Before using for the first time
Before making espresso for the first time, let
the appliance go through two or three
filtration cycles using the indicated
maximum amount of water, but without
using any ground coffee. This should also be
done if the appliance has not been used for
an extended period of time.
Making espresso
- Open the screw-in lid by turning it anti-
clockwise.
- Fill the container with cold tap water.
The glass carafe shows level marks for
two or four cups. Only the required
amount of water should be used for each
brewing cycle (max. 4 cups).
- Replace the lid and close it by turning it
clockwise.
- Place the filter insert inside the filter
holder.
- Use the measuring scoop to fill the filter
insert with the desired amount of
espresso coffee; fill loosely and do not
press it down. The corresponding
markings for the correct amount of
espresso coffee can be found inside the
filter insert.
Remove any excess coffee from the rim
of the filter holder.
- Fit the filter holder to the appliance in
such a way that the protruding lugs go
inside the corresponding recesses on the
hot water outlet. The dot on the filter
holder must be correctly aligned with the
beginning of the corresponding mark on
the housing.
- To lock, turn the filter holder firmly to
the right so that the dot on the holder is
correctly aligned with the dot on the
housing.
- Slide the glass carafe with its lid in place
onto the drip tray under the filter holder.
●
Ensure that the lid opening is properly
positioned underneath the filter holder.
- Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet
and turn the multiple-function switch so
that the espresso symbol is aligned with
the arrow mark on the housing. The red
indicator light comes on.
- After a short time the water will start to
boil and will then be forced by pressure
through the filter insert into the glass
carafe.
- Wait until all the water has passed
through before switching the appliance
off. The indicator light goes out.
- The carafe can now be removed from the
appliance.
