CAUTION! Do not use the espresso machine, when the tank (1) is empty. Before brewing coffee it is vital to check

whether there is any water in the tank (1). Do not fill the tank (1) with hot water. Due to hygienic reasons do not

leave any water in the tank for longer periods.

CAUTION! Remember to avoid low levels of water level in the tank (1). In such a case the machine will stop

working, give out a sound signal, which will end only if the tank is filled (1), furthermore the no-water indicator

will flash on the display panel.

5. Warming up the cups

Using a cup warmed up to a certain temperature before brewing coffee increases the taste of the coffee itself and creates

a thick froth on its surface.

The machines gives you two ways of warming up a cup. The first one is to warm it by means of hot water coming out of

the steam/hot water nozzle (11) acting accordingly to paragraph 14.

The second way is to place the cups before the coffee brewing process on the cup-warming plate (2) situated at the top of

the espresso machine.
