group (11) and turn it from left to right until it locks, in order
to pre-heat it. Leave the fi lter holder handle (Fig. E).

Slightly press the coffee with the measuring spoon (fi g. H),
then clean the fi lter holder brim of any coffee residues.
•
Install the fi lter holder (6) in the boiler group (11), as de-
scribed above.

Push the coffee switch (3). When the required amount of
coffee has run into the cups, turn the coffee switch off.
