dispensed into the mug,
followed by Cuisinart’s
patented Burst of Steam
feature that quickly cleans the steam wand.
Espresso is then immediately dispensed.
Tips for creating a perfect froth:
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The steam
does two things; it heats milk and it mixes in air
to form a foamy texture. As with anything,
perfecting the art of milk
texturing takes practice,
but the results are well
worth it! Use cold,
refrigerated milk in the
milk tank. Any type of
milk may be used, but for best results, skim
is recommended. Keep in mind that the milk
volume will increase during frothing, so use a
large enough mug.
NOTE
: If the milk tank is not installed or
placed in the unit correctly, the STEAM ,
CAPPUCCINO
and LATTE
LEDs will
not light. Only lit LEDs are active functions.

The machine is ready to operate when all
the lights are steady again.
Auto-Off Mode
Following the
30-minute Energy
Saver cycle, if there

minutes of non-use,
the espresso machine
will turn off. Press the power button to turn
on again.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning External Parts
We recommend regular cleaning of the
espresso maker’s external components.
1. Never immerse the machine in water or
other liquids. The housing and external parts
may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-
abrasive cloth.
2. To remove the drip tray, simply slide it
toward you, keeping it level at all times in
order to prevent spills. The drip tray and drip
tray plate are dishwasher safe. Do not clean
drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads or
other abrasive materials.
Cleaning the Water Reservoir
It is normal over time for discoloration,
spotting or staining to appear in the water
reservoir. Results will vary depending on the
mineral content of the bottled or filtered
water used but will not affect the operation
of the machine. However, be sure to clean
the water reservoir regularly to minimize
build up.
Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp,
lint-free cloth as necessary.
Cleaning the Milk Tank
For best results cleaning the milk tank, please
follow these instructions: Remove the milk tank by

the tank. Replace the cover, align the milk tank to
the connector on the side of the machine, and
