Start Up
  1. Remove packaging and stored items from the water tank and box.
  2. Fill Water Tank
  3. Connect Power Cord
  4. Fit the Filter Holder [Portafilter] with filter basket
  5. Switch on Machine using the on/off switch at the front of the machine. [left switch]
  6. Prime the machine : press middle button [coffee button] and open the steam wand. When water starts to come through the steam wand, [you will also see water coming from the brew head] close the wand with the coffee button still pressed in. When water comes through the brew head freely, stop coffee button.
  7. Wait for about 45 seconds to a minute, or until the coffee light turn on. This means that the brew temperature has reached around 70 degrees. The light remains on until it reaches about 90degrees, when it will go off. The thermostat for the coffee will keep the temperature surfing between 70 and 90 degrees.
  8. Run some water through the brewing head to warm the filter basket.
  9. The machine is ready for use.
  10. Brew a coffee, using finely ground coffee in the filter basket. If you are using the perfect crema basket - [the one with one hole at the bottom], you can use a ground coffee that is not too fine.
  11. If you are using the 16g traditional basket, you need a very finely ground coffee to get the right extraction.
