Dispensing Hot Water
Hot water can also be dispensed from the frothing arm.
This provides a convenient way to make Americanos, tea,
or hot chocolate. Filling a demitasse with hot water is also
a great way to warm it before brewing espresso.
NOTE:
Always dispense hot water into an empty container
– dispensing into a cup or jug containing other ingredients
may cause splattering.
1. Press the “
” Button to turn the espresso machine on.
2. Wait until the espresso machine has reached operating
temperature; this will take about
6 minutes. When the frothing boiler temperature
gauge needle climbs into the “
” zone, the espresso
machine is ready to dispense hot water.
3. With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup,
open the “
” Dial by turning it slowly
counter-clockwise. Then press and hold the “
”
Button to dispense water.
NOTE:
Residual frothing steam may exit the nozzle before
water dispenses. It may take several seconds for water to
begin flowing from the nozzle.
4. When the desired amount of water has been
dispensed, release the “
” Button and close the
“
” Dial by turning it clockwise until it stops.
Care and Cleaning
Keeping the Artisan™ Espresso Machine clean is vital to
brewing the best espresso possible. Stale coffee oils on the
filter holder, filter baskets, and shower screen will ruin the
flavor of the most expertly prepared coffee, and any milk
left on the frothing arm should be removed.
Before Cleaning the Espresso Machine
1. Turn off the espresso machine.
2. Unplug the espresso machine from the wall outlet, or
disconnect power.
3. Let the espresso machine, and any attached parts or
accessories, cool.
Cleaning the Frothing Arm and Nozzle
The frothing arm and nozzle should always be cleaned after
milk is frothed.
1. Remove the frothing sleeve from the frothing nozzle by
pulling it downward. The frothing sleeve can be washed
in warm, soapy water. Make sure any openings in the
sleeve are free of residue.
2. Wipe the frothing arm and nozzle with a clean damp
cloth. Do not use an abrasive scouring pad.
3. Plug into a grounded outlet.
4. Turn the espresso machine on, and let the boilers reach
operating temperature. Point the frothing arm into an
empty cup and open the “
” dial momentarily to run
steam through the frothing nozzle. This will clean the
nozzle tip.
Cleaning the Housing and Accessories
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when
cleaning the espresso machine, or any espresso machine
part or accessory.
• Wipe the espresso machine housing with a clean damp
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
• Wash the filter holder in warm, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not wash the
filter holder in a dishwasher.
• The filter baskets, drip tray, drip plate, water tank, and
frothing jug can be washed in the top rack of a
dishwasher, or by hand in warm, soapy water. If washing
by hand, be sure to rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
• Use the shower screen brush or a damp cloth to brush or
wipe coffee grounds from the brew head gasket and
shower screen.
