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.
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:
2. 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 button and allow the
water to run through for approximately 5 to
10 seconds. Press once more to stop.
7. 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, the unit will
not function. The Short , Long , Manual ,
and Steam LEDs will flash. Turn off the
machine, fill the water reservoir, and turn the
machine back on.
USING YOUR
ESPRESSO MACHINE
Always make sure you have water in the
reservoir, a capsule in the brew head, and
that the appropriate tray is being used.
NOTE: This machine is designed
exclusively for use with illy’s iperEspresso
capsules. Any other type of capsule, pod,
or coffee cannot be used.
Single or Double Pre-Programmed
Espresso
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert
a capsule, and close the brew head.
2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup
tray, select either a SHORT (1.5 ounces)
or LONG (3 ounces) espresso. (The
selected function and Hot Temperature
setting LEDs remain on, while all the other
LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again,
the machine is ready for the next cycle.)
NOTE: As part of illy patented technology in the
iperEspresso capsule, the brewing process is
completely self-contained in the capsule and
does not get into the brew head. So there is no
need to rinse in between cycles as there will be
no transfer of flavor.
Manual/Adjustable Strength Control
Programmable
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert
a capsule, and close the brew head.
2.
For adjustable strength control, use the
MANUAL button to adjust the length of
time espresso is dispensing – the longer
you allow it to flow, the
lighter it will be.
Press the to start
dispensing. When your
cup is filled to desired
level, press again to stop.
