefully monitored and always emptied in good time. Do not remove the drip tray unless the appliance has been switched off and has had sufficient time to cool down.

To remove the tray, pull it away from the appliance and lift it out.

Preparation

Espresso

– Fill the container with water.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off switch to turn the appliance on. The main red indicator

light comes on.

• Preheat the filter holder and the cup(s).
• Remove the filter holder, fill with ground coffee and re-attach it.
• Place the cup(s) underneath the outlets.
• Turn the valve selector control to the position. The espresso is now delivered straight into the cup(s)
• Once the cup(s) are filled, turn the valve selector control to its neutral position to switch the pump off.
• Wait for approximately 10 seconds before detaching the filter holder and removing the coffee grounds.
• The espresso maker is now ready for another brewing cycle.

Dispensing hot water

• Insert the filter holder with the filter sieve, but without putting any ground coffee in.
• Position a cup underneath the outlet openings.
• Turn the valve selector control to the position.
• Once the desired quantity of water has been collected, turn the valve selector control to its neutral position to switch the pump off.

Note: this procedure is also used for 'bleeding' the system.

Dispensing steam

This appliance is designed to dispense steam for heating up milk or other beverages through the steam nozzle, and also for the frothing of milk when making cappuccino. To dispense steam, turn the valve selector control to the ⚙ position. Steam will be emitted after a brief heating-period.

To ensure that the boiler outlet is safely covered, the filter holder and sieve should be fitted when steam is being dispensed.

- Making cappuccino

Generally, cappuccino is made using espresso, hot milk and milk froth in equal parts. For cappuccino, bigger cups

must be used.

The espresso must be prepared before the steam function is used for frothing the milk.

- Frothing the milk

• Fill a suitable jug with around 100 ml of cold milk (do not preheat the jug).
• Place another (different) container under the steam tube to begin with.
• Turn the valve selector control to the position. After a few seconds, steam and water will be emitted from the nozzle.
• As soon as steam only (no water) is emitted, position the jug containing the milk under the steam tube.
• Move the jug round with a circular motion for around 40-45 seconds, making sure that the nozzle remains submerged while frothing is in progress.
• As soon as the milk appears to be sufficiently frothy, turn the valve selector control to its neutral position to switch the pump off. During frothing, the milk will heat up, but must not be allowed to reach boiling point.
• Once the valve selector is in the neutral position, a slight noise will be heard. This is due to technical processes and perfectly normal.
• Pour the hot milk into the cup containing the espresso coffee and, using a spoon, spread the milk froth over it.

- Reheating beverages

• Insert the steam nozzle into the liquid to be reheated and turn the valve selector control to the position.
• Once the liquid has reached the desired temperature turn the valve selector control to its neutral position.

General Care and Cleaning

● Before cleaning the espresso maker, ensure it is disconnected from the power

supply and has cooled down completely.

● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water.
- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
● Before cleaning the appliance, and also in the case of the appliance remaining unused for an extended period of time, the remaining water in the container should be drained completely. The water container should be thoroughly rinsed at regular intervals.
● The steam nozzle must be cleaned immediately after the frothing process. Wiping the nozzle with a wet cloth should suffice.

- If the steam nozzle becomes blocked, proceed as follows:

• Pull the milk frother off the steam nozzle.
• Unscrew the nozzle from the steam tube, using the measuring scoop as a tool.
• Insert a fine pin or needle into the opening of the steam nozzle to remove the blockage.
• Screw the steam nozzle back onto the tube.

• Push the milk frother back onto the nozzle.

• All removable parts may be cleaned with warm, soapy water.

• Always empty the drip tray in good time. Drip tray and drainer may be cleaned with warm, soapy water.
• The exterior housing may be wiped with a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
• The boiler outlet may be wiped with a moist cloth.
• The gasket area around the boiler outlet (at the bayonet locking socket) should be cleaned using a brush. A hard brush is recommended.

Descaling

Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household

appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning.

For descaling, any commercially available citric-acid-based descaling agent for coffee makers may be used.

• Pour the descaling solution into the water container.
• As described in the section Making espresso, but without any ground coffee being placed in and, with the filter insert removed, switch the appliance on and let it run, cup for cup, through the filtration cycles. Allow 5 minutes between each cycle for the descaling agent to take effect.
• To clean the appliance after descaling, fill the water container twice with clean water and let each filling run through its filtration cycles until the container is nearly empty.
• Rinse the filter holder thoroughly with warm water.
• Do not pour descalers down enamelled sinks.

Disposal

Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
