HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK:

Remove the water tank by pulling it sideways, at the

same time lifting the tubes (fig. 1).

Rinse the water tank and fill with fresh water up to the

upper mark (fig. 2). Inspection of the water level is

facilitated by a ball-shaped float. Replace the water

tank in its housing, ensuring that the tubes are

immersed in the water.

A simpler way of filling the water tank is to pull it out

just enough to be able to pour in water directly from a

jug.

Remember to clean the water tank regularly.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE

To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the

coffee maker must be preheated. Press the ON/OFF

switch (fig. 3) at least half an hour before making the

coffee, making sure the filter holder is attached to the

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

To attach the filter holder, place it under the boiler outlet

with the handle towards the left (fig. 4). Push upwards

and at the same time turn the handle as far to the right

as possible. To avoid leaks of water, rotate firmly. After

half an hour, make coffee following the instructions of

the next paragraph.

Alternatively, for a faster operation, proceed as

follows:

1.Press the ON/OFF switch (fig. 3). Attach the empty

filter holder (without coffee) to the machine

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

cup that the coffee will be served in, so that it may be

preheated.

3.Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig 5) and press

the delivery switch (fig 6). Allow water to flow until

the orange “OK” light goes out, then stop the flow of

water by pressing the delivery switch again.

4.Empty the cup, wait until the “OK” pilot light comes

on again and repeat the whole operation one more

time.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to

be given off when removing the filter holder).

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER

HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE

1.After preheating the appliance as described in the

above paragraph, insert the ground coffee filter with

frother into the filter holder, making sure the tab is

correctly inserted into the housing as shown in fig. 7.

2.To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level

measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 8). To

prepare two coffees, use the filter and fill with two

loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6

g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the ground

coffee from overflowing.

IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the

ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter

is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.

3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it

lightly with the pressing pad (Fig. 9).

NOTE:Pressing the coffee is very important in order

to prepare a food coffee. However if you press too

hard, coffee will come out slowly and cream will be

of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come

out too fast and cream will be a very light color.

Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter

holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.

Rotate firmly (fig. 4) to avoid leaks of water.

4.Place the pre-heated cup or cups on the drip tray,

under the filter cup spouts fig 10). SIt is

recommended to warm the cups before making the

coffee, by rinsing them in a little hot water or placing

them on top of the machine (Fig. 29).

5.Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig 5) then press

the coffee delivery switch (fig. 6) until the desired

quantity of coffee is obtained. To stop the flow, press

the coffee delivery switch again (fig. 6).

6.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right

to left.

To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter

holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.

7.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with

the special lever that is built into the handle and let

the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter

holder (Fig. 11).

8.To turn off the coffee maker, press the ON/OFF

switch (fig. 3).

ATTENTION: The first time that coffee is prepared, it is

necessary to wash all of the accessories and the

internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least five

coffees without using the ground coffee.
