HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Remove the water tank lid (fig. 2) and then take out the

tank by pulling upwards (fig. 3).

Fill the tank with fresh clean water taking care not to

exceed the MAX level (fig. 4).

Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve

located on the bottom of the tank.

More simply, the tank can also be filled without

removing it, pouring the water directly from a jug.

IMPORTANT: It is normal for there to be water in the

space under the tank. This should therefore be dried

regularly with a clean sponge.

Note: Never use the appliance without water in the

tank and always remember to top up when the level

drops to about an inch from the bottom.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT

To obtain espresso coffee at the ideal temperature, it is

recommended that the coffee machine be preheated.

Turn the selector knob to the position (fig. 5) before

making coffee, making sure the filter holder is attached

to the appliance (check that the steam knob is closed).

To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler

outlet with the handle towards the left (see fig. 6), push

it upwards and at the same time rotate the handle

towards the right.

Rotate firmly. Wait until the

preheating process is complete, and then make coffee

as described in the following chapter.

Alternatively, preheating can be achieved more rapidly

proceeding as follows:

1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to

the position (fig. 5) and attach the filter holder to

the appliance

without adding ground coffee.

2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup

as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to

preheat it.

3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 7),

then immediately rotate the selector knob to the

position (fig. 8), run the water off until the OK

indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by

rotating the selector knob to the position (fig. 5).

4.Empty the cup. Wait until the OK indicator light

comes on again then repeat the same operation.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE

FILTER FOR GROUND COFFEE

1.After preheating the appliance as described above,

place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,

making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the

slot as shown in fig. 9. For appliances with two

filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest

for two coffees.

To make a single coffee only, place one level measure

of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 10).

To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled

measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the filter.

Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground

coffee from overflowing.

IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the

ground coffee to the filter, clean the filter from

residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion.

3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly

with the tamper (fig. 11).

Note: Correct pressing of

the ground coffee is essential to obtain a good

espresso. If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will

be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too

light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth

will be skimpy and light colored.

4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter

holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.

Rotate firmly (fig. 6) to avoid leaks of water.

5.Place the cup or cups (ideally preheated by rinsing

with a little hot water) under the filter holder spouts

(fig. 12).

6.Make sure the OK light (fig. 7) is on (if off, wait until

it comes on), then turn the knob to the position

(fig. 8) until the required quantity is obtained. To

interrupt, place the selector back in the position

(fig. 5).

7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from

right to left.

IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the

filter holder while the appliance is delivering

coffee.

8.To eliminate the used coffee grounds, block the filter

in place using the lever incorporated in the handle

and empty the coffee by turning the filter holder

upside down and tapping (fig. 13).

9.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to

the "O" position (fig. 14).

IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all

accessories must be washed thoroughly by making at

least five coffees without using ground coffee.
