To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent, you should rinse the coffee machine with hot water as follows:

1. Pour water into the water tank, the water level should not exceed the “MAX” mark in the tank. Close the water-tank cover.
   Note : the appliance is equipped with a detachable water tank for easy cleaning. Fill up the water tank first and put it back in the device.

2. Insert the stainless-steel filter into the portafilter without ground coffee. Then, insert the portafilter into the appliance, matching the shape of the filter holder and the shape of the water outlet. Turn the portafilter counterclockwise until the handle is aligned with the “lock” mark on the appliance.

3. Place a jar on the removable grille. Make sure the steam knob is in the off position.

4. Plug the device into a power supply. The plug must be accessible so that, in case of an emergency, it can be easily unplugged.

5. Press the Preheating-function button: the indicator light will start blinking. Wait until the indicator light stops blinking.

6. Press the coffee button. The coffee machine will pump water into the jug; press the button again when the jug is full to stop the water. The indicator light will blink again until the coffee machine stops preheating. Repeat this process twice.

Note: you may hear a noise when the coffee machine pumps water for the first time. This is completely normal, as air is being released inside the machine. After about 20 seconds, the noise will stop.

OPERATION

Preheating

• To prepare a cup of good hot espresso coffee, it is recommended to preheat the coffee machine before brewing coffee, including the filter holder, filter, and cup to prevent flavour from being altered by cold parts.
• Remove the detachable water tank, open the tank cover, and fill it up. The water level should not exceed the “MAX” mark in the tank. Install the tank back in the device.
• Insert the stainless-steel filter into the portafilter. Then, insert the portafilter into the appliance, matching the shape of the filter holder and the shape of the water outlet. Turn the portafilter counterclockwise until the handle is aligned with the “lock” mark on the appliance.
• Place an espresso cup on the removable grille.
• Plug the coffee machine to a power supply. Make sure the steam knob is in the off position.
• Press the preheating-function button and the indicator light will start blinking. Wait until the indicator light stops blinking.
• Press the coffee button. The coffee machine will pump water into the cup, heating all parts that are going to be in contact with coffee. Press the button again when the cup is full to stop brewing. The indicator light will blink again until the product stops preheating.

Preparing Espresso coffee

• After preheating, remove the portafilter from the main body by turning it clockwise. Use a dry cloth to dry it. Fill the filter with ground coffee using the measuring spoon and press it tightly with the opposite side of the spoon.
• Then, insert the portafilter into the appliance, matching the shape of the filter holder and the shape of the water outlet. Turn the portafilter counterclockwise until the handle is aligned with the “lock” mark on the appliance. Make sure the steam knob is in the off position.
• Pour out hot water in the cup and place the hot cup on the removable grille.
• Once the indicator light stops blinking, press the coffee button for coffee to start flowing into the cup. Press the button again to stop brewing coffee once you get the desired amount of drink.

Warning: do not leave the coffee machine unattended while in use, as you need to stop it manually.

• When coffee is ready, remove the portafilter by turning it clockwise. Throw away the coffee residues by pressing the filter with the filter fastener and turning it upside down over an appropriate waste container.
• Let all parts cool down and rinse them with water.

Frothing milk

• Prepare an espresso as indicated in the previous section; make sure that the steam knob is in the off position.

• Press the steam button and wait until the indicator light stops blinking.

• Fill a jug with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino you want to prepare. It is recommended to use cold whole milk for optimal results.
  Note: use a jug with a diameter greater than 70±5 mm, and bear in mind milk doubles its volume during this process, make sure the jug is high enough.

  • Slowly turn the steam knob counterclockwise. Steam will come out from the steam outlet.
    Note: do not turn the steam knob quickly, as a great amount of steam could accumulate in a short period of time and could be dangerous.

• To get larger bubbles, insert the steamer by about 2 cm into the milk.

• To generate a denser foam with smaller bubbles, insert steamer 1 cm into the milk and tilt it, placing the steamer spout on the lower side of the jug.

• When finished, turn the steam knob to the off position and press the steam button again to deactivate the function.
  Warning: clean the steam outlet with a wet sponge immediately after use. Then, remove the steamer and clean the inner duct. It is also recommended to emit steam again to clean possible milk remaining inside the tube.

• Pour frothed milk into the espresso to prepare cappuccino.

Note: it is recommended to allow the appliance to cool down for at least 5 minutes before brewing coffee again. Otherwise, your espresso might have a light burnt odour.

Dispensing hot water

• Press the coffee button and make sure the steam knob is off. The indicator light will stop blinking once the coffee machine reaches the desired temperature.
• Turn the steam knob counterclockwise (at least 135º). Then, press the middle button. Hot water will flow out from the steam outlet.

Steam-heating other liquids

• The steamer (without the tube) can be used to heat beverages like hot chocolate, water, or tea.
• Remove the detachable water tank, open the tank cover, and fill it up. The water level should not exceed the “MAX” mark in the tank. Install the tank back in the device.
• Plug the coffee machine to a power supply. Make sure the steam knob is in the off position.
• Press the steam button and the indicator light will start blinking. Wait until the light stops blinking.

Cleaning mineral deposits
Clean the mineral deposits every 2-3 months to ensure that the coffee machine operates properly, that the internal piping is clean, and that coffee flavour is good.
