®
Espresso and
Cappuccino Maker:
1. For better results, brew espresso before steaming the milk.
2. Do not brew espresso immediately after steaming milk. This will cause the espresso
to overflow from the porta-filter. If you need to brew espresso after frothing follow the
next steps: 1) Place the empty portafilter into the machine 2) Place a cup under the
portafilter 3) Turn the switch to brew 4) Turn the control knob to brew and wait for
45 seconds then stop the process 5) Before preparing your next espresso wait until
temperature ready light turns back on.

4. Do not remove the porta-filter at any time during the brewing process.
5. Use caution when removing the porta-filter. The metal parts may still be very hot.
Also, there may be hot water floating on the top of the filter. Hold it only by its handle
and dispose the brewed coffee grounds.
6. If coffee does not drip, the filter might be blocked. Turn off the appliance and allow
it to cool down. The blockage may be caused by the coffee being too finely ground.
See “PROBLEMS AND CAUSES” section.
7. Do not brew espresso when switch is on steam.
8. For optimal performance please follow the detailed steps in the “CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS” section.
CORRECT USE OF GROUND COFFEE FOR ESPRESSO MAKERS
Do not use sugar roasted* ground coffee or sugar roasted coffee beans as these will clog
the filter and damage the appliance. If sugar roasted coffee is accidentally used, stop
using the unit and bring it to the closest service center for maintenance.
We recommend descaling the machine periodically to keep it in good working condition.
Contact our service centers to learn about this process.
