Now the machine is ready for use.
NOTES: Above simple operation ensures
optimum dispensing and must be carried
out:
-When first starting
-When the machine has been out of use for
a long time (1-2 weeks).
-When the tank has run out of water.
Usage
IMPORTANT - Make sure that the water
tank has water.
Switch the ON/OFF button; the START
button blinks.

preheating. The START button blinks a blue
light during preheating; it remains lit when
preheating is finished.
Note: when the machine finishes dispensing
coffee or steaming, it will dispense an
amount of water into the drip tray and turn
the switch to the '0' position. This is normal.

Pre-infusion
Pre-infusion is the process of soaking, for a
few seconds, the ground coffee in a small
amount of water, before proceeding with
the total extraction of the coffee. The aim
is to ensure that the water passes evenly
throughout the ground coffee, resulting in
a more efficient extraction.
For 1 espresso:
Turn the switch to the coffee position.
Press the START button shortly. The blue
light of the START button starts blinking,
the machine starts the pre-infusion for a
few seconds, and then dispenses coffee.
Dispensing stops automatically, however
you can press the START button again to
stop dispensing once you reach the desired
amount of coffee. The blue START button
light turns on.
Turn the switch back to the '0' position
to enter standby mode, remove the filter
holder by turning from right to left, clean
the filter holder, and dry it after use.
For 2 espressos:
Turn the switch to the coffee position.
Press the START button for 3 seconds. The
START button starts blinking a purple light,
the machine starts the pre-infusion for a
few seconds, and then dispenses coffee.
Dispensing stops automatically, however
you can press the START button again to
stop dispensing once you reach the desired
amount of coffee. The blue START button
light turns on.
