ROMBOUTS would like to thank you for purchasing your new made-in-France EOH
espresso machine with its 12 month warranty. Thanks to a pressure of 15 bar, your
espresso machine can offer the best possible coffee flavour, leaving you free to sit
back and enjoy.
This machine is only compatible with 1.2.3 SPRESSO
®
natural fibre paper pods. Enjoy
the full flavour of quality organic fair trade coees.
Browse the various coffee regions in Africa, Asia and America via our selection of
coffee pods, all roasted by Rombouts.
The machine can prepare two sizes of coee cups thanks to the two no. 3 and no. 4
coee buttons on the top of the machine. Our aim is to keep all coee fans happy,
whether they prefer a strong kick or a long relaxing drink.
The machine is part of our eco-responsible policy, and will automatically switch to
standby after 8 minutes without use.
The coee cannot flow continuously from the machine for more than 60 seconds.
Beyond this period, the coee cycle stops automatically.
Try the true flavour of an espresso coee thanks to EOH. Rombouts wishes you a
happy coee break!
RECOMMENDATIONS
-To get the best out of your espresso coee machine, make sure you follow the
instructions in this manual and take good care of your water quality.
-Fill the tank (no. 6) with fresh water each time it is used (daily) We do not
recommend using bottled water, without using the tank filter (no. 12), as the
mineral content of such water is often high and could lead to scale in your
machine).
-Regularly replace the tank filter (no. 12) when the automatic warning (blue light no.
2 flashes slowly) comes on.
-If the machine is not used for more than 48 hours, we recommend rinsing your
machine’s water circuit.
-Frequently empty the pod basket (no. 7). A full pod basket can prevent new
coee pods from entering the machine, and the new pods may be damaged
when the handle is closed (no. 1).
-Never push on handle no. 1 excessively, this could damage your new coee pods.
