5. Wipe the outer surface of the appliance with alightly dampened cloth and
then wipe it thoroughly dry.
6. Prior to brewing the first cup of coffee, run the appliance empty for
approximately 60 seconds, i.e. with the water tank A9 filled with water but
without coffee tamped in the filter. This will clean out the inner components
and the brew head A7. A sufficiently large container must be placed
underneath the portafilter A8 for the hot water to flow into. Instructions for
starting the appliance are provided in chapter Operating the appliance.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
1. FILLING THE WATER TANK
1.1 Grasp the water tank A9 by the handle A2. Lift it up and remove it from the
rear part of the appliance.
1.2 Fill it up with cold water up to the maximum water mark, insert it back into
the appliance and tilt down the lid with handle A2. The water tank A9 must
be securely seated in place in order for water to be pumped out of it into the
boiler A13.
Note:
The water that you pour into the water tank A9 should ideally
be at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Water that is too
cold, could negatively affect the final taste of the coffee beverage.
Attention:
The water tank A9 has amaximum capacity of 1.5 litres of
water. Do not overfill it.
Never fill the water tank A9 with warm water, hot water or
sparkling water, or liquids such as, for example, milk.
Do not fill the water tank A9 when it is inserted in the
appliance. There is adanger of splashing the appliance or
overfilling the water tank A9.
1.3 Do not leave any remaining water in the water tank A9 for longer than
one day. For brewing quality fresh coffee, it is necessary to use fresh water.
Otherwise, the resulting flavour of the coffee beverage may be negatively
affected.
2. TURNING ON THE APPLIANCE
2.1 Connect the power cord plug to apower socket. Make sure that the water
tank A9 is filled with fresh water, that the drip tray A11 and grate A10 are
installed in their place and that the knob A12 is set to the stand-by mode
position.
2.2 To turn on the appliance, press button A3. The power indicator A4 will be lit.
3. PRE-HEATING THE APPLIANCE AND CUPS
3.1 Preparing aquality cup of espresso requires that the appliance, portafilter
A7, filter A16 or A17, and cups are preheated. This is done in the following
way.
3.2 Place empty coffee cups upside down on to surface A1 and allow them to
warm up.
3.3 Make sure the button A5 is in the pressed out position intended for coffee
brewing. Select filter A16 or A17 and insert it into the portafilter A8 so
that it securely slides in along the entire perimeter. Insert the portafilter
A8 underneath the brew head A7 so that the handle is pointing to the left.
This position is marked with“INSERT”on the front panel of the appliance.To
fasten the portafilter A8 to the brew head A7, turn the handle to the right to
the“LOCK”position.
3.4 Wait until the indicator A6 lights up. Now the pre-heating process is finished.
4. BREWING COFFEE
4.1 Remove the portafilter A8 from the appliance and place it on an even
surface and pour the corresponding amount of ground coffee into the filter.
The one-cup coffee filter A16 is filled with asingle level measuring cup A18
of coffee. The two-cup coffee filter A17 is filled with double the amount of
coffee. One level measuring cup A18 is equivalent to 7 g of ground coffee.
Spread the coffee out evenly inside the filter and gently tamp it down with
the flat end of the measuring cup A18.
4.2 Thoroughly clean ground coffee remains from the edges of the filter A16
or A17. Insert the portafilter A8 underneath the brew head A7 so that the
handle is pointing to the left. This position is marked with “INSERT” on the
front panel of the appliance. To fasten the portafilter A8 to the brew head
A7, turn the handle to the right to the“LOCK” position.
4.3 Place one or two preheated cups underneath the portafilter A8. Make sure
that the cups are located underneath the spout.
4.4 Set the knob A12 to the coffee brewing position. Within afew moments,
coffee will start flowing into the cups.
Note:
The indicator A6 may turn off while the coffee is being extracted.
This signals adecline in the water temperature in the boiler A13.
The indicator A6 will light up again as soon as the boiler A13
heats the water up to the ideal coffee brewing temperature.
Once the required amount of coffee is in the cup, set the knob A12 to the
stand-by mode position. This completes the coffee extraction process. The
extraction time for acup of espresso should be between 20 and 30 seconds
and the volume should be approximately 20 to 30 ml.
Note:
Make sure that button A5 is in the brew coffee position. If button
A5 is set to the steam release position, the espresso machine will
not dispense coffee.
4.5 If you do not fill the filter with ground coffee, you may simply pour just hot
water, for example for tea, hot chocolate, etc.
4.6 Before you start brewing another cup of coffee, first remove used coffee
grounds, clean out the filter according to the instructions contained in
chapter Maintenance and cleaning and pour out the water from the drip
tray A11. When returning the drip tray A11 to its place, push it all the way
against the back wall of the appliance.
Attention:
The water contained in the drip tray A11 is hot. When
handling it, pay extra attention.
During operation, regularly check the water level in the
water tank A9 and make sure that it does not fall below
the minimum water level mark.
5. USING THE NOZZLE TO FROTH MILK AND HEAT WATER
5.1 Prepare some cooled semi-skimmed or full-fat milk and the container in
which you will froth the milk. During the milk frothing process, its volume
expands, therefore fill the container to no more than ⅓of its capacity.
5.2 Set the nozzle A15 to such a position that the milk frothing process is
comfortable.
5.3 Make sure that the knob A12 is set to the stand-by mode position. Press
button A5 and wait until indicator A6 lights up. This signalises that the water
in the boiler A13 has reached the optimal steam generation temperature.
This temperature is higher than for brewing coffee.

5.4 Place the container with milk underneath the nozzle A15. Submerge the
nozzle A15 just beneath the surface of the milk and set the knob A12 to
the steam release position.The nozzle A15 will start releasing steam. Initially
asmall amount of hot water may be released. Hold the container slightly
tilted to ensure that the nozzle A15 remains constantly submerged just
under the surface of the milk. The milk will circulate in the container, it will
heat up and increase in volume. Milk froth will start to form on the surface
of the milk. When the bottom of the container heats up so that it is hot to
touch, stop the milk frothing by turning the knob A12 to the stand-by mode
position. When steam stops being created, remove the container. Using
aswirling motion, whip the froth into the heated milk.
Attention:
The nozzle A15 must remain submerged during the entire
frothing process. Otherwise hot milk may splash out.
5.5 Pour the frothed milk into freshly brewed coffee and use aspoon to add
the milk froth. The recommended milk and coffee ratio for preparing
cappuccino coffee is ⅓espresso, ⅓warm milk and⅓milk froth. To prepare
caffè latte, use ⅓espresso, ⅔warm milk and approximately 1 cm of milk
froth.
5.6 After removing the sleeve A14, the nozzle A15 may be used in the same way
to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, etc. When heating water, submerge the
nozzle A15 at least 5 cm under the water level.
5.7 After using the hot steam release function, it is necessary to drain the
remaining water from the boiler A13; this will prevent the subsequently
brewed coffee from being steamed with water that is too hot. Press the
button A5 to the coffee brewing position, underneath the portafilter A8,
place acup into which the hot water will be drained, and set the knob A12
to the coffee brewing position.Wait until the indicator A6 turns off. Then set
the knob A12 back to the stand-by mode position. The boiler A13 will heat
the new batch of water up to the optimal coffee brewing temperature. This
is signalised by the indicator A6 being lit.
5.8 When you have finished using it, clean out the nozzle A15 and the sleeve
A14 according to the instructions in chapter Cleaning and maintenance.
6. TURNING OFF THE APPLIANCE
6.1 When you have finished using the appliance, turn it off by pressing and
holding down button A3 for 3 seconds.
Note:
The appliance will turn off automatically after 25 minutes of
inactivity or after continuous use of the steam nozzle, or when
the pump runs non-stop for 3 minutes in the coffee brewing
mode.
BASIC GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BREWING
QUALITY COFFEE
■ Always brew coffee in aclean espresso machine. Adirty appliance can
negatively impact the taste of the coffee beverage. Instructions for cleaning
and removing limescale deposits are found in chapter Cleaning and
maintenance.
■ For brewing quality coffee, it is necessary to use fresh drinking water. Do not
use warm, heated, distilled, mineral or sparkling water. Do not leave water in
the water tank A9 for longer than one day.
■ Brew coffee from pre-ground coffee that is intended for espresso machines
or using freshly ground coffee beans. When using ground coffee beans, it is
important to correctly set the grinding fineness. Coffee beans need to be
ground to afine texture but not too fine. If the ground coffee feels like fine
flour when sifted between the fingers then the coffee will be brewed for too
long and the resulting beverage will be too dark and bitter, or the filter may
become clogged. If the coffee beans are ground too coarsely, the brewing
process will be too fast and the resulting beverage will have awatery taste
and bland aroma.
■ Select coffee beans, among others according to the roasting date marked
on the package. We recommend consuming freshly roasted coffee beans
within 3 weeks of the roasting date. To shorten the storage time, purchase
it in smaller packages. Store it in acool, dark and dry location, ideally in an
air-tight container.
■ When using pre-ground coffee, store it in an enclosed container, in dry and
cool conditions. Do not place it in arefrigerator or freezer. Consume within
aweek of opening it.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■ Prior to cleaning the appliance, press and hold down button A3 for 3 seconds,
disconnect it from the power socket and allow it to cool down.
■ For cleaning, do not use cleaning products with an abrasive effect, solvents,
etc. that could damage the appliance. No part of this appliance is intended
for washing in adishwasher.
CLEANING THE FILTERS, PORTAFILTER AND BREW HEAD
■ Release the portafilter A8 by turning the handle to the left. Remove it from
the brew head A7 and move it above arubbish bin.Turn the portafilter A8 so
that the filter with used coffee grounds points downwards. Use ateaspoon to
remove the coffee grounds. Avoid coming into contact with the surface of the
filter or portafilter A8 as they may still be hot. Prior to removing the filter from
the portafilter A8, cool it down under cold running water. Then rinse the filter
and the portafilter A8 under clean running water and dry them thoroughly.
■ If you used coffee that was ground too finely, then the holes in the filter may
have become clogged.To clean them out, use athin needle.
■ Remove ground coffee remains from the brew head A7 using adamp wiping
cloth.
Attention:
The brew head A7 remains hot after use due to residual
heat. Allow it to cool down before cleaning it.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
■
The drip tray A11 needs to be emptied and washed every time the appliance
is used.
■ First remove the grate A10 from the drip tray A11 and then remove the
water. Wash the drip tray A11 and the grate A10 in warm water with neutral
kitchen detergent. Then rinse both parts under running water, wipe dry and
return to their place.
CLEANING THE NOZZLE ANDTHE MILK FROTHING ATTACHMENT
■ It is necessary to thoroughly clean the nozzle A15 and the sleeve A14 after
every use.
■ Take off the sleeve A14, rinse under hot running water and wipe dry.
■ Thoroughly clean the nozzle A15 using adampened cloth. In the event that
there are dried milk residues on the nozzle A15, submerge it into acontainer
with hot water to allow them to soak away. In the event that the dried milk
residues clog the steam exhaust outlet, clean it out using aneedle. Finally,
clean the nozzle A15 using adampened cloth, wipe dry and install it on to
the sleeve A14.
CLEANING THE OUTER CASE
■ Wipe the outer surface of the appliance using alightly dampened cloth
and wipe dry.
REMOVING LIMESCALE DEPOSITS
■ It is necessary to regularly remove limescale deposits from the appliance.
Limescale deposits may negatively affect the quality of the brewed coffee
and the lifetime of the appliance.
■ In the case of daily use of the appliance, we recommended to remove the
limescale deposits:
– once per month in areas with hard and very hard water;
– once every 2 to 3 months in areas with soft and medium soft water.
■ To remove limescale deposits, use asolution of 8% white vinegar and water
(recommended dilution ratio of 1:2). Instead of the water and vinegar
solution, it is possible to use citric acid or alimescale remover intended
for espresso type machines. The recommended dosage for citric acid is
2teaspoons per 0.5l of water. Dose the limescale remover according to the
manufacturer’sinstructions.
■ Fill the water tank A9 with the solution all the way up to the maximum level
line. Connect the appliance to apower socket. Attach the portafilter A8 to
the brew head A7. Place asufficiently large container under the brew head
A7 and the nozzle A15. Allow the majority of the solution to flow through
the brew head A7 and allow the remainder to flow through the nozzle A15.
■ After using the solution, thoroughly rinse out the water tank A9 using clean
water and allow clean water to flow through the appliance once or twice.
Attention:
Do not forget to regularly check the water level in the
water tank A9 and in the drip tray A11.
