Making espresso
Please Note: first use
Before using the appliance for the first time, rinse the
internal piping thoroughly, operating it as you would
to make coffee, until two tanks of water have emptied,
then proceed with making coffee.
Pre-heating the coffee machine
1. Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector dial
to the position (the relative indicator light
switches on) (fig. 4) and attach the filter-holder
with the empty filter to the machine (fig. 5). Make
sure that the filter holder is correctly inserted into
the relative seat (fig. 6).
2. Place a cup under the filter-holder. Use the same
cup in which the coffee is to be served so that it can
be pre-heated.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 7) then
immediately rotate the selector dial to the
position (fig. 8), allow the water to run until the OK
light switches off , then stop the water by rotating
the selector dial back to the position (fig. 4) and
empty the cup.
(It is normal for a small, harmless puff of steam to be
released when the filter-holder is removed).
Making and espresso using ground coffee
1. To prepare one coffee, fill the filter with a level
measuring spoon of ground coffee, about 7gr. (fig.
9). If you wish to prepare two cups of coffee, fill the
filter with two less-than-level measuring spoons
of ground coffee (about 7+7 gr). Fill the filter
with small amounts at a time to prevent the coffee
spilling out.
Attention:
For correct use, before filling the filter with ground coffee
always make sure there is no residual coffee in the filter
from the previous infusion.
2. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it
lightly using the coffee tamper (fig. 10).
Pressing the ground coffee is very important to
obtain a good espresso. If you press too hard, the
coffee can run out slowly. If you press too lightly, the
coffee can run out too fast.
3. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter-
holder and attach it to the machine: turning it fully
home to the right (fig. 5) to prevent water from
escaping.
4. Position the cup or cups under the filter-holder
spouts (fig. 11). It is recommended to warm the
cups before making the coffee by running them
under hot water.
5. Make sure that the OK light (fig. 7) is on (if it is off,
wait for it to switch on) and turn the selector dial to
the
position (fig. 8). Once the desired amount
of coffee has been obtained, interrupt delivery by
rotating the selector dial back to the position
(fig. 7). (It is recommended not to run the coffee for
more than 45 seconds).
6. Turn the filter holder from right to left to release the
filter-holder.
Scalding hazard!
To prevent sprays, do not release the filter-holder while
the machine is dispensing coffee.
7. To remove the used coffee, lock the filter using
the lever in the grip and let the coffee fall out by
knocking the over-turned filter-holder (fig. 12).
8. To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector dial to
the “ ” position.
