3. Power On: Plug the machine into a suitable power outlet. Press the power button. The machine will begin preheating, indicated by flashing lights. Wait for the lights to become solid, indicating preheating is complete.

Operating Instructions

Grinding Coffee Beans

1. Select your desired grind setting using the dial on the bean hopper (settings 1-30). A finer grind is typically used for espresso.
2. Insert the portafilter into the grinding cradle.
3. Press the grind button (single or double shot) to dispense freshly ground coffee into the portafilter. Press again to stop if sufficient.

Making Espresso

1. After grinding, use the tamper to firmly press the coffee grounds in the portafilter. This creates a compact puck for optimal extraction.
2. Insert the portafilter into the brewing head and turn it to the right until it locks securely.
3. Place your espresso cup(s) under the portafilter spouts.
4. Press the single or double shot button to begin extraction. The machine will automatically stop when the desired volume is reached.

Frothing Milk

1. Fill the milk frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy).
2. Turn the side knob to the steam position. Wait for the steam function to preheat.
3. Position the steam wand tip just below the milk surface, holding the pitcher at a 15-45 degree angle.
4. Turn the knob to steam mode to begin texturing. Move the pitcher up and down to incorporate air and create microfoam.
5. Continue until the milk reaches 60-65°C (140-150°F) and has the desired texture. Turn the knob to the "off" position.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Regularly clean the portafilter, filter baskets, and drip tray after each use.
• Wipe the steam wand clean with a damp cloth immediately after frothing milk to prevent milk residue from drying. Briefly turn the knob to steam position to clear any internal residue.
• The drip tray can be easily removed for emptying and cleaning.

Descaling

A descaling reminder will appear after approximately 15 liters of water output. Regular descaling is crucial for maintaining machine performance and coffee quality.

1. Prepare a descaling solution using descaling powder, tablets, or liquid descaler according to the product instructions.
2. Pour the solution into the water tank.
3. Long press the power button and double shot button for 3 seconds to enter descaling mode.
4. Turn the knob to the steam setting to begin the descaling process. The machine will dispense the solution through the group head and steam wand.
5. Once the hot water stops flowing, clean the containers and water tank. Refill the water tank with fresh water and repeat the process to rinse the machine.
