Before first use
Before using your coffee maker for the
first time or if you have not used it for some
time, rinse the machine by running water
through. Follow the procedure for making
espresso coffee below, without coffee in the
filter holder.
Espresso operation
Filling the water tank

tank sideways using the ribs and remove
to fill. A
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill or carry
when full.
WARNING: Do not fill through the
top lid, only fill the tank itself.

and 2 spoons for 2 cups of ground
coffee into the filter. With the other end
of the measuring spoon, use the
compactor ‰to tamp down the
coffee. E
IMPORTANT: Be sure not to overfill the
filter with too much coffee, and wipe around
the edge of the filter to remove any coffee
grounds.
5Place the filter holder ‡on the brewing
head and position the handle so it points

6For brewing 2 cups, place the cups
under each of the holes in the filter, for
brewing 1 cup only, place the cup
centrally on the drip tray. H. When the
coffee maker is at the correct
temperature the ‘warm up light’ will go
out ¤.
7Press the coffee selector button ›. You
will hear the machine make a pumping
noise, this is normal.
8Once the cups are filled to the desired
level press the coffee selector button.
Water will still filter through for a few
seconds after the machine has been
switched off.
WARNING: Never remove the filter
holder when water is running through
it.
9Remove the filter holder and filter by
turning the filter holder handle to the left.
10To the remove the used coffee grounds
from the filter, turn the filter holder
upside down. Gently tap out the
coffee. I
11Once the orange ‘warm up light’ goes
out your machine is ready to make the
next espresso.
Steam function
The froth attachment makes it easy to
produce frothy milk for cappuccino.
1Attach the froth attachment to the end of
the steam nozzle. J
IMPORTANT: For the froth enhancing
attachment to work you must ensure that it
is pushed firmly onto the steam nozzle.
2Fill the water tank with cold tap water.
3Turn the unit on. The ‘power light’ and
‘warm up light’ will both illuminate.
4Swing the steam nozzle with the froth
attachment to the side of the machine.
5Pour cold milk into a suitable jug. Use
approximately 100ml for each
cappuccino.
Note: For best results we recommend to
use refridgerated milk and a stainless steel
jug that is well chilled.
6Press the steam button fl. The steam
ligth Èwill illuminate and stay lit whilst
the unit is in steam mode.
7When the unit is the right temperature
the ‘warm up light’ will go out.
8Hold the jug under the steam nozzle so
that the head of the froth attachment is
immersed in the milk. K
9Turn the steam control dial towards the
steam symbol . You will hear the
machine make a pumping noise, this is
normal.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the tip of the
nozzle to touch the bottom of the jug
because this could obstruct the passage of
steam.
10Once the froth has been produced, turn
the steam control dial towards and
remove the jug.
Note: Do not be alarmed by the
escaping steam from the base.
11The milk is ready as soon as it forms a
thick layer of foam on the top. If the milk
starts to make large popping bubbles,
you have boiled the milk and it will
therefore not froth. If this happens
replace with the chilled milk. Do not boil
the milk.

Frothing tips
•For best results use fresh, cold milk from
the refrigerator.
•Skimmed milk or fat reduced milk will
make frothing easier.
•Use a stainless steel jug.
Hot water drinks
You are able to make hot water drinks
such as tea or instant soups using the
steam nozzle.
1Ensure the unit is cold before removing
the froth attachment from the steam
nozzle if attached.
2Follow the ‘steam function’ and heat up
hot water instead of milk.
Note: It is normal for the orange ‘warm
up light’ to cycle on and off during the
water heat up process.
Preheating the coffee
maker
To make hotter coffee you may preheat
our machine. This can be achieved by
following the ‘espresso operation’ by
passing water through the coffee maker but
without using coffee.
•Never use warm or hot water to fill the
water tank.
Cleaning and
maintenance
You must clean the steam nozzle and
froth attachment immediately after each
use.
1Simply wipe the steam nozzle, cup tray
and exterior with a clean, damp cloth.
Do not use any abrasives or metal
scourers as this will damage the finish
on the unit.
2Briefly run steam through the nozzle
(follow the directions under ‘steam
function’, to clear any remaining milk out
of the steam nozzle.
WARNING: Steam from the nozzle is
extremely hot and can scald.
3Place the froth attachment under running
water to remove any excess milk.
4The filter, filter holder and water tank
should be washed after each use by
rinsing them under warm water. To assist
in keeping the filters clean we
recommend you periodically run the
machine with the filter in place, without
coffee, using water only.
5Lift out the drip tray and wash under the
tap. Ensure it is dry before refitting. L
Should the holes in the filters become
blocked with coffee granules use a fine
bristled brush.
When your coffee maker is not being
used, we recommend that you do not leave
the filter holder attached to the machine as
this will reduce the life of the gasket.
NO PARTS ARE SUITABLE FOR
CLEANING IN A DISHWASHER.

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,
then operate the coffee maker with clean
water 3 times before making coffee again.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the descaler is
suitable for coffee makers.
