To make a good espresso coffee it is recommended to preheat the coffee maker before making the coffee. Pre-heating includes the coffee filter holder and the cup(s) so that the flavour of the coffee is not influenced by a cold machine. Use the above steps 1 – 10 to preheat your Espresso Maker before making cups of coffee.

Instructions for Use – Making an Espresso Coffee

1. Preheat the Espresso Maker as described above.

2. Remove the Coffee Filter Holder (14), then remove the Coffee Filter (15) and wipe dry using a clean dry cloth.

3. Using the Measuring Spoon/Tamper (16), add ground coffee to the Coffee Filter (15), fill halfway for one small cup of coffee, fill it for two cups.

4. Press the coffee powder tightly using the Tamper at the end of the Measuring Spoon/Tamper (16), (see Fig. 5 below)

5. Remove any excess coffee powder from the edge of the filter so the coffee sits about 3mm from the top edge of the filter.
   NB Too much coffee in the filter will result in a poor seal and leakage.

6. Place one hand on the top of the espresso maker to support the unit and attach the Coffee Filter Holder (14) using the Filter Holder Handle (10) by holding the handle and placing it in the coffee maker as in fig.6 then rotate right to the locked position as shown below in fig.7:

Instructions for Use – Making a Cappuccino Coffee

1. First, prepare an espresso coffee as detailed above in ‘Making an Espresso Coffee’ above, making sure that the cup is big enough to accommodate the coffee and the frothed milk.

2. Make sure that the Steam Control (6) is in the ‘OFF’ position.

3. Press the Power Button (2) and the Steam Button (5) . Both buttons will illuminate.

4. Fill a jug with 100ml of milk for each prepared Cappuccino, it is recommended to use whole milk at refrigerator temperature (not hot).

5. To maximise milk foam performance, rotate the Steam Control (6) for approximately 10 seconds without putting it in the milk in the jug. This will clear out any cold water in the system. Rotate the Steam Control (6) back to the ‘OFF’ position and conduct the next step.

6. Insert the Steam Nozzle (7) into the milk to about two centimeters deep, then rotate the Steam Control (6) slowly anti-clockwise. Steam will come out from the Steam Nozzle (7)

7. Frothed milk is made by moving the vessel round whilst the nozzle is submerged in the milk.
   WARNING! Never touch the Steam Nozzle (7) whilst steam is emitted to avoid scalding.
   Always turn the Steam Control (6) slowly to release the steam in a controlled manner.

8. After frothing the milk, rotate the Steam Control (6) to the ‘OFF’ position. The best temperature for frothed milk is 70°C.

9. Pour the frothed milk into the espresso coffee prepared earlier. The Cappuccino is ready to serve.

10. Sweeten if desired and sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Notes on Coffee

This Espresso Maker uses ground powdered coffee which is available from most good supermarkets and coffee retailers. Do not use instant coffee or similar with this Espresso Maker. Distance to the surface of pressed coffee powder should be about 3mm away from the edge of the filter cup (important indicator). Too high or too low will affect the extraction pressure and effect of coffee. Reduce or increase the amount of coffee powder accordingly

Making Hot Water

The Espresso Maker can produce hot water rather than steam from the Steam Nozzle (7):

1. Place a cup under the Steam Nozzle (7).
2. Press the Power Button (2), the power button will flash whilst the unit is warming up.
3. Once the Power (2) and Brewing (4) buttons are illuminated, Rotate the Steam Control (6) to ‘ON’ position and hot water will be dispensed.
4. Rotate the Steam Control (2) to ‘OFF’ position when the desired amount of hot water has been dispensed.
5. Press the Power Button (2) to switch the machine off.

If the Steam Nozzle is blocked

1. Turn the Steam Control (6) to the ‘OFF’ position and allow the espresso maker cool down for about half an hour, then poke the steam outlet several times with a needle about 1 mm in diameter until it clears.
2. Finally, press the Steam Button (5) and turn the Steam Control (6) to the ‘ON’ position, to ensure the appliance can produce steam.
3. Press the Power Button (2) to switch the machine off.

Cleaning the Steam Nozzle after frothing

1. After frothing the milk, put an empty jug under the Steam Nozzle (7).
2. Press the Steam Button (5) and rotate the Steam Control (6) to ‘ON’ for steam release for 20 seconds, then rotate the Steam Control (6) to ‘OFF’ and press the Steam Button (5) off to clean out the Steam Nozzle (7).
3. Press the Power Button (2) to switch the machine off.

Using the Warming Plate

Place the coffee cup(s) onto the Warming Plate (13) on top of the machine to keep them warm prior to making coffee.

Automatic power ‘off’

The coffee maker will turn itself off automatically 25 minutes after pressing the Power Button (2).

De-scaling Your Espresso Maker

Once tap water is heated, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves to the inside of your espresso maker. Excessive limescale build up will damage the machine, the Steam Nozzle is particularly vulnerable to blockage and should be cleaned regularly. We recommend using bottled water or filtered water. If you cannot do this and use water straight from the tap, then it is necessary to de-scale the coffee machine regularly. Do not use vinegar but a commercially available decalcification agent, carefully follow the quantities recommended in the instructions of the agent.

How to De-Scale:

It is recommended that the espresso maker is descaled every 4 weeks – if you live in a hard water area every 2 weeks is recommended. Better still, use bottled/Distilled water. Fill the Water Tank (9) with water and de-scaler to the MAX level. Follow the steps as detailed in ‘Preheating Your Espresso Maker before First Use above.

For the Brewing section:

1. Remove the Coffee Filter Holder (14) from the unit.
2. Place a container onto the Drip Tray Plate (11).
3. Press the Power Button (2) to turn the unit on, the Power indicator and Brewing indicators will illuminate.
4. Press the Brewing Button (4), once water has been flowing for 20 seconds (approximately 100ml), press the Brewing Button (4), then wait for 5 minutes for the first de-scaling cycle.
5. Empty the container and replace onto the Drip Tray Plate (11).
6. Repeat the above steps 1 – 5 to conduct the second and third cycles for de-scaling immediately, (it is not necessary to wait for 5 minutes on the second and third cycle).

For the Steaming section:

1. Place a container under the Steam Nozzle (7).
2. Press the Power Button (2) to turn the unit on, the Power indicator and Brewing indicators will illuminate.
3. Press the Steam Button (5), rotate the Steam Control (6) to the ‘ON’ position, the maximum level, and make steam for 2 minutes.
4. Rotate the Steam Control (6) to the ‘OFF’ position, then press the Steam Button (5) off to stop making steam.
5. Press the Power Button (2) to turn the unit off, leave the de-scaler in the unit for at least 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes empty the water tank and refill with clean water.
7. Restart the unit and repeat the above steps – with clean water

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Expel any water that may be inside the coffee machine by turning on the steam function for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until steam no longer comes from the steam nozzle.
• Unplug from the mains and allow coffee maker cool down completely before cleaning.
• Clean the outside of the espresso maker with clean damp cloth.
• Rinse the water tank out and allow to dry.
• Wash the drip tray plate and drip tray regularly and dry thoroughly.
• Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquids.
• Immediately after use pull the metal tube and rubber handle off the steam nozzle and wash both in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Wash the measuring spoon in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Clean the appliance after every use in order to keep it in good working order.
Do not allow water to sit in the tank, empty the tank after every use.

Technical Specification

Non-Rewireable Mains Plug

If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one (conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating). If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Never use a plug with the fuse cover missing. If you need to remove the plug – DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS – and then cut it off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to reuse the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of electric shock.
