Before using for the first time
Set-up
1. Begin by cleaning all parts as described in the section entitled "Cleaning and
care".
2. Any length of non-required cable should be fed into the bottom of the base.
3. Place the appliance on a stable, water-resistant surface.
Starting up the appliance
1. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the two- or four-cup mark, as required.
Under no circumstances should you fill the reservoir beyond the four-cup
mark.
2. Use the filter basket to prepare four cups.
If you want to make only two cups, place the adapter into the filter basket
before filling it with espresso powder.
Now pour espresso powder into the basket and smooth the surface without
pressing it down.
Note: if the espresso powder is pressed into the filter basket, the holes may
become clogged.
Use your finger to remove any powder on the edges. This ensures that the
appliance can seal properly.
3. Insert the filter basket into the water reservoir.
4. Place the jug on top of the water reservoir and screw it closed by turning it in
a clockwise direction.
5. Place the appliance on the base and plug the mains plug into an earthed wall
socket. Turn on the appliance using the on/off switch. The indicator light
glows white.
6. Once brewing has finished, the appliance switches off automatically and the
indicator light turns off.
7. The coffee is served directly from the appliance. For an even strength and a
balanced aroma, stir the espresso in the jug or swirl the jug carefully.
Safety system
A safety valve protects the appliance against over-pressurising. For this reason,
it must not be tampered with under any circumstances. The pressure valve is not
guaranteed to work safely if the appliance is operated with too much water.
If the appliance is accidentally operated without water, a thermostat switches the
appliance off to protect it from overheating. The appliance is ready to use again
once it has cooled down.
Should the first thermostat malfunction due to improper use, an additional
temperature limiter provides reliable protection.
