Getting started.

1. Filling the boiler
Open boiler top and fill with fresh water not exceeding
1
the top ("max") of the water level indicator
water in the boiler is therewith close to 4 pints. Close boiler
top properly. Close also the steam tab
right). Connect the machine to the power supply. Press the
on/off button ; this will light up, as will the control lamp
4
next to it, indicating that the boiler is heating the water.
2. Releasing air and heating up
As soon as the control lamp goes out (after about 10
5
minutes) and the pressure gauge
steam tab briefly, allowing the air to be released out of the
3
boiler. The control lamp lights up once again briefly, because
the machine has to re-heat the water to equal out the de-
crease in pressure. When the lamp switches off, the machine
is ready for use. The on/off button
control lamp switches on and off; in doing so, you can see that
the boiler pressure regulation is working. Depending on the
boiler pressure, the pressure regulator switches the boiler on
or off, allowing the water to be kept at a constant temperature
and to prevent a waste in electricity.
3. Preheat the brew group
To preheat the portafilter , place it in the brew group
6
(turn it to the right; figs. 01 and 02) and then lift and lower the
lever briefly. This action releases water that is then pushed
8
through the piston. Repeat this action until portafilter and
brew group have heated up (two or three times). To preheat the
cups, place them on the top of your Cremina.

4. Locking the portafilter
In order remove the portafilter
handle to the left to release it out from the brew group

Now put a filter basket into the portafilter (for one cup (a), for
two cups (b)). Fill the basket with espresso grind using the
measurement control of the espresso grinder. For a single shot,
the basket will hold about 0.27 oz and a double 0.53 oz. Tamp
the espresso grind, clean any grind remains from the edges of
the basket and from the "bayonet mount". Lock the portafilter
back into the brew group.
