Valve selector control
The valve selector control has three
settings:
Dispensing steam/hot water via the
steam nozzle
Pump switched off / neutral position
Pump switched on: dispensing
espresso via the boiler outlet
As soon as the valve selector control is
turned from its neutral position, either the
steam nozzle or boiler outlet will open, and
steam or hot water will be emitted.
Before using for the first time
-
Before the appliance is used for the first
time, all detachable parts must be
thoroughly cleaned as described in the
section General Care and Cleaning.
Refit the drip tray and drainer to the
appliance afterwards.
-
Clean the system by flushing with hot
water as follows:
- Fill the container with water.
- Insert the filter holder with the filter
sieve, but without putting any ground
coffee in.
- Place a container, e.g. a suitably sized
cup, underneath the outlet openings.
- Insert the plug into a wall outlet.
- Set the hot-water/steam selector to
the hot-water position (button
released).
- Use the On/Off switch to turn the
appliance on, and activate the valve
selector control (position ). Hot
water is emitted from the outlets.
- Leave the pump running until about
half the water in the water container
has passed through. Then switch off
the pump by turning the valve
selector control to its neutral position.
- Empty the cup and place it under the
steam nozzle.
- Turn the valve selector control to
position . Water is now emitted
through the steam nozzle.
- Let the water pass through until the
amount left in the container has
reached the ‘Min’ mark. Switch off
the pump by turning the valve
selector control to its neutral position.
-
This procedure should also be followed
if the appliance has not been used for an
extended period of time.
Operation
General
Espresso is a strong coffee with its typical
froth, the ‘crema’, made from dark-roasted
coffee beans. Especially finely ground
coffee is necessary to make espresso.
Hot water is forced through the coffee
under high pressure, and the espresso is
delivered straight into the typical small
espresso cups with a content of 30-50 ml.
The steam function requires a significantly
higher operating temperature than making
espresso.
-
Filling with water:
● Fill only with fresh water on a daily
basis; make sure that the water
container is cleaned at regular
intervals. Do not switch the appliance
on unless the water container is filled.
- Lift up the water container lid and flip
