BEFORE THE FIRST USE
When you use your appliance for the first time we recommend in order to wash the inner side
of the appliance circuit, you have to operate it three times as described in the section "HOW
TO PREPARE AN ESPRESSO" (WITHOUT COFFEE IN THE FILTER HOLDER).
HOW TO PREPARE AN ESPRESSO
1. Insert the plug in the power supply. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch (b) is on the OFF
position.
2. Insert the filter (g) into the filter holder (f) (Fig.1). On the filters there are two marks (2 and 4
cups). Fill with ground espresso coffee until the desired level (Fig. 2).
3. Gently tamp the coffee into coffee filter and remove the excess coffee from the edge of
filter holder (f). This will ensure the good positioning of the filter holder in its support (e).
filter (g).
4. Caution: Check that the filter locking flap is as far as possible from the filter. Position the
filter holder (f) in the support of the filter holder (f). Turn firmly to the right until it blocks (Fig.
3). The filter holder (f) should be the most on the right of the closing zone as possible. If the
filter holder (f) does not fit in the closing zone and at least in the middle of the appliance,
do not operate your appliance, remove the filter holder (f) and position it again as
described here above until the filter holder is in the closing zone. This will avoid that the
filter holder (f) comes out of its housing as the pressure rises when the coffee is flowing
through the filter.
5. Unscrew the cap of the tank (a) anticlockwise (Fig. 4).
6. Fill the carafe (i) with cold tap water until the desired level (2 or 4 cups) and pour in the
Espresso tank (Fig. 5).
Measure indication
On the carafe they are 3 marks:
Mark 2
Mark 4
Mark (steam)
The mark 2 corresponds to 2 espresso cups.
The mark 4 corresponds to 4 espresso cups.
The mark corresponds to 2 espresso cups + the necessary water quantity to produce
steam for the preparation of cappuccino.
Do not overfill the equivalent of 5 cups, which is the maximum level represented by the
metal strip around the carafe.
Attention: Do not fill the espresso tank when the switch (b) is in the ON position. Your
appliance must be on when you fill the tank.
7. Place the cap of the tank (a) on the appliance and turn it clockwise until it locks
completely (Fig. 6).
8. Then place the lid on the carafe (i) in such a way that the opening of the carafe lid faces
the spout of the filter holder (f) (Fig. 7).
