• 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.

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.

the steam pipe. The froth, together with a little
milk, is added to the Espresso.
The steam pipe of your Espresso machine is
equipped with a handy accessory, named
“Cappuccino Extra”. This will help you to
make an excellent milk froth for Cappuccino,
simply and effectively.
• First prepare the milk froth, then the
Espresso.
• Use the wider special “Cappuccino” cups
(approx. 70 ml) for the same quantity of
coffee!
• BEFORE USING THE STEAM PIPE, ALWAYS
TAKE THE FILTER HOLDER OFF.
- Switch on main On/Off switch (J) (fig. 18).
The pilot light will now come on.
- Fill a milk jug about half full with cold milk.
- Set the steam switch s (L) to position “on”.
As soon as all three pilot lights illuminate,
the appliance is ready for making steam.
- You can swing the steam pipe (Q) to bring it
into the most suitable position (fig. 19).
- Keep the jug under the steam pipe.
Please note: the air outlet holes of the
accessory should remain under the milk
level (fig. 20).
- Open the steam control (M) by turning anti-
clockwise (fig. 21). At the first moment the
steam condensates into water and some drops
will come out of the steam pipe. You can collect
these drops into the drip basin (T). Afterwards
steam will come out of the steam pipe, making
the milk bubble (fig. 22).
Using the steam control (M) you can adjust
the steam output.
- When the milk froth has been formed, you
can close the steam control (fig. 23).
- Set the steam switch s (L) to position
“off” (fig. 24).
- Then remove the milk jug.
- Move the steam pipe backwards into
position over the grid.
After use
- Switch off by setting the main On/Off switch (J)
to position “off”.
- Slide the container for used ground coffee (U)
out (fig. 25).
- Unscrew the filter holder (fig. 26).
- Tap the filter holder to remove the ground
coffee out of the filter (fig. 27).
- Ensure that there is enough fresh cold water
in the tank.
- Switch on by setting the main On/Off switch (J)
to position “on”. The pilot light comes on.
The appliance is now heating-up (fig. 5).
- Insert the filter (O) into the filter holder (P)
(fig. 6).
If you use ground Espresso coffee, scoop
ground coffee into the filter. Preferably use a
special espresso coffee. Never fill the coffee mill
with ground coffee.
If you use Espresso coffee beans:
- Take the lid (E) from the coffee mill (F). Fill the
coffee mill with Espresso coffee beans (fig. 7).
- Replace the lid (fig. 8). Please note the
correct position. The indications on the lid
correspond with the set granularity (“fineness”)
- If required, set the coffee granularity by turning
the lateral control knob (G) (fig. 9):
∂∂
= coarse, ∂ = fine (please also refer
to “Tips”).
- Push the filter holder against the on/off switch
of the coffee mill (I) (fig. 10). The coffee mill
starts operating and the ground coffee flows
into the filter.
- As soon as there is enough ground coffee in
the filter (for 1 cup filled up to the coffee filter
indentation; for 2 cups to the top), withdraw
the filter holder. Then the coffee mill stops
automatically.
- Press the coffee down using the tamper (R)
(fig. 11).
- If necessary, clean traces of coffee off the edge
of the filter.
- Position the filter holder (fig. 12) and screw in
from left to right (fig. 13).
- Place 1 or 2 Espresso cup(s) (approx. 50 ml)
under the spouts of the filter holder (fig. 14).
- As soon as the pilot light of pump switch k (K)
comes on, you can turn the switch “on” (fig.15).
Hot water will then be pumped through the
ground coffee and after a few seconds the
Espresso coffee will start flowing into the
cup(s) (fig. 16).
- Set pump switch k (K) to position “O” as
soon as there is enough Espresso in the
cup(s) (fig. 17).
- Serve and savour your Espresso right away!
Cappuccino
“Cappuccino” is the Italian name for Espresso
with a little milk and a layer of milk froth.
The froth is made of cold milk in a jug using
- Finish cleaning with a damp cloth (fig. 34).
- Push the outer pipe back into place. Push
firmly to ensure that it fits well at the top
(fig. 35).
Descaling
Descale your Espresso machine regularly.
With normal household use the following rule
applies:
• hardness up to 18° DH - two or three times a
year;
• hardness over 18° DH - four or five times a
year.
Your water supply company can inform you about
the hardness of your water.
- Operate the appliance twice as indicated in
section “Making Espresso”.
However, now use ordinary vinegar to half fill
the water tank and do not fill the filter with
ground coffee.
- To remove any scale that has set in the inside
of the steam pipe, let the appliance produce
vinegar steam for some time.
- To remove all remainders of vinegar and scale,
operate the appliance twice with fresh cold
water in the same manner.
Then clean all removable items.
If the appliance is cleaned and descaled regulary
as indicated in the instructions for use, it will
probably not be necessary to carry out the
following cleaning & descaling procedures.
However, if the performance of the espresso
machine should decline and non of the indicated
measurements (such as bleeding off air!) helps,
some extra cleaning/descaling may be required.
• For very effective descaling first follow the
instructions in section “Descaling” of the
instructions for use. However, interrupt the
descaling procedure once or twice after
pumping and steaming hot vinegar and let the
vinegar act on the scale for at least half an
hour. Then continue the procedure.
• If no more (or too little) hot water comes out
of the outlet opening: clean/descale the
perforated outlet plate.
Switch off and unplug the appliance and let it
cool down. With the help of a screwdriver or
coin unscrew the outlet plate (fig. 36, 37) and
also the valve system will come out. Clean with
a firm brush. To descale, leave the plate and
the valve immersed in ordinary vinegar for min.
15 minutes. Use a brush to remove loose scale
remainders. Rinse with clean water.
Tips
“Wonderful tasty and aromatic Espresso…
and preferably with such a nice brown crest
on top… How do you get that?”
• Use exclusively fresh real Espresso-coffee.
- Try out a number of types of Espresso and find
out which suits your taste best.
• Store the coffee in an air-tight and lightproof
container in a cool and dry environment.
- In special cases please follow the instructions
of the manufacturer of the coffee.
• If ground Espresso is used: from time to time
shake the coffee container. The finer grains
tend to drain to the bottom of the container and
remain there. By shaking from time to time you
maintain even granularity.
• Genuine Espresso-coffee is granulated
properly: Espresso is ground a little more finely
than “fast filter” type coffee used for coffee
makers. When the coffee has been ground
too coarsely, and also when the ground coffee
has not been pressed down sufficiently, the
Espresso will not be tasty and aromatic.
The hot water will be pumped through the
ground coffee too quickly.
On the other hand, when the coffee has been
ground too finely, or pressed down too firmly,
it will take longer for the cup(s) to fill.
The Espresso may become rather bitter in such
a case.
• Use authentic Espresso cups (50 ml), which
you fill between half and three-quarters: that
will give you the right quantity of Espresso.
Cleaning
- Wash the filter, the filter holder, the water tank,
the “Cremacaffé” valve, the drip-basin and grid
regularly.
The drip-basin and grid can be removed as
illustrated in fig. 28 - 30.
- Regularly clean the location for filter holder
connection (N) removing any stuck grains
of coffee.
- Regularly clean the water outlet opening,
removing any stuck grains of coffee.
Always clean the “Cappuccino Extra”
accessory of the steam pipe after making
Cappuccino:
- Remove the outside pipe by pulling in the
direction of the arrow (fig. 31).
- Rinse the outside pipe under the tap (fig. 32).
- Let some steam escape to clean the inner
section (fig. 33).
