Before Initial Use

NOTES

• Always set up the device with a clear space at the sides (at least 20 cm) and clear space above it (at least 30 cm) on a flat, solid and heat‐resistant surface that is resistant to splashing.
• Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them!
• The surfaces of furniture may possibly contain elements which can attack and soften the adjustable feet of the device. If necessary, place a suitable pad below the adjustable feet.
• There may still be some production residues on the device. To avoid harmful effects to your health, clean the device before you first use it (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter).
• Wipe down the device with a clean, damp cloth. Rinse the water tank (1), the milk container (9), the portafilter (12), the two filters, the drip tray (10), the cover (11) and the spoon with tamper with a little mild detergent and clear water.

1. Set up the device in a suitable location, following the safety instructions and the notes provided at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Completely unwind the mains cable and plug into a properly installed plug socket that is easily accessible.
3. Before you enjoy your first coffee, we recommend that you carry out a trial run with coffee powder to remove any possible production residues in the water system and in the milk tank system. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Handling and Operation” and “Use” chapters. When the device is first used, production‐related additives (e.g. grease) may cause a small amount of smoke and / or an odour to be produced. This is normal and not a device defect.
4. Clean the device and accessories (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter).

Handling and Operation

NOTES

• Do not pour milk or other liquids into the water tank. Only ever use water to make coffee!
• Do not pour any liquids into the milk tank other than milk or if necessary water for cleaning.
• Never overfill the portafilter.

Inserting the Drip Tray

The device is supplied with a drip tray (10) as coffee might drip out of the coffee outlet (14) or milk might drip out of the milk nozzle (8) after making coffee. Only attach the drip tray to the device / remove it from the device when the milk tank is not inserted in the device.

1. Place the cover (11) on the drip tray. Make sure that it fits correctly.
2. Place the drip tray on the surface and slide it into the device at the designated point.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Open the water tank lid (1).
2. Take out the water tank (2) by the handle.
3. Pour the quantity of water you want (note the MAX marking) into the water tank.
4. Reinsert the water tank and flip the handle down (Picture A). Make sure that the water tank fits correctly.
5. Close the water tank lid.

If the water in the water tank is not used within two days, pour away the remaining water and refill the water tank before you use it again.

Filling the Milk Tank

1. Remove the milk tank from the device by pressing the release button (4) and pulling the milk tank to the side at the same time.
2. Remove the milk tank cover (6) from the milk container (9) by pressing the release button on the side of the milk tank cover, flipping it up to one side and taking it off.
3. Pour the quantity of milk you want (note the MAX marking) into the milk container.
4. Place the milk tank cover onto the milk container at an angle and flip it shut (Picture B). When you do this, make sure that the locking lugs sit in the recesses which are provided for them. The cover must be heard to engage in place.
5. Insert the milk tank back in the device. It must click audibly into place. Make sure that the milk tank fits correctly. If the milk in the milk tank is not used up, pour away the remaining milk, clean the milk tank and refill it before you use it again.

Inserting / Removing the Filter in the Portafilter

Insert the filter you want into the portafilter (12). The filter must fit securely in the portafilter so that it cannot fall out when coffee powder is removed. Small filter for single espresso, normal cappuccino, normal latte macchiato. Large filter for double espresso or two espressos, strong cappuccino, strong latte macchiato To remove the filter from the portafilter, reach either with your fingernails or with a thin, hard object between the filter and portafilter and pry out the filter.

Filling the Filter With Coffee Powder

1. Use the measuring spoon to pour the quantity of coffee powder you want into the desired filter in the portafilter (12). One heaped measuring spoon is equivalent to roughly one filled small filter.
2. Press down the coffee powder in the filter with the tamper.

Only ever use pure espresso / coffee powder which is not ground too fine. Coffee substitute or coffee extract contain sticky substances which can block the sieves.

Inserting / Removing the Portafilter

1. Insert the portafilter (12) into the device so that the two locking lugs on the portafilter sit in the recesses which are provided for them on the device. Twist the portafilter anticlockwise to secure it (Picture C).
2. To remove the portafilter from the device, turn it clockwise a little and then pull it out downwards.
3. To remove the used coffee powder, tap the portafilter gently against an edge (e.g. of a dustbin, a bowl or similar object) so that the compressed coffee powder can be released. Dispose of the coffee powder in an environmentally friendly manner.

Cup Warmer

The device features a cup warmer (15) which is heated automatically as soon as the device is switched on. Turn over the cups which are to be heated and place them on the cup warmer for approx. 5 – 10 minutes (Picture D).

Descaling

• Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the espresso and the water, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. The thicker a limescale layer is, the more diffi cult it is to remove. We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling agent in accordance with the water quality in your area and how often the device is used (approx. every 2 – 6 weeks).
• The first indications that descaling is required are a large amount of steam being produced and slower brewing of the espresso.
• The device indicates at regular intervals that it needs to be descaled! When the yellow control lamp (22) is lit, a descaling process should be performed. The control lamp goes out as soon as a cleaning or descaling process has been performed.

Storage

• Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged period. Clean the device again if necessary and let it dry completely.
• Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost‐free place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.
