WARNING NEVER FILL THE BOILER CHAMBER WHILE
IN OPERATION. MAKE SURE IT IS SWITCHED
OFF. NEVER POUR MORE THAN 240ml OF
WATER INTO THE BOILER CHAMBER.
Using the glass carafe, fill the boiler chamber
with fresh, cold water to the required level.
Measuring guidelines : The glass carafe has marking for 2 cups, 4
cups.
2 cups of water makes 2 cups of espresso.
4 cups of water make 4 cups of espresso.
Place the Boiler Cap on the machine and
turn it clockwise until it is secure.
Place the carafe lid on the carafe. Let the

BREW. The indicator light will illuminate.
After approximately 2 minutes the water would have reached the
correct temperature. The water will pass through the ground coffee,
producing espresso coffee.

6
Once the espresso has stopped brewing, turn
the Espresso/cappuccino switch to OFF.
The indicator light will go out, indicating
that the machine is off.
WARNING: THE FILTER HOLDER GETS HOT DURING
OPERATION. IF THE MACHINE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION,
DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL PARTS WHEN REMOVING THE
FILTER HOLDER. AFTER REMOVING, COOL THE METAL
PARTS UNDER RUNNING WATER.
To make more espresso proceed as follows :
a. Check the boiler chamber is empty and not under pressure
(see the PRESSURE WARNING on this page)
b. Remove the filter holder, empty the filter holder.
Use the filter retainer to stop the filter falling out of the
holder.
c. Repeat steps for making espresso.
After Use ~
PRESSURE WARNING:YOU MUST NEVER OPEN THE BOILER CAP OR
REMOVE THE FILTER HOLDER WHILE THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED
"ON", OR AS LONG AS THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE BOILER.
Follow the instructions below to find out if the boiler is still under
pressure These precautions should be followed while your machine is in use
and up to 15 mins after the machine was last used.
Make sure the Espresso/Cappuccino switch
is in the OFF position. Unplug the machine
from the main supply.
Hold a jug containing cold water under the
steam nozzle and immerse the nozzle in the
cold water.
Turn the swith to steam position until steam
come out of the steam nozzle. Keep the nozzle
in the cold water until the flow of steam stops.

Turn the Espresso/Cappuccino Switch to OFF
It is now safe to remove the boiler cap and
filter holder.
Making Cappuccino…
Start the espresso making process. Add extra
water to the boiler chamber.
Fill a small stainless steel jug or mug
1/3 or 1/2 full with fresh cold milk.
Lift the jug until the steam nozzle is immersed
up to 1/2 cm in the milk.
WARNING: THE BODY OF THE JUG/MUG WILL
BE BECOME VERY HOT DURING
FROTHING.

After use…
Turn the Espresso/Cappuccino switch to steam position and adjust the steam flow to
achieve the desired froth.
Turn the Espresso /Cappuccino switch to OFF. Follow page 6 to release pressure,
until the volume of the milk has doubled.
The top half will be frothed milk and the
bottom half will be steamed milk.
Spoon the foam into the cups with the espresso
coffee. Add the liquid milk.
A cappuccino should consist of 1/3 coffee,
1/3 hot milk and 1/3 froth.

9
Open the hinge lid. Ensure the filter basket
is positioned correctly.
Install cone shape filter in the filter basket.
Put in the ground coffee in the filter.
Pour in the desired quantity of water. The
water window indicated the number of cups
you make, maximum of 8.
PLEASE NOTE : The amount of freshly brewed
coffee delivered after the brewing process will
always be slightly less than the amount put
into the water chamber. This is due to the
minimal absorption of the water by the ground
coffee. Therefore, put in a little more water
to begin with so that you will have the
number of cups that you desire.
Push the spout to position centrally over the
basket and close the hinge lid.
Place the glass carafe on the warming plate.
Press the button to switch on, the switch light
will illuminate indicating that the brewing
process has begun.

How to use your coffee maker to make coffee…

10
WARNING: It is recommend that the coffee machine is
switched off and allow to cool for at least 10
minutes before brewing a second pot of coffee.
Water placed in the water chamber straight
away, may overheat and a spray of steam
could be released, causing a risk of burns.
Stop & Service feature :
This device automatically stops the flow of
brewed coffee through the filter cone if the
glass carafe is removed from the warming
plate during the brewing cycle.
The Stop & Service device closes the filter
cone so effectively that there is virtually
no coffee-drip onto the warming plate. Once
the carafe is replaced, the brewing process
and the flow of coffee into the carafe will
continue.
WARNING: If you remove the carafe during brewing,
make sure you replace it within 20 seconds.

11
How to care your coffee maker…
Cleaning the loose parts :
IMPORTANT:Before cleaning, turn off the machine, unplug it and
allow it to cool down.
Open the hinged lid and move the spout
away to remove the filter basket.
Remove all loose parts : metal filter, filter
holder, carafe lid
Clean in the soapy water .
Clean the body with wet cloth.
Cleaning the steam nuzzle :
WARNING: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF STEAM NOZZLE IS VERY
HOT AND CAN CAUSE SCALDING. MAKE SURE YOU
KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE STEAM WHILST
FLUSHING THE NOZZLE.
Clean the steam nozzle each time it's been immersed in the milk,
otherwise the inside of the nozzle becomes clogged and the milk
deposits on the outside harden and are difficult to remove.
Remove the froth attachment to clean in
water.
Wipe the outside of the nozzle with a wet
cloth. You can turn the Espresso/Cappuccino
switch to steam position to let the steam
escape into the wet cloth for one or two
seconds, then turn OFF. The milk residue will
be flushed out.

Descaling your MCE100
The espresso machine and the coffeemaker must be descaled regularly.
The frequency depends on the hardness of your water and how often
you use the machine. Recognizable indications that descaling is
necessary are:
• Increased noise during boiling.
• Longer preparation time.
If usage is frequent, descaling should be carried out as follows:
• With soft water once a year.
• With medium hard water every 3 months.
• With hard water once a month.
We recommend the use of citric acid, which can be obtained from
chemists.
Descaling the Espresso Maker
Before descaling, the brewing sieve must be
removed from the machine. To remove the
sieve, unscrew the cross-head screw and lift
out.
Remove all limescale and coffee residue from the brewing sieve and
brewing head.
Dissolve 2 tablespoons of citric acid in 300 ml of lukewarm water and
pour it into the boiler chamber. Put a cup under the brewing head and
another under the steam nozzle.
Please Note
Do not use the filter holder during descaling. Let the descaling
solution run through the brewing head. When all the fluid has run out
of the machine, switch the machine off and allow it and the descaling
solution to cool.
Repeat the above steps, using the same descaling solution.
Repeat the above steps twice, using clean water. Switch the machine
off and allow it to cool.
Refit the brewing sieve in the brewing head.
Descaling the Coffee Maker
Dissolve 2 tablespoons of citric acid in 500 ml of water and pour into
the water container.
Switch the machine ON and run the solution through 2 or 3 times. The
hot descaling solution must be allowed to cool down between
operations.
Finally, run 2 x 500 ml of clean water through the machine.
