Using the control panel
Power
Press the ‘POWER’ button once to turn the
espresso machine on. The light above the
‘POWER’ button will illuminate green and
start flashing; this is to indicate that your
espresso machine is on and is heating up.
Note: Before turning on the espresso machine
ensure that the steam and hot water control
dials are in the OFF position.
When the green light above the ‘POWER’
button stops flashing and turns to a constant
red light, this indicates that the espresso
machine is heated and ready to use. The
lights above the ‘MANUAL’, single and
double espresso buttons will also show a
constant green light.
To turn the espresso machine off, simply
press the ‘POWER’ button, the red power
light and all other lights on the control panel
will turn off.
Manual
The ‘MANUAL’ button allows the coffee
maker to have complete control over the
length of the espresso pour.
Once the espresso machine is switched on
and heated, so the light above the ‘POWER’
button is red and the lights above the
‘MANUAL’, single and
double espresso
buttons show a constant green light, the
coffee maker is able to use the manual
operation. The coffee maker simply needs to
press to the ‘MANUAL’ button once to start
the pour and again to stop.
Important: Once the manual operation is
activated, before the espresso pour starts the
pre-infusion feature will release three short
bursts of gradual water pressure onto the
coffee cake. After this the full water pressure
is applied and the espresso will pour freely.
Note: When the coffee maker has activated
the manual operation the lights above the
single and
double espresso buttons will
go off. The lights above the ‘POWER’ and
‘MANUAL’ buttons will remain on.
Single Espresso
The single espresso function removes the
guesswork and is programmed to pour 35mls
of liquid espresso.
Tip: We recommend using the single cup
filter when using the programmed single
espresso operation.
Once the espresso machine is switched on
