WARNING – RISK OF BURNS:
re and may splash. Even after operation, hot steam and hot water could escape
from the steam wand and the steam wand will be hot. Ensure to keep your hands
and any delicate object in appropriate distance to the steam wand.
The hot water function can be used to pre-heat cups and the portafilter, or to give
off hot water for a mug of coffee (see: 'Long Black—Normal Coffee'), tea or other
hot drinks.
Important: The appliance is not intended for producing large amounts of hot water.
After approx. 30 seconds, the hot water function stops automatically to ensure that
the water keeps the correct temperature. Depending on the required amount, you
may need to start the hot water function again after making a break. In this case,
wait for approx. 1 minute, before using the function again to avoid overheating.
Note
The espresso and hot water functions cannot be operated at the same time.
1. Ensure that the water tank is filled sufficiently (at least 250 ml, see: 'Preparation').
If required, press the power button to switch on the appliance and wait for the
appliance to get ready (power button is illuminated continuously).
2. Ensure that the steam wand is pointed at the drip tray and the steam button is
dark.
3. Turn the hot water/steam switch clockwise to start the hot water function for
shortly purging the steam wand with hot water. Turn the hot water/steam switch
back to the vertical position to stop the hot water function.
4. If you wish to pre-heat cups or the portafilter, hold your cup or portafilter below
the steam wand.
If you wish to fill a cup with hot water, then insert the steam wand in the cup, pre-
pared accordingly.
For preparing Long Black from an already brewed espresso, the steam wand should
be immersed into the espresso, to avoid splashing of hot espresso or water.
5. Turn the hot water/steam switch clockwise to start the hot water function. Wait
until the desired amount of hot water is given off. Turn the hot water/steam
switch back to the vertical position to stop the hot water function.
6. If required, wipe the steam wand using a soft moistened cloth.
7. By the handle, turn the steam wand to the drip tray and repeat step 3.

SPECIAL FEATURES FOR ADVANCED USERS

The factory settings are suitable for most cases. You can adapt the extraction volume
to your individual liking.
Note
Even after programming your own settings, the factory settings will be kept in
memory and can be restored (see: 'Resetting the Appliance to Factory Settings').
When problems occur that may originate in inappropriate settings, you should
reset the appliance to the factory settings. Many problems can be solved this way.

PROGRAMMING THE EXTRACTION VOLUME

You can pre-program the extraction volume within a wide range (see the following
table). Use this feature to pre-set the appliance according to your liking. If you prefer
normal coffee (Long Black), you can use this feature to ease the making of normal
coffee by avoiding the annoying addition of hot water. The appliance will brew
your coffee automatically using the selected amount of water. However, you should
adapt the grind size and amount of coffee powder to this procedure.
Brewing function Factory Setting
1 cup 40 ml
2 cups 125 ml
Note
When you have programmed a high extraction volume (e.g. for Long Black), but
occasionally wish to extract an espresso with the appropriate low extraction volu-
me, simply stop the extraction manually. This is done by pressing the previously
selected function button (1 cup or 2 cups; will be illuminated during the extraction)
as soon as the desired volume has been given off.
While programming the extraction volume, the appliance will skip the pre-infusion
function. The pre-infusion function is used for moistening the coffee powder before
starting the extraction. Thus, we recommend to program the extraction volume wit-
hout coffee powder.
Important: Via this procedure, the previously programmed extraction volume will
be overwritten. There is no way to revoke the process. Only the factory settings
can be restored. However, this will reset all functions and individual settings of the
appliance: both brewing functions, the water hardness setting, and the amount of
water given off since the last descaling process.
If the filling level within the water tank is not sufficient for programming the desired
volume, the setting will be invalid and the appliance will cancel the process. In this
