Operating Your Espresso / Cappuccino Machine
Before Using Your Espresso Machine
Wash the porta filter and the filter cups in mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Filling the Water Tank
1. Ensure the power switch is in the “0” position and the selector control is set to the “Stand-by” position.
2. Do not plug the unit into the mains socket.
3. Remove the water tank from the unit, lift up and open the water tank lid. Fill with cold water to the
maximum mark and close the water tank lid. Refit the water tank to the unit, pressing down firmly so
that the water valve opens.
• The water tank should be filled with fresh cold water before use.
• Check water level before use and replace the water daily.
• Do not use mineral water.
• Running the machine without water will damage the unit.
Do not turn on the unit without attaching the porta filter with filter cup.
Pre-warming Cups
For optimum coffee temperature, pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate.
Preparing the Coee
1. Place the filter cup into the porta filter then fill with espresso
coffee (use the shallow filter cup for 1 cup and the deep filter
cup for 2 cups).
2. Use 1 measure of espresso coffee for the shallow filter cup and
2 measures for the deep filter cup. It is important to use the
correct amount of coffee as the filter perforations have been
constructed for optimal pressure build up in the machine.
Pre-heating the Machine
We recommended that you carry out a complete brewing operation
without any coffee grinds (with water only) before making your first
coffee to ensure that the machine has been preheated.
1. Make sure the selector control is in the “Stand-by” position.
2. Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. Switch the power
switch to the “I” position. The power indicator will illuminate.
3. Place the porta filter underneath the infusion head so that the
handle is positioned to the left of centre (“Unlock
“ position).
Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and rotate
anti-clockwise unit it locks in place (“Lock
“ position).
4. As soon as the Ready Indicator illuminates, set the selector
control to the Coffee “
” position and run a small amount of
water through the brewing head to your cup for a while. Then
turn the selector control back to the “Stand-by” position.

3. Distribute the coffee evenly and press it lightly with the
pressing plate (if there is too much coffee, the flow of water
can become blocked).
The unit remains ready for brewing and maintains a
constant heating temperature as long as the Power
switch is left in the ‘On’ position. If the temperature
drops, the Ready indicator will go off. Please turn
the selector control to the “Stand-by” position before
brewing another coffee. The heater will automatically
heat up to the correct brewing temperature and the
ready indicator will illuminate.
If you are experiencing resistance in fitting in the porta
filter, your may use a damp cloth to remove any old
espresso grounds at the infusion head.
Brewing Coee
1. Make sure the selector control is in the “Stand-by” position.
2. When the ready indicator illuminates, the unit is heated up
and ready.
3. Make sure the drip tray is in place.
4. Place one or two pre-heated cups beneath the porta filter.
5. Turn the selector control to the Coffee “
” position.
6. After a few seconds, aromatic coffee will begin to run
through.
7. When sufficient coffee has flowed into the cups, set the
selector control to the “Stand-by” position. This will stop the
flow of coffee.
8. If you do not need to use the steam function, set the power
switch to the “0” position, unplug the mains cable and allow
the machine to cool down.
9. Remove the porta filter from the infusion head and using
the holding clip to secure the filter in the porta filter, turn
the porta filter upside down to empty the used coffee (used
coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste
and not down the sink which may block drains). Rinse the
filter and porta filter with water and allow to dry.
4. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter to ensure a
proper fit under the brew head.
PUSH
5. Place the porta filter underneath the infusion head so that
the handle is positioned to the left of centre (“Unlock
“
position). Lift the filter holder until it contacts the brew head
and rotate anti-clockwise until it locks in place (“Lock
“
position).

The quality of the coffee and crema produced will be dependent on the type of pod used.
Only use the shallow filter cup (1 cup filter) when using the espresso pods.
• Always ensure that the frothing attachment has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand.
• For best results use fresh cold milk (light milk will froth easier).
• Always clean the steam wand and froth enhancer after every use (refer to care and cleaning).
• If brewing more coffee straight after using the steam function, set the selector control to the
Coffee “
” position to run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few
seconds without the filter holder in place. This will prepare the system for optimal brewing
temperature.
Preparing Espresso Pods
The unit can be used with most leading brands of espresso pods. To prepare the pod for brewing, place
the pod in the shallow filter cup and ensure that all of the pod’s surface area is fitted inside the filter. If the
edges of the pod overflow the filter, you will need to trim them off until the pod is contained completely
within the filter. Lock the filter holder in place and brew the coffee as per the instructions.
How to Froth Milk for a Cappuccino or Latte
The unit comes complete with a frothing attachment for easier frothing of milk. The first step in making a
cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso (see “Brewing Coffee”). Then:
1. Fill the stainless steel frothing jug (not included) with 1⁄3 full with cold milk.
2. Turn the selector control to the Steam “
” position and wait until no water is dripping from the steam
wand then turn back to the “Stand-by” position.
The metal parts of the filter holder might still be very hot. Make sure
you use the pressing plate when discarding the coffee grounds.
Be careful of the steam as it may scald.
Liquid should not be allowed to run over the top of the froth enhancer, otherwise it will not
function. To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not lift the steam wand above the surface of the
milk while frothing. Ensure the selector control is in the “Stand-by“ position before removing
the frothing jug.
3. As soon as the green ready Indicator illuminates, plunge the steam wand into the jug of milk so that
the main head of the froth enhancer is immersed in the milk.
4. Set the selector control to the Steam “
” position.
5. Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion around the froth enhancer.
6. When the milk has begun to increase in volume, immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to
further heat the milk.
7. The amount of froth desired may vary by individual. The stainless steel frothing jug will gradually
become hot; be sure to hold the handle or use a towel to avoid getting burnt. Once the froth is to
your liking, switch the selector control to the “Stand-by” position to stop the steaming function before
removing the jug.
8. Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in
the following ratios:
Cappuccino
1⁄3 espresso, 1⁄3 steamed milk, 1⁄3 frothed milk
Latte
1⁄3 espresso topped with steamed milk and approximately 4”
(10cm) of frothed milk (traditionally served in a glass)

Do not place any of the components in a dishwasher (only the filter cups are dishwasher safe).
Do not immerse any part of the unit in water or any other liquid.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning, ensure the selector control is in the “Stand-by” position. Unplug the appliance from the
mains power socket and allow the unit to completely cool down.
Cleaning the Steam Wand and Froth Enhancer
1. The steam wand and froth enhancer should always be cleaned
after frothing milk.
2. Remove the froth enhancer and rinse under warm tap water.
3. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
4. If the steam wand becomes blocked, wait for the machine to
cool before using a needle or paperclip to unblock the opening.
Reattach the froth enhancer.
Cleaning the Housing / Cup Warming Tray
The outer housing and cup warming tray can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive
agents or cloths which can scratch the surfaces).
Cleaning the Filters, Filter Holder and Brewing Head
1. Immediately after use, remove the used coffee grounds and rinse the filters and porta filter under
running water. Should the fine holes in the filters become blocked, then a normal dishwashing brush
should be used (do not use a brush with metal bristles).
2. The infusion head should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any old espresso grounds.
3. It is advisable to periodically run water through the unit with the filter in place but without any coffee
to clean out any old coffee grounds.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
1. The drip tray should be removed, emptied and cleaned at regular intervals.
2. Remove the grid from the drip tray, wash with water and non-abrasive washing liquid before rinsing
and drying.
Decalcifying
After regular use, hard water can cause limestone build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, power of the machine, and affecting the quality of the coffee.
We advise decalcifying the machine on a regular basis (every 2-3 months) using a liquid decalcifying agent.
Follow the instructions provided with your liquid decalcifying agent.

Hints and Tips
Tips on Making the Perfect Espresso
Don’t just rely on your coffee maker to do all the work. Making a good cup of coffee is an art.
Water Flow
If you’re making an espresso, make sure the water flows through the coffee filter at the correct rate. If it’s
too slow, the coffee will be over-extracted - too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top. If
it flows too quickly, the coffee will be underextracted - the proper flavour won’t have had time to develop.
You can adjust the water flow by tamping (pressing down) the coffee firmly or by changing the grind of
the coffee.
The Coee
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its flavour for 1 week, provided it is stored in an air tight container, in a
cool, dark area. Whole coffee beans are recommended and should be ground just before use. Coffee beans
stored in an airtight container will keep for up to 1 month before they begin to lose their flavour. Do not
store them in a refrigerator freezer.
The Grind
1. If using pre-ground coffee, ensure you purchase an espresso grind for espresso/cappuccino machines.
2. If grinding your own beans the coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine. It can affect the taste and
the rate the water flows through it.
3. If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure (this grind looks
like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers).
4. If the grind is too coarse, the water flows through the coffee too fast, preventing a full flavoured
extraction.
