PRE-HEATING
To make a cup of good, hot Espresso coffee, we recommend you preheat the appliance before
making the coffee, including the funnel, filter and cup so that the coffee flavour is not influenced by
the cold parts.
1. Remove the detachable tank and open the tank cover to fill it with the desired amount of
water. The water level should not exceed the "MAX" mark in the tank. Then place the tank
back into the appliance properly.
2. Set the coffee powder mesh into the metal funnel, then insert the funnel into the appliance
from the "Insert" position and release the press bar, then fix them into the coffee maker
firmly by turning the unit anticlockwise until it is in the LOCK position.
3. Place an espresso cup (your cup) on the removable shelf.
4. Connect the appliance to a power supply source. Make sure the steam control knob is on
the minimum position.
5. Turn the "On/Off" switch to the "-" position, where the power indicator will be illuminated.
Make sure the steam switch is on the "O" position, then turn the coffee switch to the "-"
position. When water starts to flow out, turn the coffee switch to the "O" position
immediately. The purpose of this step is to pump the water from the tank into the housing.
6. When the ready indicator is illuminated, you should turn the coffee switch to the "-" position
again, and hot water will flow out. When the ready indicator goes out, turn the coffee
switch back to the "O" position. Pre-heating is now finished.

MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE

1. Remove the metal funnel by turning it clockwise, then set your coffee powder into the metal
funnel. Add ground coffee to the mesh with the measuring spoon, then press the ground
coffee tightly into the mesh using the tamper. (A spoon of ground coffee will make about a
cup of top-grade coffee).
2. Insert the funnel into the appliance from the "Insert" position, then fix it firmly into the
appliance by turning it anticlockwise until it is in the LOCK position.
3. Pour the hot water in your cup out. Then place your hot cup back onto the removable shelf.
4. When the ready indicator is illuminated, you should turn the coffee switch to the "-" position,
then shortly afterwards coffee will begin flowing out.
Note: During brewing or while making steam, it is normal for the ready indicator to go out,
which simply means that the heating element is switching on to keep the temperatures in
the required range.
5. You should turn the "On/Off' switch to the "O" position manually when the desired amount of
coffee is in your cup or the colour of the coffee changes to show the strength of the coffee
is weakening. When this is done, the power indicator and ready indicator will go out and
the coffee maker will stop operating. Your coffee is now ready.
Warning: Do not leave the coffee maker unattended during the making of coffee, as you
may need to operate manually sometimes!
6. After you have finished making your coffee, you can take the metal funnel out by turning it
clockwise, and then pour the coffee residue out of the mesh by using the press bar.
7. Let them cool down completely, then rinse the funnel and mesh under running water.
