Setup and First Use

Unpacking and Initial Cleaning

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials and promotional labels from the espresso machine.
2. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
3. Wash the water tank, drip tray, filter holder, and filters with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Filling the Water Tank

• Remove the water tank from the back of the machine.
• Fill the tank with fresh, cold water up to the "MAX" level indicator. Do not use hot water or other liquids.
• Replace the water tank securely into its position.

Priming the Machine (First Use)

Before making your first coffee, it is essential to prime the machine to ensure proper water flow and heating.

1. Ensure the water tank is filled.
2. Place a large container under the steam nozzle and the coffee outlet.
3. Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the power button (⏻) to turn on the machine. The indicator light will flash while heating.
4. Once the indicator light is solid, turn the control dial to the "Steam" (♫) position to release steam for about 30 seconds. Then turn it back to "Standby" (O).
5. Next, turn the control dial to the "Coffee" (☕) position and let water flow through the coffee outlet for about 30 seconds. Turn it back to "Standby" (O).
6. The machine is now primed and ready for use.

Operating Instructions

Making Espresso

1. Ensure the machine is plugged in and powered on. Wait for the indicator light to become solid, indicating it has reached the optimal temperature.
2. Insert the desired filter (1-cup or 2-cup) into the filter holder.
3. Add ground coffee to the filter. For a single espresso, use one level scoop (approximately 7g). For a double espresso, use two level scoops (approximately 14g). The KRUPS Precise Tamp System will automatically tamp the coffee when the filter holder is locked into the machine.
4. Attach the filter holder to the brewing head by aligning it and turning it to the right until it is securely locked.
5. Place one or two espresso cups on the drip tray beneath the filter holder spouts.
6. Turn the control dial to the "Coffee" (☕) position. Coffee will begin to flow.
7. Once the desired amount of espresso is brewed, turn the control dial back to the "Standby" (O) position to stop the flow.
8. To remove the used coffee grounds, turn the filter holder to the left to unlock it. Use the mess-free cake-ejection system to discard the coffee puck.

Using the Frothing Nozzle for Milk

The multi-directional frothing nozzle allows you to create creamy cappuccinos and lattes.

1. Fill a pitcher with cold milk (preferably skim or semi-skimmed) to about one-third full.
2. Ensure the machine is powered on and the indicator light is solid.
3. Position the frothing nozzle just below the surface of the milk in the pitcher.
4. Turn the control dial to the "Steam" (♫) position. Steam will begin to release.
5. Move the pitcher slowly up and down, keeping the nozzle just below the surface, to create foam. For hotter milk, immerse the nozzle deeper.
6. Once the desired foam and temperature are achieved, turn the control dial back to the "Standby" (O) position.
7. Immediately clean the frothing nozzle after use by wiping it with a damp cloth and briefly releasing steam into an empty cup to clear any milk residue.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your espresso machine.

Daily Cleaning

• Drip Tray: Empty and rinse the drip tray after each use or when the indicator floats up.
• Filter Holder and Filters: After each use, remove the filter holder and discard the coffee grounds. Rinse the filter holder and filter under running water.
• Frothing Nozzle: As mentioned above, clean immediately after each use to prevent milk residue from drying.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your machine, affecting performance. Descaling should be performed regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-3 months).

1. Prepare a descaling solution according to the descaler manufacturer's instructions. Use a descaler specifically designed for coffee machines.
2. Fill the water tank with the descaling solution.
3. Place a large container under the coffee outlet and steam nozzle.
4. Run half of the solution through the coffee outlet by turning the control dial to "Coffee" (☕).
5. Run the remaining half of the solution through the steam nozzle by turning the control dial to "Steam" (♫).
6. After descaling, rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill it with fresh water.
7. Run several full tanks of fresh water through both the coffee outlet and steam nozzle to rinse the machine completely.
