HOW TO USE YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE
Wash the filter holder and the stainless filters in mild
detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
It is recommended to complete a brewing operation with
cold water but without ground coffee before making your
first coffee to ensure that all internal piping has been
preheated (see ‘Brewing Coffee’ page 36).
Filling the water tank
• Ensure the Power ‘ON/OFF’ switch is set to the
‘OFF’ position and Selector Control is in the
‘STAND BY’ position.
• Lift up the water tank lid and remove the water tank.
Fill with cold water to the maximum mark and replace
back into position in the machine, pressing down
firmly so that the water valve opens. Close the water
tank lid.
Preparing the Coffee
• Place the 1 or 2 cup filter into the filter holder and fill
with ground espresso coffee (use the smaller filter for
1 cup and the larger filter for 2 cups).
• Use the measuring/tamping spoon provided to
measure 1 level measure of espresso coffee for the
1 cup filter and 2 level measures for the 2 cup filter.
It is important to use the correct amount of ground
coffee for each filter as the filter perforations have
been constructed to utilise the pressure build up in the
machine to extract optimal flavour with each brewing.
• Distribute the coffee evenly and press down lightly
with the tamping end of the measuring spoon (if there
is too much coffee, the flow of water can become
blocked).
• Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder to ensure a proper fit under the brew head.
• Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so
that the handle is positioned to the left of centre. Lift
the filter holder until it contacts the brew head and
rotate to the right, as per graphics on the filter holder
outlet.
The water tank should be filled with fresh
cold water before use.
Check water level before use and replace the
water daily.
Do not use mineral or distilled water.
