First Use or If the Machine Has Not Been Used for a Long Period

Making Espresso

For first-time use, clean the appliance as described in the "FIRST USE" section. Ensure the filter holder is tightened before brewing. Do not remove the filter holder while water is flowing.

With ground coffee

Refer to the first 4 steps of "FIRST USE".
Add ground coffee to the filter (F1 or F2) using the measuring spoon (L). Pack the coffee down with the tamper (17). Clean excess coffee from the filter holder rim.
Slot the filter holder into place and turn it to the right until it stops.
Place cups under the filter holder.
Press the 1-cup (N) or 2-cup (O) button. The selected button will flash, and the machine will start brewing.
Unlock and remove the filter holder. Empty the filter using the filter holding hook (G).
Wash the filter and filter holder under running water.

With Pods (E.S.E.)

Use E.S.E. pods.
Insert the E.S.E. filter (F3) into the filter holder.
Place the pod centrally in the filter holder. Follow pod packaging instructions.
Repeat steps from "With ground coffee", skipping step 5.

Personalization of Coffee Volume

You can personalize the coffee volume from 15 to 65 ml for 1 cup and 30 to 130 ml for 2 cups. The default volumes are 30 ml (1 cup) and 60 ml (2 cups). To adjust, press and hold the desired espresso button for 3 seconds, then press the button again when the desired volume is reached. The setting will flash three times to confirm.

Recover Default Coffee Volume

In steam pre-heat mode, press and hold the espresso button for 3 seconds. The buttons will flash orange once, and the water pump will activate once to restore default volumes.

Personalization of Automatic Shut Down Time

You can change the automatic shutdown time to 5, 15, or 30 minutes (default is 30 minutes). To change, press and hold the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The lights will flash orange: 1 flash for 5 minutes, 2 flashes for 15 minutes, 3 flashes for 30 minutes. Press the button when the lights are not flashing to set the duration. Wait for the lights to turn white to confirm.

Steam Function

Making Cappuccino

Prepare espresso in large cups.
Press the steam button (P). The machine enters steam pre-heating mode.
Fill a container with 60-100 ml of cold milk. Use fresh, cold milk for best results.
Set the steam nozzle to the foaming function (H1).
Place the steam nozzle into the milk container.
Turn the knob (M) to the steam position (M2). Foam the milk, moving the nozzle and container as described in the manual.
Turn the knob back to the preheat position (M1) when done.
Pour the milk foam over the espresso.

Hot Milk Preparation

Follow the "Making Cappuccino" steps, but set the steam nozzle to the hot milk function (H2) in step 4.

Good to Know - Practice After Using Steam

If preparing espresso after using steam, cool down the machine. Press the button to return to coffee brewing mode. If the buttons flash, the temperature is too high. Immerse the steam nozzle in 60 ml of water and turn the knob to steam (M2) to produce hot water. Once cooled, turn the knob back to preheat (M1).

Hot Water Preparation

The machine is in coffee brewing mode.
Place a container under the steam nozzle.
Turn the knob to the steam position (M2). The machine will produce hot water and stop when the knob is returned to preheat (M1).

Cleaning and Maintenance

Unplug the appliance before cleaning and allow it to cool. Clean the exterior with a damp sponge. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents. Rinse the water tank regularly. Clean the drip tray (J) and grill (I) with water and mild detergent. Only the drip tray grill is dishwasher safe. Clean the filter holder and filters with a damp cloth. To remove deposits from filters, a needle can be used. Filters are dishwasher safe. Clean the steam nozzle (H) after each use by flushing with water. The steam nozzle tube is dishwasher safe. Important: Do not clean any parts of this appliance in a dishwasher, except for the drip tray grill, steam nozzle tube, and filter cups.

Descaling

The machine can be descaled at any time. The descaling light will indicate when it's necessary. Prepare descaler according to manufacturer's instructions and add to the water tank with approx. 750 ml of drinking water. Place a receptacle under the spouts and insert the filter holder without a filter. Press the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to start the automatic descaling program. The machine will cycle water through until the tank is empty. After descaling, rinse the appliance 2-3 times with clean water, including the steam nozzle.
