designed to make Italian style ristretto (tight) espressos.
This system allows immediate, simple, clean and comfortable use of your machine.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator light will flash.
n If necessary, tear the excess pre-cut paper off the pod, put the E.S.E. pod in the filter holder, with the
red writing facing down, if any (fig.6).
n Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks.
n If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Never use two pods together.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11 for preparing an espresso.
NB: Once you have obtained the sufficient amount of coffee, you can stop the flow at any time by pressing
the "1 cup" button (fig.8).
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods (usually 60 mm in diameter). Given that this
kind of pod is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will get a less full-bodied
espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator light will flash.
n Place a soft pod in the filter holder. Never use two pods together.
n Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks. If the pod
is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
NB: Once you have obtained the sufficient amount of coffee, you can stop the flow at any time by pressing
the "1 cup" button (fig.8).
INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMMING OF THE VOLUME OF WATER DISPENSED
To change the pre-programmed amount of water (50 ml per cup is the factory setting), proceed as follows:
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Put a spoonful of coffee in the filter by using a measuring spoon or use an E.S.E. or soft pod.
n Put the filter holder in place and lock it by turning it to the right as far as it will go, up to the stop (fig. 7).
n Place a cup under the filter holder.
n Hold down the "1 cup" button (> 3 sec) until the "1 cup" light flashes quickly. The coffee flows out.
n When the desired amount of espresso is obtained, press the "1 cup" button. This amount will be saved
automatically.
n The next time when you press the "1 cup" button, you will obtain the most recently recorded amount.
Programming for 2 cups uses the same method, by pressing the "2 cups" button (> 3 sec).
7. STEAM FUNCTION
Steam is used to foam up milk (for example to make a cappuccino or a cafe latte).
To produce steam, the pump works by emitting an intermittent noise.
After using the steam function, the appliance cools automatically by pumping cold water through
the heating system. During the pumping cycles, the excess steam in the heating system is released with
the hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important for
cooling the appliance.
Warning: during and after using the appliance, the metal parts of the steam nozzle can become very hot.
USING THE STEAM NOZZLE TO FROTH MILK
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n After a few moments, the "on/off" light stops flashing and the "1 cup" and "2 cups" buttons light up.
n Press the "steam pre-heating" button. During preheating, the "on/off" and "steam pre-heating" lights
flash and the "1 cup" and "2 cups" lights go off (fig.12).
