Preparing Your Espresso Machine Before Use - Sunbeam EM5900 Artista Instruction Booklet

Preparing your espresso machine
before use
1. Place the espresso machine onto a dry,
stable benchtop.
2. Ensure the drip tray and grill are in place.
3. Fill the espresso machine with water. There
are a couple of ways in which the water
reservoir can be filled;
a) Simply lift the lid of the water reservoir
at the top of the espresso machine (1)
and using a jug, fill with fresh cold
water or filtered water (2), then close
the lid.
b) Alternatively the water reservoir can
be removed and filled with fresh cold
water. To do so, ensure the group
handle has been taken out of the group
head and swing the steam wand to the
right, out of the way. Then using the
handle at the front of the water reservoir
simply slide out the reservoir from the
front of the espresso machine (3). Then
fill with fresh cold water or filtered
water (4). Replace the water reservoir
firmly by sliding it back into place (5).
4. Insert the power cord into a 230-240V
AC power outlet and switch the power on.
Press the 'POWER' button once to turn the
espresso machine on (6). The light behind
the 'POWER' button will illuminate green
and start flashing. This is to indicate that
your espresso machine is on and is heating
up.
When the green light behind the 'POWER'
button stops flashing and turns to a
constant red light, this indicates that the
espresso machine is heated and ready
to use. The lights behind the 'COFFEE',
'STEAM' and 'HOT WATER' buttons will
also show a constant white light (7). When
the control panel is lit in this way, this
indicates that the machine is in ready
mode.
5. Place glasses and cups on the warming
plate (8).
Important: For first time use or if the machine
has not been used for some time, it is
important that the machine is rinsed as
follows:
6. Fit the group handle with either the single
or double filter basket (9). Secure the
group handle to the group head (10) (11).
7. Place a sufficiently large container under
both pouring spouts (12).
8. Once the espresso machine is switched
on and heated, so the light behind the
'POWER' button is red and the lights
behind the 'COFFEE', 'STEAM' and 'HOT
WATER' buttons show a constant white
light, the espresso machine is heated and
ready to use.
Tip: Remember if the 'POWER' light is
flashing green, this indicates that the
espresso machine is on and is heating up.
9. Press the 'COFFEE' button (13) and allow
the water to run through until the water
reservoir is empty.
Note: You will need to press the 'COFFEE'
button again to stop the water flow. It does
not happen automatically. This allows the
user to have full control over their espresso
pour.
