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 after a longer period of disuse of the Espresso Machine, allow the contents of approx.
2-3 cups of water to run through the machine without adding any coffee powder to 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 exceed 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 grind 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. After the filter had reached the bottom, twist left or right to make it stay down.

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

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

4. Using the tamper press firmly on the coffee to make it flat. This is to ensure a proper seal is achieved in 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 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. Let the hot water run through the machine into your cup/s 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 place them on a storage shelf on 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.

WARNING: Do not leave the machine unattended during use!

BREWING ESPRESSO

• 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”)

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

• Turn anti-clockwise until the handle is aligned with the “ ” 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 the “ O ” position to close the steam nozzle.
  

• Insert the plug into a mains power outlet socket.
  Press the On/Off switch to the “ I ” position to power on the unit.
  

• The Power indicator will light up RED and
  The brewing indicator will flash GREEN. The appliance is heating up now.

• Wait until the Brewing indicator lights up to steady GREEN.

• Press the Espresso Brewing button “ , and the espresso will begin to run into the cup(s).
  

• Before the cup is full, press the Espresso Brewing button “  ” again to stop the process.

Risk of burning! Parts of the espresso machine become very hot during operation. Do not touch hot surfaces, especially the metal parts. Always touch handles or wait until parts have cooled down.
Risk of scalding! Rising steam can cause burns. Be aware of hot water/hot steam that may escape from the espresso machine during use.

Emptying the brewing filter

1. Remove the filter holder from the machine.
2. Turn the filter holder to “ mark position, then pull it down gently.
3. Fold the filter blocker up and over the edge to hold the brewing filter. Refer to the figure shown.
4. Hold the handle placing your thumb/finger on the filter blocker, this will prevent the filter from falling out, and knock out the espresso powder.

FROTHING MILK

1. Turn the Steam Controller all the way to the “ O ” position to close the steam nozzle.

2. Use the handle to turn the milk frother out to the side of the machine.

3. Press the Steam button “ , and the Steam pressure indicator starts flashing.
   

4. Wait until the Steam pressure indicator turns steady GREEN.
   Note: Prior to frothing milk, it is recommended to clean the steam nozzle. To do this, hold an empty large cup underneath the milk frother nozzle and turn on the steam controller. Wait for approx. 15 seconds, then close the steam controller. Place the large cup aside and start frothing milk.

5. Fill approx. 100ml of cold milk in a milk jug. Ideally, a milk jug is made of stainless steel.

6. Pick up the milk jug and guide the nozzle of the milk frother and immerse it lightly into the milk.

7. Hold the milk jug at a slight angle and turn the Steam controller slowly to the left.
   

8. Move the milk jug up and down slightly, but ensure the nozzle is always immersed in the milk.

9. Once you have created sufficient milk froth, close the Steam controller and place the milk jug aside.
   Wipe the nozzle with a clean damp cloth.

10. Press the On/Off switch to turn OFF the machine.

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. 15seconds, 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 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 the On/Off switch to “ O ” to turn off the machine.
• Pull the power plug off 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 off the espresso machine, remove the draining rack, and pour the water into the sink.

AUTOMATICALLY POWER-OFF FUNCTION
The machine will automatically go in sleep mode if stay idle for too long. All 3 indicators will be off under this condition, but the On/Off switch is still left at the “ I “ position.
Condition for auto-off:

• After pressing the On/Off switch and left idle for 29 minutes
• After brewing coffee and left idle for 60 seconds
• After milk frothing and left idle for 90 seconds

To wake the machine, press either the Espresso Brewing button “ or steam button “ , the On/Off indicator and corresponding function indicator will turn ON again. The machine can start operating.
