BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before brewing your first cup of espresso, we suggest you pre-clean the machine. Place the Espresso Maker on a level surface, within close proximity to a sink to discard water.
Make sure the Espresso Maker is unplugged.
Brew 2 carafes of water without coffee, following the procedures outlined in the Brewing Espresso section of this Instruction Manual. This will thoroughly clean the unit.

BREWING ESPRESSO

Make sure the function knob is in the OFF position. Plug the Espresso Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The POWER light should be off.
Remove the water tank safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise.
To brew fresh espresso, fill glass carafe with 2 to 4 cups of cold water, using the markings on the carafe for reference. Pour water into the water tank.
Turn the water tank safety lid clockwise until it is tightly sealed.
If the filter basket holder is locked into the Espresso Maker, remove from the brew head. Grasp the handle firmly and turn clockwise until the handle faces the left, unlocked position. The filter basket holder will drop down and out from the brew head.
With the measuring spoon, measure ground coffee and place into the filter basket until the "4" level mark indicated inside the filter. Gently tamp the coffee to pack it. To assure a proper fit into the Espresso Maker's brew head, do not add coffee above this "4" level mark. For best results, use medium ground coffee. Note: avoid using fine grind or espresso ground coffee as it may cause brewing issues.
Place the filter basket into the filter basket holder.
Align the filter basket holder with slots up in the Espresso Maker's brew head. Turn handle counter-clockwise (to the right) until the filter basket holder is securely locked.
Place the cover on the carafe and return the carafe to the Drip Tray Cover. Align hole in lid under nozzle.
Turn the function knob to (espresso). The POWER light will illuminate.
1. When brewing only 4 cups of espresso (4 cups of water will be added into the water tank), espresso will begin to flow into the carafe after approximately 2 minutes.
2. When brewing 4 cups of cappuccino (4 cups of water + 1 steam level of water will be added into the water tank), espresso will begin to flow into the carafe after approximately 3 minutes.
  NOTE: For cappuccino, refer immediately to the Preparing Cappuccino section in this Instruction Manual.
When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the function knob to OFF. The POWER light will turn off.
To refill the water tank for additional servings, make sure the water tank is cooled and empty and the POWER light is off.

This Espresso Maker will continue to heat water under pressure until the water tank is empty. Before removing the Filter Holder, or the water tank safety lid, turn the function knob to (steam). When no further steam is emitted from the steam jet, turn the function knob OFF. The POWER light will turn off.

To avoid scalding or burns, do not open the water tank safety lid or remove the Filter Holder during the brewing process, or when the POWER light is illuminated.

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO

Cappuccino is a delicious blend of espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk.

To avoid scalding or burns, do not open the water tank safety lid or remove the Filter Holder during the brewing process or when the POWER light is illuminated.

NOTE: To prepare 4 cups of cappuccino, fill the carafe with 4 cups of cool, clean water for espresso + 1 steam level of water for steaming.

Follow the detailed procedures for brewing espresso outlined in this Instruction Manual. This should be added making reference to the previous espresso description.
While espresso coffee is brewing, fill a deep, metal or ceramic pitcher half full with fresh, cold skim milk and place it next to the Espresso Maker.
Once espresso coffee has finished brewing to the desired 4 cup mark on the Glass Carafe, turn the function knob to OFF.
Hold the pitcher by the handle and bring up to the steam jet. Insert the "Perfect Froth" tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn the function knob gradually to (steam). Move the pitcher in a slightly circular motion, and continue to froth the milk.
REMINDER: To avoid splattering, the tip must remain just under the surface of the milk.
Otherwise, splattering may occur.

When frothing milk, the volume of milk will double. The top half will be frothed, the bottom half will be milk.

After frothing, turn the function knob back to OFF.
Remove the pitcher from the steam jet.

Before removing the Filter Holder, or the water tank safety lid, turn the function knob to (steam) and wait until no further steam is emitted from the steam jet. This will allow any extra steam to be released and will clean the steam jet of any excess milk. Then turn the function knob back to the OFF position.

Fill a cappuccino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk and a spoon frothed milk on top.
Dust froth with cocoa powder, fresh grated nutmeg or cinnamon and enjoy a delicious, freshly brewed cappuccino.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

NEVER IMMERSE THE ESPRESSO MAKER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

Unplug the Espresso Maker from the electrical outlet and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

The Espresso Maker creates hot water and steam under pressure. To avoid burns on fingers or hands, always make sure the POWER light is off. NEVER touch the filter basket holder or steam wand immediately after brewing or steaming. Allow all parts to cool thoroughly before touching.

The filter basket holder and filter basket should be emptied and rinsed thoroughly with warm water after every use.

Grasp the filter basket holder handle firmly and turn clockwise until the handle faces the left, unlocked position. The filter basket holder will drop down and out of the unit.
Remove the filter basket and empty the used coffee grounds.
If necessary, clean the filter basket with a kitchen brush. A pin may be used to clear clogged holes of either filter basket or the steam wand. Dry thoroughly.
Remove the drip plate. Empty water from drip tray. Dry with a clean cloth.
Rinse and replace clean drip plate.
Wipe the outside of the Espresso Maker and the steam wand with a damp cloth.

Never use solvents or any detergents that may scratch or damage the surface of the machine.

Clean the carafe and carafe lid with warm, soapy water. Handle with extreme care, as glass will become slippery when wet.

DESCALING

Minerals and calcium found in hard-water areas can accumulate and affect the operation of your machine. Depending on water conditions and frequency of use, your Espresso Maker should be cleaned with distilled vinegar approximately every 3 months to remove scale.

Before cleaning your Espresso Maker, make sure the function knob is in the OFF position and the appliance has been disconnected from the wall outlet.
Fill the carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the water reservoir.
Securely fasten the water tank safety lid.
Attach empty coffee filter basket and holder.
Place carafe onto drip plate.
Plug the Espresso Maker into 120V AC electrical outlet.
Turn function knob to (espresso). In a few minutes, the hot vinegar will start to flow through the coffee basket into the carafe.
Place steam jet into a tall glass or mug. Move function knob to (steam) position during the flowing to clean any residue left in the tube from the milk steaming process.
Turn function knob back to (espresso), permitting the hot vinegar to continue to flow in the carafe.
When the flow has stopped, turn function knob to OFF position and allow to cool completely. Make sure the POWER light is off. Then remove filter basket holder, carafe and rinse with hot water.
Repeat above steps using cold water to rinse any residual vinegar. Repeat twice.
Unplug the Espresso Maker from the wall outlet.

STORING INSTRUCTIONS
