Ensure the unit is turned off (`O') by pressing the on/off `I/O' switch located on the left side of the unit, and ensure it is unplugged from the electrical outlet. 2. Remove any stickers and labels from the unit. 3. Remove the water reservoir, milk reservoir, portafilter, two filters, and the measuring scoop/tamper. Wash them in a solution of mild detergent and water, rinse thoroughly, and replace them in the unit. 4. Refer to the `Placing the Portafilter' section before inserting or removing the portafilter and filters. 5. To clean the inside of the appliance, follow the steps in the `Preparing Cappuccino' section, using only water in both reservoirs and leaving the filter empty. Do not immerse the main body, power cord, or plug in water or attempt to access internal parts. 6 Important - Priming the Unit To prime the unit and ensure optimal performance, run the steam cycle by following these steps: 1. Fill the water reservoir with purified water to a level between the `MIN' and `MAX' marks. 2. Fill the milk reservoir, ensuring the level does not exceed the `MAX' mark. Insert the milk reservoir by lifting and sliding it in while holding the lid. You should feel it lock into place. 3. Select a filter and place it in the portafilter. Insert the portafilter into the unit, ensuring it is properly locked, and position a cup underneath. Ensure the milk foam distribution pipe is directed into the cup. 4. Plug the coffee machine into an electrical outlet. 5. Turn the power switch to the `I' position. 6. The 6 control panel indicators will illuminate. Once all indicators are on, the unit is ready for use. Note: If the milk reservoir cannot be detached in correct position, the cappuccino and latte indicators will not illuminate. 7 Choosing The Right Cup Beverage Type Suggested Cup Size Espresso Single 50ml Cappuccino Small 180ml Latte Small 340ml Double Large Large 100ml 350ml 450ml Note: The upper surface capacity is for selection only, not for coffee consumed. The total amount of the beverage can vary depending on the type of milk and level of froth. Choosing The Right Coffee The Coffee · For the best results, use freshly ground, dark-roasted coffee, such as a French or Italian roast ground for espresso. · Pre-ground coffee retains its flavour for 7-8 days if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark area. Avoid storing coffee in the refrigerator or freezer. · Whole beans are recommended, as grinding them just before use preserves their aroma and flavour for up to 4 weeks when stored in an airtight container. The Grind Grinding is essential to the espresso-making process, especially if grinding beans at home. The coffee should be finely ground: · The ideal grind resembles table salt. · If the grind is too fine, water won't flow through the coffee, even under high pressure. These grinds resemble powder and feel like fine salt when rubbed between fingers. · If the grind is too coarse, water flows too quickly, preventing full-flavour extraction. Use a quality grinder to ensure a consistent grind. 8 Operation Filling the Water Reservoir · Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water. You may use a pitcher to pour water directly into the reservoir or remove the reservoir from the unit and fill it under the tap. Ensure the water level stays below the `MAX' mark. Avoid using warm or hot water. · Close the water reservoir lid securely. If you removed the reservoir to fill it, ensure it is firmly reattached. Filling the Milk Reservoir 1. If you plan to make a cappuccino or latte, remove the milk reservoir by lifting and sliding it out. 2. Pour the desired amount of cold milk into the reservoir, keeping the level below the `MAX' mark. 3. Slide the reservoir back onto the unit until it locks securely in place. 9 Choosing the Filter · Single Shot: Use the single shot filter when making one espresso shot with ground coffee. · Double Shot or Two Single Shots: Use the double shot filter to prepare a double espresso or two single shots. If making two single shots, position two small cups under the portafilter. Placing the Filter on the Portafilter 1. Insert the selected filter into the portafilter, aligning the filter dimple with the portafilter notch. 2. Turn the filter slightly left or right to lock it in place. Removing the Filter WARNING: Ensure the filter has cooled down before attempting to remove it from the portafilter. To remove the filter for cleaning, turn the filter to the left or right to align the filter dimple to the portafilter notch and proceed to remove. 10 Adding Ground Coffee 1. Fill the filter with freshly ground, fine espresso coffee, leaving about 2mm of space from the rim (do not overfill). 2. Use the tamping side of the scoop to compact the coffee grounds evenly. 3. Wipe any excess coffee from the rim for a secure fit under the brew head. Placing the Portafilter 1. Position the portafilter under the brew head. 2. Align the handle with the open lock icon on the unit, fitting it into the groove. 3. Slowly turn the handle to the right until it aligns with the closed lock icon on the unit. 11 Placing the Coffee Cup(s) · For larger cups when brewing a cappuccino or latte, remove the drip grid on top of the drip tray to make space. · When making a cappuccino or latte, adjust the frothing tube lever so the frothed milk dispensing tube is positioned over the cup in use. Turning the Unit On 1. Ensure the unit is plugged into an appropriate electrical outlet. 2. Turn the unit on by pressing the `I' side of the `Power' switch. The control panel indicators will flash as the unit heats the water and milk (if applicable). Once the indicators turn solid, the unit is ready for use.

The unit will stop automatically when the brewing is complete, and the indicator will become solid, indicating the cycle is finished. Note: To brew a smaller amount than the preset serving, press the `Function' button anytime during brewing to stop at the desired amount. 12 Preparing Cappuccino · Before preparing your cappuccino, adjust the froth level to your preference using the `Froth Control' knob. Turn it to the left for more foam (ideal for cappuccino) or to the right for less foam (ideal for latte). The foam level can also be adjusted during the brewing cycle. · Press the `Small Cappuccino' button once to brew a small cup. The `Small Cup' indicator will turn on and start flashing, indicating the brewing process. · Press the `Large Cappuccino' button to brew a large cup. The large cup indicator will turn on and start flashing, indicating that a large cappuccino is brewing. · The unit will automatically brew your cappuccino as selected. It will stop once brewing is complete, and the indicator will become solid, signalling the end of the cycle. Preparing Latte Before making a latte, adjust the froth level by turning the `Froth Control' knob to the left for more foam or to the right for less foam (for a smoother latte texture). · Press the `Small Latte' button once to brew a small cup. The `Small Cup' indicator will turn on and start flashing, signalling the brewing process. · Press the `Large Latte' button to brew a large cup.
