• Always switch the appliance to “OFF”, switch the power off at the power outlet and remove the plug when

• Only plug the appliance in a socket with an earth pin. Check that the voltage on the rating plate of the

compartment, filter holder, and steam nozzle).
• Regularly inspect the power supply cord and do not use the appliance if it is damaged or if the power cord
has been damaged. If found damaged in any way, immediately cease use of the espresso machine and
return the entire unit to your nearest authorised Tefal Service Centre for examination, replacement or repair.
Under no circumstances should you open the appliance yourself.
• The accessories and removable parts of the appliance are NOT dishwasher safe.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Only use cold water in the tank. Do not use any other liquid.
• Never use the machine without water in the water tank.
• Do not use the appliance unless the drip tray and the grill are fitted.
• Ensure the filter holder is securely fitted when using the espresso machine.
• Never remove the filter holder during the brewing operation as the machine is under pressure.
• Follow the instructions for descaling operations.
4. PRACTICAL ADVICE
• To release the filter holder while pressing the “EJECT” button lightly before re-
moving it from the appliance (fig. 1).
• Do not fill your filter holder to the top, use the measuring spoon (1 spoonful for
1 cup, 2 spoonfuls for 2 cups).
• Remove any excess ground coffee from the edge of the filter holder.
• It is recommended that you empty the water tank daily after use.
• Before removing the tank to fill or empty it, always remember to switch off the
appliance.
• To obtain optimal temperature of your cup, Tefal recommends you keep the
cups warm in the compartments provided.
Water Flow:
If you are making an espresso, you must make sure that the water flows through
the espresso machine at the correct rate. If it is too slow, the coffee will be over
extracted – too dark and very bitter, with an uneven crema. If it flows too
quickly, the coffee will be under-extracted – the proper aroma and flavour would
not have had time to develop. You can adjust the coffee tamping by turning the
filter head from left to right.
IMPORTANT!
Before first use, after
prolonged periods of
non-use or after
descaling,
the appliance must
be cleaned as
described in
the paragraph:
