before making coffee for the first time
1 Put all buttons in the 'out' (off) position.
2 Lift the tank lid and pour cold water into the tank. Or, pull up the tank to
remove. Fill, then re-fit by pushing down into position.
We recommend using filtered water from a Kenwood water filter as it produces
better coffee and reduces limescale. Never use fizzy water.
3 Swing out the maxi-cappucino nozzle and put a jug underneath.
4 Put a bowl under the liquid coffee outlet. (Don't fit the filter holder.)
5 Switch the on-off button on. (The on-off and coffee lights will come on.)
6 Switch the coffee button on for 30 seconds or till one cup of water runs into the
bowl. (Allow a few seconds for the water to appear.)
7 Hold the steam release/hot water button down till one cup of water runs into
the jug. Release the button.
8 Switch the coffee button off (the coffee light will stay on). Switch the on-off
button off.
Repeat these steps if you haven't made coffee for a few days.
to make espresso
1 Put all buttons in the 'out' (off) position.
2 Pour water into the tank.
3 Ensure the thermocream
(The thermocream
maintained at a constant pressure and closes automatically once the coffee has
been poured. This allows you to obtain a very creamy espresso with an intense
aroma and full bodied flavour.)
4 Add the coffee using the measuring spoon (one level spoon per cup, maximum
2 cups) and gently press it against the pusher
pressure will give you a stronger brew. Less coffee and light pressure will
produce a milder espresso. Wipe off any excess coffee around the rim.
When buying ground coffee make sure it is suitable for espresso machines.
5 Lift the filter holder into the liquid coffee outlet. Turn it firmly to lock it
6 Put one or two cups underneath. If making 1 cup of coffee centre your cup in
the middle. Generally 1 cup of espresso is equal to 45 ml/1
7 Switch the on-off button on and wait for the coffee light to go out. When
making your first cup of espresso leave the machine for an additional 8-10
minutes to warm up. This will ensure your first cup of coffee is hot. Each time
you make a cup of coffee, make sure that the coffee light is off.
8 Switch the coffee button on. After a few seconds, espresso will come out
9 When you've enough espresso - not too much, otherwise it'll be too weak -
switch the coffee button off. Unless you're making more, switch the on-off
button off.
There'll be water on the filter when you remove it: this is normal.
10 To make more, always clean out the used coffee and then start at step 1.
important
Never remove the filter holder while the coffee button is on or while coffee is
brewing - steam could shoot out and burn you.
to froth milk for capuccino
1 Put all buttons in the 'out' (off) position.
2 Important: Remove the filter holder. Don't remove it during the
frothing process as steam will shoot out and could burn you.
3 Swing out the maxi-cappucino nozzle and put an empty jug underneath.
4 Switch the on-off button on, then the steam button on. (The steam light will
flash and the on-off and coffee lights will come on. Steam or hot water may drip
from the liquid coffee outlet.)
5 When the coffee light goes out, gently press the steam release/hot water button
till steam comes out (a little water will come out first). Release it after a few
seconds.
important: if steam fails to appear, or stops, switch the coffee button on for
2-3 seconds - watch out for steam coming out of the liquid coffee outlet.
6 Part-fill your jug with milk - the milk may increase up to three times in volume.
Dip the maxi-cappucino nozzle into the milk. Gently press the steam release/hot
water button and move the jug around
will spoil the flavour of the coffee.
7 Release the steam release/hot water button. Switch the steam and on-off
buttons off.
