ACTIVATING THE MACHINE
1
. Open the front of the machine and pull the “Door Safety Switch” out slightly.
2
. Turn the “On/Off” switch to the On position. At this time the machine will turn on and the
pump will start filling the boiler. Once the water level inside the boiler reaches proper level,
both the green and amber lights will become lit. Once this occurs, the boiler will begin heating
and the machine will be ready to program in less than 15 minutes.
3
. To release any trapped air in the machine, press and hold the “Extra Froth” button located
on the touch pad display for 10 seconds.
4
. Press the “Espresso” button on the touch pad display a few times to bring the machine
into equilibrium.
5
. To initialize the automatic foamer, simultaneously press and hold the “Extra Froth” button
while turning the foamer air adjustment screw counterclockwise. Once the foamer begins
to splatter milk, turn the screw clockwise until the foamer begins producing smooth foam.
