Instructions for Use – Making a Cappuccino Coffee
1. First, prepare an espresso coffee as the
detailed above in ‘Making an Espresso
Coffee’ above, making sure that the cup
is big enough accommodate the coffee
and the frothed milk.

in the ‘OFF’ position.
3. Press the Power Button (2) and the
Steam Button (5) . Both buttons will
illuminate.
4. Fill a jug with 100ml of milk for each
prepared Cappuccino, it is
recommended to use whole milk at
refrigerator temperature (not hot).
5. To maximise milk foam performance, rotate the Steam Control (6) for
approximately 10 seconds without putting it in the milk in the jug. This will clear
out any cold water in the system. Rotate the Steam Control (6) back to the ‘OFF’
position and conduct the next step.
6. Insert the Steam Nozzle (7) into the milk to about two centimetres deep, then
rotate the Steam Control (6) slowly anti-clockwise. Steam will come out from
the Steam Nozzle (7)
7. Frothed milk is made by moving the vessel round whilst the nozzle is submerged
in the milk.
WARNING! Never touch the Steam Nozzle (7) whilst steam is emitted to avoid
scalding.
Always turn the Steam Control (6) slowly to release the steam in a controlled
manner.
8. After frothing the milk, rotate the Steam Control (6) to the ‘OFF’ position. The
best temperature for frothed milk is 70°C.
9. Pour the frothed milk into the espresso coffee prepared earlier. The Cappuccino

Notes on Coffee
This Espresso Maker uses ground powdered coffee which is available from most
good supermarkets and coffee retailers.
Do not use instant coffee or similar with this Espresso Maker.
Distance to the surface of pressed coffee powder should be about 3mm away from
the edge of the filter cup (important indicator). Too high or too low will affect the
extraction pressure and effect of coffee. Reduce or increase the amount of coffee
powder accordingly:
Making Hot Water
The Espresso Maker can produce hot water rather than steam from the Steam
Nozzle (7):
1. Place a cup under the Steam Nozzle (7).
2. Press the Power Button (2), the power button will flash whilst the unit is
warming up.
3. Once the Power (2) and Brewing (4) buttons are illuminated, Rotate the Steam
Control (6) to ‘ON’ position and hot water will be dispensed.
4. Rotate the Steam Control (2) to ‘OFF’ position when the desired amount of hot
water has been dispensed.
5. Press the Power Button (2) to switch the machine off.
If the Steam Nozzle is blocked
1. Turn the Steam Control (6) to the ‘OFF’ position and allow the espresso maker
cool down for about half an hour, then poke the steam outlet several times with
a needle about 1 mm in diameter until it clears.
2. Finally, press the Steam Button (5) and turn the Steam Control (6) to the ‘ON’
position, to ensure the appliance can produce steam.
3. Press the Power Button (2) to switch the machine off.
Cleaning the Steam Nozzle after frothing
1. After frothing the milk, put an empty jug under the Steam Nozzle (7).
2. Press the Steam Button (5) and rotate the Steam Control (6) to ‘ON’ for steam
release for 20 seconds, then rotate the Steam Control (6) to ‘OFF’ and press the
Steam Button (5) off to clean out the Steam Nozzle (7).

Using the Warming Plate
Place the coffee cup(s) onto the Warming Plate (13) on top of the machine to
keep them warm prior to making coffee.
Automatic power ‘off’
The coffee maker will turn itself off automatically 25 minutes after pressing the
Power Button (2).
De-scaling Your Espresso Maker
Once tap water is heated, calcium and other mineral deposits attach themselves
to the inside of your espresso maker. Excessive limescale build up will damage the
machine, the Steam Nozzle is particularly vulnerable to blockage and should be
cleaned regularly. We recommend using bottled water or filtered water. If you
cannot do this and use water straight from the tap, then it is necessary to de-scale
the coffee machine regularly. Do not use vinegar but a commercially available
decalcification agent, carefully follow the quantities recommended in the
instructions of the agent.
How to De-Scale:
It is recommended that the espresso maker is descaled every 4 weeks - if you live
in a hard water area every 2 weeks is recommended. Better still, use
bottled/Distilled water.
Fill the Water Tank (9) with water and de-scaler to the MAX level.
Follow the steps as detailed in ‘Preheating Your Espresso Maker before First Use
above.
For the Brewing section:
1. Remove the Coffee Filter Holder (14) from the unit.
2. Place a container onto the Drip Tray Plate (11).
3. Press the Power Button (2) to turn the unit on, the Power indicator and Brewing
indicators will illuminate.
4. Press the Brewing Button (4), once water has been flowing for 20 seconds
(approximately 100ml), press the Brewing Button (4), then wait for 5 minutes
for the first de-scaling cycle.
5. Empty the container and replace onto the Drip Tray Plate (11).
6. Repeat the above steps 1 - 5 to conduct the second and third cycles for de-
scaling immediately, (it is not necessary to wait for 5 minutes on the second and
third cycle).
For the Steaming section:
1. Place a container under the Steam Nozzle (7).
2. Press the Power Button (2) to turn the unit on, the Power indicator and Brewing
indicators will illuminate.

Non-Rewireable Mains Plug
If your appliance is supplied with a non-rewireable plug fitted to the mains lead
and should the fuse need replacing, you must use an ASTA approved one
(conforming to BS 1362 of the same rating). If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician. Never use a plug with the fuse cover missing.
If you need to remove the plug – DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS – and then cut
it off the mains lead and immediately dispose of it safely. Never attempt to reuse
the plug or insert it into a socket outlet as there is a danger of electric shock.
