BEFORE THE FIRST USE **

**

Remove all the plastic bags, packaging material on the Espresso Machine. Remove the stopper at the bottom of the water tank.

Prior to initial use and after a longer period without use of the Espresso Machine, allow the contents of approx. 2-3 cups of water to run through the machine without adding any coffee powder in the filter. This will clean the water circuit and all parts will be heated up for proper operation.

DANGER OF INJURY, BURNING AND SCALDING! PLEASE READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE PARTS BEFORE USING THE MACHINE!

SETTING UP THE MACHINE

Filling the Water tank

1. Open the tank cover and extract the tank by pulling it upwards.
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water. DO NOT fill exceed 1.5L MAX level.
3. Put the tank back in the espresso machine. Press lightly to ensure the water tank is properly attached to the machine.

IMPORTANT! Never operate the espresso machine without water in the tank or without fitting the water tank!

Filling the Brewing Filter

This machine includes 2 brewing filters: single shot and double shot filter. Use the provided measuring spoon to add ground coffee.

1. Insert the preferred brewing filter into the filter holder.
2. Add ground coffee to fill the filter.
3. Tap the filter holder several times to allow coffee to be evenly distributed in the filter.
4. Using the tamper, press firmly on the coffee to make it flat. This is to ensure a proper seal is achieved in between the coffee spout and ground coffee.

Tips

• Clean excess ground coffee from the rim to ensure proper fit under the brew head and avoid any leaks.
• The compressing of the espresso powder is an important process for preparation. If the powder is compressed tightly, the espresso will run through slowly and there will be more cream.

Pre-heat the machine and cup

To make a cup of good hot Espresso coffee, we recommend preheating the appliance before making coffee, including the funnel, filter and cup, so that the coffee flavour cannot be influenced by the cold parts.

1. Remove the detachable tank and open the tank cover to fill it with desired water. The water level should not exceed the “MAX” mark in the tank. Then place the tank into the appliance properly.
2. Select the steam mesh, set steel mesh into metal funnel, make sure the tube on the funnel aligns with groove in the appliance, then insert the funnel into the appliance from the “Unlock” position, and you can fix them into the coffee maker firmly by turn it anti-clockwise until it is at the “Lock” position.
3. Place an espresso cup on the removable shelf.
4. Then connect the appliance to power supply. Make sure the steam control knob is at the OFF position.
5. Press the ON/OFF button once, and the power indicator turns on and the coffee indicator blinks. After finish preheating, the coffee indicator lights solidly. Press the coffee switch when there is water flowing out and close the pump immediately. The purpose of this step is to pump the water of the tank into the housing.
6. When the lamp in coffee switch is illuminated, you should press the coffee switch again, there will be hot water flowing out. Close the pump. The pre-heating is finished.

It is also recommended to warm the coffee cups before making espresso, either by rinsing them with little hot water or place them on warming plate on the coffee machine.

WARNING: Do not leave the machine unattended during use!

BREWING ESPRESSO

• Attach the filter holder onto the machine. Insert small or large brewing filter into the filter holder. Fill the brewing filter with ground coffee. (see “Filling the Brewing Filter”)

• Insert the holder into the appliance at the position of “Unlock” mark. Make sure the tube on the funnel aligns with groove in the appliance. (Fig.1)

• Turn anti-clockwise until the handle is aligned with the “Lock” mark. (Fig.2)
  IMPORTANT! You may need to turn the handle a little harder to make the holder stop at the right locking position. This is important to prevent the holder from ejecting during use due to steam pressure.

• Insert drip tray. Put a coffee cup underneath the coffee spout of the filter holder.
  Note: The appliance is not equipped with a cup. Please use your own coffee cup

• Turn the steam controller to “0” position marked in Fig.3 to close the steam nozzle.

MAKE CAPPUCCINO/FROTHED MILK

You get a cup of cappuccino when you top up a cup of espresso with frothed milk. Method:

1. Prepare espresso first with container big enough according to the part “MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE.” Make sure that the steam control knob is at the “0” position.

2. Press the steam switch selector. The lamp in the coffee switch will extinguish. Wait until the indicator in the steam switch selector is illuminated.

3. Let off steam for 10 seconds before foaming the milk. Drain excess water. Turn off steam knob to “0” position.
   Note: During operation, the indicator in the steam selector will cycle on and off to maintain to desired temperature.

4. Fill a jug with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. You are recommended to use whole milk at refrigerator temperature (not hot!).
   Note: In choosing the size of jug, it is recommended the diameter is not less than 70±5mm, and bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 times. Make sure the height of jug is enough.

5. Turn the steam control knob slowly anti-clockwise, steam will come out from the frothing device.
   Note: Never turn the steam control button rapidly, as the steam will accumulate rapidly in short time which may increase the potential of the risk of explosion.

6. Insert the frothing device about two centimetres into the milk. Froth milk by turning the vessel at an angle and moving it up and down.

7. When the required purpose is reached, you can turn the steam control knob to “0” position. Note: Clean steam outlet with wet sponge immediately after steam stops generating. Be careful not to hurt yourself.

8. Pour the frothed milk into the prepared espresso, and now the cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

9. Press the Power switch to cut the power source off. All indicators will be extinguished.

WARNING: After finishing the “Steam” function, press the coffee switch. If the coffee indicator and steam indicator are blinking fast, it means that the temperature of the appliance is too high and the appliance needs to be turned off and have a rest for more than 5 minutes, or you can activate the “Hot water” function to cool down the appliance. When the indicator light stops flashing quickly, press the coffee button again. The pump will stop working and the coffee can be brewed normally.

Cleaning milk frother

After milk frothing, the steam nozzle must be cleaned. Not doing so may result in steam blockage.

1. Place an empty large cup underneath the milk frother nozzle.
2. Turn on the steam controller and wait for approx. 15 seconds, then close the steam controller.
3. Wipe the nozzle with a clean damp cloth.
4. Detach the nozzle and wipe the milk frother with a clean damp cloth.

IMPORTANT! Ensure the detachable nozzle is fitted firmly back in place after cleaning. If not fitted firmly back in position, the nozzle may detach during frothing due to steam pressure.

Tips

• Any milk can be frothed (also soya and rice milk). However, some varieties of milk, e.g. whole dairy milk, will give better results than others. Skimmed milk does not froth as easily as whole milk due to low fat content. Therefore, we recommend using milk with a fat content 1.5% to 3.5% for finer froth.
• Well-chilled milk foams better than less-chilled milk. Recommended temperature: approx. 7°C.
• Do not froth milk a second time (due to risk of scalding).
• Allow the frothed milk to stand for approx. 30 seconds before putting the froth on the espresso. During this time, larger bubbles will burst and milk, which is still liquid, sinks to the bottom. The froth becomes even finer this way.

AFTER USE

• Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
• Pull the power plug off from the mains power outlet socket.
• Allow the machine cool down for a few minutes.

Quick clean

Wipe all parts with a damp soft cloth, such that coffee grounds and milk residues do not dry on the machine.

Empty the drip tray

The drip tray needs emptying as soon as the red overfill indicator pops up.\ Carefully lift the drip tray off the espresso machine, remove the draining rack and pour the water into the sink.

AUTOMATIC POWER OFF FUNCTION

If there are no operations within 25 minutes, the unit will power off automatically.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• DANGER OF BURNING!
  The espresso machine becomes hot during operation. Metal parts particularly remain hot for longer time. Prior to cleaning, wait until the espresso machine has cooled down completely.
