How to make a good espresso

• 

Use  only  fresh  ground  coffee  for  “espresso”  coffee 
makers.

• 

Slightly  tamp  the  ground  coffee  in  the  filter  (16), 
you  can  do  it  with  the  back  side  of  the  measuring 
spoon (17).

• 

Coffee strength depends on the quality and grinding 
of coffee beans. 

• 

If  coffee  is  pouring  out  too  long,  this  means  the 
coffee powder is too fine or it is tamped too strongly.

Descaling

For  effective  operation  of  the  coffee  maker  we  recom-
mend  to  remove  scale  every  month  and  more  often 
when using “hard” water.
Regular  descaling  extends  the  coffee  maker  operating 
life and eliminates the necessity for repairing it. 

Untimely  descaling,  non-observance  of  these  instruc-
tions and mishandling the coffee maker are not covered 
by warranty.
1.  Make sure that the unit is switched off and the knob 

(11) is in the «OFF» position. 

2.  Make a citric acid solution (2 teaspoons per 1 liter of 

water) and pour this solution into the water tank (10). 
Cover the tank (10) with the lid (9) and then place it 
on the  coffee maker body.

3.  Insert the filter (16) into the holder (15) (pic. 1).
4.  Attach the filter holder (15) to the boiler without add-

ing coffee into the filter (16) (pic. 2, 3).

5.  Place a suitable cup on the grid (2).
6.  Insert the power plug into the mains socket. 
7.  Switch  the  coffee  maker  on  with  the  button  (6)  

, the button indicator will be flashing.

8.  Wait  till  the  boiler  heats  up  (the  button  (6) 

indicator will stop flashing), and then press the but-
ton (5) 

. 

9.  To descale the steam supply system press the but-

ton (7) 

, the button (7) indicator will be flash-

ing. Wait till the boiler heats up (the button (7) 

indicator will stop flashing).

Troubleshooting

edges of the filter.

Clean the edges of the filter.

Coffee is pouring out into the 
cup too long or is not running 
at all.

The coffee powder is too fine or it is 
tamped too strongly in the filter.

Use ground coffee for “espresso” 
coffee makers.
Define the coffee tampering degree in 
the filter experimentally.

Ready coffee has a foreign 
smell.

Wrong process of scale removal in 
the boiler
Improper storage of coffee

See the chapters «Washing the boiler» 
and «Descaling» and clean the unit 
several times.
Use fresh ground coffee. Keep coffee 
in a dry cool place.

Coffee slops over the edges of 
the filter. 

There’s is too much coffee in the filter 
or the coffee in the filter is tamped 
too strongly.

Do not overfill the filter with excessive 
amount of coffee.

Steam doesn’t froth milk.

Low temperature of the outgoing 
steam.

The tank is too big or of improper 
size.
