5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Making Espresso with Ground Coffee
- Ensure the machine is preheated.
- Select the appropriate filter basket (single or double shot) and place it in the portafilter.

- Position 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 reached, turn off the steam control knob.
- Immediately clean the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the performance and lifespan of your coffee machine.
6.1. Daily Cleaning
- Portafilter and Filter Baskets: After each use, remove the portafilter, discard used coffee grounds, and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under running water.
- Drip Tray: Empty and clean the drip tray regularly. It is removable for easy access.
- Water Tank: Empty any remaining water and rinse the water tank daily. Refill with fresh water before each use.
- Steam Wand: Wipe the steam wand immediately after each use with a damp cloth to remove milk residue. Periodically, purge steam through the wand to clear any internal blockages.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6.2. Descaling
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up inside the machine, affecting performance. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
- Use a commercial descaling solution suitable for coffee machines, following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Fill the water tank with the descaling solution and water mixture.
- Run the solution through the machine by performing several brewing cycles without coffee, and also by dispensing hot water through the steam wand.
- After descaling, rinse the machine thoroughly by running several cycles with fresh water to remove any descaling solution residue.
