cal standby position. Press the power button. The power button flashes and the
machine starts heating. Wait until all buttons illuminate. The required temperature
for performing extractions will be reached within approx. 1 minute.
INSERTING THE REQUIRED FILTER BASKET
The espresso machine comes with different filter baskets (see: 'Knowing Your New
Espresso Machine'). It is essential for achieving best results to select the appropriate
filter basket for the desired task (see: 'Properties of Your New Espresso Machine'
and 'Tips for Best Results').
IMPORTANT - The filter basket engages within the portafilter via a bulge at the
side wall. There are 3 notches at the rim of the portafilter, for removing the filter
basket from the portafilter. If required, insert a medium screw driver or the handle
of a teaspoon into a notch for levering out the filter basket.
CAUTION
– Do not use violence. When the filter basket is bent or dama-
ged in any other way, it cannot be installed at the group head without leakage
and must be replaced. Always use only one filter basket.
5. If required, remove the installed filter basket from the portafilter. You may use a
medium screw driver or the handle of a teaspoon for levering the filter basket
out of the portafilter.
6. Rinse the filter basket you removed and the portafilter. Remove any residues of
coffee powder and oils (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
7. Select the required filter basket (see: 'Properties of Your New Expresso Machine
/ Selecting the Filter Basket'): – 1 cup filter basket for approx. 30 ml Espresso
or mild coffee (Long Black). – 2 cups filter basket for approx. 60 ml Espresso or
strong coffee (Long Black). – POD filter basket for coffee pads.
8. Insert the selected filter basket into the portafilter and press the filter basket down
into the portafilter. There may be no gap between the rim of the portafilter and
the filter basket.
9. Pre-heat your cups and the portafilter and filter basket using the hot water func-
tion. This is a good way too, for flushing the water system of the machine before
extraction (see below: 'Pre-Heating').
