FLUSHING THE GROUPHEAD
WARNING:
Hot water and steam escape from the grouphead. Do not hold your
hands or other body parts under the grouphead, when the appliance is turned on.
Before inserting the portafilters at the grouphead, you should pipe some water
through the grouphead to rinse the grouphead.
1. Insert the power plug into the outlet and press the ›on/off‹-switch to turn on the
aapliance. The power indicator lights red. During preheating the heating indi-
cator lights red. Once the appliance is ready for use, the heating indicator turns
off.
2. Place an empty cup or a mug under the grouphead on the drip tray.
3. Turn the selector switch to the right onto the espresso position (without the porta-
filter). The appliance produces a pumping sound. First steam and then hot water
escape from the grouphead. Rinse the goup head. To stop the purging, turn the
selector switch back to the ›standby‹-position (center).
PRE-HEATING THE CUPS
Once the appliance is turned on, the heating plate on the top of the appliance is
heated. Place your cups onto the heating plate to preheat your cups. Thus coffee
does not cool off when running into the cup.
INSERTING THE PORTAFILTER
1. Grasp the portafilter with the filter filled at the black
handle and hold the portafilter under the grouphead. The
handle has to point obliquely to the left front at about a
45 ° angle.
2. Turn the portafilter so far to the right as possible (Lock
labeled with at the grouphead). The portafilter is thereby locked into the appli-
ance.
BREWING THE ESPRESSO
Once the appliance has reached the operating temperature, the heating indicator
turns off.
Note:
If the appliance is an extended time in standby position the heating indicator
begins to light up in between. If the temperature decreases in the grouphead, the
heater will automatically switch on again to maintain a constant operating tempe-
rature. Once the operating temperature is reached, the heating indicator turns off.
The appliance is back in standby position.
