In order to release all the aromas of the coffee and ensure your complete satisfaction, this machine pre-
infuses each coffee. The pump works for 3 seconds, stops the following 3 seconds and then the cycle
continues until the end of the preparation.
PREHEATING THE ACCESSORIES
For the best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder and cups) without
espresso ground coffee. To do so:

As soon as the appliance reaches the required temperature, the "on/off" light stops flashing and the "1
cup" and "2 cups" buttons light up.
n Then press the "1 cup" or "2 cups" button (fig. 8 or 9).
n Once the cup or cups are filled with hot water, remove them.
n unlock the filter holder: press "OPEN" while turning the filter holder to the left and remove it from the
machine. (fig.10).
WITH GROUND COffEE
The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso. Always
use espresso ground coffee. Do not use instant coffee, cafetiere coffee or filter coffee.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the preheating of the appliance,
the light flashes.
n using the measuring spoon, place the espresso ground coffee in the filter holder: one spoon (full to
the brim) per cup (fig.5).
n remove any excess espresso ground coffee from the edge of the filter.
Important: Do not tamp the coffee down in the filter holder. The coffee is automatically
tamped using the KTS "Krups Tamping System".
