Introduction
Thank you for your business! You are going to love your new Carola espresso machine. It combines
classic beauty, value, and great performance for making the best espressos
you’ve ever tasted! These
instructions include tips that will help bring out the Barista that’s hidden within! Enjoy your new machine!
First Time Set Up
Before using your machine, test your water for hardness using the provided test strips. Fill a glass with
cold tap water; dip the tip of the test strip into the water for one second, then pull the strip out of the water
and hold it horizontally for fifteen seconds. After fifteen seconds, compare the color of the strip to the chart
on the side of the package to determine how many grains of hardness is in your tap water. Three grains or
less of hardness is acceptable to be used in the machine.
Note:
Should your water’s hardness level exceed three grains, then it is strongly recommended that an in
tank softener be used or a different source of water that has been tested for hardness. Some bottled water
can be extremely hard and should always be tested before using. Using a Brita or PUR style pitcher or
faucet filter DOES NOT remove any hardness from the water and should only be used in the machine if
your water source is under 3 grains of hardness. Using hard water in the machine will affect its
performance and may cause damage to the machine which is not covered under warranty. Open the
hinged reservoir door on the top of the machine and remove the water reservoir. Rinse the water reservoir
out and fill with cold softened water and then install it back into the machine being careful not to spill any
water inside the machine. Be sure that silicone lines are sitting on the bottom of the reservoir. To make
sure boiler is completely filled before continuing set up, please follow these first time stet up directions:
1. Fill water reservoir and place in machine
2. Power up machine for 30 seconds allowing pump to draw water
3. Shut down main power for 4-5 minutes allowing heating element to rest
4. Repeat 2 to 3 times at this point your boiler should be full and now you can allow your machine to fully heat
Failure to follow the steps can result in damage to your heating element.
Before plugging the machine in, verify that the brew lever is in the down position. Also make sure the
power switch is in the center off, and the drip tray is in place. Plug the machine into the outlet* and then
turn flip the switch to the “on” position. Raise the brew lever for at least 30 seconds until water comes out
of the group head and then lower the brew lever. The heating indicator light will illuminate and the machine
will start heating up. You will hear some gurgling noises as it heats up this are normal. After filling the
boiler insert the portafilter into the group head so it heats up with the machine. 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.
Before Each Use
Fill the reservoir with cold softened water.
Place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the group head and then flip the power switch.
Let the machine warm up for 30-45 minutes for optimal performance.
