2. Belangrike veiligheidsinstruksies
Wanneer elektriese toestelle gebruik word, moet basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls altyd gevolg word om die risiko van brand, elektriese skok en/of besering aan persone te verminder, insluitend die volgende:
- Lees alle instruksies.
- Moenie aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie. Gebruik handvatsels of knoppe.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or espresso machine in water or other liquid.
- Noukeurige toesig is nodig wanneer enige toestel deur of naby kinders gebruik word.
- Trek uit die stopcontact wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie en voor skoonmaak. Laat afkoel voor jy onderdele aan- of afhaal, en voordat jy die toestel skoonmaak.
- Moenie enige toestel gebruik met 'n beskadigde koord of prop of nadat die toestel wanfunksioneer, of op enige manier beskadig is nie. Stuur toestel terug na die naaste gemagtigde diensfasiliteit vir ondersoek, herstel of aanpassing.
- Die gebruik van bykomstighede wat nie deur die toestelvervaardiger aanbeveel word nie, kan brand, elektriese skok of beserings aan persone tot gevolg hê.
- Moenie buite gebruik nie.
- Moenie dat koord oor die rand van tafel of toonbank hang, of aan warm oppervlaktes raak nie.
- Moenie op of naby 'n warm gas- of elektriese brander, of in 'n verhitte oond plaas nie.
- Koppel altyd eers die prop aan die toestel, en steek dan die koord in die muursok. Om te ontkoppel, draai enige beheer na "af" en verwyder dan die prop uit die muursok.
- Moenie die toestel vir ander as die bedoeling gebruik nie.
- Brandwonde kan voorkom as die deksel van die waterreservoir tydens die brousiklus verwyder word.
- Hierdie toestel is slegs vir huishoudelike gebruik.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies
5.1 Maak Espresso
- Voorverhit: Ensure the machine is powered on and fully heated (lights solid). Place your espresso cup on the warming tray at the top of the machine to preheat it.
- Berei Portafilter voor: Insert either the single or double shot filter basket into the portafilter.
- Maal Koffie: Maal vars koffiebone tot 'n fyn konsekwentheid wat geskik is vir espresso.
- Dosis Koffie: Fill the filter basket with ground coffee. For a single shot, use approximately 7-8 grams. For a double shot, use approximately 14-16 grams.
- Tamp: Gebruik die ingeslote tamper to press the coffee grounds firmly and evenly into the basket. A consistent, level tamp is noodsaaklik vir behoorlike ekstraksie.
- Heg Portafilter aan: Wipe any excess grounds from the rim of the portafilter. Align the portafilter with the group head on the machine and twist firmly to the right until it is securely locked in place.
- Posisiebeker: Place your preheated espresso cup(s) on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts. The double-drip tray can be adjusted to fit various cup heights.
- Brou Espresso: Press the single shot button (for one shot) or the double shot button (for two shots). The machine will automatically dispense the correct volume of espresso.
- Geniet: Once brewing is complete, remove your cup(s) and enjoy your espresso.

5.2 Gebruik van die melkskuimer (stoompen)
The powerful steam wand allows you to create creamy froth and microfoam for lattes, cappuccinos, and other milk-based drinks.
- Berei melk voor: Fill the stainless steel milk jug with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) to just below the spout.
- Aktiveer Steam: Ensure the machine is heated. Turn the steam/hot water knob to the "steam" position. The steam light will flash while heating and become solid when ready.
- Stoomspuitstuk skoonmaak: Plaas die stoompyp oor die drupbak en maak die stoomknop kortliks oop om enige kondenswater vry te laat. Maak die knop toe.
- Skuimmelk: Immerse the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk in the jug. Open the steam knob fully.
- Skep skuim: Hold the jug at an angle, moving it slightly up and down to incorporate air and create foam. As the milk heats and expands, lower the jug to keep the tip just below the surface.
- Verhit melk: Once desired foam is achieved, immerse the wand deeper into the milk to heat it to the desired temperature (typically 140-150°F / 60-65°C).
- Stop stoom: Close the steam knob, then remove the milk jug.
- Skoonmaakstok: Vee die stoompyp onmiddellik met advertensie afamp lap om enige melkreste te verwyder. Maak die stoomknop weer kortliks oop om enige melk uit die stoompijp te kry.

6. Onderhoud en Skoonmaak
Gereelde skoonmaak en onderhoud sal die lang lewensduur en optimale werkverrigting van jou espressomasjien verseker.
6.1 Daaglikse skoonmaak
- Portafilter en Filtermandjies: After each use, remove the portafilter, discard the coffee grounds, and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under warm water. Use a brush to remove any stubborn coffee residue.
- Lekbak: Empty and rinse the drip tray and grid daily or when the indicator floats up.
- Stoomstaaf: Always wipe and purge the steam wand immediately after frothing milk to prevent milk from drying inside.
- Buitekant: Vee die buitekant van die masjien af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Moenie skuurskoonmakers of skuursponsies gebruik nie.
6.2 Skoonmaak van Waterreservoirs
Clean the water reservoir periodically with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure no soap residue remains before refilling with fresh water.
6.3 Ontkalking
Mineral deposits from water can build up inside the machine over time, affecting performance. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
- Gebruik 'n kommersiële ontkalkingsoplossing wat spesifiek vir espressomasjiene ontwerp is, volgens die vervaardiger se instruksies.
- Alternatiewelik kan jy 'n oplossing van wit asyn en water gebruik (1 deel asyn tot 2 dele water).
- Vul die waterreservoir met die ontkalkingsoplossing.
- Plaas 'n groot houer onder die portafilter en stoompyp.
- Run several cycles of hot water through the portafilter and steam wand until the reservoir is empty.
- Rinse the reservoir thoroughly and refill with fresh water.
- Run several cycles of fresh water through the machine to flush out any remaining descaling solution.
7. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Geen watervloei nie. | Water reservoir empty; machine not primed; blockage. | Fill reservoir; prime the machine; descale if necessary. |
| Espresso brou te stadig of glad nie. | Koffie gemaal te fyn; koffie tamped too hard; filter basket clogged. | Gebruik growwer maal;amp with less pressure; clean filter basket. |
| Espresso brou te vinnig. | Coffee ground too coarse; not enough coffee; coffee tamped te lig. | Gebruik fyner maal; verhoog koffiedosis; tamp met meer druk. |
| Stoompyp produseer nie stoom nie. | Machine not heated to steam temperature; wand clogged. | Wait for steam light to be solid; clean and purge steam wand. |
| Water lek uit masjien. | Waterreservoir nie korrek geplaas nie; drupbak vol. | Ensure reservoir is secure; empty drip tray. |
