- 

If the water reservoir is empty and the

steam function is running, you will hear a

very distinct noise, which is louder than

normal operating sound. If this happens,

turn the machine off. Check the water

reservoir and refill as needed.

- 

Never let the steam function run when the

water reservoir is empty as this can damage

the steam function.

- 

Make sure that the cord is unfolded before

connecting the appliance.

- 

Before brewing your first pot of espresso, it

is recommended that you run a complete

brewing cycle with cold water only. Repeat

this rinse once. Please follow the below

instructions, without adding ground

espresso.

- 

Place the espresso maker on a flat level

surface. Place the drip tray under the

removable drip grid. Always use the

appliance with the non-skid drip grid in

place.

- 

The detachable metalfilters which should be

placed in the filterholder, can be detached

when cleaning.

- 

Remove the water reservoir and fill with

fresh cold water. Make sure to keep the

water reservoir filled above the min. water

level marking printed on the reservoir. 

- 

Replace the water reservoir into the

appliance and close the water reservoir lid.

- 

Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON position so

that the red light illuminates. The

temperature indicator light (orange light) will

illuminate when the machine is heating

water for brewing and steaming.

- 

Fill the desired filter with fresh espresso

powder to the desired amount. Use the

measuring spoon to measure the espresso

powder. It is important that the espresso lies

straight in the filter. Using normal ground

coffee will not give you the good espresso

taste. Clean any excess espresso grounds

from the rim of the filter holder. This will

assure proper fit under the brew head.

- 

Place the filter retainer clip in release

position, by tipping the clip back. 

- 

Place the filter holder underneath the brew

head so that the handle is positioned to the

left of the center.

- 

Lift the filter holder up and insert into the

brew head. Make sure the filter is in LOCK

position as shown on the appliance.

- 

Place 1 or 2 cups underneath the filter

holder spouts. Espresso will brew out of

both filter spouts, so if one cup is used it

has to be wide enough to catch liquid from

both spouts.

- 

When the temperature indicator light

(orange light) turns off, the appliance is

ready for brewing espresso.

- 

Turn the control dial to 

position. Brew

for approximately 30 seconds. 

- 

The temperature indicator light may come

back on while you are brewing. This just

means that the appliance is heating water.

- 

Turn the control dial back to 0 position

when finished brewing.

- 

Remove the filter handle by turning back to

the left. Use caution when removing the

filter holder as there can still be water in the

filter. 

-

Tip the thumb guard over the filter and

knock out the used espresso grounds.

- 

Rinse out the filter and filter holder and dry

all parts.

- 

To make a cappuccino you simply add

frothing hot milk to the espresso. To make a

cafe au lait you simply add hot milk to the

espresso.

- 

See above instructions to make espresso.

Be aware that there has to be water in the

reservoir for making steam.

- 

Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in ON

position.

- 

Fill a small pitcher with milk (always use

whole milk for the best result). Place the

steaming tube in the pitcher with milk.
