IMPORTANT: The Filter Basket Holder will fit snugly into your
machine. When properly installed, it will be flat against the
machine; the Handle should be perfectly level and centered at
the front of the Espresso Maker.
CAUTION: To avoid burns and spills of boiling water, make sure the
Filter Basket is properly fitted into the Filter Basket Holder and
the loaded Filter Basket Holder is properly inserted into the
Espresso Maker.
5. Preheat according to PREHEATING THE ESPRESSO MAKER section
of these Use & Care Instructions.
6. Place one or two espresso cups under the spouts in the underside
of the Filter Basket Holder. If using one cup, it should be under
both spouts. Two cups should be under one spout each.
7. The / OK Brew Light will be illuminated to signal the Espresso
Maker is ready to brew. Turn the Selector Dial to
/ OK. Rich
espresso will begin to flow into the cup(s).
CAUTION: Never operate the Espresso Maker without water in the
Water Reservoir. Be sure to add water to the Water Reservoir if
the water level falls below the MIN mark; do not add water past
the MAX water level mark.
8. When the espresso cup(s) are filled to the desired level, STOP the
flow by turning the Selector Dial to “O” OFF.
9. After brewing, grip the Pressure Reducer Lever against the Filter
Basket Holder Handle for at least 5 seconds to avoid the danger of
accidental pressure release.
10. To remove the Filter Basket Holder, allow all parts to cool, and
then rotate the Handle to the left until it is under the UNLOCK
icon and separates from the unit.
11. Flip the Basket Holder Clip up and over the
rim of the Filter Basket to hold it in place
with your thumb; knock out the used coffee
or E.S.E. pod into a waste receptacle (see
Figure 6).
CAUTION: The Filter Basket and Filter Basket Holder are hot after
brewing. Allow to cool thoroughly before touching.
12.
To brew double espresso,
following the steps described previously,
refill the Filter Basket with either fresh ground coffee or a fresh
E.S.E. coffee pod. Insert the Filter Basket into the machine and
brew the second shot of espresso into the cup(s).
13. Wash the Filter Basket and Filter Basket Holder in warm soapy
water; rinse thoroughly and dry after each use.

Selector Dial to “O” OFF position, empty the container and the
Removable Drip Tray. You are now ready to brew a delicious cup
of fresh espresso coffee.

PREHEATING THE ESPRESSO MAKER
1. To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the proper
temperature, it is essential that the machine be preheated.
2. Fill the Water Reservoir to the MAX mark. Replace Water
Reservoir in its original position on the back of the unit following
the instructions outlined in the section: BEFORE USING FOR
THE FIRST TIME. Make sure the Water Reservoir is securely
in place.
NOTE: Never fill the Water Reservoir past the MAX mark. Never
operate the appliance without water in the Reservoir. Always
refill the Water Reservoir when the water level falls below the
MIN mark.
NOTE: Always use fresh, cold water for brewing. In areas with hard
water or where water contains a high mineral content, use cold
filtered water for optimal coffee taste.
NOTE: Place espresso cups on top of the Warming Plate to pre-heat.
3. Turn the Selector Dial to
Heater Mode
; the Heater Light will
illuminate. The machine can be heard as the pump is primed and
water begins to heat.
4. When the
/ OK Brew Light illuminates, the Espresso Maker
is preheated.
NOTE: For optimum preheating, the Selector Dial can be left in the
Heater Mode
for approximately 5 minutes before brewing
espresso, as long as the Filter Basket Holder is properly fitted into
the Espresso Maker.
