Preparing Your Espresso Machine Before Use - Sunbeam Espresso Vita EM6200 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. To
do so, ensure the group handle has been
taken out of the group head and swing
the steam want 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 (1). Then fill with fresh cold water
or filtered water (2). Replace the water
reservoir firmly by sliding it back into place
(3).
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 (4). The light on the
'POWER' button will illuminate red and
start flashing. This is to indicate that your
espresso machine is on and is heating up.
When the red light on 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 around the 'MANUAL', 'SINGLE',
'DOUBLE', 'STEAM' and 'HOT WATER'
buttons will also show a constant red light
(5). 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 (6).
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 (7). Secure the
group handle to the group head (8) (9).
7.Place a sufficiently large container under
both pouring spouts (10).
8.Once the espresso machine is switched on
and heated, so the light on the 'POWER'
button is red and the lights around the
'MANUAL', 'SINGLE', 'DOUBLE' and 'HOT
WATER' buttons show a constant red light,
the espresso machine is heated and ready
to use.
Tip: Remember if the 'POWER' light is
flashing red, this indicates that the espresso
machine is on and is heating up.
9. Press the 'MANUAL' button (11) and allow
the water to run through until the water
reservoir is empty.
Note: You will need to press the 'MANUAL'
button again to stop the water flow. It does
not happen automatically.
