-
If the water reservoir is empty and the
steam function is running, you will hear a
very distinct noise, which is louder than
normal operating sound. If this happens,
turn the machine off. Check the water
reservoir and refill as needed.
-
Never let the steam function run when the
water reservoir is empty as this can damage
the steam function.
BEFORE FIRST USE
-
Make sure that the cord is unfolded before
connecting the appliance.
-
Before brewing your first pot of espresso, it
is recommended that you run a complete
brewing cycle with cold water only. Repeat
this rinse once. Please follow the below
instructions, without adding ground
espresso.
USING THE ESPRESSO MAKER
-
Place the espresso maker on a flat level
surface. Place the drip tray under the
removable drip grid. Always use the
appliance with the non-skid drip grid in
place.
-
The detachable metalfilters which should be
placed in the filterholder, can be detached
when cleaning.
-
Remove the water resservoir and fill with
fresh cold water. Make sure to keep the
water reservoir filled above the min water
level marking printed on the reservoir.
-
Replace the water reservoir into the
appliance and close the water reservoir lid.
-
Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON position so
that the red light illuminates. The temperatur
indicator light (orange light) will illuminate
when the machine is heating water for
brewing and steaming.
-
Fill the desired filter with fresh espresso to
the desired amount. Use the measuring
spoon to measure the espresso. It is
important that the espresso lies straight in
the filter. Using normal ground coffee will
not give you the good espresso taste. Clean
any excess rspresso grounds from the rim
of the filter holder. This will assure proper fit
under the brew head.
-
Place the filter retainer clip in release
position, by pulling the clip back.
-
Place the filter holder underneath the brew
head so that the handle is positioned to the
left of the center.
-
Lift the filter holder up and insert into the
brew head. Make sure the filter is in LOCK
position as shown on the appliance.
-
Place 1 or 2 cups underneath the filter
holder spouts. Espresso will brew out of
both filter spouts, so if one cup is used it
has to be wide enough to catch liquid from
both spouts.
-
When the temperature indicator light
(orange light) turns off, the appliance is
ready for brewing espresso.
-
Press the control dial to pump position.
Brew for approximately 30 seconds.
-
The temperature indicator light may come
back on while you are brewing. This just
means that the appliance is heating water.
-
Turn the control dial back to 0 position
when finished brewing.
-
Remove the filter handle by turning back to
the left. Use caution when removing the
filter holder as there can still be water in the
filter.
-
Flip the thumb guard over the filter and
knock out the used espresso grounds.
-
Rinse out the filter and filter holder and dry
all parts.
Capuccino/Cafe au Lait
-
To make a capuccino you simply add
frothing hot milk to the espresso. To make a
cafe au lait you simply add hot milk to the
espresso.
-
See above instructions to make espresso.
Be aware that there has to be water in the
reservoir for making steam.
-
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in ON
position.
-
Fill a small pitcher with milk (always use
whole milk for the best result). Place the
steaming tube in the pitcher with milk.
