Instruction manual

First cleaning

• Fill the water tank with water. The water level should not exceed the “MAX” mark in the tank.

• Put the filter in the filter holder and insert the portafilter. Ensure the portafilter is aligned with the lock drawing to ensure it is safely assembled. Fig. 2.

• Plug the appliance into a power supply. Make sure the steam knob is in the Off position and press the power button. The machine will beep. The 1-coffee and 2-coffee indicator lights will turn on and the coffee machine will start pre-heating.

• Once the 1-coffee and 2-coffee indicator lights light up steady, press the 1-coffee button. The coffee machine will start the cleaning process.

Note
If you want to carry out a more thorough cleaning cycle of the coffee machine’s inside parts, use a 1:4 solution of vinegar and water, or use descaling product. Repeat this process just with water to remove any rests.

OPERATION

• Fill the water tank without exceeding the MAX mark. Use mineral water for better maintenance of the appliance.
• Connect the coffee machine to a power supply and make sure the steam knob is set to the Off position. Turn on the coffee machine.

Espresso

• While the coffee machine preheats, place the desired coffee filter in the portafilter and fill it with coffee powder. Use the measuring spoon with tamper to fill the filter with coffee and press it. 1 tablespoon is equal to 1 coffee dose. Clean the excess coffee from the filter’s edge. Fig. 3.

• Insert the portafilter in the appliance and lock it tightly. Fig. 4.

• Once the 1-coffee and 2-coffee indicator lights switch from blinking to steady, press the desired coffee button for the machine to brew 1 or 2 coffees.

Note
Make sure you have previously placed an appropriate cup or cups under the coffee spout.

Milk froth

• With the coffee machine switched on and preheated, press the steam button. The steam indicator light will flash and then remain steady when the preheating process is complete.
• Pour milk into the container where you want to froth milk. Fill up 1/3 of the container. Recommendation: it is recommended to use cold whole milk for optimal results.
• Place an empty glass under the steamer, turn the steam knob to the steam/water position, and let the steamer emit steam before frothing the milk. Once some steam has been emitted, disable the steam function by returning the steam knob to the Off position, insert the steam tube 1 cm into the milk, and turn the steam knob slowly counterclockwise until steam is produced.

Fig. 5.

1. Switch-off
2. Steam/water

Note
The steamer may drip a little before producing steam.
When milk temperature starts to rise (to up to 75 ºC) and milk froth volume starts increasing, turn the steam knob clockwise to the Off position and press the steam button to stop the steam function.

Warning
Clean the steam outlet with a wet sponge immediately after use. Then, remove the steamer and clean the duct interior part. Moreover, it is advisable to emit steam into an empty glass to get rid of any traces of milk left.
Hot water

• With the coffee machine switched on and preheated, turn the steam knob to the steam/
  water position. The steamer will start dispensing hot water.

• Turn the steam knob back to the Off position to disable this function.

Memory function

• Once the coffee machine has preheated and the 1-coffee and 2-coffee indicator lights light up steady, hold down the 1-coffee button. The coffee machine will start brewing coffee.

• Once the desired amount of coffee has been obtained, stop pressing the 1-coffee button.
  The machine will emit a sound, indicating it has saved the quantity.

• The coffee machine brews coffee 60 seconds approx. by default, which is the maximum time coffee can be brewed and saved.

Note
The setting will not be registered and saved unless the button is pressed for long enough.

• If you want to prepare a larger espresso or 2 espressos, follow the steps above and use the

2-coffee button instead of the 1-coffee one.

Factory settings
If you want to restore factory settings, hold pressed the 1-coffee button and the steam button for 3 seconds. The appliance will beep once indicating factory settings have been successfully restored.

Cooling down the appliance

• After steam is emitted or coffee is brewed, the appliance’s temperature is likely to increase significantly, which means that all of its components will become very hot as the appliance has been operating at high pressure. Both indicator lights, 1 and 2 coffees, will start blinking quickly, indicating the appliance temperature has to be decreased.

To cool down the appliance

1. Rotate the steam knob to the water position, the machine will start dispensing water for a few seconds.
2. When the indicator lights start flashing slowly, turn the steam knob to the Off position.
3. When the power indicator lights light up steady, the appliance will be ready for use again.

Please note
The coffee machine features an auto-off safety system that activates after 25 minutes the machine is not being used.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
  Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they could cause damage to the appliance’s surface.

• Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the outer part of the appliance.

• Do not immerse the main body in water or other liquids.

• Wash the water tank, drip tray, and cup/mug tray regularly.

• After using the steam function, the tube must be cleaned with a cloth immediately after. Be careful not to burn yourself! Allow steam to be released to avoid possible blockages inside the tube.

• If the steamer is clogged, use a needle to unblock the conduct.

• Remove the portafilter after every use and empty the coffee residue. Then, use water and a cloth to clean it. Do not wash it in the dishwasher.

• Clean all parts with water and dry thoroughly before storing it or using the appliance again.

Cleaning mineral deposits or descaling

1. Mineral deposits built up in the unit might affect the machine’s operating. It is important to remove and clean them to keep the coffee machine operating efficiently. The quality of the water being used and type of use will determine how often these deposits have to be cleaned. It is recommended to carry out a cleaning cycle after each 250 uses.
2. Fill the water tank to the MAX mark and add a descaling agent. Put the portafilter in place. Place one container under the portafilter, another under the steamer, and enable the coffee and hot water functions alternately until the tank is completely empty.
3. Finally, carry out the same procedure but with clean water to completely clean the appliance of any descaler residues.

Note
Use the water and descaling agent proportions indicated on the appliance’s packaging.
