5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Preparing for Espresso

1. Ensure the water tank is filled.
2. Turn on the espresso machine and allow it to preheat. The display will indicate when it's ready (e.g., reaching target temperature).
3. Select the appropriate grind setting on the Gemilai grinder (typically 3-6 for espresso).

9. Place your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray beneath the portafilter.

5.2 Brewing Espresso

1. Press the brew button to start the extraction.
2. Monitor the extraction time and volume. A typical espresso shot should extract in 25-30 seconds for 1-2 oz.
3. Press the brew button again to stop the extraction once the desired volume is reached.
4. Carefully remove the portafilter and discard the used coffee puck.

5.3 Steaming Milk

1. Fill the milk frothing jug with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) up to the bottom of the spout.

2. Turn on the steam function and purge any water from the steam wand into the drip tray.
3. Submerge the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk.
4. Open the steam lever fully. Position the jug to create a swirling motion (vortex) in the milk.
5. Continue steaming until the milk reaches the desired temperature and texture (typically 140-150°F or when the jug is too hot to touch).
6. Close the steam lever and immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.
7. Purge the steam wand again briefly to clear any internal milk residue.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

6.1 Daily Cleaning

• Portafilter and Filter Baskets: Rinse after each use.
• Drip Tray: Empty and rinse daily.
• Steam Wand: Wipe immediately after each use and purge.
• Group Head: Use a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds from the group head gasket and shower screen.
• Grinder: Brush away any loose coffee grounds from the chute and burrs.

6.2 Weekly Cleaning

• Backflushing (Espresso Machine): Use a blind filter basket and espresso machine cleaning tablets (follow tablet instructions) to backflush the group head.
• Water Tank: Wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Grinder Burrs: Remove the bean hopper and top burr, then brush away accumulated coffee oils and grounds.

6.3 Descaling (Espresso Machine)

Descaling should be performed every 2-3 months, or more frequently in areas with hard water, to prevent mineral buildup.

1. Use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for espresso machines.
2. Follow the instructions on the descaling solution packaging.
3. Typically, this involves dissolving the solution in the water tank and running it through the machine's brew and steam cycles, followed by several rinse cycles with fresh water.
