DAILY USE - DISPENSING COFFEE OR TEA
To achieve optimum performance from your Capsule Machine follow this
procedure. SAFETY INSTRUCTION: Never lift the lever whilst
the beverage is being dispensed. Hot beverage may cause
injury and burns.
Your Dualit Café Plus has a Filter Plate used to create the smooth
espresso crema. This needs regular cleaning to maintain optimum performance. If you notice your
coffee is extracting slowly or not at all, please refer to the Cleaning Section. Extraction between 10
and 40 seconds for a 35ml espresso shot is within the normal range. If extraction lasts longer than
45 seconds, please follow the cleaning procedure found on page 16, then carry out a descale.

WARM CUPS LIFT LEVER
Place a cup on the Drip Tray.
For best results, pre-warm
the cup by dispensing hot

of water before dispensing
coffee.
Lift the Lever fully and insert a capsule. Ensure capsule is not
damaged or deformed. If so, discard and use a new capsule.
Once inserted push the Lever down fully. Carefully select
the tea or coffee button. Failure to select the correct button
for your capsule may block your Filter Plate; preventing
or slowing down extraction. Caution: Do not use tea
function with coffee capsules, this may damage
your machine and invalidate warranty. Please see

When relling with water, always switch off the capsule
machine and only then remove and rell the Water Tank.
Otherwise, water could leak from the appliance. If you still
feel the capsule machine is leaking, stop, unplug and contact
Dualit customer services+for help.
