CAUTION - PRESSURE
In order to avoid possible burns to body parts and/or other injury from hot
steam and water or damages to the unit:
1. Never remove the water tank or the portafilter while your machine is brewing
espresso or frothing. The Brewing Control Knob and Steam Control Knob
should be in the OFF position before you remove the portafilter to make
additional cups of espresso. If you need to add more water to the tank, turn
both the Brewing Control Knob and Steam Control Knob to the OFF position
and power off the unit by pressing the ON/OFF switch to the "0" position on
the back of the unit.
2. If espresso does not flow from the portafilter (only drips very slowly), the
sieve is blocked. Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down. Check
that the coffee is not too finely ground, chapter 6a.
3. Use caution when removing the portafilter. The metal parts may still be very
hot. There may also be hot water floating on the top of the ground coffee.
Hold the portafilter only by its handle and dispose of the brewed coffee
grounds by using the thumb guard (Fig 4).
4. If steam is not released from the frothing wand, the frother is blocked. Turn
off the appliance and allow it to cool down. Clean the frothing wand as
described in chapter 10.
5. In order for your unit to work properly time after time, clean the frothing
sleeve and frothing wand after each use.
NOTE: During brewing or steaming, the green READY indicator light may
turn off, specifying the heating system is active and maintaining the proper
temperature for brewing or steaming.
2. Before First Use
After carefully unpacking your Capresso Stainless Steel Espresso & Cappuccino
Machine, wash all removable parts with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
Familiarize yourself with the appliance and read the instruction manual. Plug
the power cord into a grounded wall outlet according to the safety instructions.
Rinse the internal components before making espresso. Fill the water tank and
pump a few ounces of water through the brew head (Fig.1, j) and the frothing
wand (Fig.1, i). Follow the procedure in chapter 5 for "Warming Internal
Components & Cups" to rinse the machine before first use.
3. Filling the Water Tank
Remove the water tank lid (Fig. 1, n) and pull the water tank (Fig. 1, m) up. Fill
the water tank with fresh cold water between the MIN and MAX markings. Place
the water tank back onto the machine, pushing down firmly to engage the base
valve. Make sure the black hook on the back of the machine is inserted and
locked onto the water tank. Place the water tank lid back onto the water tank.
4. Control Panel
4a. The black ON/OFF switch on the back of the machine turns the machine on
and off. When the machine is switched ON the POWER indicator light on the
front of the machine will illuminate red, signifying that the machine is warming
up the heating system. The initial heat-up time is under one minute at normal
6.
