Preparing Your Espresso Machine; Using Your Espresso Machine - Cuisinart Buona Tazza EM-600 SERIES Instruction/Recipe Booklet

PREPARING YOUR
ESPRESSO MACHINE
1. Place the espresso machine on a dry, stable
countertop or other flat, sturdy surface where
you will be using the machine.
2. IMPORTANT: For first-time use or if the
machine has not been used for some time,
it is important that it is rinsed as follows:
Remove the lid of the water reservoir. Using
the handle, lift the water reservoir off the base
and fill with fresh, cold drinking water.
Replace the water reservoir on the base, and
cover with the lid. Using the tracks as a
guide, slide the water reservoir back into
position and push down firmly to engage.
Important: The unit will not function unless
the water reservoir is properly in place.
3. Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press the
power button once to turn the espresso
machine on. All of the controls on the front
of the machine will flash while it's pre-
heating. Lights will turn steady when the unit
is in ready mode (approximately 1 minute).
4. Make sure the drip tray and grate are
in place.
5. Place a mug on the drip tray.
6. Press the MANUAL
water to run through for approximately 5 to
10 seconds. Press once more to stop.
7. If desired, place espresso cups on the
warming plate.
8. The machine is now in preheat/ready mode
and ready to use.
NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty or not
properly positioned, the unit will not function.
The SHORT , LONG
MANUAL LEDs will flash quickly. Turn off the
machine, fill the water reservoir, and turn the

short espresso without a capsule in place to
prime the machine. The machine is now ready
to use.

patented technology, the brewing process is
completely self-contained in the capsule and
coffee does not come into contact with the brew

CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing
head is opened during brewing cycle.
