OPERATION

1. Make sure that the espresso machine is switched off and unplugged from the mains.
2. Hold the water tank handle and remove the water tank.
3. Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water. DO NOT exceed the maximum fill level marked "MAX".
4. Reinsert the water tank to ensure that it is properly seated.
5. Insert the filter in the portafilter. Pour the espresso powder into the brewing unit using the measuring spoon provided. The pressure in the filter is as important for a good espresso as the type of coffee and the degree of grinding. Always ensure that the filter is clean and free of ground coffee residue.

• If the grind is too fine, there will be over-extraction and bitterness, with a patchy and uneven cream on top.
• If the grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and there will not be enough cream on top of the espresso.
• If necessary, add more espresso powder to fill the filter.
• Compress the espresso powder again with the tamper.
• Wipe off any excess coffee from the rim to ensure a good fit under the brewing head and to avoid leaks.
• Compacting the espresso powder is an important part of the espresso preparation process.
• If the espresso powder is compressed very tightly, the espresso will flow slowly and there will be more cream.
• If the espresso powder is not compressed very tightly, the espresso will flow more quickly and there will be less cream.
• Attach the portafilter to the brew head. Slide the handle to the left, then turn the handle to the right until it clicks into place. Release the handle, the portafilter should sit securely in the brew head and face forward at a 90^ angle.

1. Place one or two pre-heated cups under the coffee spout.
2. After plugging in, press the ON/OFF button, all indicators will be stable.

Steamfunction

You can do two things with "steam". You can heat the milk or mix the air with the milk to create a frothy texture. But you have to be patient if you want the milk texture to be perfect.

1. Determine the amount of milk needed based on the number of cups you will be making.

Note: Remember that the volume of milk will increase during the texturing process.

1. Pour cold, chilled milk into the stainless steel frothing pitcher about 1/3 full.
2. When you press the steam button, it will flash. It will stabilise when it's ready to use.
3. Clean the water on the steam wand. The steam function is activated by

turning the steam control knob to on. You can turn the control knob to the OFF position when there is no more water.

1. Turn the steam wand to the side of the machine.
2. Place the steam wand in the milk so that the nozzle is about 1 cm below the surface and activate the steam function by pressing the STEAM button and turning the STEAM control knob to the ON position.
3. Turn the cup so that the steam wand is in contact with the nozzle and lower the cup until the tip of the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk. This will start the frothing process in the milk.

Note: Do not allow the steam to spray unevenly, as this will produce aerated foam/bubbles. If this happens, raise the cup to lower the steam nozzle further into the milk.

1. As the steam heats and textures the milk, the level of milk in the cup will begin to rise. As this happens, follow the level of the milk by lowering the cup, always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.
2. When the froth has formed, raise the cup until the steam spout is in the centre of the milk.

Note: Each drink requires a different amount of froth. For example, a cappuccino needs more foam than a latte.

1. You must turn the steam knob to "OFF" to stop the steam immediately.

Note: Do not boil the milk.

1. Remove the cup, wipe the steam wand and nozzle with a clean, damp cloth and immediately release a small amount of steam.

Make Cappucino/ Frothed milk

You get a cup of cappuccino when you add foamed milk to a cup of espresso.

1. Prepare an espresso using a large enough container as described in the "Hot Espresso" section, making sure that the steam knob is in the OFF position.
2. Press the steam warm-up button, the coffee button indicator will go out, wait until the steam warm-up button indicator lights up.
3. Fill the milk container with about 200ml of milk for the cappuccino to be prepared, it is recommended to use whole milk at refrigerator temperature (not hot!).

Note: Remember that milk doubles in volume, so make sure that the height of the milk container is sufficient.

Note: The milk container is not included in the scope of delivery and can be purchased separately (article number: 10046331).

1. Slowly turn the steam knob anti-clockwise, steam will come out of the frother.

Note: Never turn the steam knob quickly, as steam will build up rapidly in a short time, increasing the risk of explosion.

1. Insert the steam nozzle into the rubber tube, froth the milk by moving the container up and down (you could adjust the bubble to adjust the knob of the milk tank).
2. When the desired result is achieved, turn the steam control knob to the OFF position.

Note: Clean the steam outlet with a wet sponge immediately after the steam production stops, but be careful not to injure yourself!

1. Pour the frothed milk into the prepared espresso, the cappuccino is now ready. Sweeten to taste and sprinkle with cocoa powder if desired.
2. Press the power button to switch off the machine. All indicators will go out.

Note: If you wish to make coffee immediately after making steam, the Coffee indicator will flash as an alarm when the Coffee button is touched, at this time you should turn the steam control knob to the ON position to pump hot water to allow the machine to cool down.

Cooling function

You must allow the machine to cool down if you want to make coffee again after frothing milk, or immediately after frothing milk or cleaning the steam pipe.

Otherwise the coffee will be burnt and splashed. You can continue making coffee after the machine has cooled down.

The temperature will be higher after cleaning the steam tube and frothing milk. To stop the steam function, press the special button. Turn the steam knob to "ON" to release hot water to cool the machine. After a while, turn the stream knob to "OFF". The coffeemaker is ready to use again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

During cleaning, the machine must be switched off and the plug unplugged. We strongly recommend that you do not immerse any part of the machine in water or other liquids. To clean, simply wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry before storing.

Cleaning the filters, filter holder and brew head

The stainless steel filters must be cleaned thoroughly. The filter holder should be rinsed under running water immediately after use to remove any coffee residue.

Periodically run water through the machine with the filter holder in place, but without ground coffee, to rinse out any remaining coffee grounds.

Use a damp, clean cloth to clean and wipe well inside the brew head to remove any coffee residue.

Cleaning the outer housing/cup warming plate

Do not use ordinary or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the outer casing. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the outer casing and cup warming plate.

Cleaning the drip tray rack

The small rack must be removed, cleaned and emptied frequently, especially when the drip tray is full. The rack can be washed and rinsed thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive detergent (do not use abrasive cleaners, pads or cloths that may scratch the surface).

Cleaning the drip tray

The drip tray must be removed when the stand is removed. Then clean it with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring agents).

Note: Do not clean any parts or accessories in a dishwasher.

Cleaning the steam wand

You will need to clean the steam wand after steaming milk. Use a damp cloth to wipe the steam wand and then turn the steam wand back into the drip tray, facing back into the drip tray, you must briefly turn the steam control knob to on. This will release any remaining milk from inside the steam wand. Make sure the steam wand knob is in the OFF position. Switch off the machine, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool down. If the steam wand remains blocked, use the piercing tool to clean the opening.
