How to prepare espresso coffee

First use

Upon first use, rinse the internal ducts of the device, by oper-
ating the device like one would to make coffee until at least 
one water tank has been emptied; then, proceed with making 
coffee.

In order to obtain an espresso coffee at the right temperature, 
it is advised to pre-heat the coffee machine in the following 
manner:
1.  Turn the selector dial to the

 position (fig. 4) and at-

tach the empty filter-holder to the machine (fig. 5).

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. 6) and then turn the 

coffee selector dial straight away (fig. 7). Allow the water 
to run until the ok light switches off and then stop the 
water by turning the selector dial back to the
