OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE

Inserting the drip tray

• The drip tray with grate catches drops of brewed coffee when the portafilter is removed, or hot water is released from the milk frothing boiler, it also prevents coffee from burning and also catches any milk spilt during the frothing process. Therefore, make sure that both parts are correctly installed and inserted in the appliance.
• Insert or remove the drip tray and grate only when the milk tank is not installed.
• We recommend to empty out and wash the drip tray after every use. When cleaning, follow the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.

Note:
The drip tray has a full level indicator. This comprises of a float switch. As soon as the level of the liquid in the drip tray pushes it up, it is necessary to empty out the drip tray.

Filling the water tank

• Open the water tank lid. Grasp the tank by the handle and pull it upwards to remove it. Fill it up with cold drinking water up to the maximum level mark, insert it back in and tilt the handle down into the tank. Then, close the water tank lid. The water tank must be securely seated in place in order for water to be pumped out of it into the boiler.

Note:
The water that you pour into the water tank should ideally be at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Water that is too cold, could negatively affect the final taste of the coffee beverage. Do not leave any remaining water in the water tank for longer than one day. For brewing quality fresh coffee, it is necessary to use fresh water. Otherwise, the resulting flavour of the coffee beverage may be negatively affected.

Attention:
The water tank has a maximum capacity of 1.4 litres.
Do not overfill it. Never fill the water tank with warm water, hot water or sparkling water, or liquids such as milk, etc. Do not fill the water tank when it is inserted in the appliance. There is a danger of splashing the appliance or overfilling the water tank.

Filling the milk tank

• To remove the milk tank, hold down the removal button on the lid and pull the milk tank away from the appliance.

• In order to open and remove the lid, push and hold down the button on
  the side of the lid and tilt open the lid from the milk tank.

• Pour fresh, cold milk into the milk tank no higher than the MAX mark. Always fill to between the maximum and minimum level marks.

• The lid can only be put on in one way. Seat the side of the lid with the milk nozzle on to the side of the tank with the cut-out for the nozzle and tilt down the lid. Correct placement is indicated by a click. Check that the lid is not moving and does not extend past the edge of the tank .

• Insert the milk tank with the attached lid into the appliance from the side until you hear a click. Check that the milk tank with lid is correctly inserted and is not moving in any way.

Note:
In the event that you do not use up all the milk, it is necessary to pour it out of the tank into a suitable container and to store it in a refrigerator. Then thoroughly clean the milk tank according to the instructions in chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”.

Inserting and removing the strainer

• Insert the selected strainer into the portafilter and push it in firmly.
• To remove the strainer from the portafilter, use your nail or a thin object (e.g. table knife) inserted between the edge of the filter and the edge of the portafilter.

Filling the strainer and tamping down the coffee

• Place the portafilter on to an even surface and pour the corresponding amount of ground coffee into the strainer. The one-cup coffee strainer is filled with a single level measuring cup of coffee. The two-cup coffee strainer is filled with double the amount of coffee. One level measuring cup is equivalent to approx. 7 g of ground coffee. Spread the coffee out evenly inside the strainer and gently tamp it down with the flat end of the measuring cup.
• Thoroughly clean all remains of ground coffee from the edge of the strainer.

Note:
Only use ground coffee intended for use in espresso machines.
Do not use ground coffee intended for use in a French press, percolator, etc.

Inserting and removing the portafilter

• Insert the portafilter underneath the brew head so that the handle points to the left and is aligned with the symbol on the brew head. To fasten the portafilter to the brew head, turn the handle to the right to the position marked with the symbol.
• To remove the portafilter from the brew head, turn the handle to the left to the symbol. Remove it from the brew head and move it above a rubbish bin. Turn the portafilter so that the strainer with the spent coffee points downwards. Use a teaspoon to remove the coffee grounds. Avoid coming into contact with the surface of the strainer or portafilter as they may still be hot. Prior to removing the strainer from the portafilter, cool it down under cold running water. Then rinse the strainer and the portafilter under clean running water and dry them thoroughly.

Warming the cups

• As soon as the appliance is turned on using the ON/OFF button, the cup warming surface will automatically start to heat up. Place empty coffee cups upside down on to surface and allow them to warm up.
