heating system once by filling the tank.

section "Making an espresso" and
"Frothing milk", but without placing
any ground coffee in the filter. Place a
container that is as large as possible in
the middle of the drip grating
30
(figure 1/T) and under the steam
nozzle (figure 1/H).

Making an espresso

After having been brewed, the espresso
should be covered with a dense frothy
layer, the so-called crema.
To achieve an aromatic espresso with
crema, fresh, clear water, the correct
size grounds and the water
temperature are important.
1. Adding water (Figure 2)
0 Pull the water tank upwards and out of
the appliance (figure 2).
0 Open the tank lid.
0 Fill the water tank with cold, clear
water only.
Ensure that the water line does not lie
below the MIN (minimum) line or
above the MAX (maximum) line.
0 Close the tank lid.
0 Replace the water tank and press it
downwards so that it is sitting firmly in
the appliance (figure 2).
3 You can also lift the tank lid and fold it
to the side. This enables you to fill the
water tank directly when it is in the
appliance, e.g. with a jug.
2. Switching on the appliance /
preheating cups
0 Switch the appliance on using the on/
off switch (figure 1/A). The power
indicator (figure 1/C, red) and the
temperature indicator (figure 1/D,
orange) will illuminate.
As soon as the operating temperature
has been attained, the temperature
indicator will go out. The temperature
indicator may illuminate again while
the appliance is being used to indicate
that the appliance is re-heating.
You can place one or more cups with
the opening facing downwards on the
cup storage area (figure 1/E).
