Ⅲ. Operation manual

1. "" Power switch: press the primary switch on, the indicator "" ""  "" flashing, the machine starts to warm up, preheating after the 3 lights often on, indicating the machine into the coffee or hot water mode. Press the power switch again during or after the preheating process, and the machine is shut down. If the indicator light "" flashes sharply after starting up, check the steam knob and rotate it clockwise to put it in the off state. (Note: The power switch is in the lower right fuselage)
2. ""Single-cup coffee switch/indicator light: after preheating, touch the single cup coffee switch to start extracting coffee, indicator "" breath flashing, automatic extraction to the machine stop working or extraction process, touch "" stop working, indicator ""  ""  ""  always on.(Automatic extraction time machine is set, including the coffee infiltration time)
3. "" Double cup coffee switch/indicator light: After preheating, touch the double cup switch to start extracting coffee, the indicator light "" breath flashes, automatically extract until the machine stops working or touch "" stop working, the indicator light ""  ""  "" always on.(Automatic extraction time machine is set, including the coffee infiltration time)

After the preheating is completed, the indicator is always on and the machine enters the steam production mode. (During the whole process, if you touch and "" again, the machine is switched from steam mode to the extraction coffee mode, and the indicator lights "" and "" flash, which means that the boiler temperature is too high in coffee mode, which requires natural cooling or manual hot water cooling, and the coffee can only be extracted after the indicator lights "", "" and "" are always lit)
5. Steam knob: The steam knob in the following below is in the closed position. The steam knob is rotated counterclockwise to the maximum position for the open state, when the steam knob is opened in two working states, when the machine is in extraction coffee mode, the steam pipe emits hot water; when the machine is in steam mode, the steam tube emits steam.

• Reminder: When the power is turned on, the steam preheating indicator light "" keeps flashing quickly, which means that the steam knob is not closed, so rotate the steam knob to the closed position.
• First use (important):

1. Unpack and take out the coffee machine, check whether the accessories are complete, and clean all the detachable parts;

2.  Remove the water tank and remove the red silicone cap from the water outlet of the tank.

3. To ensure the first coffee, you need to clean the coffee machine and all removable parts. The specific steps are as follows:

• Fill the tank with water, be careful not to exceed the maximum water level, and then install back to the machine, and cover the tank cover;
• Hold the upper part of the machine by hand, hold the funnel handle, and turn the high-pressure funnel assembly from position "" counterclockwise to position "", without adding the coffee powder to the high-pressure funnel. (High-pressure funnel must be tightened)

• Place the coffee cup on a removable water tray and aim at the coffee outlet.
• Insert the power cord into a grounded socket;
• Press the power switch, at this time all the indicators are flashing, and the machine begins to warm up, after the indicator becomes always on, preheating is completed;

• How to make a good cup of coffee

• The thickness of coffee grinding largely determines the quality of coffee making, if the coffee grinding is too coarse, the coffee extraction is insufficient, the taste will be lighter, the oil will be light, and the color of the oil is white; if the coffee grinding is too fine, the coffee will be too black and the oil will be too little. Good coffee must use fresh beans and freshly ground coffee powder (using a knife grinder). The freshness of the beans is very important, and long periods of storage will decompose the fat of the beans.

1. Use the bean grinder, first, adjust the appropriate grinding thickness, and then pour the fresh coffee beans into the grinding cavity for grinding;
2. Note: Small changes in the fineness of coffee powder will produce large changes in extraction pressure and coffee volume. Please adjust the fineness of the mill by extracting 40-60ml coffee as the reference according to the mill instructions.                                                      
3. It is recommended to weigh the coffee each time to ensure the appropriate amount of coffee powder (single cup: 9-9.5g; double cup: 16-16.5g), and press the coffee powder with a powder press;               
4. The surface of the pressed coffee powder is about 3mm away from the edge of the filter cup (an important indicator). Too high or too low will affect the coffee extraction pressure and effect, please reduce or increase the amount of coffee powder accordingly;    
5. Coffee-making time: 22 seconds single cup; 32 seconds double cup, the machine has set the time;
6. Coffee solution volume: 25-35g per cup; double cup: 40-60g, which can be adjusted by grinding ground coffee powder thickness (important indicator).

• Making the cappuccino coffee

2. Take a special steel cup and pour in 1 / 3 cup of the cold whole-fat pure milk of about 4-8℃; (not hot)
3. Note: Choose the size of the cup, it is recommended that the diameter of the cup is not less than 70 ± 5mm, due to the volume of milk after foaming will increase, making sure the cup has enough height.
4. Touch the steam preheating switch "", and start the steam preheating, the single and double cup coffee indicator light is out, the steam indicator light starts to flash, after the steam light is always on, the preheating steam is completed;
5. Put an empty cup under the steam tube, turn the "steam knob" to the maximum position in a counterclockwise direction, release a little water in the steam tube, and then turn the steam to turn the "steam knob" clockwise to close the steam.
6. Put the special steel cup under the steam pipe nozzle, and let the steam pipe nozzle float under the milk liquid level;
7. Open the steam knob, release the steam, adjust the height of the milk cup, and make the milk bubble;
8. When the milk and foam reach the desired amount, close the knob, the steam stops, pour the foaming milk into the prepared espresso, and the cappuccino is finished. According to their own taste, add the right amount of sugar or cocoa powder on the top;
9. Note: After the steam stops spraying, please immediately clean the steam tube assembly and release the milk in the tube to prevent the foam from scaling on the tube wall. During the operation, because the steam tube surface temperature is very high, you must not be scalded.

• Making the hot water

3. When the hot water reaches the required amount, turn the "steam knob" clockwise to the closed position, and the hot water stops flowing out.
4. Reminder: The hot water function can also be used as a quick cooling function for the coffee machine.
5. Note: When used, watch out for the part of the machine with the higher temperature. Especially the water outlet (the funnel), funnel, and steam pipe. When operating, please do not place your hand in the above part for any reason.

• Heating of the liquid

1. Take a professional steel cup and pour in 1 / 2 cups of cold liquid;
2. Note: to choose the size of the cup, it is recommended that the diameter of the cup is not less than 70 ± 5mm, because it is steam heating
3. Touch the steam switch "", and start the steam preheating, the single and double cup coffee indicator light is out, the steam indicator light starts to flash after the steam light is often on, and the prefabricated steam is completed;
4. Place the steel cup under the steam pipe nozzle and insert the steam pipe nozzle into the liquid;
5. Open the steam knob to release the steam;
6. When the liquid is heated to the desired temperature, close the knob, and the steam stops.
7. Note: After the steam stops spraying, please immediately clean the steam tube assembly and release the liquid in the pipe to prevent the liquid from scaling on the pipe wall. During the operation, due to the high surface temperature of the steam tube, do not be scalded.
