Before first use

How to clean and prime the unit before its first use.
Please refer to the diagram on the previous page to familiarise yourself with
the product and identify all of its parts.
1
Please make sure the coffee machine is off by switching the red power
key on its side to the "0" setting. Ensure that it is unplugged.
2
Remove all stickers and labels from the coffee machine.
3
Remove and then wash the water reservoir, the milk reservoir, the
porta-filter, the three filters and measuring scoop in a mixture of mild
detergent and water. Rinse each part thoroughly and place it back into
the coffee machine.
4
Refer to the section "Fitting the porta-filter" before removing or
replacing the porta-filter.
5
To clean inside the appliance, follow the method to make cappuccino
but add water to both the water reservoir and the milk reservoir and
do not put coffee in the filter.
6
Never immerse the appliance in water or attempt to reach any of its
internal parts.
!
NOTE: To ensure that your coffee machine works perfectly, clean it after
each use.

Priming the coffee machine

To prime the unit, run the steam cycle for 90 seconds by following the steps
below:
1
Fill the water reservoir to a point between the "Min" and "Max" levels.
2
Fill the milk reservoir with water between the "Min" and "Max" levels.
3
Select one of the filters and put it into the porta-filter. Place the
porta-filter in the coffee machine, ensuring that it is properly locked
into place. Place a cup underneath it and place the tip of the frothed
milk dispensing tube inside the cup.
4
Plug in the coffee machine.
5
Turn the power switch to the "I" setting.
6
The three control panel lights will start flashing. Once these lights stop
flashing and shine solidly, press the "Cappuccino" key twice.
7
Once this process is completed, the three lights will again stop flashing
and shine solidly. Now your unit is primed and ready for use.

Selecting the right coffee

The coffee
The coffee should be freshly ground and dark-roasted. You may want to
try a French or Italian roast ground for espresso. Pre-ground coffee will only
retain its flavour for 7-8 days, provided it is stored in an airtight container in
a cool, dark area. Do not store it in a refrigerator or freezer. Whole beans
should be ground immediately before use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight
container will keep their flavour for up to four weeks.
The grind
If you are grinding your own coffee, this is a vital step. It will take practice.
The coffee must be finely ground. The correct grind should look like salt. If
the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under
pressure. These grinds look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed
between the fingers. If the grind is too coarse, the water will flow through
the coffee too quickly, preventing a full-flavored extraction. Use a high-quali-
ty grinder to get a uniform consistency.
What not to use
Do not use sugar-roasted ground coffee or sugar-roasted coffee beans as
these will clog the filter and damage the appliance. If sugar-roasted coffee is
accidentally used, please stop using the machine and contact your nearest
John Lewis & Partners shop or John Lewis & Partners Technical Support on
03301 230106. We recommend descaling the machine periodically to keep it
in good working condition.
