BEFORE THE FIRST USE
(MUST DO before you install your machine for regular use or aft
er long periods of unuse)
To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent,you should flush the internal water pathways of the coffee
maker with hot water as follows:
STEP 1.
Pour water into water tank, the water level should not exceed the “MAX” mark in the tank.
Note:this tank is detachable and can be pulled out for easy cleaning.
STEP 2.
Set the portafilter basket into the portafilter (4). Do not fill with coffee. Insert the portafilter into the
brewing head and lock it in place - The principle is similar to the locking of the cover of a pressure cooker,
only in the case of an espresso coffee maker it is upside down and anti clockwise
STEP 3.
Place an empty cup on the drip tray (8) below the portafilter.Make sure the steam control knob (11) is in
the minimum position and the Temparature button (2) is toggled to the Brew postion
STEP 4. Connect to power source, turn the mains power button (1.) to on
, the power indicator light will illuminate.
Wait a few minutes until the temparature indicator light illuminates in a green color. This indicates that
water is heated up to the brew temparature and the machine is ready for an espresso. Press down the pump control button (3.) to start the flow of wa

ter. A whirring sound will be heard
indicating that the pump is functioning and drawing water from the water tank. Water will begin to flow
from the portafilter and fall into the cup. You can stop the flow of water by pressing the pump control
button and bringing it back to standby position.
Note: There may be noise when pumping the water for the first me, This is normal, since the air is being
released from the pump and this results in a loude whirring sound. Aer about 30 seconds, the noise will
reduce to a normal humming sound.
STEP 6.
For Steaming, toggle the temparature control button to steam position to begin heating up the water to
a higher temperature. The green light will turn off and in a few minutes turn on again indicating a higher
temperature has been reached to allow steaming.
STEP 7.
VERY GENTLY, turn the steam knob anticlockwise, releasing the s
team through the steam wand.
There will be a sharp release of hot water at first, followed by steam.
Note: Never turn the steam control buon rapidly, as the steam will gush out with for
ce which may
increase the potenal risk of burns.

PRE HEATING
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROCEDURE TO ENSURE PERFECT RESULTS EVERYT
IME. ALWAYS PERFORM THIS
PROCEDURE BETWEEN CONSECUTIVE ESPRESSO SHOTS AND ESPECIALLY AFTER SWITCHING FROM
STEAMING TO BREWING TEMPARATURE.
To make a good cup of Espresso, correct temparature is of prime importance.
Preheating is a procedure to ensure optimum water temparatures for that perfect tasting espresso.
Preheating simply means releasing some hot water through an empty portafilter basket. This allows fresh
water from the tank to flow into the boiler, bringing the temparature down and firing up the heater coil to
begin maintaining the water temparature to the programmed setting. This is temparature regulation.Also,
the hot water keeps the portafilter basket warm so that the coffee powder which you place in it also absorbs
some of the heat before coming in contact with the hot water from the boiler. This adds to the flavour of the
espresso shot. We recommend to follow the preheating procedure everytime you make an espresso shot
and inbetween espresso shots as well as well as after an overnight shutoff or after long periods during the
day. Preheating is extremely important after switching from steam to brewing temparatures. Always
preheat the coffee maker after you have finished steaming and the temparature button has been toggled
to brew.

STEP 1.
For preheating, repeat steps 1 to 5 as listed in Section B - 'Before The First Use'.
SECTION E
MAKING AN ESPRESSO
STEP 1.
After Preheating, remove the portafilter by turning it in clockwise(right to left), clamp the basket to prevent
it from falling off and turn the portafilter down to remove excess water from the basket. Add coffee powder
to the basket with the measuring spoon provided, then tightly press the ground coffee powder using the
tamping disc on the opposite end of the spoon to compact the powder. For a single espresso shot, use the
single espresso portafilter basket and fill with one spoon (flattened, not heaped)of coffee powder.
For a double shot of espresso, fill the basket with two spoons (flattened, not heaped) and place two espresso
cups below the portafilter, one below each spout
STEP 2.
Insert the portafilter into the brewing head as explained above.
STEP 3.
For a single shot, place an empty cup below the portafit
er in the centre, such that the brew from both
spouts will fall into the cup. For a double shot, place two cups side by side, one below each spout such that
the brew from each spout falls into the respective cup.
STEP 4.
Make sure the brew/steam button is in the brew mode and the temparature indicator light has turned green
(photo). The green light indicates the temperature is ideal for brewing. Now, start the pump to allow water
to be pumped through the portafilter. In a few seconds, the coffee will start flowing out from the Portafilter.
Note: During brewing coffee or making steam, it is normal that the green indicator in the temparature
buon is likely to intermiently turn off and turn green again, it only means that the heater coil is working

to keep the temperature at the desired range.

STEP 5.
Stop the pump by pressing the pump button again after ab
out 30ml of coffee has poured out.
30ml of coffee is an ideal espresso shot from one spoon (about 7-8 grams of ground coffee powder ).
Twice the quantity for a double espresso i.e. 60 ml from two spoons (about 16 grams of coffee powder).
STEP 6.
Release the portafilter from the brewing head, discard the used coffee powder residue, rinse the steel mesh
and you are ready to make your next espresso.

ion.
STEP 3.
The green light will turn off and light up again after a
bout a minute indicating that the machine is ready to
generate steam. Toggling the temparature button to steam triggers the boiler to raise the water temparature
for steam generation and the green light switches off from the brew position and comes on again after the
higher temparature has been achieved.
STEP 4.
Fill a small jug (preferably a frothing jug) with the d
esired quantity to milk (usually 50 to 100ml depending
on personal choice). Always fill jug maximum halfway, since the frothing is going to raise the volume of the
milk considerably.
STEP 5.
Place the jug below the steam wand such that the steam
wand is inserted into the milk to a depth of about
2cms from the top. VERY GENTLY turn the steam knob anticlockwise, releasing the steam into the milk.
Gently raise and lower the jug allowing the steam to enter throughout the volume of the milk. Place the tip
of the wand just below the surface of the milk for extra froth. With the little practice, you will get knack of
perfect frothing.
Note: Never turn the steam control buon rapidly, as the steam will gush out with force which may
increase the potenal risk of burns.
Note :There is an inial release of water (about 5-10 ml) from the steam wand before the steam starts to
come out.
STEP 6.
When the required purpose is reached, you can turn the
steam control knob to the minimum position
(see fig.2) and toggle the temparature control button back to the brew position to avoid overheating.

PURGING EXPLAINED IN DETAIL
Purging is the procedure to clean the insides of the steam wand

after frothing milk, with the purpose of
eliminating any droplets of milk that might have entered the steam tip during frothing. This is extremely
important to prevent the formation of milk solids in the steam tip and prevent clogging as well as to
eliminate the risk of bacteria. When you turn off the steam knob to stop the flow of steam after frothing is
completed, a vaccum is created in the steam wand which draws in a little amount of milk. This is what we
attempt to clean by purging.Make sure the portafilter (empty or filled with coffee) is loaded into the
brewing head when performing the purging procedure.
