How to use
Making Espresso coffee
Using ground coffee
• Slide the Water Tank
2
upwards and
remove. Fill to the MAX level shown
on the casing with cold water. Replace
the water tank, ensuring that the
valve at the base is properly seated.
• Turn the Steam Control Knob
21
clockwise to the minimum setting.
• Ensure switches
17
and
19
are OFF (in
their upper position).
• Press the POWER Switch
14
down to
switch ON. The POWER Indicator
15

Page 4
will illuminate and the water in the
boiler will start to heat.
• Add suitable ground coffee to the
Coffee Container
7
using the
Measuring Spoon
11
and tamp down
using the Tamper
19
, to no higher
than the MAX level mark.
As an approximate guide, one spoonful
is sufcient for a single Espresso, two for
a double. The strength of the Espresso
depends upon how tightly the ground
coffee is compacted in the coffee
container. If it takes more than just a
few minutes for the coffee brew to ow
into the cups, then the ground coffee
has either been ground too nely, or has
been compacted too tightly in the Coffee
Container
7
.
• Place the Coffee Container
7
into
the Filter Holder
6
. Lock-in the lter
holder to the bayonet housing
5
, as
described in detail under “Before rst
use”.
• Place a cup on the centre of the Drip
Tray
9
.
• After a few minutes, the Espresso
Ready Indicator
16
will illuminate,
showing that the water has reached
the correct temperature for making
Espresso.
• For the rst Espresso only, allow a
total of 8-10 minutes for the Filter
Holder
6
and contents to warm up,
to achieve best results.
• Press the PUMP Switch
19
down to
switch ON - the PUMP ON indicator
20
will illuminate and, after a short
time, Espresso will ow from the Filter
Holder
6
.
• Stop the pouring by pressing the
PUMP Switch
19
down again to
switch OFF (upper position, indicator
goes out) and remove the cup. Repeat
if more than 1 cup is desired; ensure
that the Espresso Ready Indicator
16
is illuminated rst.
• Having made your Espresso, gradually
Espresso (Continued) loosen the Filter Holder
6
by
carefully turning it to the left; allow
it to cool before handling further.
Remove the Coffee Container
7
and
dispose of the contents. Wash through
with cold water before returning to
the Filter Holder
6
.
NOTE
• A ‘fail-safe’ mechanism prevents
boiling dry when the water tank is
empty - just unplug the machine,
remove the water tank and rell .
Using pods
Your coffee maker can make Espresso
using 44mm paper Espresso pods,
available from all good stores. These
provide an exact dose of correctly
ground coffee, pre-weighed and pressed
between two layers of ltering paper.
The method of use is very similar
to that for ground coffee, so the
instructions are summarised below, with
only the differences described in detail.
• Fill the Water Tank
2
to the MAX
level .
• Remove the pod from its wrapping
and place in the receptacle in the
centre of the Pod Holder
8
.
• Place the Pod Holder
8
into the
bayonet housing
5
, as described in
detail under “Before rst use”.
• Place a cup on the centre of the Drip
Tray
9
.
• Follow the rest of the instructions for
“Using ground coffee”, except the Pod
Holder

17
and
19
are OFF (in
their upper position).
• Slide the Water Tank
2
upwards and
remove. Fill to the MAX level shown
on the casing with cold water. Replace
the water tank, ensuring that the
valve at the base is properly seated.

surface of the Bayonet Housing
5
with a damp cloth.
Filter holder and coffee container
• Check that the ne lter holes in the
Coffee Container
7
are not clogged;
a small brush can be used to clear any
remaining grounds, and the holder can
then be rinsed under a cold tap. If the
small hole in the ow control spacer
in the centre of the Filter Holder
6
is
clogged, it may be cleaned with a pin.
Check that the rim of the lter holder
and the underside of the top ange of
the coffee container are clean and will

heating for steam. (It is normal for a
small spurt of steam to escape during
initial heating).
• After a few minutes, the Steam Ready
Indicator
18
will illuminate, to
show that the heating for steam is
completed.
• Place an empty heat-resistant jug
under the Steam Nozzle
