SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE / PRE-HEATING
SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE
1) Refer to Important Safeguards to make
sure the machine is located in a safe
place.
2) Your machine has been factory designed
to operate at a specific voltage. Refer to
the identification label on the bottom of
your machine to make sure that the outlet
you intend to use supplies the proper
voltage and that the circuit it belongs to
is rated for the machine's power
requirements. If an extension cord is
needed make sure that it also has the
appropriate rating and meets or exceeds
all safety standards.
3) Filling the water tank
Remove the water tank cover and
carefully take the two hoses out of the
tank.
Remove the water tank from the
machine, rinse it thoroughly, and fill it
with fresh, cold water. We recommend
using only filtered or bottled water. Never
use anything other than cold water in
your machine.
Place the water tank back in the
machine and reinsert the hoses into the
tank. Place the water tank cover back
on the tank.
4) Plugging in your machine
Make sure the power switch is in the
up and off position. Also make sure
the other switches are in the up and off
position.
Make sure the outlet you are using is
appropriate for the machine and then
plug the machine in.
Turn the power switch on. The switch will
illuminate to indicate that the machine
is on.
Be sure to prime the machine right away
using the following instructions.
5) Priming the machine
The machine must always be primed
before use and after steaming. It is also a
good idea to prime the machine after
filling the water tank or if the machine has
been left on but not used for some time.
Priming the machine ensures that there is
adequate water in the system for its normal
operation and failure to do so could result
in serious damage to your machine.
To prime your machine, place a
container under the steam wand and fully
open the hot water / steam knob by
turning it counter clockwise.
Press the brew switch and wait until a
steady stream of water flows from the
steam wand.
Allow at least 4 oz. of water to flow and
then turn off the brew switch and close
the knob.
PRE-HEATING
Before brewing espresso you will want
to pre-heat both the filter holder and the
cup(s) you will use to serve your espres-
so. Use the following procedure.
Make sure that the not ready
indicator is off and then insert the filter
holder, with empty filter basket in place,
into the brew head of the machine. Turn
the handle of the filter holder from left
to right until it is securely in place. When
you release the handle it will
automatically spring slightly back to the
left. This indicates that the filter holder
is operating properly.
Place your cup(s) to be warmed directly
beneath the two outlets on the bottom
of the filter holder.
Turn the brew switch on, the pump
will come on and after a few seconds
water will begin to flow into the cup(s).
