warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before
reusing. These parts are not dishwasher safe.
Never use abrasive detergents.
Steam/hot water nozzle
Pull out the rubber tube downwards, then
wash thoroughly. Check that the hole in the
nozzle is not blocked, if necessary unblock
them with a pin.
Boiler outlet
At least twice a year carry out the following procedure:
• Wipe away any coffee grounds from the outlet
area.
• Clean the boiler area with a damp cloth.
• Clean the removed outlet thoroughly in hot
soapy water using a brush , rinse thoroughly,
make sure the holes are not blocked, and if
necessary use a pin to clean.
Descaling
• The appliance has to be descaled every month,
otherwise the coffee taste will become bad and
the scale deposited inside in the machine may
cause permanent and irreparable damage to
the machine.
Note: Please use a citrus descaler to descale the Nespresso maker.
Note: In case of using solid descaler, make sure the descaler dissolves
into cold water fully before pouring into the water tank. Never use a
descaler based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid,
sulphuric acid and acetic acid(e.g. vinegar). These descalers may damage
your machine.
Mix adequate descaler with cold water in a
measuring jug as per its instructions. Fill the
water tank up to the Max level with the prepared
descaling solution. Then put the water tank
back into the machine.
Make sure the filter holder is not attached and
put a bowl with a capacity of at least 1500ml
under the boiler outlet to collect the descaling
solution.
Press down the On/Off knob and wait until the
light stops blinking.
Press down the coffee function knob and allow
half the solution to flow out, seriatim press the
coffee function and the On/Off button to the off
position to stop the flow.
Leave the machine to rest for 15 minutes, then
press the On/Off knob and coffee function
button until the water tank is empty, then rinse it
thoroughly.
Fill the water tank with cold fresh water up to
the Max level again and repeat steps 2 to 5
without rest to rinse the appliance for twice.
Note: Always rinse the machine by letting it empty at least two full water
tanks.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Take the appliance and accessories out the box. Remove the
stickers, protective foil or plastic from the device.
Place the device on a flat stable surface and ensure a minimum of 10
cm. free space around the device. This device is not suitable for
installation in a cabinet or for outside use.
Flush the machine through with clean water in the following steps:
– Make sure the all buttons are in the off position and that the
steam water knob is closed by turning clockwise.
– Lift out the tank, draw up the lid and fill with cold water up to the
MAX level marked. Alternatively draw up the lid and fill the tank
whilst in position on the espresso machine. We recommend
using filtered water as it produces better coffee and reduces
limescale, never use fizzy water.
– Refit the tank, make sure that it is correctly located and apply
light pressure if necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of
the tank connects with the water inlet of the machine. It is
normal for water to remain in the compartment under the tank,
this can be done using a sponge.
– Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning it under the
boiler outlet and turning to the right, Respectively place suitable
container underneath the boiler outlet and the steam/hot water
nozzle.
– Plug in the mains supply, Press down the On/Off knob then the
power light will be illuminated, the coffee light will blink until it
reaches the right temperature, then press the coffee function
knob, the machine will be flushed, Press the coffee function
knob after a while to turn off manually.
– Press down the steam function knob, the steam function light
will blink, when the light stops blinking turn the steam control
knob and the steam nozzle will be flushed. Press the steam
function knob again to stop the machine.
Important: You can not brew espresso if you have not flushed the
machine at first, the flushing cycle causes the boiler to fill with water. If you
have not used the machine for a few days, you have to flush it with fresh
water before you use it again.

USE

Preheating the espresso machine

To ensure your espresso coffee is brewed at the right temperature it is
essential that the coffee appliance is preheated.
– Check that the steam control knob is firmly closed (turn
clockwise) and that there is water in the tank.
– Put a jug under the steam nozzle.
– Fit the desired filter into the filter holder (without coffee) and
attach to the machine by positioning it under the boiler outlet
and turning to the right, ensure is it firmly located.
– Position two cups under the filter holder, if you use the same
cup that the coffee will be served in it will be preheated.
Alternatively the cups can be preheated on the cups warming
tray.
– Press the On/Off knob and wait until the light stops blinking.
– Press down the coffee function knob and wait until two cups of
water runs into the bowl.
– Press the steam function knob and wait until the light stops
blinking.
– Turn the steam control knob anti-clockwise and allow a little
amount of water to run into the jug.

Making espresso

Preheat the appliance as above ‘Preheating the espresso machine’.
To make one or two cups of espresso: use filter holder I. Use the smaller
filter for making one cup and the larger filter for two cups.
Add the coffee using the measuring spoon provided one full spoon per
cup, level the surface then lightly press with the tamper of the measuring
spoon, wipe off any coffee around the rim. When buying ground coffee
sure it is suitable for espresso machines. Never press the coffee too
firmly as the coffee will come out slowly and the cream will be of a dark
color, however, if it is pressed too lightly, the coffee will come out too fast
and the cream will be a light color.
To use a coffee capsule: use filter holder II. Open the bottom of the
capsule filter, place a coffee capsule in it, cover and press tightly. It is
also possible to use a Nespresso®* capsule.
Attach the filter holder into the boiler outlet, turn it to the right to lock into
position. Put one or two cups underneath, if making one cup of coffee,
center your cup in the middle. Ensure the on/off knob is pressed down
then the power light will blink, wait until the light stops blinking then press
down the coffee function knob to make espresso.
When you’ve enough coffee, not too much otherwise it will be too weak
(optimum dosage is 30ml per cup) press the coffee function knob again.
If you are not making any more coffee, press the on/off button again to
turn of the appliance.
Remove the filter holder by turning to the left. There will be water on the
filter when you remove it, this is normal.
To remove the used coffee from the filter holder, please lift the plastic
pressing block to press the edge of filter, then tip the filter holder upside
down and tap out the grounds.
Important: You can not start to make espresso until the ready light stops
blinking because it means the water temperature is not high enough when
the ready light is stil blinking.
Important: To avoid water leakages from the rim of the filter holder and to
ensure optimum performance, it is necessary to clear any ground coffee
from around the boiler outlet. Take care as the area may be hot.

Frothing milk for cappuccino
Prepare the espresso as previously described.
Make sure there is water in the tank.
Press the on/off knob for steam, the steam light will blink, wait until the
light stops blinking, this indicates that the boiler has reached the correct
temperature.
Partly fill a jug with milk – the milk may increase up to three times in
volume so select a suitably sized jug. Cold semi skimmed milk gives the
best results.
Position the jug under the steam nozzle.
Place the nozzle into the milk about 30mm deep and turn the steam
control knob in an anti clockwise direction, the milk will begin to increase
in volume and appear frothy. When the volume of the milk has doubled,
fully immerse the nozzle and continue heating the milk. Once the desired
temperature is reached(60° is optimum), stop the steam by turning the
steam function knob clockwise.
Note: When operation in steam mode and with the steam function knob
turned off, some water may drop from the boiler outlet or the attached filter
holder. This water collects in the drip tray. Alternatively you can place a
cup under the boiler outlet or the attached filter holder.
Important: Never operate the steam nozzle for longer than 2 minutes at
one time.
Important: Never allow the milk to boil as this will spoil the flavour of the
coffee.
Important: To prepare more than one cup of cappuccino, first make all the
espresso coffees, then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the
cappuccinos

Making espresso after frothing milk

If you’re making espresso after frothing milk, you need to drain any
overheated water that could burn your coffee as following.
Place a container with at least 30mm depth of cold water underneath the
steam nozzle, immerge the nozzle into the cold water at least 10mm
depth. Ensuring the appliance is in the off position then turn the steam
control knob anti-clockwise until there is no steam coming out the nozzle
anymore. Now you will be able to make espresso again.
Automatically power-off function
The espresso machine will automatically power off when there is no
operation within 25 minutes.
