Before Your First Use
Read all instructions. Carefully unpack espresso maker and remove all packaging
materials. Place your espresso maker on a level surface such as a countertop or
table.
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a clean, damp cloth or sponge and dry with another
cloth. Wash all accessories in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Caution:
Do not immerse the cord in water or any other liquid.
We recommend preparing several cups of water (without any coffee) to rinse the
system thoroughly and remove any dust or small particles. Follow the steps below
before initial use and after a long period of non-use.
1. Be sure that the selector knob is in the vertical, or stand-by, position. Plug the
cord into a 120 volt, AC outlet. Press the On/Off switch to turn on the machine.
Both lights will illuminate. Preheat 3 minutes before initial use.
2. Remove the water container and the filter holder. Fill the water container with
fresh, cold water and insert into the machine. When inserted correctly, push
the water container slightly down to open the valve. The water container lid
will close properly only if the container is properly inserted and the valve is
opened.
3. Insert one of the filters without coffee into the filter holder. When inserting the
filter holder, the handle points approximately 45 degrees to the left. When
properly aligned, pull the filter holder to the right. The filter holder is inserted
properly when the handle points to the front of the machine or slightly to the
right.
Caution: If you do not insert a filter into the filter holder, it is not possible to
tighten the filter holder. The filter holder could then come out of the machine
while hot water runs through it.
4. Place a large cup underneath the filter holder. When the thermostat light goes
out, turn the selector knob to the right and the steam/espresso button to the
espresso position. Hot water will run through the filter holder into the cup. The
pump will make noise. Stay with the machine as long as water runs through it.
When the cup is full, turn the selector knob to the vertical, or stand-by, position.
This will stop the pump. Empty and replace the cup and repeat process until
the water container is empty.
Caution: When the water container is empty and the pump is running, the noise
will increase considerably. Do not let the pump run with an empty water
container. This can damage the pump permanently.
