• Place your espresso machine on a stable,
heat resistant surface away from water
splashes and sources of heat such as, an
electrical heating plate or near a flame.
• Ensure the drip tray and drip tray grid are
in place when using the machine.
Before First Use
Espresso
Before using your machine for the first time,
clean the system completely as follows:
• Open the lid and lift out the water container
using the handle (1). Fill the water contai-
ner with fresh, cold water (2).
• Place the water container back into the
machine by positioning it firmly in the water
container compartment (3) and close the
lid.
• Turn on the machine by pressing button
(N) (4). The pump will work for 2 seconds
to fill the system with hot water for a cup a
hot coffee from the start.
• As soon as the appliance reaches the
right temperature, the orange temperature
control light switches off.
• Your espresso maker is equipped with
three filters designed for 1 cup, or for 2
cups of espresso using ground coffee,
or for E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso)
pods. The first comes in the filter holder
(I), the other two are found in the ap-
pliance's transport packaging.
• Choose the filter that you wish to use and
place it in the filter holder (5). Store the 2
others in the espresso lid (A).
• Then place the filter holder under the
appliance's brewing head. To ensure that
the filter holder is in the correct position,
turn the handle so it points to the left at a
45 degree angle (6), place the filter holder
flat against the brewing head, then turn the
handle towards the right (7) as far as it can
go.
• Place a container, as large as possible,
beneath the filter holder (8).
The machine is ready to operate.
• By turning the control button to the right
(O) to espresso mode; the water will flow
through the pipes of the appliance (9).

Using the various functions of
your espresso machine
1. MAKING ESPRESSO
The appliance will pre-brew the coffee
before making each cup in order to bring out
the full flavour for a satisfying cup of coffee.
The pump will work for 3 seconds, stop for
3 seconds, then continue with the cycle until
the end of the process.
. WITH GROUND COFFEE
For best results, we recommend that you
first pre-heat the accessories (filter holder,
filters and cups) without putting in ground
coffee. To do this:
• Fill the water container with fresh, cold
water (1) (2) (3) and turn on the machine
(4).
• Put the filter holder and an empty filter in
place (6) (7), and place the espresso cups
underneath.
• As soon as the appliance reaches the
right temperature, the orange temperature
control light switches off.
• Turn the control button (O) to espresso
mode (9). Take the pre-brewing into ac-
count.
• The cups will fill with hot water. Once filled,
turn the button (O) back to the central
position and empty the cups.
After making your first espresso and the
machine is warmed, the espresso cups can
then be pre-heated on the cup warming
plate.
. Preparing an espresso:
• Fill the water container (1) (2) (3) and turn
on the machine (4).
• Put the filter for one or two cups into the
filter holder (5).
• Place some ground coffee in the filter (1
or 2 measuring scoops), and then tamp it
down firmly; the coffee should reach the lip
of the filter (11) (12).
