Care and Maintenance

Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the Barista Pro from the mains power supply and allow it to cool fully.
STEP 1: Wipe the Barista Pro main unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the Barista Pro main unit in water or any other liquid.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the Barista Pro as this could cause damage.
STEP 2: Wash the pressurized funnel, water tank, coffee filter, coffee spoon, drip plate and drip tray in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing  inside the Barista Pro.

Removing Limescale
Limescale can develop over time and may affect the performance and lifespan of the Barista Pro.
It is recommended to descale the Barista Pro regularly, at least once every three months, especially if used in a hard water area. Frequent descaling will improve the  performance and lifespan of the Barista Pro.
STEP 1: Fill the water tank to the max. fill mark with cold water.
STEP 2: Add a commercial descaling agent, adhering to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is not recommended to use vinegar to descale the Barista Pro.
STEP 3: Run the Barista Pro until it has cycled approx. 2 cups of water. Switch off, leave to soak for approx. 15 minutes, and then switch on again. Repeat until all the water  has been cycled.
STEP 4: Empty the cups. Refill the water tank to the max. fill mark with clean water. Run the barista pro at least twice more and pour the water away once it has cooled. The Barista Pro should now be descaled, clean, and ready for use. If any traces of descaling product residue remain, run more clean water through the Barista Pro until it is  completely clean.
If the Barista Pro switches off before it has boiled or a white deposit is noticed on the inside of the water tank, it needs to be descaled.

Instructions for Use

Before First Use
STEP 1: Before using the Barista Pro for the first time, remove the water tank anc accessories and wash them in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
STEP 2: Wipe the Barista Pro main unit with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.
NOTE: When using the Barista Pro for the first time, a slight odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside.
Allow for sufficient ventilation around the Barista Pro.
Preparing Coffee
STEP 1: Remove the coffee filter from the pressurized funnel by twisting the filter unt the tabs on both are aligned. Gently pull the coffee filter away from the pressurized funnel.
STEP 2: Pull the water tank out from the Barista Pro main unit and fill with cold water until the desired level is reached. The fill line indicates the number of cups of coffee that will be produced. Slide the water tank back into the Barista Pro main unit until it clicks into place.
STEP 3: Add the desired amount of finely ground or regular ground coffee to the reusable coffee filter and flatten using the bottom of the coffee spoon. One level spoonful  should make one cup of coffee. More or less coffee can be used, to taste.
Replace the coffee filter into the pressurized funnel and twist to lock into place.
STEP 4: Align the tabs on the pressurized funnel with the tabs on the hot water dispenser, checking that the funnel handle is facing outwards to the left. Twist the pressurized funnel handle to lock into place. To remove the funnel, twist in the opposite direction and pull away from the Barista Pro main unit.
Using the Barista Pro
STEP 1: Plug in and switch on the Barista Pro at the mains power supply. Press the on/off button to turn the Barista Pro on; the power indicator light will illuminate to signal  that the Barista Pro is in operation. Place one or two suitably sized cups onto the drip plate directly under the coffee dispensing holes and wait for the coffee indicator  light to illuminate. This will take approx. 30 seconds.
STEP 2: Once the coffee indicator light has illuminated, signaling the Barista Pro is at the correct temperature to produce coffee, push the pump control button to begin the coffee dispensing process. The process can take several minutes depending upon the volume of water added to the water tank and the size of the cup(s) used.
STEP 3: Once the desired amount of coffee has dripped from the dispensing holes into the coffee cup(s), push the pump control button to halt the dispensing process and  remove the cup from the drip plate. It is recommended to wait 1-2 minutes before doing this to allow the Barista Pro to cool and let any excess water drip into the coffee  cup(s). Take care when handling as the coffee cup is likely to have become hot during operation.
STEP 4: Carefully serve the coffee as desired.
Preparing Hot Water
STEP 1: Place a suitable vessel with a handle underneath the steam spout.
STEP 2: Fill the water tank until the desired level is reached.
STEP 3: Push the pump control button, then twist the steam control dial slightly to begin water preparation, During use, twist the steam dial in an anticlockwise direction to  increase hot water flow from the steam spout.
STEP 4: Once enough hot water has been produced, return the steam control dial to the ‘0’ position. Then push the pump selector button to cease production.
NOTE: The coffee function and hot water function cannot be used simultaneously.
The amount of coffee produced will be slightly less than the amount of cold water poured into the water tank, as the coffee grounds will retain some water.
Do not overfill the coffee filter.
Do not switch on the Barista Pro without any water in the water tank.
Do not open the water tank during the brewing cycle, as this will allow steam to escape and could cause scalding or burns.
WARNING: Allow the Barista Pro to cool for approx. 3 minutes before using again.
lf the Barista Pro does not cool completely before reuse, water placed in the water tank may overheat. This will allow hot steam to escape, which could injure the user. Keep hands well away from any hot liquids during use.

Steaming Milk

Whole milk can be steamed for serving flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes.
STEP 1: With the steam dial set to the ‘0’ position, pour at least 100 ml of water into the water tank. Press the steam control button and wait until the steam indicator light illuminates, this may take up to 60 seconds.
STEP 2: Place the required amount of milk into a heatproof container with a handle, and position at the end of the steam spout. The steam spout should be submerged at  least 2 cm in the milk.
STEP 3: Turn the steam control dial in an anticlockwise direction to produce more steam, leaving the steam spout submerged in the milk. After approx. 20 seconds, steam  will be released from the spout.
STEP 4: Gently move the heatproof container up and down; the milk will be steamed, making it hot and frothy.
STEP 5: Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, turn the steam control dial back to the ‘0’ position.
STEP 6: Carefully, remove the steam spout from the milk. The milk can now be used to make coffee. Wipe off any residue left on the steam spout once it has cooled.
NOTE: The milk may double in volume whilst steaming; make sure the heatproof container is sufficiently underfilled to allow for this.
Always hold the heatproof container by its handle, as the milk becomes very hot.
Be careful not to burn the milk. Milk makes a distinctive sound when it reaches boiling point, at which point the steam dial should be turned to ‘0’.
CAUTION: Whilst the steam wand is being primed, some steam/water droplets may be released from the cradle holder. This will subside once the steam wand is activated.

Hints and Tips

1. Always use fresh, cold water to fill the water tank.

2. The quantity of ground coffee can be adapted to taste. For stronger coffee, increase the amount of coffee and set to the ‘BOLD’ strength option.
   Alternatively, use less coffee grounds for weaker coffee.

3. If using regular ground coffee, more is needed per cup to achieve the same strength as finer ground coffee.

4. After using packaged ground coffee, tightly reseal it and store in a cool, dry place.

5. To achieve optimum coffee taste, use whole coffee beans and finely grind them before brewing.

6. Do not reuse ground coffee or loose tea that has already been used in the Barista Pro, as this will greatly reduce the flavour of the coffee.

7. Reheating coffee is not recommended, as it affects the taste. Storage

The Barista Pro must be cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the Barista Pro; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
