Operating instructions
Filling the water reservoir
1
Fill the reservoir with water. You can use a jug or remove the reservoir
from the machine and fill it from a tap or water filter. Open the lid and
fill the reservoir with the desired amount of water, ensuring the fill level
is somewhere between the "MIN" and "MAX" markings on the tank.
Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.
2
Close the water reservoir lid. If you removed the reservoir to fill it,
ensure it is properly fitted back into place.
Filling the milk reservoir
If you plan to prepare a cappuccino or a latte, remove the milk reservoir
from the unit and open the lid. Pour in the required quantity of cold milk,
ensuring the fill level is somewhere between the "MIN" and "MAX"
markings on the tank. Then place the milk reservoir back in the unit
ensuring it is properly fitted.

NOTE: You can use whole milk, semi-skimmed, organic or soy milk.
Choosing the filter
Select the filter to be used:
•
For a single shot, if using ground coffee, use the single shot filter.
•
For a double shot or two single shots, use the double shot filter.
Adding ground coffee
For ground coffee, place the selected filter in the porta-filter as follows:
1.
Put fresh, fine ground espresso coffee into the filter. Be careful not to overfill.
2. Tamp down the ground coffee and compress firmly and evenly.
3. Wipe away any excess coffee from the rim to ensure a proper fit under
the brew head.

Coffee types
Espresso
A unique method of coffee brewing in which hot water is forced through
finely ground coffee. It is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular
drip coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 44 to 59 ml
(1.5 to 2 oz.) portions, in demitasse cups.
