After 5 minutes of continuous
steaming, the machine will
automatically disable the steam
function. The STEAM/HOT
WATER light will flash. When this
occurs return the STEAM/HOT
WATER dial to the STANDBY
position.
tIP
Water is automatically released
into the drip tray after the steam
and hot water functions to ensure
the thermocoil is at the optimal
temperature for extracting
espresso. This is normal. If you
find water around the front of the
machine, ensure the drip tray is
firmly pushed in place after using
the steam/hotwater functions.

• Use freshly roasted coffee beans,
with a `roasted on' date and use
within 2 weeks of `roasted on' date.
• Grind beans immediately before
brewing as ground coffee quickly
loses its flavor and aroma.
• Store coffee beans in a cool, dark
and dry container. Vacuum seal if
possible.
• Buy coffee beans in small batches
to reduce the storage time and store
no more than one weeks supply at
any time.
