Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance! In
addition we offer the following safety advice.

hot surfaces such as a hot plate or
radiant rings or near a naked flame.
•WARNING: Do not place the coffee
maker onto a metal tray or metal
surface whilst in use.

mains supply when filling, cleaning or
not in use.
•When unplugging, turn any control to
‘off’, then remove plug from the wall
outlet.
•Keep the outside of the coffee maker
area clean and dry at all times.

Using your coffee
maker for the first time
Take your coffee maker out of the box
and remove the packaging.
Before using the coffee for the first time,
clean thoroughly by operating two or three
times with the maximum volume of fresh
water (6 cups) but without using coffee.
Wash the detachable parts of the
machine in warm soapy water.
Making a perfect
espresso coffee
1Unscrew the pressure cap ⁄by turning
it anti-clockwise.
2To fill the water tank ¤ use your glass
jug  to measure the volume of water
required. The jug is marked with the
water levels for 2 cups (minimum), 4
cups and 6 cups (maximum).
Always switch the machine off and
remove the plug from the socket before
filling the water tank. Care should be
taken to ensure that the correct quantity
of water is placed in the tank, as the
machine always uses all the water.
3Close the pressure cap tightly by turning
it clockwise.
4Place the washable metal filter › into
the filter holder fland add the desired
quantity of coffee to the filter using the
measuring spoon provided. Special
marks on the inside of the filter show the
correct levels for 2, 4 and 6 cups of
coffee. Using the flat end of the spoon
lightly compress the coffee down.
Remove excess coffee from the edge of
the filter.
5Position the filter holder underneath the
water outlet ‚, push it upwards and turn
it to the right into the locked position to
fix it onto your coffee machine.
Note : Push firmly to the right to lock into
position.
6Your machine is fitted with a strength
selector ‹ which allows you to make
LIGHT to STRONG coffee. Set the
strength selector mid way between
LIGHT and STRONG for MEDIUM
strength coffee.
7Place your glass jug with the lid on the
drip tray ‡ and ·directly under the
spout of the filter holder, ensuring that
the jug handle is pointing outwards from
the unit. Press the on/off switch „to
‘ON’ and the orange light will glow. The
coffee will start to flow from the filter
holder spout after about 2 or 3 minutes.
Wait until all the water from the water
tank has flowed into your glass jug and
the green light glows.
8Set the on/off switch to ‘OFF’.
9When the filtering process is complete
remove the glass jug from your coffee
maker and pour the coffee into your
cups.
10 Unplug machine and allow to cool.
Slowly remove the pressure cap.
11 To remove the used coffee grounds,
remove the filter holder by turning the
handle to the left until you find that the
filter holder drops down. Flip the filter
retaining clip fi so that it retains the
filter. Turn the filter upside down and
knock out the grounds. Flip the retaining
clip back along the handle before the
next use.
Note: Due to the amount of steam lost
through the process, the coffee produced
will be less than the water put in. This is
accounted for in the amount to put in.

Making a perfect
cappuccino coffee
Prepare your machine as described in
the section, ‘How to make a perfect
espresso coffee’. Use your glass jug for
measuring the correct amount of water
needed. Follow steps 1-11 how to make a
perfect espresso.
Frothing milk
It is advised to start heating your milk
ready for frothing several minutes before
making coffee to ensure milk is hot.
1Fill the stainless steel milk jug provided
with the required amount of milk. Do not
exceed the maximum level or add less
than the minimum level.
2Place the jug on the hot plate and switch
on, the orange light will glow.
3Once the coffee is brewed, the milk is
ready to froth. Lift the milk jug up to the
milk frother blade (see diagram). Raise
the milk jug ensuring that the frother
blade is just under the surface of the
milk - this will give the maximum froth.
Push and release the milk frother button.
TAKE CARE AS THE MILK WILL BE HOT.
When the milk is frothy, (which normally
takes around 30 seconds), press the
milk frother button once more to stop the
frother.
4Pour the coffee into cups and gently
pour or preferably spoon the milk onto
the coffee, then sprinkle a little chocolate
powder for perfect cappuccino.
Turn off the milk frother hot plate by
pressing the neon on/off switch.
Warning: the stainless steel jug and
the hotplate will remain hot for sometime
after switching off.
The milk frother blade can be removed
for easy cleaning by unscrewing the blade.
Wash carefully in hot soapy water. It is
recommended that you remove the blade
immediately after use, as dried milk can be
difficult to remove. To replace, insert the
stem of the milk frother blade into the
mounting hole on the unit and screw into
place.
There may be some splash back of milk
on the underside of the frothing unit. Switch
the unit off then simply wipe this area clean
with a damp cloth.

Descaling
•If you live in a hard water area, we
recommend that your coffee maker is
descaled at regular intervals, e.g. every 2-
3 months. In areas of moderately hard
water you should descale every 6 months.
•If the water filters through more slowly
than usual, it is a sign that descaling is
necessary.
•We recommend you use proprietary liquid
descaler which is especially made for
coffee makers and plastic kettles. Follow
the instructions on the bottle or sachet,
and then operate the coffee maker with
just water 3 times before making coffee.
•Do not use kettle descaler unless the
packet specifically states it is suitable for
coffee makers.
Cleaning care
Unplug the coffee maker, slowly remove
the pressure cap and allow to cool.
Do not immerse the coffee maker in liquid.
Rinse the water tank occasionally with
cold water. Do not use a cloth as any residue
or lint may be left behind to clog the coffee
maker.
Wash the milk frother blade, drip tray,
glass jug, lid, filter and filter holder, in warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly. Refit filter, filter holder and milk
frother blade.
Wipe all external surfaces with a damp
cloth and dry thoroughly.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
ALL WASHABLE PARTS ARE
DISHWASHER SAFE.
