You can recognise an espresso by its

characteristic aroma and its typical crema. But

this requires high pressure and an excellent

fresh espresso coffee which has been well

roasted and correctly ground.

If you cannot buy espresso ground coffee, use

a coffee grinder to grind the beans.

So as to obtain a sufficient crema with a good

colour, it is normal that the flow rate of the

coffee is slower than with a filter coffee

machine.

To guarantee complete success for your

espresso, you must also use freshly-drawn

water (so that it has not had time to stagnate

in the air), without any chlorine odour and at

a fairly cold temperature.

The coffee must not be ground too fine. It

must be slightly granulated. If it is too fine,

you risk blocking the grid of the brewing

head and the filter. Only use Espresso ground

coffee. Do not use any other type of coffee

such as filter, cafetiere, instant etc.

Before first using your machine

Before using your appliance for the first time,

clean the water heating system, without

coffee in the filter holder, filling the water

tanks once or twice, as follows:

• Open the lid and lift out the water tank

using the handle (1). Fill with water (2).

• Replace the tank, positioning it firmly to

ensure that water can enter, and close the

lid (3).

• Press the Start/Stop switch (4) whereby the

blue operating control lamp blinks. Two

filters are kept in the tank lid.

• Place one of the filters in the filter holder

(5). Then put the filter holder on the

appliance’s brewing head.

• To ensure that the filter holder is in the

correct position, turn the handle so it points

to the left (6), place the filter holder flat

against the brewing head, then turn the

handle towards the right (7) as far as it can

go (may not be at right-angles).

• Place a container, as large as possible,

beneath the filter holder (8).

• As soon as the blue operating control lamp

glows continuously,

The appliance is ready to operate.

• Pressing the double coffee button

(10)

will now cause water to run through the

water circuit.

Repeat this process five times.

As an optional extra, there is a filter

cartridge available (N° art. F088 not

delivered with the appliance).

Using the various functions of

your espresso machine

1. MAKING AN ESPRESSO

.WITH ESPRESSO GROUND COFFEE

For best results, we recommend that you first

pre-heat the accessories (filter holder, filter

and cups) without putting in ground

coffee. To do this :

• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the

appliance (4).

• Put the filter holder in place (6) (7), and

place one or two cups underneath.

• As soon as the control lamp on the coffee

buttons glows continuously, the appliance is

ready to operate.

• Press the coffee keys

(9) (10).

• The cups will be filled with hot water then

empty them.

Once the appliance is hot, the espresso cups

can then be pre-heated on the cup warming

plate.

. Preparing an espresso :

• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and start the

appliance (4).

• Put the filter for one or two cups into the

filter holder (5).

• Put one or two measures of ground coffee

into the filter with the measuring spoon and

tamp down using the measuring spoon (11)

(12).

• Remove any ground coffee which is lying

around the filter (13).

• Replace the filter holder (6) (7).
