First use
This coffee machine has two water heaters, one for the water and one for the coffee, which allows for ideal temperatures
for coffee and steam for cappuccino. The steam can also be used to preheat the cups.
This coffee machine can grind coffee beans when they are needed, ensuring they are freshly ground for the very best
flavour.
To stop the coffee machine dispensing – if less than the preset amount is required – simply press at any point when the
coffee is dispensing.
The grinding level of the coffee beans can be adjusted depending on personal preference to either a coarser or finer grind.
Before first use:
1. Pull the machine out of its housing by lifting the handle of the machine and pulling it towards you.
2. Fill the water tank (if the coffee machine is not to be plumbed in to the mains water supply) and the coffee
container (as described below).
3. Turn on the machine at the switch on the top left side of the machine.
4. Push the machine back into the housing.
5. Switch on the machine by pressing
6. Press to dispense a cup of hot water through the steam nozzle.
7. The machine is now ready for use.
The water tank
It is possible to use the coffee machine without connecting it to the mains water supply. There is an integral water tank
which can be used in this instance. To ensure the best results from your coffee, it is recommended that the water tank be
emptied frequently and refilled with fresh water, and no water be left in the tank for long periods.
When the water tank is empty, the message WATER MISSING will show on the display.
To fill the water tank:
1. Pull the machine out of its housing by lifting the handle of the machine and pulling it towards you.
2. Open the lid of the water tank and fill it until the water is 4cm from the top level. Then close the lid.
3. Push the machine back into the housing.
Please note:
You should only use cold drinking water in this coffee machine, with water hardness level less than 7˚F.
The water tank can be removed for cleaning, following the steps above, and then lifting it out of the machine.
The coffee container
You should use only beans for espresso coffee in this machine. Other substances, such as ground coffee, instant coffee,
beans treated with caramel, sugar or similar substances should not be used as they can damage the grinder or machine.
When the coffee container is empty, the message COFFEE MISSING will show on the display.

Care and Maintenance
DO NOT PERFORM ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING WITHOUT FIRST SWITCHING OFF THE
POWER SUPPLY.
THE COFFEE MACHINE WILL BE HOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
As the coffee machine has a stainless steel and glass surface, you should use a nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner
(including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings. Stainless steel can be effectively
cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Remove the drip tray grid and the inner tray from the drip tray drawer and the water tank. These can be cleaned with a
soft sponge and sanitising detergent solution.
The steam/water spout can be unscrewed and removed for cleaning. This should be cleaned with a soft sponge and
hot water, or can be placed in a dishwasher. After frothing milk, it is advisable to flush the spout by dispensing a small
amount of water or steam to remove any residues of milk or froth.
A cleaning cycle should be performed both before and after a prolonged period without use. To run a cleaning cycle,
press and hold for three seconds. The coffee machine will then run a cycle by passing only water through the pipes.
Emptying the coffee grounds
COFFEE GROUNDS will show on the display after 20 coffees have been made. The coffee ground container should be
emptied before a further five coffees are made or the coffee machine will stop working.
Please note: The coffee grounds container must be emptied regularly to prevent formation of bacteria and mould.
1. Open the drip tray drawer
2. Remove the drip tray grid
3. Remove the coffee grounds container and the water container and empty and clean them both.
4. Replace the containers and the drip tray grid.
5. Close the drip tray drawer.
6. Press and hold button 2 until the coffee machine beeps.
IMPORTANT:
Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
Ensure that all parts are correctly replaced after cleaning.
