• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (13).
• Replace the filter holder into the machine.
Turn the filter holder until it is firmly locked
into place (6) (7).
• Place one or two espresso cups beneath
the filter holder's coffee outlets.
As soon as the appliance reaches the right
temperature, the orange temperature control
light switches off.
• Turn the control button (O) to espresso
mode (9). Take the pre-brewing into ac-
count.
• When the desired quantity of espresso
has been made, turn the button (O) to the
central position (10).
• Remove the filter holder and the filter
from the machine and take out the coffee
grounds (14).
The filter can be refilled to make more
espressos.
Caution: if the water container is empty
and the pump is running, you will hear
a very distinct noise, which is louder
than the normal operating sound. If this
happens, press the start/stop switch (4).
Check the water container and refill as
needed.
Never let the machine run when the water
container is empty as this can damage
the pump.
. USING THE SPECIAL " E.S.E. " FILTER
The E.S.E. system was designed for making
Italian-style "espresso ristreto" (squeezed).
The amount of coffee is 35 ml and the water
should take 20 seconds to run through.
"ESE", which stands for "Easy Serving
Espresso", is a selected measure of coffee,
ground and pressed between two filter
papers making it ready for use. This system
makes it easy for you to prepare your
espresso because you avoid the measu-
rement and tamping down operations and
it also makes it easier for you to clean the
appliance.
We do not intend, or recommend, that
the E.S.E. servings be used for making
more then one single serving or a "long
espresso".
We recommend that you take care when
handling and storing the E.S.E. pre-por-
tioned pods so that they do not become
deformed.
For best results, we recommend that you
pre-heat the accessories (filter holder, filter
basket and cups) without any coffee. To do
this, see section entitled "Espresso Making"
above.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water tank (1) (2) (3) and turn on
the machine (4).
Positioning the E.S.E. pod (18).
Tear excess paper from pod at perforated
edge. Place the E.S.E. pod with the RED
MARKING FACE DOWN (bend the paper
corners down) in the E.S.E. filter holder fitted
with its own filter.
• Take care to put all the paper inside the
filter or you may get some drips.
Placing the E.S.E. pod correctly will create a
richer, thicker crema.
Locking the handle tightly and properly will
also help avoid leakage from the filter holder
and ensure a better brewing cycle.
Place the filter holder inside the brewing
head and firmly turn the handle as far right
as possible (6) (7) (8).
As soon as the appliance reaches the right
temperature, the orange temperature control
light switches off.
• Turn the control button (O) to espresso
mode (9). Take the pre-brewing into ac-
count.
• When the desired quantity of espresso has
been made (35 ml), turn the control button
(O) to the central position (10).
• Remove the filter holder from the brewing
head and throw away the used coffee pod.

2. STEAM FUNCTION

The thumping noise which occurs while
steam is being produced comes from the in-
termittent regulation of the pump and has no
effect on the proper working of the machine.
If you wish to make an espresso imme-
diately after using the steam function, the
appliance must first be allowed to cool down
in order to achieve the correct temperature
for preparing an espresso.
• When you turn the selector to the O set-
ting, the appliance automatically cools
