Operating Instructions
1. Basic Coffee Preparation (Espresso)
- Power On: Press the power button (usually marked with ⏻) on the control panel. The LCD will display the machine's status.
- Place Cup: Position one or two espresso cups under the coffee spout. Adjust the spout height as needed to minimize splashing.
- Select Coffee Type: Use the control knob or dedicated buttons to select your desired coffee strength and volume. The LCD will guide you through the options.

2. Using Pre-Ground Coffee
- Ensure the machine is powered on.
- Locate the pre-ground coffee chute (refer to the machine diagram if available).
- Add one scoop of pre-ground coffee into the chute for a single serving. Do not add more than one scoop at a time to prevent blockages.
- Proceed with basic coffee preparation steps (place cup, select coffee type, start brewing).
3. Adjusting Grind Settings
- The machine features an adjustable grinder with six settings.
- To adjust, locate the grind setting dial, usually inside the bean hopper or near it.
- Important: Adjust the grind setting only when the grinder is operating (i.e., while the machine is actively grinding beans for a brew cycle). Adjusting it when the grinder is idle can damage the mechanism.
- Turn the dial to your desired setting: finer for stronger espresso, coarser for a milder taste.

4. Preparing Cappuccino/Latte (Milk Frothing)
- Prepare Espresso: First, brew an espresso shot into your cup as described above.
- Prepare Milk: Fill a milk pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) to just below the spout.
- Activate Steam: Turn the steam knob or press the dedicated steam button. Wait for the machine to reach steaming temperature (indicated on the LCD or by a light).
- Froth Milk: Immerse the steam wand tip just below the surface of the milk. Open the steam valve fully. Move the pitcher up and down slightly to create foam. Once desired foam consistency and temperature are reached, close the steam valve.
- Clean Wand: Immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying. Briefly open the steam valve again to clear any milk from inside the wand.
- Combine: Pour the frothed milk over your espresso.
