*Before you use this machine: Take the
'Newness' out ... *.
First rinse out the unit with water (never put soap or
detergent inside the machine). Then to remove the
'newness', and sterilise the boiler, use the Coffee Jug to
fili
the Machine with hot water until it reaches the bottom
of the water hole. Screw the Black Knob tightly on and put
the machine on a high heat on your gas or electric
stovetop. Make sure the Coffee Handle, Filter Basket and
Coffee Jug are all in
place.
When water stops pouring into
the Jug turn the heat off. When the machine has cooled
empty the remaining water. Rinse once more.
(This cleaning process is only necessary when the machine
is new or has not been used for a long period of time.)
The
'Quick Guide'
in this manual is for making 3 to 4
large mugs of coffee. You will make around 400ml or
15 FL OZ. of coffee. It is recommended that you begin by
following this method. As you become accustomed to
using the Machine you can begin experimenting with
different quantities of water and coffee. Using less water
creates very strong espresso style black coffee. Generally
an espresso 'shot' is around 30-40ml of coffee extract
(To make 2 or 3 small espresso shots only fill the jug
half full
or less
at the start of the process). Some water is always left
in the machine for the production of steam.
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS FULLY AND CAREFULLY BEFORE
