3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Making Espresso
Follow these steps to brew a perfect espresso shot:
- Ensure the water tank is filled and the machine is powered on and preheated (the "Making Espresso" indicator light should be green).
- Grind your coffee beans to an espresso-fine consistency.
- Fill the portafilter with the ground coffee. For best results, compact and tamp the coffee powder to the MAX line using a 51mm tamper. Proper tamping is crucial to prevent leaking and ensure good extraction.
- Attach the portafilter securely to the group head by inserting and twisting it to the "LOCK" position.
- Place one or two espresso cups (each not exceeding 60ml for best taste) under the portafilter spouts.
- Press the "MAKING ESPRESSO" button to begin brewing.
- When the desired amount of espresso is reached, press the "MAKING ESPRESSO" button again to stop brewing.
3.2 Frothing Milk
Use the professional milk frothing wand to create rich, dense, and creamy froth for your beverages.
- Ensure the machine is heated to frothing temperature (the "Milk Frothing" indicator light should be green).
- Fill a milk frothing pitcher with cold milk.
- Submerge the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk.
- Turn the steam control knob to release steam. Move the pitcher up and down to incorporate air and create foam.
- Once the desired texture and temperature are achieved, turn off the steam control knob.
- Immediately clean the steam wand after use (refer to Maintenance section).

4. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your espresso machine and ensure consistent coffee quality.
4.1 Cleaning the Seal Ring
The seal ring is designed to prevent leaking. If too much coffee powder is left, it can become blocked. Clean it immediately after each use.

- Carefully rinse the seal ring with hot water from the brewing function.
- Wipe the seal ring area with a clean, damp cloth. Be careful of the heat.
4.2 Cleaning the Froth Nozzle
To avoid blocking and gathering stains, clean the froth nozzle immediately after frothing milk.
- After frothing, turn on the steam control knob briefly to release any residual milk and extra hot steam.
- Wipe the froth nozzle with a wet sponge or damp cloth. Be careful of the heat.
4.3 General Cleaning
- Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth.
- Empty and clean the drip tray regularly.
- Clean the portafilter and filter baskets after each use.
