Assembly

Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and
accessories before discarding the packaging. Remove the packaging and the plastic bags containing the water filter and water filter
holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter basket, jug) using warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

• Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
• Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
• Wash the filter holder with cold water.
• Set the reminder for the next replacement. We recommend replacing the filter after 3 months.
• Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.
• To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place. Fill the water tank with cold water before sliding it back into position at the back of the machine and locking it into place.

SETTING GRIND SIZE

Selecting Your Filter Basket

Choose and insert the Filter Basket into the Portafilter for the number of coffees or strength you are making. Use the Single Cup Filter Basket for making a single cup or a weaker-tasting espresso. Use the Double Cup Filter Basket for making 2 cups or a stronger-tasting espresso, usually for mugs or larger cups. See ‘TIPS’ for a more detailed guide. In the touchscreen, select the chosen filter basket by touching the toggle option under the ‘Grind’ button. The grind size will affect the rate of water flow through the coffee in the filter basket and the flavor of the espresso. When setting the grind size, it should be fine but not too fine and powdery. When trying a new coffee, it may take 2 or 3 tries to identify the correct grind size for your coffee.
There are numbered settings on the touchscreen. The smaller the number, the finer the grind size. The larger the number, the coarser the grind size

Automatic Dosing

• Ensure the hopper is locked into position and is filled with fresh coffee beans.
• Ensure the filter basket is completely dry before placing the portafilter into the grinding cradle.
• Touch the ‘Grind’ button once, or push and release the portafilter to engage the grinding activation switch. Then allow fresh ground coffee to fill the portafilter.
• Grinding will automatically stop; however, if you wish to stop grinding before the cycle has finished, push and release the portafilter.

Manual Dosing

• If you prefer to manually dose, with the portafilter inserted in the grinding cradle, push and hold the portafilter to engage the
  grinding activation switch. Continue holding until the desired amount of ground coffee has been dosed.
• To stop grinding, release the portafilter. This will release the grinding activation switch and stop the grinding function.n

Tamping the Ground Coffee

• Once grinding is complete, carefully withdraw the portafilter from the grinding cradle.
• Tap the portafilter several times to collapse and distribute the coffee evenly in the filter basket.
• Tamp down firmly using approx. 30–40lbs (15–20kgs) of pressure. The amount of pressure is not as important as consistent pressure every time.
• As a guide to dose, the top edge of the metal cap on the tamper should be level with the top of the filter basket AFTER the coffee has been tamped.

EXTRACTION GUIDE

• The flow starts after 8–12 seconds.
• Flow slowly like warm honey.
• Crema is golden brown with a fine mousse texture
• Espresso is dark brown

• The flow starts after 1–7 seconds.
• Flow fast like water.r

blockages. Without ground coffee in the filter basket, lock the
portafilter into the machine and run hot water through.

Care & Cleaning

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

1. Set the current month.h
2. Assemble water filter parts
3. Ensure parts are connected
4. Install the filter in the tank
5. Fill the tank and wait for 5 minutes to soak the filter
6. Install water tank
7. Replace the filter after 90 days or after 40L (10 US GAL)

The provided water filter helps prevent scale build-up in and on many of the inner functioning components. Replacing the water filter after three months or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to descale the machine. The limitation of 10.6 USgal / 40L is based on water hardness level 4. If you are in the level 2 area, you can increase this to 16 USgal / 60L.

CLEANING CYCLE
There will be a message prompt when a cleaning cycle is required. This is a back-flushing cycle and is separate from descaling. Follow the instructions on the screen.

DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral buildup in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the machine, and taste of the espresso. Even if you used the provided water filter, we recommend that you describe whether there is a separate water tank. Go to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Descale cycle’. Follow the instructions on the screen.

CLEANING THE CONICAL BURR GRINDER

This grinder cleaning cycle removes oil build-up on the burrs which can impede performance.

1. Unlock hopper
2. Empty hopper
3. Replace hopper

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

• The steam wand should always be cleaned after texturing milk. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
• If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, it may reduce frothing performance.
• Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Steam wand cleaning’ and follow the guide on the screen.

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKETS AND PORTAFILTER

• The filter baskets and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water immediately after use to remove all residual coffee oils.
• If any of the holes in the filter basket become blocked, use the pin on the end of the provided cleaning tool to unblock the hole(s).
• If the hole(s) remain blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak the filter basket and portafilter in the solution for approx. 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN
