IMPORTANT!
After five minute of non-use, your appliance will switch off automatically
in order to help protect the environment.
IMPORTANT!
A beep will sound each time the appliance is switched on or off (when
pressing the on/off button (D2)). This is completely normal. This
corresponds to the switching on/off of the pump (4).
PREPARING ESPRESSO
IMPORTANT!
If the espresso machine is being used for the first time, the appliance must
be cleaned as described in the paragraph "USING FOR THE FIRST TIME".
With ground coffee
The type of ground coffee you choose will determine the strength and flavour of your
espresso: the finer the coffee, the more intense the espresso.
„
Fill the tank with water at room temperature and place it back on the appliance,
ensuring that it is positioned correctly (3-4).
„
Plug your machine in (1).
„
Switch on the appliance by pressing the on/off button. A short beep will sound,
this is completely normal. This corresponds to the switching on of the pump (6).
„
The temperature light flashes while it is heating up and then remains on (7). The
appliance is now ready to use.
„
Unlock the filter holder by turning it to the left (16).
„
Add the filter for 1 cup or the filter for 2 cups to the filter holder (17).
„
Using the measuring scoop, add your ground coffee. (1 scoop = 1 cup, 2 scoops
= 2 cups) to the filter (18).
„
Remove excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.
„
Insert the filter holder into the appliance, pushing it firmly to the right as far as it
will go (8).
„
Place one or two cups on the drip tray grid under the filter holder (19).
„
Turn the selection button to the espresso position (D1-2) (19).
„
After a few moments, the coffee will flow through.
„
When the cup(s) is/are full, return the selection button to the O position (15).
„
Remove the cup(s).
„
Unlock the filter holder by turning it to the left. Remove it from the appliance (16).
„
To discard the grounds, turn the filter holder over while holding the filter in place
using the tab to allow just the coffee grounds to fall out (20).
„
Wash the filter holder and filter under running water to remove any remaining
grounds (21).
„
For best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories in advance (filter
holder, filter and cup) following the steps below without adding coffee.
„
Leave your appliance to cool if you have made five 50ml coffees consecutively.

With a soft capsule
Your machine is compatible with soft capsules (generally 60mm in diameter). Given that
this type of capsule is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will obtain
a less intense coffee than with ground coffee.
„
Fill the water tank with water at room temperature and place it back on the
appliance (3-4).
„
Switch on the appliance by pressing the on/off button (6).
„
The light flashes while it is preheating and then remains on. The appliance is now
ready to use (7).
„
Unlock the filter holder by turning it to the left (16). Place a soft capsule in the filter
one cup. Capsules are designed to make one cup of coffee. Using two capsules
on top of each other is not recommended (22).
„
Insert the filter holder into the appliance, pushing it firmly to the right as far as it
will go (8).
„
To prepare your espresso, follow the procedure for preparing an espresso with
ground coffee.
„
Leave your appliance to cool if you have made five coffees consecutively.
STEAM FUNCTION
Steam is used to foam milk (to prepare cappuccinos, for example).
„
To produce steam, turn the selection button to the Preheat position (D1-3). (10).
„
The on/off light will flash again and then remain on. The appliance is now ready to
use (7).
„
Add 60 to 100ml milk to a container. For best results, we recommend that you
use a narrow, fairly short container to fit under the steam wand. The milk and its
container must be very cold for optimal results.
„
As soon as the light stays on, plunge the steam wand into the milk without touching
the bottom of the container (23).
„
Turn the selection button to the steam position (D1-4) (24).
„
For best results, foam the milk from the bottom of the container but without
touching the bottom, for about 10 seconds. Next, tilt and move the container up
progressively such that the wand comes to the surface of the milk. Ensure that
the wand does not come out of the milk. For best foaming results, make circular
movements (25).
„
In order to obtain good quality milk froth, we recommend that you use pasteurised
or UHT milk and avoid using unpasteurised or skimmed milk.
„
Once you have foamed the milk, turn the selection button to the O position (12). At
this time the appliance will cool automatically, starting two to three pump cycles
intermittently. Once this automatic operation has finished, you can prepare an
espresso.
„
After turning off the steam, quickly and carefully clean the steam wand using a
damp sponge (to ensure that residues do not remain stuck).
„
Place a container containing water under the steam wand and repeat the milk
foaming procedure exactly, in order to clean the wand.
„
To avoid overheating the milk, do not foam for longer than 60 seconds.
„
The steam wand is limited to 75 second of use in order to avoid overheating.
