Once cup is fi lled, set coffee switch (2) onto pos "0".
Note: It may happen that the self-priming feature of the
pump fails to work temporarily due to an air lock.
In this case water does not fl ow from brewing head (14),
and the following procedure should be followed:
a) Place a small frothing pitcher or mug under the steam
nozzle (8).
b) Turn the steam knob (7) counter-clockwise to open the
steam/hot water valve, and turn the steam switch (4)
and the hot water/brew (2) to "1" to activate the pump.
c) Alter a few seconds, a steady stream of water will emerge
from the steam nozzle.Allow about one cup of water to
fi ll the pitcher. Shut the steam/hot water valve and turn
hot water/brew switch and the steam switch (4) to "0".
d) NOTE: The temperature ready-light (3) will automatically
fl ash as the machine boiler heats.
After switching on the machine for the fi rst coffee, wait 6
minutes until the machine has fully heated up, while for
all subsequent coffees the machine will be ready to use.
Another feature of the machine is the "no-drip system",
eliminating most of dripping from brewing head (14). After
coffee brewing, however, a little dripping may occur due to
wet coffee grinds in the fi lter-holder.
Caution: Never operate pump without water
in machine as damage to the pump may occur.
Damage of pump run without water is not covered
by warranty.
