Safety instructions
The appliance must only ever be con-
nected to a mains supply with the
same voltage, type of current and frequency as those shown on the rating
plate (see underside of appliance).
Never allow the lead to come into con-
tact with the hot parts of the appliance.
Never pull the plug out of the socket
by tugging on the lead.
Never operate the appliance if:
the lead is damaged, or
there is visible damage to the hous-
ing.
The foam nozzle, steam pipe, boiling
head, sieve, and sieve carrier inevitably
become very hot during operation.
Keep children well away!
Follow the instructions for de-scaling.
Make sure the appliance is switched off
and the plug has been taken out of the
socket before doing any cleaning work.
Do not immerse the appliance in water.
Only ever fill the appliance with water,
and never with milk or any other liq-
uid.
Do not operate the appliance unless
the fresh water tank is full.
Do not take the sieve carrier off during
the boiling process because the appli-
ance is pressurised. Someone could
suffer burns.
Do not operate the appliance without
the drip tray and drip grill.
If any repair is necessary, including the
replacement of the lead, the appliance
must be handed in to the electrical
dealer from which it was purchased or
to an Electrolux Service Centre.
Repairs to electrical appliances must
only ever be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
No legal liability can be accepted for
damage resulting from the appliance
being used wrongly or for the wrong
purpose.
This appliance complies with the fol-
;
lowing EC directives:
73/23/EWG dated 19.2.1973
Low Voltage Directive
89/336/EWG dated 3.5.1989
(including Directive Amendment
92/31/EWG) EMC Directive.
Cable storage (Fig. 2)
Your espresso machine has a cable
store. If the lead is longer than it needs
to be to reach the socket, you can store
the surplus length in the cable store.
All according to the position of the
socket, you can let the cable out on the
right-hand or the left-hand side of the
base of the appliance.

Before using for the first time
Before you make your first cup of
espresso, rinse the heating system
through with a tankful of fresh water
but without espresso coffee, and boil
it. Proceed exactly as described below
under Making espresso coffee or
Making steam but without any
espresso ground coffee in the sieve.
Place as large a container as possible in
the middle of the drip grill (Fig. 1/H)
and underneath the foam nozzle (Fig.
1/F), after swivelling this outwards.
Making espresso coffee
We recommend that you rinse the system through every day, before the first
and after the last cup of espresso coffee, for about 10 seconds without any
espresso ground coffee in it, to prevent
any particles of coffee from accumulating anywhere. Proceed as described
under points 1 to 6 below, but without
any espresso ground coffee in the
machine.

2. Filling espresso ground coffee
(Figs. 4 and 5)
All according to whether you wish to
make one cup of espresso or two, place
either the 1-cup Crema Plus sieve (Fig.
1/M) or the 2-cup Crema Plus sieve
(Fig. 1/N) into the sieve carrier
(Fig. 1/L).
Fill the espresso ground coffee with the
aid of the measuring spoon (Fig. 1/P).
Fill the sieve up to the rim and then
level the espresso coffee grounds with
one stroke of the measuring spoon (Fig.
5). Clean the edge of the sieve of
ground coffee.
Caution:

espresso coffee sold in the trade contain a particularly high proportion of
coffee dust. This dust can block the
sieve, so that the espresso coffee only
runs out very slowly or perhaps not at
all. If this happens, we recommend that
you use the enclosed problem-solving
sieve (identifiable by its brown inner
ring and the fine, elongated hole structure, Fig. 1/O).

5. Switch on the main switch
Your espresso machine will reach its
operating temperature in a very short
time. This is a major advantage in comparison with conventional espresso
machines.
You switch the appliance on by flicking
the main switch (Fig. 9/1) upwards. The
pilot light (Fig. 9/2) comes on, as does
the temperature indicator at the same
time (Fig. 9/4), to show that the system
ist warming up. It goes out as soon as
the operating temperature is reached.
Note:
The temperature indicator can
come on during operation, to show
that the appliance is warming up
again.
6. Start boiling
switch on pump switch
When you start the boiling cycle, the
heated water is forced through the
espresso ground coffee at a high internal pressure. This pressure, together
with the special construction of the
Crema Plus sieve and fresh espresso
ground coffee, produces the crown of
foam which makes espresso coffee
from an Electrolux machine so incomparable.
You can make your Espresso crema as
follows:
When the temperature indicator (Fig.
0
9/4) has gone out you can start the
boiling process by flipping the pump
switch (Fig. 9/3) upwards.
Once the required quantity of espresso
0
has been boiled up, you flip the pump
switch (Fig. 9/3) downwards again and
this stops the brewing process.
Making steam with the
foam nozzle (Fig. 9-13)
The hot steam can be used to foam up
milk for cappuccino, to pre-heat the
espresso cups, and to heat up liquids
generally.
To generate steam, first switch the
0
appliance on with the main switch (Fig.
9/1) and wait until operating temperature has been reached. The temperature indicator (Fig. 9/4) must have
gone out.
Then immerse the foam nozzle into the
0
milk or other liquid you wish to foam
up or heat up, or the espresso or cappuccino cups you wish to warm, and
start
generating steam by rotating the
steam lever (Fig. 1/B)
as far as it will go (Fig. 10/A). For technical reasons, a little water will first
escape from the nozzle; it can be
removed before the actual steam generation starts but it does not harm the
good result, e.g. from foaming up milk,
in any way at all.
Important:
3
only about half way into the liquid, so
that the flow of air is not hindered. The
foam nozzle should not be allowed to
touch the base of the container as this
might restrict the outflow of steam
(Fig. 11).

Afterwards, turn the foam nozzle as far
as it will go to the left so that the inevitable last few drops can fall into the
drip grill provided for the purpose (Fig.
13).
After steam has been generated the
system has to be topped up, to do this,
switch the pump switch (Fig. 9/3) on,
and as soon as water starts to come
out of the brewing head switch the
pump switch off again.
Preparing cappuccino:
Proceed as for espresso, but for cappuccino you will need a larger coffee
cup, half or threequarters full of
espresso, which you then fill up with
foaming milk.
After making espresso/Cleaning
If you wish to make another cup of
espresso, leave the appliance switched
on, remove the sieve holder (see below,
Point 2), clean the sieve and the holder
(see below, Point 3), and then proceed
as described under Making espresso.
1. Switch appliance off
If the appliance will not be used for
some time it should be steamed out, so
that fresh water is always available
next time it is used. Place a container
under the foam nozzle and proceed as
follows:
Open the steam lever (Fig. 10/A) and let
0
the system steam out. If no more steam
comes out, close the steam lever again
(Fig. 10/B).
To switch the appliance off, flip the
0
main switch (Fig. 9/1) downwards. The
pilot light (Fig. 9/2) goes out.
2. Remove sieve carrier (Fig. 14)
You remove the sieve carrier by rotating it to the left and taking it out of its
holding ring. If you are not going to
use the appliance again for some time,
do not re-insert the sieve carrier; this
will lengthen the service life of the
sieve seal.
3. Cleaning sieve and sieve
carrier (Fig. 15)
Knock the used espresso ground coffee
out of the sieve, holding the sieve
firmly to the sieve carrier by the finger
protector. Then clean the sieve and the
carrier under running water or with
ordinary washing-up water.
Note:
Do not wash the sieve carrier in
a dishwashing machine.
4. Remove the remaining water
from the fresh water tank
5. Cleaning the foam nozzle
(Fig. 16)
Clean the foam nozzle especially
after frothing up milk with a damp
cloth. If the foam nozzle is clogged, it
can be unscrewed with a coin. Pull off
the lower part of the nozzle downwards and clean the foam nozzle, make
sure it is seated properly.
6. Cleaning the drip grill and
drip tray (Fig. 17)
The drip grill can be taken out for
cleaning very easily with the aid of the
finger-shaped depression at the front
right-hand edge of the drip tray. The
drip tray can be taken out for cleaning
by simply lifting it forwards out of the
appliance base. The drip grill and the
drip tray can be cleaned in ordinary
washing-up water.
7. Cleaning the cup shelf
(Fig. 18)
The best way to clean the cup shelf is
with a damp cloth. To remove it, press
it down at the rear end and pull it
upwards and forwards out of its retaining rim.
8. Cleaning the boiling head
(Fig. 19)
After it has been in use for some time,
the boiling head should be cleaned
with a damp cloth. If the boiling sieve
is particularly dirty it can be unscrewed
from the boiling head with the aid of a
coin and cleaned under running water.

De-scaling
The service life of your automatic
espresso machine will be lengthened if
you de-scale it regularly. To do this,
please use an environmentally friendly
de-scaling agent, and use it as stated
in the manufacturers instructions.
When de-scaling, it is essential first
to unscrew the boiling sieve from
the boiling head with the aid of a
coin (Fig. 19).
First fill about half a litre of water
0
into the fresh water tank and
the de-scaling agent never the
other way round!
Place a sufficiently large container in
0
the middle of the drip grill.
Allow about one-third of the de-scal-
0
ing agent and water to run through
the system by operating the appliance
as if you were making espresso (see
Section Making espresso coffee).
Switch the appliance off again, and
leave the de-scaling agent to work in
for 10 or 15 minutes.
Then run the rest of it through the sys-
0
tem. It may be necessary to repeat the
de-scaling if the lime deposits are
heavy.
After the last cycle, run one or two
0
tankfuls of clear, fresh water through
the system to prevent the de-scaling
agent from having any affect on the
flavour of the espresso.
Then fit the boiling sieve back into the
0
boiling head.
