GENERAL CARE & USE
For optimum energy efficiency, ALWAYS use a heat source suitable for the size of the Espresso Maker.
Select the proper hob ring or gas flame size so that the heat or gas flame touches only the bottom of the Espresso Maker and
does not climb up the sides of the Espresso Maker.
Allow the Espresso Maker to cool before cleaning or storing to prevent warping caused by extreme temperature shocks.
DO NOT slide or drag the Espresso Maker across the hob surface as this may cause damage to both the Espresso Maker and the
hob surface. To avoid spillage, do not fill the Espresso Maker more than two-thirds full.
Choose a suitable sized gas flame or ring for the base of the Espresso Maker and centre your Espresso Maker over the heat
source.
NEVER “shuffle” the Espresso Maker on the hob whilst in use.
Use MEDIUM or LOW heat settings for the majority of use on all heat sources, allowing the Espresso Maker to heat gradually and
evenly.
The Espresso Maker should NEVER be used on a MAX or HIGH heat setting either for pre-heating or normal use as the excessive
surface temperatures will damage the Espresso Maker.
CAUTION: The body may leak slightly when pouring due to the pressure of the steam. A suitable oven glove must be used to
prevent scalding.
USAGE
•
Fill the BOTTOM CHAMBER with cold water up to the STEAM RELEASE VALVE. DO NOT cover the
STEAM
RELEASE VALVE.
•
Insert the FUNNEL into the BOTTOM CHAMBER and fill with espresso ground coffee, smoothing without
tamping.
•
Place the SILICONE GASKET on top of the BOTTOM CHAMBER and sit the FILTER on top.
•
Attach the MAIN BODY to the BOTTOM CHAMBER by screwing clockwise.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the BOTTOM CHAMBER is screwed on securely enough to avoid leaking but do not
over-tighten as this may damage the product.
•
Place the Espresso Maker on a stove top. Ensure the flame does not exceed the diameter of the base to prevent
burning/melting the HANDLE.
•
When you hear the Espresso Maker gurgling, remove it from the heat and allow to sit for 30 seconds..
•
Use a spoon to stir the coffee, and serve immediately.
CAUTION: Take extra care when pouring as steam will be produced by this product.
CLEANING & STORING
•
ALWAYS wash your Espresso Maker after each use. Wash in hot water with a mild detergent and soft sponge. Dry
thoroughly afterwards.
•
ALWAYS allow the Espresso Maker to cool fully before attempting any cleaning or storage.
•
DO NOT plunge into, or fill with, cold water when hot.
•
DO NOT use any metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff pads/washing up brushes, or abrasive cleaning agents on ANY of the
surfaces.
•
Stubborn stains can be removed using a suitable non-metallic scouring pad.
•
Rim marks, tarnishing and stains can be removed using mild detergents specially formulated for cleaning stainless steel
and similar items. Wash your Espresso Maker thoroughly after use of such products.
•
Ensure the filter holes are clear as grinds and mineral deposits are likely to form in these areas.
•
Regularly remove the SILICONE GASKET and clean the bottom changer with warm soapy water.
•
Maintain the SILICONE GASKET regularly by cleaning and using as per this manual. Steam escaping from the screw
threads between the top and bottom sections of the Espresso Maker signals that the SILICONE GASKET is in need of
replacing. Should this happen, replace it immediately.
HANDLE MAINTENANCE
NEVER apply excess twisting force to the handle. Do not overload the Espresso Maker or attempt to bend or modify the handle
in any way.
NEVER allow the handles to be positioned over another hob or heat source.
NEVER leave the Espresso Maker on a hot surface once it has boiled. Immediately remove the Espresso maker from the
hot surface and turn the heat source off. The Espresso maker is not intended for keeping coffee warm.

NEVER leave your Espresso Maker unattended when in use.
WARNING! Your Espresso Maker may become hot during use. NEVER handle hot liquids or containers. ALWAYS use a
suitable heat-resistant oven glove and grasp the Espresso Maker firmly by the HANDLE.
