The Power ON Light will illuminate (see Figure 5).
The espresso will begin to flow from the Filter
Holder Spout in 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the
amount of water added to the Water Tank. Wait
until all the water from the Water Tank has flowed
into the Carafe.
NOTE: The machine can be heard as the pressure builds, water
begins to heat and espresso is brewed.
CAUTION: Never operate the Espresso Maker without water in the
Water Tank.
10. Turn the Function Control Knob to the OFF position. The Power
ON Light will turn off. Remove the Glass Carafe from the Drip

allow the Espresso Maker and all parts to
cool; remove the Filter Holder by turning
the Handle to the left until the Handle is

BREWING ESPRESSO (Continued)
Before brewing the first time, follow the instructions described in the
section: BREWING ESPRESSO, but use water only. Then, repeat the
process a second time. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy
water. Rinse, dry and assemble as instructed.
BREWING ESPRESSO
1. Before filling the Water Tank, make sure the Espresso Maker
Function Control Knob is turned to the OFF position and the unit is
unplugged from the electrical outlet. Unscrew the Pressure Cap on
top of the machine by turning it counterclockwise. Lift and turn to
remove the Lid.
2. To fill the Water Tank, use the Glass Carafe to measure the volume
of fresh cold water required. Do not overfill. The Glass Carafe is
marked with water levels for 2 cup (minimum) and 4 cups
(maximum). Care should be taken to ensure that the correct
amount of water is placed in the Tank, as the Espresso Maker
always uses all the water.
3. Close the Pressure Cap tightly by turning it clockwise.
4. Place the Filter Basket into the Filter Holder (see
Figure 2). Add the desired quantity of espresso
coffee to the Filter Basket using the Measuring
Scoop provided (see Figure 3). Spread the
espresso coffee evenly in the Filter Basket and
lightly press it down. Special marks on the
inside of the Filter show the correct espresso
coffee levels for 2 and 4 cups. Remove excess
espresso coffee from the edge of the Filter.
5. Make sure the Filter Handle Clip is unfolded
and resting back along the Filter Holder
Handle. Position the Filter Holder beneath the
water outlet, under the arrow marked “open”
and fit it onto the machine. Push it upwards and
turn to the right to lock to the “close” position.
NOTE: With one hand on the Pressure Cap, push
the Filter Holder firmly to the right to lock in
position. The Handle will be locked when it is
positioned under the arrow marked “close
(see Figure 4).
6. Place the Lid on the Carafe with the arrow
pointing opposite the Pour Spout.
7. Slide the Glass Carafe with Lid onto the Drip Tray directly under
the Spout of the Filter Holder (see Figure 1).
8. Plug the Espresso Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
