Before using for the first time

Unpack the appliance completely and remove all packaging materials. But do not remove the safety sticker.
Clean all detachable parts as described in the section Cleaning and care.
Fit the panarello to the steam tube.
Fill the container with water (see Making espresso).
Adjust the water hardness as described in Adjusting the level of water hardness.
Before making espresso for the first time, flush the system by drawing 2-3 large cups of water as described in Making espresso, but without using any coffee.
During this process, use the panarello repeatedly as described in Dispensing hot water.
This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time.
Before switching on, ensure that the rotary control is set to O. Otherwise all buttons will flash and the unit cannot be used.

Preparing beverages

Pre-heating cups
For optimum taste enjoyment we recommend to pre-heat the cups. Rinse the cups with hot water or place them on the cup-warming top.

Making espresso

Remove the water container, open the lid and fill with fresh water, observing the min/max marking.
Ensure that the rotary control is set to O. Using espresso powder:
Fit the filter insert for one or two cups into the filter holder.
Load the filter insert with the desired amount of espresso coffee. We recommend 7.5 g per cup.
Use the tamper surface on the measuring scoop to push down the espresso coffee evenly and firmly with a pressure of around 15 kg.
Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.

Using ESE pods:

F it the filter insert for ESE pods into the filter holder.
Insert a pod.

To ensure proper functioning of the descaling notification, the level of water hardness in your area must be set.
The level of water hardness can be set for soft, normal or hard water.

Cleaning and care

Remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with liquids or immerse it.
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
Allow the panarello to cool down after each use, then remove and clean it with hot soapy water. The small aperture on the centre of the panarello must be unobstructed at all times. If necessary, remove any blockage using a fine needle.
Wipe the outside of the steam tube with a damp cloth.
Allow the sieve holder to cool down sufficiently before tapping its side against a vertical surface to loosen the grounds before emptying it.
The indentations on the filter holder facilitate removing the filter sieve; use the fingers to pull the sieve out from above.
The filter holder, filter inserts and drip tray may be cleaned in warm water using a mild detergent; do not clean these parts in a dish-washer.
Remove the water container and pour out any remaining water. Clean the container with soapy water and dry thoroughly.
The exterior housing may be wiped with a damp, lintfree cloth.

Descaling instructions

Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to ensure proper functioning.
Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling.
The button starts flashing when the unit needs descaling.
Descaling must not be done right away, but should be done soonest.
Vinegar concentrate or a commercially available descaler may be used.
