HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Remove the water tank by pulling sideways and raising
the intake tubes (fig. 1).
Rinse and fill with clean cold water (fig 2). Checking
the water level is facilitated by a floating ball. Replace
the tank in the housing, making sure the tubes are in
the water (fig. 3).
More simply, fill the tank by extracting it just enough to
pour in the water directly from a jug.
PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT
To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the
coffee machine must be preheated. You are therefore
recommended to press the ON/OFF
4) at least 15 minutes before preparing the coffee,
heating the filter holder at the same time by making
sure it is attached to the appliance. To attach the filter
holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the
handle towards the left (fig. 5), push it upwards while
at the same time rotating the handle towards the right.
Rotate firmly. Wait for 15 minutes, then make the
coffee as described in the following section.
Alternatively, you can preheat more rapidly by
proceeding as follows:
1.Press the ON/OFF
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 (coffee ready) light to come on (fig.
6), then immediately press the coffee knob (fig. 7).
Run the water off until the OK (coffee ready) light
goes out, then interrupt delivery by pressing the
coffee button again (fig. 7).
4.Empty the cup, detach the filter holder and empty out
the hot water.

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 above,
place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,
making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the
slot as shown in fig. 8. For appliances with two
filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest
for two coffees.
2.To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level
measure of ground coffee, about 7 grams. (fig. 9). 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: to ensure correct operation, before
placing the ground coffee in the filter holder, clean the
filter of residues of ground coffee from the previous
infusion.
3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (fig. 10).
NB: 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
coloured.
4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder and attach to the appliance. Rotate firmly
(fig. 5) to avoid water leaking out.
5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts
(fig. 11). You are recommended to heat the cups
before making the coffee by rinsing them with a little
hot water or placing them to warm on the top plate
for at least 15-20 minutes.
6.Make sure the OK (coffee ready) light (fig. 6) is on (if it
is off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee
button (fig. 7). Once the required quantity of coffee has
been obtained, interrupt delivery by pressing the same
button again (fig. 7).
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 dispose of the used coffee, block the filter in place
using the lever incorporated in the handle then empty
the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down
and tapping (fig. 12).
9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF
button (fig. 4).
IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all
accessories and the internal circuits must be washed
