If the steam function has been activated and the

you can open the steam / hot water control all the way up in a counter clockwise
direction to let steam escape from the steam / hot water wand. Use it to steam
milk or heat beverages. Steam escapes from the wand for as long as the control
is open. Refer to pages 25 –27 for detailed instructions.
If the steam function has not been activated and the appliance is in coffee ex-
●
traction mode instead, opening up the steam / hot water control activates the
hot water function. Refer to page 27 for detailed instructions.
NOTE: The espresso machine is too hot to make coffee immediately after producing
steam. This is indicated by either the steam button lighting up constantly (meaning
the appliance is still in steam mode) or by the two coffee extraction buttons flashing,
meaning the appliance is cooling down. If you press one of the two coffee extraction
buttons in this moment, the appliance performs a rinse cycle (steam escapes into the
drip tray), so that the boiler temperature decreases for coffee extraction.

E PRES SUR E G A UG E ( MA NO ME TE R )
The pressure gauge measures the pressure, at which the water is forced through
●
the ground coffee in the portafilter. The extraction range is ideal when the
manometer needle stands between 8 and 12 during extraction, especially for
espresso coffee. Then, the espresso coffee has a fine and even crema.
If the needle is below 6 during extraction, the water is forced through the porta-
●
filter at insufficient pressure (too quickly). The coffee turns out watery and has a
lightly coloured or not enough crema and may taste acid. Reasons for this might
be: too coarsely ground coffee, insufficient amount of ground coffee in the por-
tafilter, the ground coffee has not been tamped firmly enough or too old coffee.
If the needle is above 13 during extraction, the water is forced through the por-
●
tafilter at excessive pressure (too slowly). The coffee turns out bitter and has a
dotted or irregular crema. Reasons for this might be: too finely ground coffee,
too much ground coffee in the portafilter or the ground coffee has been tamped
too firmly.
