English - Philips HL3844/N Expresso de Luxe Manual De Instrucciones

English

• Inside the Espresso machine water is
heated up. This water will expand and
as a result some drops may leak from
the steam pipe and/or the water outlet
opening. This is quite normal. Do not
forget to move the steam pipe backwards
into a position over the grid if you do not
wish to use it.
Important
• Read the instructions in conjunction with
the illustrations (pages 4, 5, 22 and 23)
before using the appliance.
• Check that the voltage rating at the
bottom of the appliance corresponds
to your mains voltage.
• The appliance should be connected to
an earthed mains socket by means of an
earthed plug.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• If the mains cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must only be replaced by
Philips or their service representative, as
special tools and/or parts are required.
• Bleed-off air before using the appliance
for the first time to guarantee proper
pump functioning. Please refer to the
sections "Before using for the first
time and not using for a while" and
"Refreshing water in the boiler".

Refreshing water in the boiler
The appliance has a boiler which contains
about 200 ml water. When the appliance is
new or when it has not been used for a while
(more than three days) it is advised to refresh
the water in the boiler before brewing coffee:
- refresh the water in the water tank.
Be careful to insert the two tubes;
- place a small jug (200ml min.) under the steam
pipe;
- open the steam pipe by turning the steam
control knob anti-clockwise;
- switch on the appliance (On/Off) (J);
- switch on the pump k;
- when you have filled the jug, switch off the
pump k and close the steam control knob
(clockwise).
Then the appliance is ready for further use.
Espresso
Espresso is made by pumping hot water
rapidly and at a high pressure through
ground Espresso type coffee.
This tasty Espresso is best served in
special small-sized cups (50 ml).
• Your Espresso coffee will be at optimum
(hot!) temperature, if the filter holder is
screwed into place while the machine is
heating up.
• You can pre-heat your cups by rinsing
them with hot tap water.
