For best results, we recommend that you first 
pre-heat the accessories (filter holder, filter 
basket and cups) without putting in 
ground coffee. To do this :
• Fill the water container with fresh, cold
water (1) (2) (3) and turn on the appliance
(5). Empty the cups.
• Put the filter holder and an empty filter
basket in place (6) (7) (8),  and place the 
espresso cups underneath.
• As soon as the appliance reaches the correct
temperature the orange indicator light will 
go out.
• Turn selector to the   setting (10).
• When the cups are full of hot water, reset
the selector to the O setting.
After making your first espresso and the 
appliance is hot, the espresso cups can then 
be pre-heated on the cup warming plate.
. Preparing an espresso :
• Fill the water container (1) (2) (3) and turn
on the appliance (5).
• Put the filter basket for one or two cups into
the filter holder (6) .
• Place some ground coffee in the filter basket
(1 or 2 measuring scoops), and then tamp it 
down firmly; the coffee should reach the lip 
of the filter (12) (13).
• Remove any ground coffee which is lying
around the filter (14).
• Replace the filter holder into the machine.
Turn the filter holder until it is firmly locked 
into place. (16).

the machine, and take out the coffee

The filter basket can be refilled to make more 
espressos.
Caution: if the water container is empty 
and the pump is running, you will hear a 
very distinct noise, which is louder than 
the normal operating sound. If this 
happens, turn the machine “off”. Check 
the water container and refill as needed.
Never let the pump run when the water 
container is empty as this can damage the 
pump.
