packaging materials attached to your
espresso machine. Ensure you have removed
all parts and accessories before discarding
the packaging.
Clean parts and accessories (water tank,
portafilter, filter baskets and jug) using
warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid
and rinse well. Wipe the outer housing
and drip tray with a soft damp cloth and
dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the outer
housing, power cord or power plug in water
or any other liquid.
The water filter located inside the water tank
will need to be removed before washing the

all the button surrounds on the control
panel will illuminate.
NOTE
Check the water level before use and
replace the water daily. The water tank
should be filled with fresh, cold tap water
before each use.
Do not use mineral or distilled water or any
other liquid.
TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
• Once the grind function has been
completed, carefully withdraw the
portafilter from the grinding cradle,
being careful not to spill any ground
coffee, tap down to collapse and using
the integrated tamper, tamp down firmly
(approx. 15–20 kg of pressure).
TRIMMING THE DOSE
The Razor™ precision dose trimming tool
allows you to trim the puck to the right level
for a consistent extraction.
the Razor™
Precision dose trimming tool
Insert the Razor™ into the coffee basket
until the shoulders of the tool rest on the
rim of the filter basket. The blade of the
dosing tool should penetrate the surface
of the tamped coffee.
Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portafilter on an angle over
the knock box to trim off excess coffee.
Your coffee filter basket is now dosed with
the correct amount of coffee.
NOTE
When using a finer espresso grind for the
Single Wall Filter basket, you will need to
increase the grind amount to ensure the
filter is correctly dosed.
