OPERATION

Brewing coffee and hot-water function
Fill the water tank without exceeding the Max mark.
Connect the coffee machine to a power supply and make sure the steam dial is set at the off position. Then the device will start pre-heating. The corresponding indicator lights are above the function indicators.
There are three indicator lights around the dial and one operating indicator light on each side. Coffee, hot water and steam functions cannot operate at the same time.

Pre-heating
Press the on/off button, the coffee machine will start pre-heating while the on/off indicator light blinks.

Standby
Once it is preheated, the device will enter standby mode and the 4 indicator lights and the steam indicator will turn steady.

Single espresso
In standby mode, place an espresso filter in the portafilter, pour 13 g of ground coffee into the filter and tamper. Align the portafilter with the portafilter bracket, insert it into place and turn it anticlockwise to lock it. Place a cup on the cup-holder tray. From the standby mode, press the single coffee button, the indicator light will blink and the machine will start brewing coffee. The function will end automatically. If desired, it can also be stopped manually by pressing the single espresso button again.

Double espresso
In standby mode, place a double espresso filter in the portafilter, pour 20 g of ground coffee into the filter and tamper. Align the portafilter with the portafilter bracket, insert it into place and turn it anticlockwise to lock it. Place 1 cup for a double espresso or 2 cups for 2 espressos on the cup- holder tray. From the standby mode, press the double coffee button, the indicator light will blink and the machine will start brewing a double espresso. The indicator light will blink and the machine will start brewing coffee. The pressure gauge will display pressure at which coffee is extracted during the brewing process and will be reset when it has finished. When the set amount reaches 60-75 ml, the function will end automatically. If desired, it can also be stopped manually by pressing the double espresso button again.

Coffee customisation

When the desired amount of coffee is reached, press the single or double espresso button and the device will record the amount of coffee. Next time it is used, the amount of single and double espresso will be the same as the last recording (the device will only take as valid amounts from 20 to 120 ml). Long press grind, single or double espresso button to restore the single and double espresso default settings. When brewing coffee, make sure that the funnel is turned anticlockwise into the correct position as shown below. Img. 3

Hot water
From standby mode, turn the dial to the hot-water position. The indicator light will turn on while the machine dispenses hot water. The coffee machine will dispense approx. 180-220 ml of hot water and then will automatically stop. The function can also be stopped manually by turning the dial to central position. When it has finished, it will enter standby mode again.

Steam (Steam tube)
From the standby mode, turn the dial from the “0” to the steam position, the steam tube will start emitting steam. The steam indicator light will blink. Turn the dial to the “0” position again to deactivate the function off.
Recommendation: Allow the coffee machine to rest for 1 minute after performing a continuous 10-minute steam operation to prevent it from overheating.
It is recommended to use whole and cold milk for best quality results. The steam function generates steam at high temperatures, be careful not to get burned.
Wait 3-5 seconds before turning the dial in vertical position and insert the steam tube into the milk.
Then turn the steam dial to froth position.
The steam function can last up to 5 minutes.
Foam the milk at 60 ºC .
After using this function, turn the dial back to its starting position, as any other functions will not be able to be used.

Sleep mode
The coffee machine will automatically enter sleep mode after 15 minutes of no operation. The On/off button will remain on. Press any button to quit sleep mode.
We recommend pre-heating the appliance, funnel, filters and cups before taking the coffee out.

Grinding coffee beans
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted.
Pre-ground coffee powder can only remain scented for 7 to 8 days unless it is stored in a sealed container and placed in a cool place. Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans are recommended to be ground just before use. The fragrance of the coffee beans stored in the sealed container can be maintained for 4 weeks.
This is a vital step in the espresso making process if you are grinding your own coffee and takes practice. The coffee must be of a fine grind. The correct grind should look like salt. If it is too finely ground, water will be difficultly filter through it. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between fingers.
If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full-flavored extraction.
Before using the coffee-bean grinding function make sure all the components are installed in place. Img. 4

The marks in the coffee-bean tank are meant to adjust the grinding coarseness. Img.5

0 > Fine grinding level 30 > Coarse grinding level
0 -15 > Slower extraction 15 – 30 > Faster extraction

Press the on/off button, the grinding indicator light will turn on indicating the grinding function is ready to be used. Add coffee beans to the tank. Insert the portafilter and place it on the portafilter holder. Push it forwards for the device to dispense ground coffee and adjust the grinding level with the grinding level dial while the grinder is operating. The grinding level must always be adjusted while the grinder is activated and operating. Turn the portafilter counterclockwise and select single or double, depending on the cup used. The indicator light will flash white during the grinding process. Note: If the portafilter is not fitted properly into position, the indicator will light up in red and will flash.

When the grinder function cannot be used normally, the indicator light on the left side will beep three times. When the bean grinder function is used for 3 minutes in a row, the system will automatically stop the function. After 6 minutes, the system will be able to operate again. When this happens, press the grinder button and the device will beep three times and the light on the left will flash.

Grinding time adjustment
This allows the user to use the grind function by the touch of a button. Long press the grind button and it will start operating. The system will record it and the next time the grind button is pressed, it will operate following this. The system only records times longer than 5 seconds.

Warnings:
Single or double espressos can be brewed only after the device has preheated. The machine will beep and its indicator lights will turn on when there is not enough water in the water tank. After refilling it, it will return to normal conditions. After running the steam function, wait until it enters standby mode before brewing coffee or dispensing hot water. These functions cannot be used while the machine cools down. Empty the cup-holder tray when the full tray indicator raises.

Tube cleaning reminder
The system includes a cleaning-reminder function and a cleaning program, which requires the user’s cooperation to complete during the cleaning process. The entire cleaning process is expected to take about 10 minutes. When starting the cleaning program, make sure the water tank is filled with at least 1 liter of water. Empty the cup-holder tray and put it back into place. Turn the device on and activate standby mode. Place two cups into the funnel and screw it to the funnel holder. The cleaning function can be exited at any time by pressing the power button.
