Operation Manual

22
As soon as the appliance reaches the right
temperature, the orange temperature control
light switches off.
• Turn the control button (O) to espresso
mode (9). Take the pre-brewing into
account.
• When the desired quantity of espresso has
been made, turn the button (O) to the
central position (10).
• Remove the filter holder and the filter from
the machine and take out the coffee
grounds (14).
The filter can be refilled to make more
espressos.
Caution: if the water container is empty
and the pump is running, you will hear a
very distinct noise, which is louder than
the normal operating sound. If this
happens, press the start/stop switch (4).
Check the water container and refill as
needed.
Never let the machine run when the
water container is empty as this can
damage the pump.

USING THE SPECIAL “ E.S.E. “ FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style “espresso ristreto” (squeezed).
The amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water
should take 20 seconds to run through.
"ESE", which stands for "Easy Serving
Espresso", is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter papers
making it ready for use. This system makes it
easy for you to prepare your espresso because
you avoid the measurement and tamping
down operations and it also makes it easier
for you to clean the appliance.
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the E.S.E. servings be used for making
more then one single serving or a “long
espresso”.
We recommend that you take care when
handling and storing the E.S.E. pre-portioned
pods so that they do not become deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you pre-
heat the accessories (filter holder, filter basket
and cups) without any coffee. To do this, see
section entitled “Espresso Making” above.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and turn on the
machine (4).
Positioning the E.S.E. pod (18).
Tear excess paper from pod at perforated
edge. Place the E.S.E. pod with the RED
MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down) in the E.S.E. filter holder fitted
with its own filter.
•Take care to put all the paper inside the
filter or you may get some drips.
Placing the E.S.E. pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
Locking the handle tightly and properly will
also help avoid leakage from the filter holder
and ensure a better brewing cycle.
Place the filter holder inside the brewing head
and firmly turn the handle as far right as
possible (6) (7) (8).
As soon as the appliance reaches the right
temperature, the orange temperature control
light switches off.
• Turn the control button (O) to espresso
mode (9). Take the pre-brewing into
account.
• When the desired quantity of espresso has
been made (35 ml), turn the control button
(O) to the central position (10).
• Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used coffee pod.
2. STEAM FUNCTION
The thumping noise which occurs while steam
is being produced comes from the intermit-
tent regulation of the pump and has no effect
on the proper working of the machine.
If you wish to make an espresso
immediately after using the steam
function, the appliance must first be allowed
to cool down in order to achieve the correct
temperature for preparing an espresso.
• When you turn the selector to the O setting,
the appliance automatically cools down,
launching 3 pumping cycles. The cold
water pumped in this way cools down the
heating system. During the pumping cycles,
the excess steam contained in the heating
system is released along with hot water into
the drip tray. The release of steam and
the accompanying noise are required for
the appliance to cool down.
Caution: during and after use, the metal
parts of the nozzle (E) and the cappuccino
accessory (F) are very hot.
