USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable
parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly
must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
1. Unplug the Espresso Maker from the electrical outlet and allow it to
cool completely before cleaning.
CAUTION: The Filter Basket and Filter Holder are hot after brew-
ing. Allow the unit to cool completely before touching.
2. The Filter Holder, Filter Basket and Carafe should be emptied and
rinsed thoroughly with warm water after every use. If necessary, clean
the Filter Basket with a kitchen brush. A pin may be used to clear any
clogged holes. Dry thoroughly.
3.
CAUTION: The Frother may be hot. Allow it to cool completely.
Pull the Froth Booster Tip down and off of the Frother for easy clean-
ing. Hand wash the Froth Booster Tip in hot water. Wipe the Frother
clean with a damp cloth. If necessary, a pin may be used to clear the
hole in the end of the Frother. Dry the Frother and replace the Froth
Booster Tip after cleaning.
4. With the Carafe and Filter Holder removed from the machine, slide
the Drip Tray forward to remove from the unit. Detach the Grid from
the Drip Tray and empty any liquid that has gathered in the Drip Tray.
Rinse the Drip Tray and Grid n warm water, dry thoroughly, and then
replace.
5. Wipe the outside of the Espresso Maker with a clean, damp cloth.
Never use solvents or any detergents that may scratch or damage the
surface of the machine.
WARNING: Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
Preparing a “Latte”:
A latte is prepared to the proportions of
1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk (no foam). Thus it has more milk
than a cappuccino, and has a milder, milkier taste. Lattes should be
prepared by pouring milk and espresso into the cup simultaneously.
6. Clear the Frother of milk BEFORE turning off the Espresso Maker,
as dried milk can be difficult to remove. To do this, put an empty
container in place under the Frother to catch the excess milk and
gradually turn the Steam Control Knob counterclockwise to release
the steam. Let steam escape for 5-10 seconds; then tighten the
Steam Control Knob by turning all the way clockwise until no steam
escapes the Frother.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.
7.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE REMOVING THE BOILER
CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE
PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. To
release steam pressure from the water tank, be sure the
Function Control is in the “
” (STEAM) position and gradually
turn the steam control Knob counterclockwise until steam
starts flowing out of the Frother. Wait until steam is no longer
emerging from the Frother, then tighten the Steam Control
Knob by turning all the way clockwise.
Do not remove the Filter Holder until all steam has been
released, and all parts are cool enough to touch.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with escaping steam.
8. After all the steam is safely released and all parts have cooled com-
pletely, remove the Filter Holder by sliding the Filter Holder handle to
the left until it is positioned beneath the “
” (UNLOCK) symbol then
pull down.
9. Flip the Filter Basket Clip forward so that the Filter Basket remains
inside the Filter Holder. While continuing to press against the Filter
Basket Clip with your thumb, turn the Filter Holder upside-down and
tap out the grounds (see FIGURE 4). Open the Filter Basket Clip
before the next use.
10. Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.
