Know your coffee maker

Before the first use

To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent, rinse the coffee maker with warm water as follows:
1. Pour water into the water tank. Water level should not exceed the "MAX" mark on the tank. Then,
replace the water tank cover.
Note: The appliance is supplied with a detachable tank for easy cleaning. You can fill the tank with
water first, and then return the tank into the appliance.
2. Place the steel mesh into the metal funnel (without any coffee in steel mesh).
3. Place a jug on the removable shelf. Make sure the steam control knob is on the OFF position.
Note: The appliance is not supplied with a jug. Please use your own jug or a coffee cup.
4. Connect the appliance to power supply. Press the power switch " " once. The red indicator is
illuminated.
5. Press the coffee switch. The pump will start pumping water. When water starts to flow out of the
appliance, stop the pump by pressing the coffee switch. Press the steam switch selector and wait for
a moment. The appliance starts to preheat. When the inner lamp of coffee switch is illuminated, the
preheating process is finished. Press the coffee switch and water will flow out of the appliance.
6. When water stops flowing or dripping from the appliance, you can discard the water in the container
(jug or coffee cup). Clean the container thoroughly. Now, you can start brewing.
Note: There may be noise when water is pumped for the first time. This is normal: the appliance is
displacing the air inside. After about 20 seconds, the noise will disappear.
Preheating
To make a cup of good hot espresso, we recommend preheating the appliance before making coffee,
including the funnel, filter and cup. This way, coffee flavour will not be affected by the cold parts.
1. Remove the detachable tank and open the tank cover to fill it with the desired amount of water. Water
level should not exceed the "MAX" mark on the tank. Then, correctly place the tank into the
appliance.
2. Place the steel mesh into the metal funnel, making sure the tube on the funnel aligns with groove in
the appliance. Then, insert the funnel into the appliance from the "Insert" position, and fix it into the
coffee maker firmly by turning it anticlockwise until it is in the "Lock" position.
3. Place an espresso cup on the removable shelf.
