2. phase: Espresso extraction (brewing phase)
In the second phase, the pressure is continually increased. The extraction pres-
sure is ideal when the pressure needle indicates a value somewhere in the
OPTIMAL range.
The needle is in the PRE INFUSION range throughout the extraction phase:
If the needle is in the PRE INFUSION range during extraction, the water is forced
through the portafilter at insufficient pressure (too quickly). The coffee turns
out watery and has a lightly coloured or not enough crema and may taste acid.
Reasons for this might be: too coarsely ground coffee, insufficient amount of
ground coffee in the portafilter, the ground coffee has not been tamped firmly
GB
enough or too old ground coffee.
The needle is in the red area throughout the extraction phase:
If the needle is in the red area during extraction, the water is forced through the
portafilter at excessive pressure (too slowly). The coffee turns out bitter and has
a dotted or irregular crema. Reasons for this might be: too finely ground coffee,
too much ground coffee in the portafilter or the ground coffee has been tamped
too firmly.

Use the rotary wheel to adjust the grind size of the coffee beans. Settings be-
tween 1 and 11 are possible. The higher the number, the coarser the grind will
be. This means that the grind is finest in the setting 1 and coarsest in the setting
11. We recommend starting with the setting 8 and experimenting with different
settings to determine which grind size you like the best. The grind size has a
crucial effect on the taste and the crema of the espresso.
CAUTION: The grind size must only be adjusted while the grinder is running.
Turn the rotary wheel to the left for a coarser grind (
finer grind (
).
NOTE: After the grind size is adjusted, the coffee powder is not immediately
ejected in the newly selected grind size. This is because there will always be pre-
viously ground coffee remaining in the ejection channel. Therefore, you should
use the grinding function a few times before changing the setting again.

Carefully take the appliance out of its packaging and remove all stickers, labels
(except for the type plate) and packaging materials.
Take all accessories out of the packaging and remove all accessories from the
appliance.
Remove the water tank. Never lift the water tank just by its lid. Instead, take hold
of it on both sides to lift it up.
Clean the water tank with the lid, the tampers
and the filter inserts as well as the portafilter,
the milk jug and the lid of the bean container
with warm water and some mild liquid dish-
washing soap. After that, rinse with clear water
and dry.
Wipe the chassis of the espresso machine, the
inside and outside of the bean container and
the drip tray with the drip grid with a soft,
slightly moist towel and dry everything.
Make sure that the steam / hot water control is turned shut, meaning it is set to

the position in the centre (
-position).
CAUTION: The chassis of the espresso machine, the grinder, the power cord
and the power plug must never be submerged in water or any other liquids
or come into contact with them!
NOTE: The parts of the espresso machine and the accessories are not dish-
washer safe.

Thanks to the Solis water filter, the limestone deposits in the espresso machine are
reduced, increasing the life cycle of the machine and improving the performance
concerning the brewing pressure and brewing temperature as well as refining the
aroma of your coffee.
CAUTION: Only use Solis water filters for this appliance (art. no. 700 86) and never
use the appliance without a water filter!
Take the water filter out of the packaging.
Adjust the blue cap so that the number of the next two months can be read in
the opening. These are the months during which the water filter will be in use.
Like that, you know when the water filter has to be replaced (e.g. in July, set the
month number "7/8" for July/August).
