Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labeling and
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,
portalter, lter baskets and jug) using warm
water and a gentle dish washing liquid and
rinse well. Wipe the outer housing, bean
hopper 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 lter located inside the water tank
will need to be removed before washing the
water tank.
CONDITIONING THE WATER FILTER
• Remove lter from the plastic bag and
soak in a cup of water for 5 minutes.
• Rinse lter under cold running water.
• Wash the stainless steel mesh in the
plastic lter compartment with cold
water.
• Insert the lter into the lter holder.
• Set the dial date 2 months ahead.
• To install lter, push down to lock into
place.
• Slide the water tank into position and
lock into place.
FIRST USE
Initial Start Up
• Fill tank with water
• Press POWER button
• A pumping sound will be heard.
The machine will reach operating
temperature and go into Standb y mode.
FLUSHING THE MACHINE
It is recommended to complete a water
ushing operation, without ground coee,
to ensure the machine has been conditioned.
When the machine has reached STANDBY
mode, run the following 2 steps.
• Press the 2 CUP button to run hot water
through the group head for 30 seconds.
• Activate steam for 10 seconds.

OPERATING YOUR CATLER PRODUCT

16 OPERATING YOUR CATLER PRODUCT
FILLING THE WATER TANK
• Ensure the water lter is securely tted
inside the tank.
• Fill the water tank with cold tap water to
the maximum mark on the side of the
tank and slide the water tank back into
position at the back of the machine.
• Plug the power cord into power outlet
and switch On at power point.
• Press the POWER button. The POWER
button surround will ash while the
machine is heating. When the correct
temperature has been reached, 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 lled with fresh, cold tap
water before each use.
Do not use de-mineralised or distilled
water or any other liquid.
SETTING THE GRIND SIZE
The grind size will aect the rate of water
ow through the coee in the lter basket
and the avour of the espresso. When setting
the grind size, it should be ne but not too
ne and powdery.
There are 18 settings on the GRIND SIZE
select dial - The smaller the number, the
ner the grind size. The larger the number,
the coarser the grind size. We recommend
you start at the No. 5 setting and adjust as
required.
GRINDING THE COFFEE
• Fill the hopper with fresh coee beans.
• Place the portalter into the grinding
cradle.
• Insert lter basket required into the
porta-lter.
Press the FILTER SIZE button to select your
lter size (single or double).
AUTOMATIC DOSING
• Push and release the portalter to
activate the grinding switch, then allow
the portalter to be dosed with fresh
ground coee.
• To stop the grinding function during
single or double dose, simply press the
lter size button.

OPERATING YOUR CATLER PRODUCT
ADJUSTING THE GRIND AMOUNT
Set the GRIND AMOUNT dial to the 3 o’clock
position as a starting point for dose amount.
Adjust towards LESS or MORE as required to
adjust the dose amount so the cap on the
supplied tamper is level with the top edge of
the lter basket rim, AFTER tamping.
NOTE
You may need to adjust the GRIND
AMOUNT dial a few times to achieve
the correct grind amount.
MANUAL DOSING
• With the portalter inserted, push and
hold the micro switch down until the
desired amount of ground coee has
been dosed.
• To stop the function during a manual
grind function, simply release the
portalter. This will release the activation
switch to stop the grind function.
TAMPING THE GROUND COFFEE
• Once the grind function has been
completed, carefully withdraw the
portalter from the grinding cradle,
being careful not to spill any ground
coee, tap down to collapse and using
the integrated tamper, tamp down rmly
(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.
Insert the Razor™ into the coee basket until
the shoulders of the tool rest on the rim of
the lter basket. The blade of the dosing tool
should penetrate the surface of the tamped
coee.
Rotate the Razor™ dosing tool back and forth
while holding the portalter on an angle over
the knock box to trim o excess coee.
Your coee lter basket is now dosed with
the correct amount of coee.

Insert portalter into group head to extract
coee.

ESPRESSO PRESSURE GAUGE
IDEAL ESPRESSO ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
middle zone during extraction, indicates
the espresso will be extracted at the ideal
pressure.
UNDER EXTRACTE D ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
lower zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with insucient
pressure. This occurs when the water ow
through the ground coee is too fast and
results in an under extracted espresso that
is watery and lacks crema and avour.
Causes for under extraction include the grind
being too coarse and/or insucient coee
in lter basket and/or under tamping.
OVER EXTRACTE D ZONE
The gauge needle, when positioned in the
upper zone during extraction, indicates the
espresso has been extracted with too much
pressure. This occurs when the water ow
through the ground coee is too slow and
results in an over extracted espresso that
is very dark and bitter with a mottled and
uneven crema.
Causes for over extraction include the grind
being too ne and/or too much ground
coee in lter basket.
TEXTURING MILK
The Catler ES 8013 comes complete with
a commercial style 360° stainless steel steam
wand.
WARNING:
Ensure the STEAM DIAL is in the
STANDBY position before removing
the steam wand from the frothing jug.
