3. PRACTICAL ADVICE

For espresso coffee with a powerful aroma, we recommend using freshly ground special espresso coffee.
-Keep ground coffee in the refrigerator; it will keep its aroma longer.
- Do not overfill the filter. Use the measuring spoon. Remove any excess ground coffee.
Important!
- Before using for the first time, or after not having used for a considerable time, rinse the appliance as
indicated in paragraph 4 "Using for the first time – rinsing".
- Fill the water tank with cold water.
- Never remove the filter-holder or open the water tank lid, without having previously released the
remaining pressure in the appliance (paragraph 2).
4. USING FOR THE FIRST TIME - RINSING
Check that the appliance is unplug ged.
1. Unscrew the lid of the water tank (fig. 2).
2. Measure out 240 ml of water and pour into the tank (fig 3)
Important: for 'hot' coffee, never use more than this amount of water.
3. Put the lid back on and screw right down (fig. 4).
4. Fit the coffee filter (without any coffee) into the appliance (fig.5): turn it firmly from left to right to put it into
'locked' position (fig. 6).
5. Place one container/cup under the filter holder and another under the steam nozzle
6. Plug the appliance in.
7. Turn the selector knob to the "coffee making" position (fig. 8).
8. The ON/OFF pilot light will light up (fig. 9).
9. After a few minutes, hot water starts dripping. When the container/cup is half full, turn the selector knob
gently to (fig. 10).
10. When there is no more steam, turn to stop (fig. 1).

5. MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE

Check that the appliance is unplugged and that there is no pressure. (see safety instructions)
1. Unscrew the lid of the water tank (fig. 2).
Measure out the right amount of water for your needs and pour it into the water tank. For instance:
an Italian-sized cup (small cup for strong coffee) = 25 to 50 ml
a standard-sized cup (for milder coffee) = 75 to 100 ml
Up to 4 Italian cups or 2 standard cups can be made at one time, without adding water to the tank.
2. Pour the water into the tank (fig 3) and completely screw down the lid (fig 4).
3. Plug in the appliance. Fit the filter into the filter-holder. (fig.5)
4. Put the coffee into the filter holder using the measuring spoon. 1 full measuring spoon is the amount for 1
French or Italian cup (strong coffee)
5. Remove any excess coffee on the edge of the filter-holder.
