of espresso or cappuccino. Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir.

Do not pour water into the tank while the appliance is on. Check to make sure
the control knob is in the “OFF” position.
4. Screw the cap back on top of the water reservoir. Make sure it is on tight.

REPARING THE
COFFEE
