Before First Use
1. There may be a loud noise and a little shake when the machine pumps the water out the
first time. This is normal. The machine is releasing some air from the system. The noise will be
weak in the future using.
2. The filter could be a bit snug and difficult to remove from the portafilter when you need to
replace it. You can use a different filter to help pry it out.
NOTE
1. To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent, please prepare the coffee maker as follows:
2. Remove the plug at the bottom of the water reservoir.
3. Fill the water reservoir with ambient temperature water up to the “MAX” mark.
4. Place an empty cup/mug under the steam wand.
5. Connect the machine to a power source, press the ON/OFF button. The power indicator turns on and
the machine starts to preheat. The preheating takes about 2 minutes.
6. Once the preheating is finished, all buttons will light up.
7. Rotate the steam knob to position, the machine will start to make hot water.
8. Let the hot water come out of the steam wand for 8 seconds, then return the steam knob to the OFF
position. This process lets the water flow into the empty pump for the first time. DISCARD the used
water.
9. Place the brewing filter without any ground coffee into the portafilter.
Place the portafilter at a 45° angle to the left and slot it into the brew
head, then rotate it to the right to lock it in place. The portafilter should
be installed at a right angle to the machine or with a slight tilt to the right.
10. Place an empty cup/mug under the portafilter. Press the 1-Shot or 2-Shot button to brew. After the
brewing cycle, DISCARD the used water.

Making Espresso
Frothing Milk / Making Cappuccino or Latte
Using cold portafilter, filters, and cups can lower the extraction temperature, impacting the espresso
quality. It is advisable to run a brewing cycle without ground coffee to preheat them before extraction.
1. Remove the portafilter by turning it clockwise. Place the brew filter into the portafilter, making sure it
fits properly.
2. Use the measure spoon, add ground coffee to the brewing filter then tamp the ground coffee down
tightly with the spoon.
3. Make sure the steam knob is on OFF position.
4. Follow the Operating Instruction to set the temperature, and then press the 1-Shot or 2-Shot button
according to your favor.
Check out the Quick Start Guide (brochure) for more brewing advices.
Before starting, it is important to slightly move the steam wand outwards in order to insert the steam
nozzle underneath the milk pitcher and facilitate the movements required to froth the milk correctly.
1. Press the Steam/Temp. button. If the temperature is too low to produce steam, the Preheat icon will
be flashing and the machine will be preheating.
2. The Preheat icon will disappear once the preheating is done, leaving only the Steam icon displayed.
3. Rotate the steam knob in a counter-clockwise direction to remove any condensation from the wand
before turning it off.
4. Place the milk pitcher (half-filled with cold whole milk) beneath the steam wand. Ensure the steam
nozzle is positioned just under the surface of the milk, avoiding both too deep and too shallow
placements. Maintain a strong vortex by positioning the steam wand centrally but towards the edge of
the milk pitcher, at the correct angle.

under overheat protection. If you press the 1-Shot or 2-Shot button, the Overheat icon will light up.
please proceed as follows to cool down the machine:
1. Rotate the steam knob to position to make hot water.
2. Let hot water come out from the steam wand to cool down the boiler.
3. When the hot water stops, and the Overheat icon disappears, the boiler has been cooled down.
4. Return the knob to OFF. Now the machine is ready to use.
Overheat Protection

WARNING:
DO NOT wash any of the parts in the dishwasher.
To avoid burns, the filter must only be removed when the portafilter has cooled down sufficiently.
DO NOT clean with alcohol or solvent cleanser.
NEVER immerse the housing in water to clean.
Rotete the knob to OFF and allow the coffee machine to cool down sufficiently before cleaning.
Regularly clean the housing of the coffee machine with a damp sponge, then clean the water reservoir, drip tray
and drip plate and dry them.
Clean portafilter with cleanser or warm water.
Clean all attachments and dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the Appliance
If you find that the filter is blocked with a very fine powder while brewing coffee, immerse the filter in boiling water
for 10 minutes to unclog it, then rinse it with running water.
Cleaning the Portafilter and Filters
Immediately after frothing milk, turn steam knob on to purge out any residual milk from the wand.
Clean the wand with a damp cloth. If the hole of the steam nozzle becomes blocked, ensure the
steam knob is at OFF position. Turn off the machine and allow to cool. Use a pin to unblock the
hole.
Cleaning the Steam Wand
Regularly remove any coffee grounds from the brew head using a brush, and wash with hot water:
Insert the portafilter into it without using coffee grounds. Place a cup under the brew head and press the coffee
brewing button twice to fill the cup. Then remove the portafilter from the brew head and clean it with a dry cloth.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

NOTE
WARNING:
Do not try to disassemble the brew head. It will damage the brew head and lead to leakage.
Please also refer to the instructions on the descaling agent. Please use a household descaling agent, or
you can use citric acid instead of a commercial descaling agent - in this case use 100 parts of water to
3 parts of citric acid.
Descaling
To make sure your coffee machine operates efficiently, to clean the internal pipes, and to preserve the
flavor of your coffee, the coffee machine needs to be descaled, cleaned and maintained periodically.
Also, after 500 times of brew cycle, it is necessary to run a descaling cycle. Otherwise, the Descale
warning will appear at every time start-up.
Please proceed below steps to descaling the machine:
1. Fill the water with descaling agent (4 parts water to 1 part descaling agent) into the water reservoir
up to the “MAX” marking.
2. Place a cup/mug or other suitable receptacle on the drip tray and keep pressing
the 2-Shot button and Steam/Temp. button together for 5 seconds. The machine
will start the descaling cycle and run for 7 minutes then stop automatically.
3. Repeat the previous steps until the water with descaling agent is running out.
4. Next, repeat the process two more times using only CLEAN TAP WATER without any descaling agent.
