PREPARING THE MACHINE
We recommend to get used to all functions of your appliance before using it for the first time.
Do not plug it in. Insert the metal filter (g) in the filter holder (f) and position the filter holder.
Remove and replace the cap of the water tank (a) of the espresso machine. Activate the
ON/OFF switch (b) and the steam control knob (c). Try all the accessories of the coffee maker.
Wash the accessories thoroughly in hot soapy water, rinse and dry them carefully.
SPECIAL SAFEGUARDS CONCERNING STEAM UNDER PRESSURE IN THE ESPRESSO MAKER
Never open the cap of the water tank and never remove the filter holder during the
functioning of the appliance or as long as there is steam under pressure in the tank.
To check if the appliance is still under pressure, read the following instructions:
1. Make sure that the espresso switch (b) in on the OFF position.
2. Unplug the appliance from the power supply.
3. Hold a container with cold water under the steam pipe (d) and introduce the pipe in the
water.
4. Once the steam pipe (d) is immersed in water, put the steam control knob (c) in
position. Continue this until no more steam comes out of the pipe.
5. Put the steam control knob (c) in OFF position.
6. You can now remove the cap (a) of the tank and the filter holder (f).
7. If there is still water in the tank, remove the glass carafe (i) and the grid of the drip tray (j),
then turn the appliance upside down over a sink in order to empty the remaining water.
These safeguards are to be respected not only when the appliance is on but also during the 10-
15 minutes following the stopping of the appliance.

 Do not use metal sponges to clean the carafes, they could scratch and weaken the glass.
 Do not place the carafes on or near an electric or gas stove, in a oven or in a microwave
oven.
 Avoid shocks.
ESPRESSO MODE
The espresso is a strong coffee, with a characteristic taste, extremely rich in aroma. Therefore,
the water that arrives in the filter with a high temperature is pushed very fast through the
coffee mass by a strong pressure. It extracts the nectar from the grinding and draws the

Use preferably a special espresso coffee with suitable roasting and grinding.
Remember that the espresso needs a finer grinding than the filter coffee.
