Note: do not boil the milk.
11. Remove the jug, wipe the steamer with a damp cloth and purge it with a steam shot to
remove any residue.
Note: the steam outlet nozzle should be cleaned with a damp sponge immediately after steam
stops coming out but be careful not to burn yourself.
12. To switch off the coffee machine, press the power icon. All icons on the display will turn off.
Note: if you wish to prepare coffee immediately after steaming, you must first dispense water
to allow the machine to cool down.
3.2 Brewing with ground coffee
1.
Make sure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
2.
Remove the water tank by pulling from it upwards.
3.
Fill the water tank with fresh water. Do not exceed the MAX. fill level line.
4.
Replace the water tank and make sure it is securely in place.
5.
Place the filter inside the portafilter. Fig. 3
6.
Fill the filter with ground espresso using the measuring spoon provided. Apart from the
type of coffee used and the coffee grind, the key to a quality espresso is to distribute and
press it evenly in the filter with the tamper. It must also be ensured that the filter is always
clean and free of coffee residues. Fig. 4
7.
Insert the portafilter into the machine head. Turn the portafilter handle slightly to the left
and then turn it to the right to the lock position. Make sure that the portafilter is securely
in place and tilted slightly to the right. Fig. 5
8.
Place one or two pre-heated cups under the coffee spout.
9.
Plug the appliance into a mains socket, press the power icon, the other icons will light up.
10. Once the machine has finished preheating, select one of the options (Espresso, Double,
Americano, Cold Espresso) depending on the type of coffee you want to prepare and wait
a few seconds until the coffee comes out.
11.
The extraction process will take about 25 seconds and, if no operation is performed
during this time, the machine will stop automatically.
12.
Once the brewing process has finished, press the power icon to switch off the appliance,
all the icons on the display will switch off.
13.
Remove the portafilter by turning it clockwise and then, remove the filter.
14. Allow the accessories to cool completely before washing them under running water.
Note:
-
If the grind is too fine, the coffee will be over-extracted, resulting in a bitter coffee, with an
irregular, spotty crema.

-
If the grind is too coarse, water will quickly pass through the ground coffee without being
properly extracted, resulting in coffee with little crema.
-
If necessary, add more ground coffee to fill the filter and re-press the ground coffee with
the tamper.
-
Wipe any coffee residue from the rim of the portafilter to ensure that it is securely attached
to the appliance head to prevent leakage.
-
The pressing of ground coffee is a crucial part of the espresso preparation process. If
pressed evenly and consistently, the espresso will be extracted slowly and more crema
will be produced. If not pressed compactly, the espresso will be extracted more quickly,
and less crema will be formed.
-
A perfect extraction will result in a dark, hazelnut-coloured coffee with reddish hues.
-
After preparing a hot espresso, allow the machine to cool down for 15 minutes before
preparing a cold espresso.
-
To do this, activate the steam function by pressing the steam icon and turning the steam
knob to the ON position to dispense water through the steamer and cool the coffee
machine. Once the machine has cooled down, turn off the steam function and turn the
steam knob to the OFF position so that no more water comes out and the machine can be
used to prepare coffee again.
3.3 Hot water function
Press and hold the steam icon for 3 seconds to make the coffee machine dispense hot water
through the steamer.
Cooling function
The coffee machine reaches very high temperatures after frothing milk or dispensing hot
water, which means that the machine must first be cooled down before it can be used to make
coffee again. Otherwise, coffee could splash out and cause burns. Once the appliance has
cooled down, you can use it again to prepare coffee.
Press the steam icon to deactivate the steam function. Then, turn the steam knob to
the ON position to dispense water through the steamer and cool down the appliance.
Once the machine has cooled down, turn the steam knob to the OFF position so that
no more water comes out and the machine can be used to prepare coffee again.
4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off and unplug it from the wall socket. Do not immerse
the machine in water or any other liquid. To clean it, simply wipe it with a clean, damp cloth and
dry it before storing it.
