SETUP BEFORE USE

Drip tray

• The drip tray with agrille catches drops of brewed coffee when the

portafilter is removed, hot water used to froth milk, and any spilled

milk during frothing. Therefore, make sure that both parts are correctly

installed andinserted into the appliance.

• We recommend emptying the appliance andwashing the drip tray

after each use. When washing, follow the instructions in the "Cleaning

and Maintenance" section.

Note:

The drip tray is equipped with a float to indicate when it is

full. When the liquid level in the drip tray pushes it up, the

drip tray must be emptied.

Filling the water tank

Open the lid of the water tank. Grasp the tank by the handle and lift it

upwards. Fill it with cold potable water up to the maximum mark and

insert it back. Then close the lid of the water tank. The water tank must be

properly seated in place for water to be pumped into the internal system.

Note:

The water you pour into the water tank should ideally be

at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Too cold water

can negatively affect the final taste of the coffee beverage.

Do not leave the remaining water in the water tank for

more than one day. For brewing quality fresh coffee, it is

necessary to use fresh water. Otherwise, the final taste of

the coffee drink may be adversely affected.

Warning:

The maximum capacity of the water tank is 1.8 l. Do

not overfill it. Never fill the water tank with warm, hot

or sparkling water or liquids such as milk. Do not fill

the water tank when it is inserted in the appliance.

You risk splashing the appliance or overfilling the

water tank.

Adding coffee beans to the hopper

• Remove the hopper lid and pour fresh coffee beans into the hopper.

Put the lid back on.

• The hopper is not suitable forstoring coffee beans for along period

of time. If you do not plan to use the coffee machine for along time,

remove the hopper andpour the unused coffee beans into asuitable

container. Store coffee beans in an airtight container in acool and

dry place.

2025, .

Note:

Themaximum capacity of the hopper is 150 g of coffee

beans. Do not overfill it. Never fill the hopper with ground or

instant coffee, caramelised or otherwise specially treated

coffee beans, cocoa beans or other items that may damage

the appliance.

Adjusting the grind size

• The grind size can only be set by turning the grind size dial (A4)

clockwise andanticlockwise.

• Adjust the grind size while the grinder is in operation.

• Turn the dial (A4) towards FINE  to set afiner grind; turn the dial (A4)

towards  COARSE to set acoarser grind.

• For Espresso coffee, we recommend setting the grind size to 5. Adjust

the grind size as needed. Always adjust the size one step at atime and

then refine according to the resulting coffee.

• If the coffee flows out very slowly, it means that the beans are ground

too finely and acoarser grind should be set. If the coffee flows out too

quickly, it means that the beans are ground too coarsely and afiner

grind should be set.

Warning:

If you feel resistance when turning the grind size

dial, you have reached the size limits (1–3 or

18–20). Do not use brute force to rotate the dial any

further. Otherwise, you risk damaging the grind size

adjustment mechanism.

Inserting and removing the filter

• Insert the selected stainless steel filter into the portafilter so that the

protrusion on the filter fits into the hole in the portafilter (Figure C1).

Rotate the filter left or right (Figure C2).

• To remove the filter from theportafilter, rotate the filter in the portafilter

so that the protrusion on the filter is aligned with the hole in the

portafilter. Then remove it from theportafilter.

Warning:

Before removing the filter from theportafilter, make

sure that both the filter and theportafilter have cooled

down. Do not remove the filter from the portafilter

immediately after making coffee. They are very hot

andthere is arisk of injury.

Inserting the portafilter into the holder

Insert the portafilter into the holder so that it is perpendicular to the coffee

machine – see Figure D. The protruding parts at the edge of the portafilter

will fit into the holder and secure it firmly in place.

Grinding coffee

• Coffee can be ground immediately after turning on the coffee

machine; there is no need to wait for it to heat up.

• Press the Grind button to start grinding the coffee. The Grind button

will flash.

• The grinding process takes around 15 seconds. After that, the grinder

stops automatically.

• If you need to adjust the grinding time, follow the instructions inthe

“User Settings / Adjusting the grinding time” section further in

themanual.

• It is possible to install adispenser ring – see picture E, which will

prevent the ground coffee from spilling out of the filter.

Note:

The grinder will run continuously for amaximum of

3 minutes. After 3 minutes of running continuously, the

Grind button will flash quickly and the grinder cannot be

started again for another 6minutes. This is asafety feature

to protect the grinder from damage caused by overheating.

Allow the grinder to cool and then turn it back on.

Note:

If you fill the filter with ascoop of pre-ground coffee, keep

in mind that one levelled scoop is equivalent to roughly 7 g

of ground coffee. For one cup of coffee, fill the filter with one

level measuring scoop of ground coffee. The double cup

filter is filled with twice the amount of coffee.

Tamping the coffee (Figure F)

Spread the coffee inthe filter evenly andtamp it with the flat end of the

scoop. After tamping, the coffee inthe filter should be aligned with the

MAX line marked on the inner wall of the filter.

Clean the edges of the filter thoroughly of any ground coffee residue.

Note:

Use only ground coffee designed for use in Espresso

machines. Do not use ground coffee intended for use in

French presses, drip coffee makers, etc.

Installing and removing the portafilter

• Place the portafilter underneath the brew head so that the handle

points to the left and aligns with the open lock icon on the brew head

– see Figure G1. To attach the portafilter to the brew head, turn the

handle to the right into the closed lock position – see Figure G2.

• To remove the portafilter from the brew head, rotate the handle

counterclockwise until it aligns with the open lock icon. Remove

it from the brew head and move it above arubbish bin. Rotate the

portafilter so that the filter with the used coffee points downwards. Use

acoffee spoon to remove the coffee grounds. Avoid contact with the

surface of the filter or portafilter as they may still be hot. Before taking

the filter out of theportafilter, cool it under cold running water. Then

rinse the filter and the portafilter under clean running water and dry

them thoroughly.

Warming the cups

Once you turn on the coffee machine, the cup warming plate will

automatically heat up. Place empty coffee cups upside down on to

surface and let them warm up.

they are very hot and can cause burns.

Note:

The sound of the pump can be heard when brewing coffee

or frothing milk. This is normal.

Note:

Only one function of the coffee machine can be used at

atime – i.e. make coffee, froth milk, dispense hot water

or brew cold coffee. It is not possible to use two or more

functions at the same time.

Preparing Espresso

• The coffee machine is supplied with 2 stainless steel filters: asingle

cup filter and adouble cup filter.

• The single cup filter is suitable for making 1 Espresso, regular

Cappuccino or Latte macchiato.

• The double cup filter is suitable for making 2 cups of Espresso,

lungo, one large cup of strong coffee or intense/strong Espresso for

Cappuccino or Latte.

1. Insert the single cup or double cup filter in the portafilter, tamp the

Turning off the coffee machine

• If you are not going to be using the coffee machine, turn the main

power switch to the 0 (off) position. The coffee machine will shut

down. Unplug the power cord from the power socket.

Automatic shut-off

• If you do not use the coffee machine for more than 25 minutes, it will

automatically switch itself off.

Pressing any button will turn it on again andstart it heating up.

Coffee brewing tips

• We recommend using fresh roasted andground coffee beans. Coffee

beans should be ground to the level suitable for Espresso machines.

Grind the coffee beans just before brewing coffee.

• If the ground coffee is too fine, water will not flow through the coffee

even under high pressure. Such finely ground coffee resembles

powder and feels like salt when rubbed between the fingers.

• If the ground coffee is too coarse, water flows through the coffee too

quickly and the full flavour is not extracted. Make sure to use aquality

grinder for consistent grind size.

• Store coffee beans / ground coffee in an air-tight container in acool

anddark place. Store them for amaximum of 4 weeks.

• Do not store coffee beans / ground coffee in thefridge or freezer.

Warning:

Take extra care as the coffee grounds, filter and

portafilter are very hot after use. There is arisk of

burns.

3. Rinse the filter and portafilter under warm running water and wipe

them dry with aclean cloth.

4. Wipe the bottom of the brew head (including the seal) with adamp

cloth to remove any ground coffee residues.

5. Insert the portafilter (without the filter) into the brew head.

6. Turn on the coffee machine andlet it heat up. Place acup/bowl

under the portafilter.

7. Press the Espresso button andlet the coffee machine finish brewing.

This will clean the brew head andremove any ground coffee

residues.

8. Remove andrinse the portafilter.

Note:

Place the portafilter and filters on the heating plate so that

they are preheated and ready for the next use.

Caution:

Do not wash the portafilter or filters in thedishwasher.

There is a risk of them being damaged.

Cleaning the drip tray

• The drip tray needs to be emptied and washed after each use of the

appliance.

• First, remove the grille from the tray and then pour out the water.

Wash the tray and grille in warm water with aneutral dishwashing

detergent. Rinse both parts under running water, dry them, and place

them back in their positions.

Cleaning the water tank

• Open the lid of the water tank. Grasp the tank by the handle and lift

it upwards.

• Pour out the remaining water.

• Rinse it with clean water and asmall amount of neutral dishwashing

detergent. Then thoroughly rinse with clean water, dry, and place it

back into the coffee machine.

• Wash the water tank lid in warm water with alittle kitchen detergent.

Rinse and wipe dry.

Cleaning the outer casing

Wipe the outer surface of the appliance with aslightly damp cloth and

dry it.

Cleaning the steam wand

• The steam wand should be cleaned after each use to prevent deposits

and unwanted odours from dried milk residues.

• After each use: Point the steam wand over the grille of the drip tray

andstart the hot water dispenser for afew seconds. This will remove

most of the milk residue in the nozzle. Wipe the steam wand with

aslightly damp cloth.

• Every 2 to 3 months: Unscrew the end of the steam wand. Immerse

it in atub of warm water containing alittle descaling agent. Leave it

overnight. Then pour out the water and clean the end of the steam

wand properly. Ifnecessary, use athin sharp object (such as apin or

aneedle). Rinse under warm running water. Screw back on andtest to

make sure that the steam wand is not blocked.

• Blocked nozzles: If the nozzle in the steam wand becomes blocked

with milk residue, clear it using athin sharp object (such as apin

or aneedle). Then run hot water through the steam wand for about

40seconds.

Cleaning the coffee bean hopper

• Remove the lid and move any beans into an airtight container.

• Wipe the hopper and the lid with asoft sponge slightly moistened in

warm water. Wipe dry with aclean cloth.

Cleaning andemptying the grinder

1. Empty the coffee bean hopper.

2. Insert the portafilter and filter into the holder.

3. Start the grinder by pressing the Grind button. Leave the grinder to

complete the grinding process. Repeat the grinding process until the

grinder is empty.

4. Remove the portafilter fromthe holder.

5. If necessary, use acleaning brush toclean andremove any ground

coffee residue at the ground coffee dispensing outlet.

We recommend emptying the grinder in this way whenever you put fresh

coffee beans into the hopper.

DESCALING

• Over time, minerals from the water can build up inside the

machine’ssystem. This is a natural process. Therefore, regular

descaling is necessary. Mineral deposits can spoil the taste of your

coffee.

• We recommend using descaling agents for coffee machines, which

are commonly available in shops.

• The machine should be descaled when the Espresso Heating, Cold

Espresso, Espresso andSteam buttons flash 5 times in arow, which is

after making approximately 500 cups of coffee. If you do not descale

the coffee machine, the warning will show every time it is switched on.

• Prepare adescaling solution ofwater anddescaling agent following

the dilution/preparation instructions given on the packaging/enclosed

leaflet.

Descaling the internal system

1. Make sure that the power cord plug is disconnected from the mains

socket.

2. Fill the water tank with adescaling solution of water anddescaling

agent following the instructions on the packaging / enclosed leaflet.

3. Insert afilter into the portafilter (without coffee) and insert the

portafilter into the brew head.

4. Place abowl (with acapacity of at least 450—500 ml) under the

portafilter.

5. Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on the coffee

machine. Let it preheat.

6. When the coffee machine has heated up, point the steam wand into

the bowl andstart the hot water dispenser. Let the hot water run until

it stops automatically. Repeat afew more times. Turn the steam/hot

water dispenser control (A12) to the OFF position.

7. Pour the water out of the bowl andplace the empty bowl under the

portafilter.

8. Press the Espresso button andlet the water flow through the

portafilter. Wait until it stops andthen repeat the process afew more

times until the water tank is empty.

9. Remove the water tank, rinse it out andfill it with clean water. Insert it

back into the coffee machine.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 8 until the water tank is empty.

11. Remove and clean the water tank again. Remove the portafilter

andfilter andclean them following the process described above.

12. To end the descaling process andstart anew countdown, press

andhold the Espresso Heating andCold Espresso buttons for

3seconds.

Note:

If the coffee machine is heavily clogged with mineral

deposits, repeat the descaling process several times in

arow.

Note:

When descaling is complete, clean the water tank,

portafilter andfilter according to the instructions inthis

user'smanual.
