The coffee maker is intended for household use only and should not be used for commercial or laboratory purposes. Ensure that children do not play with polyethylene bags or packaging film as they pose a risk of suffocation. After transportation or storage at low temperature, keep the coffee maker for at least three hours at room temperature before using it. Clean the coffee maker parts with water and neutral detergent before using and rinse and dry them.

Product Usage Instructions

Preparation

To fill the water tank with water, lift the lid, fold it back and pour water into the tank. Do not use the lid to carry the water tank. Ensure that the filter holder ledges match the grooves on the coffee maker and light up. Switch on the water supply by pressing the button to switch on the pump. After the appearance of water in the cup, switch off the water supply.

Preheating

Preheat the coffee filter and filter holder by removing the tank and filling it with water. Install the tank back to its place.
Ensure that the filter holder ledges match the grooves on the coffee maker and light up.

Making Espresso

When making coffee, do not leave the operating coffee maker unattended as you need to watch the cup being filled with ready coffee. After preheating, prepare ground coffee with the backside of the measuring spoon and add it to the filter. Ensure that the filter holder ledges match the grooves on the coffee maker and light up. The pump will switch on for 3 seconds to pre-wet the ground coffee in the filter, and after a three-second pause, the pump will switch on and work until it is switched off. The pump operation time is limited to 60 seconds. If during this time, the cup is not filled with ready coffee, switch on the water supply again.

Product Cleaning

After making coffee, turn off the coffee maker and remove the filter holder by turning the handle to the left. Wash the filter and use the retainer on the handle to prevent the filter from falling off. Preliminarily heat up the cups and put them on the tray. If you need to remove the filter holder promptly, reduce the pressure in the boiler, switch off the coffee maker, open the steam supply slightly, and wait for the pressure in the boiler to release.
