2. Vigtige sikkerhedsforanstaltninger
Ved brug af elektriske apparater skal grundlæggende sikkerhedsforanstaltninger altid følges for at reducere risikoen for brand, elektrisk stød og/eller personskade, herunder følgende:
- Læs alle instruktioner.
- Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag eller knopper.
- For at beskytte mod brand, elektrisk stød og personskade må ledning, stik eller apparat ikke nedsænkes i vand eller anden væske.
- Tæt opsyn er nødvendigt, når et apparat bruges af eller i nærheden af børn.
- Træk stikket ud af stikkontakten, når det ikke er i brug, og før rengøring. Lad det køle af, før du sætter dele på eller af, og før du rengør apparatet.
- Betjen ikke noget apparat med en beskadiget ledning eller stik, eller efter at apparatet ikke fungerer korrekt eller er blevet beskadiget på nogen måde.
- Brug af tilbehør, der ikke er anbefalet af apparatets producent, kan resultere i brand, elektrisk stød eller personskade.
- Må ikke bruges udendørs.
- Lad ikke ledningen hænge ud over kanten af bordet eller bordpladen eller røre ved varme overflader.
- Må ikke placeres på eller i nærheden af en varm gas- eller elektrisk brænder eller i en opvarmet ovn.
- Sæt altid stikket i apparatet først, og sæt derefter ledningen i stikkontakten. For at afbryde forbindelsen skal du dreje en hvilken som helst knap til 'OFF' og derefter tage stikket ud af stikkontakten.
- Brug ikke apparatet til andet end tilsigtet brug.

- Placer en kop under portafilterets tud (uden kaffe).
- Turn on the machine by pressing the power button. The indicator lights will illuminate.
- Once the machine reaches operating temperature (indicator light stops flashing), press the espresso brewing button to run water through the group head for about 30 seconds.
- Turn the steam knob to release steam for about 15-20 seconds to prime the steam wand.
- Repeat this process 2-3 times to ensure the system is fully primed and clean.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Fremstilling af espresso
- Fyld vandtank: Sørg for, at vandtanken er fyldt med frisk, koldt vand.
- Forvarm: Turn on the machine. Allow it to preheat until the indicator light for brewing stops flashing, indicating it has reached the optimal temperature (approximately 198°F).
- Tilbered kaffegrums: Grind fresh coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso. For a single shot, use 13-14g of coffee; for a double shot, use 17g.
- Load Portafilter: Place the appropriate filter basket (single or double shot) into the portafilter. Add the ground coffee using the dosing funnel to prevent spills.
- Tamp: Brug tampfor at presse kaffegrumsen fast og jævnt. Sørg for, at overfladen er plan.
- Fastgør portafilter: Securely attach the portafilter to the group head by inserting it and rotating it to the right until it is tight.
- Placeringspokal: Position your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts. The machine also features a cup warming area on top.
- Start udtrækning: Press the espresso brewing button. The machine will begin extracting espresso.
- Overvåg trykmåler: Observe the visible pressure gauge during extraction. The ideal pressure range for perfect extraction is typically 8-12 Bar.

Billede 5.1: The visible pressure gauge helps monitor extraction. Less than 8 Bar indicates insufficient extraction, 8-12 Bar is perfect, and over 12 Bar indicates over-extraction.

Billede 5.2: The pre-infusion function ensures smoother water flow and preserves coffee purity by gradually increasing pressure, reducing air bubbles for a balanced extraction.

Billede 5.3: Achieving an Italian 'Gold Cup' espresso is facilitated by the machine's stable 198°F water temperature, 15 Bar pressure system, and pre-infusion feature.
5.2 Mælkeskumning
The powerful steam system allows you to create delicate milk foam for lattes and cappuccinos.
- Forbered mælk: Fill the stainless steel milk frothing pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) up to one-third full.
- Aktiver Steam: Press the steam button. Wait for the steam indicator light to stop flashing, indicating the machine has reached steaming temperature.
- Rens damprør: Placer dampdysen over drypbakken, og åbn kort dampknappen for at tømme eventuelt kondensvand ud. Luk knappen.
- Skummælk: Immerse the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk in the pitcher. Open the steam knob fully.
- Lav skum: Keep the wand tip near the surface to create foam, then lower it slightly to heat the milk. Continue until the milk reaches desired temperature and texture.
- Stop med at dampe: Luk dampknappen, og fjern kanden.
- Rengør damprør: Tør straks dampdysen af med en damppistol.amp klud for at fjerne eventuelle mælkerester. Åbn kort dampknappen igen for at fjerne eventuel mælk fra indersiden af stangen.

Billede 5.4: The machine features a powerful 360° universal steam wand, capable of producing 26g/min of high-pressure steam for effective milk frothing.
6. Rengøring og vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig rengøring og vedligeholdelse sikrer din espressomaskines lange levetid og optimale ydeevne.
6.1 Daglig rengøring
- Portafilter og filterkurve: After each use, remove the portafilter, discard coffee grounds, and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under hot water. Wipe clean.
- Dampstang: Tør altid dampdysen af umiddelbart efter opskumning af mælk medamp cloth. Briefly purge steam to clear any internal residue.
- Drypbakke: Empty and rinse the drip tray daily. Wipe the drip tray grid.
- Vandtank: Skyl vandtanken dagligt og fyld den op med frisk vand.
- Ydre: Tør maskinens ydre af med en blød, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller skuresvampe.
6.2 Afkalkning
Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in the machine, affecting performance and taste. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
- Forbered afkalkningsopløsning: Mix a commercial descaling solution with water according to the product instructions, or use a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio). Fill the water tank with this solution.
- Kør løsning: Place a large container under the group head and steam wand. Turn on the machine. Once heated, run half of the descaling solution through the group head by pressing the espresso button.
- Afkalkning med damprør: Open the steam knob and run the remaining solution through the steam wand until the tank is empty.
- Skylle: Fill the water tank with fresh, clean water. Run several full tanks of clean water through both the group head and steam wand to thoroughly rinse out any descaling solution.
