water container.
- Once filled, replace the container in
the appliance by its handle and push it

●
watched and, if necessary, the
container must be refilled in good
time.

●
in air from the empty water container,
fill the water container first with the
indicated maximum amount of water.
When 'bleeding'
afterwards, it may take a few

the seals in the outlet at the bottom of
the water container and the seals
around the valves to leak. Check the
seals carefully each time the water
container is inserted and, if necessary,
carefully remove any existing
deposits.

appliance by means of a bayonet type
locking socket. When attaching the
filter holder, its grip handle must be
facing to the left of the boiler outlet

holder firmly as far as possible to the
left, i.e. in an anti-clockwise direction
(picture II).
- To unlock and remove the filter
holder, turn it to the right, i.e.
clockwise.

the appliance is in use, since the filter
holder is under pressure.

and press it down lightly. Any
excess coffee powder on the rim of
the filter holder must be removed.
