About the grinder
24
For a new user, we suggest to use
settings 7-10 initially, and then make
corresponding adjustments
according to the coffee extraction
situation and the pressure shown by
the pressure gauge.
Why is it slow to dispense ground
coffee at settings 1-3?
This is a normal phenomenon,
because the burr and body are
engaged , the ground coffee is very
fine and very slow to dispense, and it
is not suitable for brewing coffee.
Note that the grinder cannot grind
coffee beans for a long time at
settings1-3.
Why is it provided with settings 1-3?
Considering the service life of the
grinder, the burr and body will be
worn for long use, and the clearance
between them will increase. in this
case the settings1-3 may be
reserved for normal use. This is to
improve the service life of grinder.
About the pressure gauge
25
Fresh?
More than 15kg
- If the pressure gauge shows a pressure at
the range of 0-5bar, it means that the
pressure is not enough, and the following
measures can be taken.
(1) Check if the
coffee beans used
are fresh.
(2) You can increase the
force for tamping the
ground coffee properly.
(3) Select a finer grind
setting and try again.

Only grind roasted coffee beans in this appli-
ance. Do not process any other foods, such as
nuts, spices or liquids, to avoid damaging the appliance.
Please do not operate the appliance when it is empty, i.e. without
coffee beans.
We recommend always grinding coffee beans fresh, shortly prior
to use, not for stock. Coffee that is ground for stock loses its
flavour quickly.
The stated quantities and degrees of grinding can differ from your
personal taste, so we recommend that you test various settings, to
match your personal taste.
Degree of grinding pre-selection
The degree of grinding is selected by turning the degree of grinding
pre-selection . The degree of grinding is set on the basis of the
mark on the enclosure above the scale.
The details about the degree of grinding are guide values.
The coffee bean variety, the roast and personal preferences and the
type of preparation play a major role.
The degree of grinding of the coffee grounds has a significant
impact on the brewing time of the espresso in the brewing filter and
on the espresso flavour.
We recommend initially working with setting 8-10 and then adjusting
as required.
The degrees of grinding 1-3 are too fine the new grinding
mechanism at the beginning. They should only be used after a
certain appliance running time, as the components of the conical
grinding mechanism settle slightly after longer use.

Scalding hazard!
If you remove the filter holder while dispensing coffee, hot water
droplets will spray from the espresso machine. You may scald
yourself.
Always make sure that the brewing filters and and filter
holders are clean and do not contain any coffee residues.
Before brewing espresso for the first time, we basically recommend
rinsing through the brewing unit once together with the filter holder
and the respective filter ( or ) with hot water and
pre-heating the cup(s).
To do this, place the espresso cup(s) under the filter holder and
press the button for single espresso .
Carefully pour out the remaining residual water in the filter holder.
For each subsequent espresso, we recommend only pre-heating the
cups using the hot water/steam nozzle and pressing the HOT WATER
button .
1. Check whether there is sufficient water in the water tank .
2. For the first grinding process, fill coffee beans into the coffee
bean container and put the lid on.
3. Make sure that the steam volume regulator is switched to OFF.
4. For a single espresso, push the small brewing filter , and for a
double, push the large brewing filter into the filter holder.
To change the battery, it must be pulled out of the filter holder
with some force. For this, pull on the side of the filter on the
filter collar.

Only adjust the degree of grinding levels in the
direction of “finer”(15->1) during the grinding
process.
8. Turn the degree of grinding pre-selection to the required level.
We recommend initially working with setting 7-10 and then
adjusting as required.
The degrees of grinding 1-3 are too fine with the new
grinding mechanism at the beginning. They should only be
used after a certain appliance running time, as the components of
the conical grinding mechanism settle slightly after longer use.
9. Pick up the filter holder and push it straight into the filter
holder bracket .
The grinding process is activated by pressing the switch
with the filter holder, also see under Prepare grinding
mechanism.
With the large brewing filter, two single espressos can also be
prepared, if you place two cups next to one another under the filter
holder. The MAX marks in both of the brewing filters are intended to
assist in identifying the correct quantity of compressed, ground
coffee more easily.
5. Push the brewing filter ( or ) into the filter holder.
6. Press the ON/OFF button. The grinding mechanism standby
indicator lights up. The ON/OFF, HOT-WATER , single

10. Let the grinding process run until the required coffee quantity is
ground. Afterwards, pull the filter holder out of the bracket.
The grinding process can be interrupted at any time. For this,
pull the filter holder back slightly in the filter holder bracket.
For a single espresso, you need approx.13-15g, and for a double
espresso, approx. 20-22g of ground coffee.
11. Compress the ground coffee in the brewing filter using the
tamper .
Press forcefully (approx. 5-10KG). If the top stamp edge is flush with
the brewing filter and the stamp cannot be pushed in further, the
quantity of ground coffee is correct.
The MAX marks in both of the brewing filters are intended to assist in
identifying the correct quantity of compressed, ground coffee more
easily.
It is recommended to tamp the ground coffee
with a force of 5-10kg, and try not to tamp the
ground coffee beyond the MAX mark of the
filter, otherwise the portafilter will not be able to
be locked into the portafilter holder.

1. Swing the filter holder to the left and remove it from the filter
holder bracket .
Avoid releasing the filter holder with too much force.
Prepare yourself for the weight already before releasing it and
use slight upward pressure, so that the filter holder does not fall out
of the bayonet bracket.
2. Preferably knock out the ground coffee into organic waste.
Clean the filter holder and filter under running water. If you
don't want to prepare any more espresso.
Prepare cappuccino/froth milk
A cappuccino can be prepared from one espresso and
frothed hot milk in a 5-7 OZ cup. Basically, any milk can be
frothed (also soya and rice milk). However, with several varieties of
milk the result is better than with others.
Skimmed milk does not scald as easily as whole milk, but the fat
content must not be too low. Therefore, we recommend a milk with
a fat content of 1.5 to 3. 5 %/.
Well-chilled milk can be frothed better than less-chilled milk as
there is more time available for frothing. Recommended
temperature: approx. 45.℉
Do not froth milk a second time(risk of scalding).
Use
33
It is recommended to use a small, hygienic stainless steel jug.You
can also use your hand easily to estimate the temperature on the
outside. The frothed milk should not be hotter than approx. 140.℉
At this temperature, the container can still just be held in the hand.
Allow the frothed milk to stand for approx. 30 seconds before
putting the froth on the espresso. During this time, larger bubbles
will burst and milk, which is still liquid, sinks to the bottom.
The froth becomes even finer this way.
1. Prepare an espresso in a pre-heated cup.
2. Turn the steam volume controller to PRE-HEAT, the machine
heats up the steam, the lamp on the steam volume controller
flashes on/off.
3. Align the steam jet/hot water jet with the opening in the
draining rack .
4. Slowly turn the steam volume controller to STEAM to let
condensation drain away.
5. Then, turn the steam volume controller back to PRE-HEAT.
The control lamp flashes slowly on/off and lights up
continuously, once the correct temperature is reached.
6. Pour 5-7OZ of cold milk into a chilled frothing container.
Ideally, use a container made of stainless steel.
7. Pick up the frothing container containing the cold milk and guide
the steam nozzle/hot water nozzle onto the surface of the milk.
Hold the frothing container at a slight angle.
8. Slowly turn the steam volume controller to STEAM.
Use
34
9. You will hear hissing, pleas make sure that the milk whirls around.
The volume of the milk will increase over time. Move the container
gradually downwards, so that the nozzle is held on the surface. As
soon as the container heats up, hold the nozzle in the milk and just
let the milk foam roll. The milk foam will then become finer and
creamier.
10. Once you have created enough milk foam, or if the milk foam
becomes too hot, turn the steam volume controller to PRE-HEAT.
11. Pour the frothed milk slowly into the prepared espresso.
12. Hold the empty cup under the steam nozzle/hot water nozzle
and turn the steam volume controller slowly again to STEAM, so that
steam can escape for quick cleaning for several seconds.
13. Turn the steam volume controller to OFF and wipe off the steam
nozzle/hot water nozzle with a damp cloth.
After the steam nozzle has been turned to OFF, the machine
cools down independently and is then
immediately ready for preparing another espresso. The drip tray
and the draining rack must always be in position. Steam and hot
water flow into the drip tray. The discharge valve is not visible in the
rear section above the drip tray.
If you want to repeat the steaming function, it is recommended to
leave the steam volume controller on PRE-HEAT!

With the constant use of hard water, limescale deposit will
accumulate at an early stage. These residues must be
removed on a regular basis, as the limescale impairs the flavour of
many internal functional components, the water flow, the brewing
temperature and the performance of the espresso machine.
The hardness of the mains water can be tested with the test strip
included in the scope of supply or it can be requested from the
local water management authority.
Proceed as follows when using the test strip: Hold the test strip
under the flowing water of your rap for approx. 1 second. Then, let
test strip dry for 15 seconds. Afterwards, you can check the colour
on the test strip against the back of the test strip packet and find
out whether your water is soft, hard or very hard.
You should descale your machine at the following intervals.
- soft: no later than after approx. 6 months
- hard: no later than after approx.3 months
- very hard: monthly
After 1000 cycles, in which the machine has no been descaled, the
buttons will flash red twice with a break in between.
The machine must than be descaled. Use commercially available
descaler for this on the basis of citric acid or the descaling granules
contained in the scope of delivery (citric acid). Please note all of the
instructions on the descaler.

If four indicators flash red twice like
racing horse lamp when the machine
is turned on, it means that the
machine has been running for 1000
working cycles, the machine is
reminding user of descaling. This
reminder does not affect normal work,
and will be cancelled only after a
descaling cycle is completed,
As a descaling cycle it needs to
operate for more than 5 minutes
When the machine has four
indicators flashing red, it means that
the water tank is short of water, and
water needs to be added to activate
the water level sensor and then the
water shortage alarm is cancelled
automatically.
