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

Prior to initial use and when not used for a long time, 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 PARTS BEFORE USING THE MACHINE!

SETTING UP THE MACHINE

Filling the Water tank

1. Open the lid and extract the tank by pulling it upwards.
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water. DO NOT fill exceeding the 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 spoon is approximately 8-10g of ground coffee.

1. Insert the preferred brewing filter into the filter holder. Align the lung of the filter with the groove in the filter holder, then slide in the filter (refer to Fig.1).  After the filter had reached the bottom, twist left or right to make it stay down.

2. Add ground coffee to fill the filter basket. DO NOT fill above the MAX mark.

3. . Tap the filter holder several times to allow coffee evenly distributed in the filter basket.

4. Using the tamper press firmly on the coffee to make it flat. This is to ensure a proper seal is achieved between coffee spout and ground coffee.

Tips

• Clean excess ground coffee from the rim to ensure proper fit under the brew head and avoid any water 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 crema.

Pre-heat the machine and cup
To prepare a good hot espresso, it is recommended that you heat up the espresso machine prior to each use.

1. Ensure there is sufficient water in the tank (see “Filling the Water Tank”)
2. Follow the instructions for BREWING ESPRESSO but do not put any coffee powder into the filter.
3. Press the Manual button to let hot water run through the machine into your cup for approx. 60 second.

It is also recommended to warm the coffee cups before making espresso, either by rinsing them with little hot water or placing them on a storage shelf on top of the coffee machine.

• Empty the pre-heated cup. To warm up more cups, you can place these on top of the storage shelf. The cups are kept warm by the operating heat of the machine.
• When pre-heating is completed, you can start with espresso or cappuccino preparation.

ARNING: Do not leave the machine unattended during use!

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

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 scald as easily as whole milk, but the fat content must not be too low. Therefore, we recommend milk with a fat content of 1.5% to 3.5%. Well-chilled milk foams are better than less-chilled milk. Recommended temperature: approx. 7°C.
• Do not froth milk a second time (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 and hold the ON/OFF switch to turn OFF the espresso machine.
• Remove the power supply cord plug from the mains power outlet socket.
• Allow the machine to 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 of the espresso machine, remove the draining rack, and pour the water into the sink.

AUTOMATICALLY POWER-OFF FUNCTION
The machine will automatically switch to Standby mode if left idle for too long (approx. 25 minutes). All indicators will be OFF under this condition, except for the ON/OFF switch button. To wake the machine, press either the ON/OFF button or the corresponding function button to turn the machine ON.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER OF BURNING!

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

SHORT-CIRCUIT HAZARD!
Ensure that no water or other liquids enter the housing.
Always switch off the machine and disconnect from mains power before cleaning!

RISK OF DAMAGE!
Improper handling of the espresso machine may result in damage. Do not use any aggressive detergents, sharp or metallic cleaning implements, such as knives, hard spatulas, and similar. These may damage the surfaces.

1. Clean the filter holder, brewing filter, and the drip tray with a little detergent under warm running water and rinse through with clear water.
2. Pull the metal nozzle off the milk frother and clean it with a little detergent under warm running water. Rinse it thoroughly with clear water.
3. Wipe the handle and the milk frother with a slightly damp cloth.
4. Let all parts dry before reassembling.
5. Regularly wipe down the housing of the machine with a slightly damp cloth.
