BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Remove the appliance from the packaging and check that all of the contents are there.
2. Clean all removable accessories.
3. Use the machine as described in the sections 'Making espresso' and 'Making cappuccino' (without coffee powder in the filter). Repeat this 2-3 times.
4. Remove the red silicone cap from the water tank before using the machine.

Size: 70x45 mm

Water tank OR Red Silicone Red Silicone

Note: Remove the red silicon before use!

MAKING ESPRESSO

For example for 2 cups

1. Open the cover and remove the water tank. Fill the water tank with water up to the maximum mark. Make sure that the water level does not exceed the maximum mark.
2. Put the water tank back into the appliance and close the cover.
3. Plug the power plug into the mains socket. The appliance performs a self-test. The control panel lights up first and then goes out. The power indicator lights up red continuously. Press the on/off button. The cup indicator lights flash red, the steam button lights up red continuously and the appliance heats up. After about one minute, both button indicators light up red, the steam indicator lights up red and preheating is complete.
4. Remove the filter holder and use the coffee spoon to put the appropriate amount of coffee (15-17 grams) into the filter. Press the coffee down firmly. Remove excess coffee powder from the rim to avoid damaging the sealing ring of the brew group head.

Note: If too much coffee powder remains on the edge of the filter, this can lead to an insufficient seal and water leaking out.

1. Firmly hold the upper part of the appliance with your hand. Secure the filter holder in the brew group head in an anticlockwise direction (must be tightened).
2. Place one (two) cup(s) under the coffee outlet of the appliance.
3. Press the desired cup button (one or two cups). The appliance starts pumping water and the coffee flows out of the coffee nozzle.
4. The espresso machine stops operating automatically (from flashing to steady light). The coffee is then ready and the cup can be removed.

Note: Do not leave the espresso machine unattended during use as your manual intervention may be required.

1. When you have finished making coffee, remove the funnel by turning it anticlockwise. Remove the coffee grounds from the filter and rinse it with hot water. Press one of the cup buttons (one or two cups), rinse the outlet with water and reattach the funnel to the brew group head and wait until the next time you use the appliance.
2. Use the single coffee filter to make a cup of coffee. Press the button for one cup of coffee. The steps are then the same as for the button for 2 cups of coffee.

CAUTION

Risk of burns! To avoid scalding, do not touch the hot appliance surfaces, especially when the steam nozzle is in use.

MAKING COFFEE

The ground coffee beans and the grinding quality largely determine the quality of the coffee. It should take 20-25 seconds to make a cup of coffee.

If the coffee powder is too coarse, the coffee extraction will be insufficient, the taste will be weak and the colour will be lighter. The foam will also be very thin and the colour will be white. If the coffee powder is too fine, the coffee will be extracted too much. It will look too dark and have no foam.

For a good cup of coffee, use the right amount of freshly ground coffee beans (use a coffee grinder). If you make coffee with coffee powder, the freshness of the beans is very important. Coffee bean oil can decompose if stored for a long time.

MAKING CAPPUCCINO

1. First make a cup of espresso in a sufficiently large cup (see section "MAKING ESPRESSO").
2. Use fresh whole milk from the refrigerator (8-10 °C) and fill a measuring cup 1/3 full with milk.

Note: Use a stainless steel cup with a diameter of at least 70 mm, as the milk expands during frothing

1. Touch the steam button to start preheating. The buttons for one and two cups of coffee light up continuously in red and the steam indicator starts flashing red. As soon as the steam indicator lights up continuously in white, preheating is complete.
2. Place an empty cup under the steam outlet and turn the steam control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position. Drain some water through the steam line and, as soon as steam comes out, turn the steam knob clockwise to close the steam outlet-
3. Hold the cup filled with milk under the steam outlet and make sure that the steam nozzle is under the surface of the milk.
4. To froth the milk, turn the steam knob to the maximum position.
5. Once the milk has been frothed, turn the steam knob to close the steam outlet and remove the cup. Pour the frothed milk into the espresso you prepared earlier. Your cappuccino is now ready. You can add sugar or grated coconut, depending on your taste.

Note: Clean the steam outlet and steam line as soon as steam has stopped coming out. Make sure that no milk is left in the steam lines and on the steam outlet, otherwise it could deposit on the walls of the lines and dry out. Please note that the appliance will still be very hot immediately after use. There is a risk of scalding.

HEATING WATER

1. Place a container under the hot water outlet.
2. When the indicator lights for one and for two cups are permanently white, turn the steam knob up. Hot water comes out of the steam nozzle. The indicator light for one cup flashes during this time.
3. Once the desired amount of water has been reached, turn the steam knob to close. Hot water will then no longer flow out.

The hot water function can also be used to cool down the appliance quickly.

Note: Take care when using the appliance as there are hot appliance components (especially the water outlet (filter holder), hot water nozzle and steam line). Do not place your hands on the unit when using it.

HEATING LIQUIDS (STEAM FUNCTION)

1. Use a stainless steel cup. Fill it halfway with cold liquid.

Note: Use a stainless steel cup with a diameter of at least 70 mm, otherwise the liquid could overflow when steam escapes.

1. Touch the steam button to start preheating. The buttons for one and two cups of coffee light up continuously in red and the steam indicator starts flashing red. As soon as the steam indicator lights up continuously in white, preheating is complete.
2. Place an empty cup under the steam outlet and make sure that the steam nozzle is below the surface of the liquid.
3. Open the steam knob and let the steam flow into the liquid.
4. Close the steam knob as soon as the desired temperature has been reached. No more steam will come out.

Note: Clean the steam outlet and steam line as soon as steam has stopped coming out. Make sure that no milk is left in the steam lines and on the steam outlet, otherwise it could deposit on the walls of the lines and dry out. Please note that the appliance will still be very hot immediately after use. There is a risk of scalding.

• Clean all accessories with water and dry everything thoroughly.
• Clean the drip tray and the drip tray cover regularly and dry them afterwards.
• Clean the water tank regularly.

Descaling

Over time, limescale residues form inside the appliance. Descale the appliance at least every 2-3 months.

1 Pour water and descaler in a ratio of 4:1 into the water tank until it is filled with water up to the maximum mark. Use a household descaler for this purpose. If you use citric acid for descaling, the ratio of water to citric acid is 100:3.
2 Secure the filter holder (without coffee powder) in the brew group head (see section 'Making espresso').
3 Press the coffee button and prepare approximately 150 ml of coffee (or make 3 cups of coffee). Then press the steam button. The appliance heats up. Open the steam knob as soon as the steam indicator lights up steadily. Allow steam to escape for about 2 minutes and turn the steam knob off. Now leave the descaler in the appliance for at least 15 minutes.
4 Repeat step 4 3 times.
5 Press the button for 2 cups of coffee and repeat this step until there is no descaler left in the appliance.

6 Press the coffee button again (without adding coffee powder) and repeat step 43 times (without waiting 15 minutes). Then brew coffee (without adding coffee powder) until there is no more water in the water tank.
7 Repeat step 6 at least 3 times to ensure that the lines are free of residues.
