First Time Set Up, Continued
Before plugging the machine in, verify the steam and hot water knobs are closed
and the brew lever is in the down position. Also make sure the power switch is in the
center off “
O
” position and the drip tray is in place.
Plug the machine into the outlet

and then turn the
power switch to the fill “
I
”
**
position.
The pump should come on to fill the boiler and then
will turn off after the boiler has completed filling.
The boiler should fill in approximately 60-90 seconds.
If the pump has not turned off and finished filling
within that time frame then turn the power switch to
the off “
O
” position and verify the silicone hoses are
at the bottom of the reservoir and are not kinked. Wait 5 minutes and then turn the
power switch to the fill “
I
” position.
After the boiler has finished filling then place whichever portafilter you intend to use
into the group head. Then lift the brew lever to activate the pump and keep the lever
up until water comes out of the portafilter and then lower the brew lever.
Turn the power switch to the on “
II
” position which will activate the heater.
The heating indicator light will illuminate and the machine will start heating up. You
will hear some gurgling noises and a small amount of steam and water will be
discharged into the drip tray. This is normal to allow for the release of air and the
expanding of water in the boiler and heat exchange.
The machine should reach temperature in approximately 15 minutes, but to make
delicious espresso with thick rich crema it is necessary to allow the machine to be
heated for 30-45 minutes with the portafilter kept in the grouphead.
* The electrical outlet must be a 3 prong 120V grounded outlet. No adaptors or extension cords
should be used. A timer may be used to turn the machine on and off, but it must be a 3 prong
grounded timer rated for 15 amps. A GFCI outlet is recommended but is not necessary.
** The fill position on the power switch only needs to be used on the first time setup or if the boiler has
been emptied. The fill switch position allows the boiler to fill without the heater being activated to
protect it during the fill process. Once the boiler has been filled the machine can be turned on
normally to the on “II” position.
