General Safety Instructions
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this
type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe
place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card, purchase
receipt and carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of
the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to
the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
• Wall outlet: Only plug the appliance into a properly earthed electrical outlet.
• Do not immerse: To protect against fire and electric shock, do not immerse
the cord, plug or the appliance itself in water or other liquid, or expose any of
the electrical connections to water.
• Protect the cord: Do not kink, bend, squash or damage the power cord
and protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let it touch hot surfaces,
including the machine’s hot surfaces. Make sure the cord does not hang over
the edge of a table or benchtop and nothing is placed on top of the cord.
• No extension cord, no timer: Do not use the appliance with an extension
cord. Do not use it with a timer or a separate remote control system.
• Damage: Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord,
plug or housing is damaged. Do not use the appliance after it malfunctions or
has been damaged in any manner. A damaged cord or plug must be replaced
by appropriately qualified personnel in order to avoid a hazard. In case of
damage, unplug the machine and contact our after sales support line for advice.
• Disconnect: Unplug the espresso machine from the power supply:
• If anything unusual occurs during the brewing process.
• Before cleaning, servicing or moving the machine (allow it to cool before
cleaning).
• If you will not use it for an extended time (e.g. when going on holidays).
To disconnect, turn any control to the off position and unplug the machine
from the wall outlet. When unplugging, grab the plug, do not pull the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when
using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.

Getting Started
Before first use
• Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made
sure your new espresso machine is undamaged and in good working order.
Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children,
so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach.
• Inspect the cord and plug for damage or wear before each use. Do not
use the appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not
working properly. In case of damage, contact the after sales support line.
• Read all instructions in this manual and make sure you understand all
warnings. Refer to the Product Overview on page 5 to familiarise yourself with
the product and identify all parts.
• Remove and wash the water container (see page 11), porta filter and filters,
drip tray and drainer, and the measuring spoon in warm water and a little
mild detergent to remove any dust from transport. Rinse and dry each part
thoroughly, then refit the drip tray and drainer. Wipe the steam wand clean.
• Flush the internal brewing system as follows:
1. Fill water into the container (see page 11 for details).
2. Put a filter into the porta filter – without any ground coffee at this stage –
and engage it onto the brew head (see page 10 for details).
3. Place a larger container underneath the outlet openings.
4. Plug the machine into a wall outlet and set the hot water/steam selector to
the HOT WATER position (button released).
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance on, and set the function dial
to the position. As soon as the HEATING light goes out, hot water will
start flowing from the outlets.
6. While watching the container so it does not overflow, leave the pump
running until about half the water has passed through. Then turn the
function dial to the neutral position to switch off the pump.
7. Empty the hot water out of the container and place it under the steam wand
8. Turn the function dial to the position. CAUTION: Take care, as soon
as the heating light goes out, steaming hot water will start flowing from the
steam wand, and there may be some splattering!
9. While watching the container, let the water pass through until the amount
left in the container has reached the MIN mark.
10. Then turn the function dial to the neutral position to switch off the pump.
• Follow this same procedure if the appliance has not been used for a week,
or for a longer period of time.
