As soon as the required temperature is achieved, the light will stop flashing. Turn the dial to the "coffee"
position (fig.8). When the cups are filled with the desired amount of espresso, turn the dial back to the
"off" position. Unlock the filter holder by pressing the "OPEN" button on the handle while turning the
handle to the left to release, and remove the filter holder from the machine.
Remove the used espresso grounds using the ejection system by holding the filter holder upside down
over a trash receptacle. Press the "EJECT" button located between the two coffee outlet nozzles on
the underside of the filter holder (fig.11). Rinse the filter holder under running water, pressing "EJECT"
while rinsing to release any remaining grounds. Once the filter holder has been rinsed and dried it can
be refilled to prepare more espresso.
IMPORTANT: Do not store the filter holder in the locked position when the machine is not
in use to avoid unnecessary wear to the seal.
WITH AN "E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g of selected
coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian
style ristretto (tight) espressos.
This system allows for simple and clean use of your machine.
Fill the water tank with fresh cold water to the maximum line and turn on the machine (fig.1-4). The
light will flash while the machine preheats. Remove the excess paper from the E.S.E. pod, and place
the pod in the filter holder with the red writing facing down. Take care to make sure that the pod is
centered in the filter holder with no paper hanging out, as this may cause leaks and/or unsatisfactory
results. Never use more than one pod at a time. Then follow the steps above for figure 7-11 to make
your espresso.
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods, which are usually smaller in diameter than
E.S.E. pods. However since soft pods are not specifically designed for use with espresso
machines, you will get a less flavorful espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
Fill the water tank with fresh cold water to the maximum line and turn on the machine (fig.1-4). The
light will flash while the machine preheats. Place the soft pod in the filter holder. Take care to make sure
that the pod is centered in the filter holder as improperly positioned pods may cause leaks and/or
unsatisfactory results. Never use more than one pod at a time. Then follow the steps above for figure
7-11 to make your espresso.
6. MILK FROTHING FUNCTION
Steam can be used to froth milk by using the steam wand with frothing nozzle (for example to make a
cappuccino or latte). As the machine produces steam, the pump will make a thumping sounds. This sound
is normal and is an indication that the machine is operating properly.
After using the steam function, the machine purges automatically to cool down by pumping cold
water through the heating system. During the purging cycles of cold water, the excess steam in the
heating system is released with hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this
phase are important for cooling the machine.
Caution: During and after using the steam wand, the metal parts of the steam wand
can become very hot. Take care when handling the steam wand to avoid injury.
