BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Before brewing your first cup of espresso, we suggest you pre-clean the machine. Place the Espresso Maker on a level surface, within close proximity to a sink to discard water.
2. Make sure the Espresso Maker is unplugged.
3. Brew 2 carafes of water without coffee, following the procedures outlined in the Brewing Espresso section of this Instruction Manual. This will thoroughly clean the unit.

BREWING ESPRESSO

1. Make sure the function knob is in the OFF position. Plug the Espresso Maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The white POWER light should be off.

2. Remove the water tank safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise.

3. To brew fresh espresso, fill glass carafe with 2 to 4 cups of cold water, using the markings on the carafe for reference. Pour water into the water tank.

4. Turn the water tank safety lid clockwise until it is tightly sealed.

5. If the filter basket holder is locked into the Espresso Maker, remove from the brew head. Grasp the handle firmly and turn clockwise until the handle faces the left, unlocked position. The filter basket holder will drop down and out from the brew head.

6. With the measuring spoon, measure ground coffee and place into the filter basket until the “4” level mark indicated inside the filter. Gently tamp the coffee to pack it. To assure a proper fit into the Espresso Maker’s brew head, do not add coffee above this “4” level mark. For best results, use medium ground coffee. Note: avoid using fine grind or espresso ground coffee as it may cause brewing issues.

7. Place the filter basket into the filter basket holder.

8. Align the filter basket holder with slots up in the Espresso Maker’s brew head.
   Turn handle counter-clockwise (to the right) until the filter basket holder is securely locked.

9. Place the cover on the carafe and return the carafe to the Drip Tray Cover. Align hole in lid under nozzle.

10. Turn the function knob to (espresso). The white POWER light will illuminate.

11. a. When brewing only 4 cups of espresso (4 cups of water will be added into the water tank), espresso will begin to flow into the carafe after approximately 2 minutes. When brewing 4 cups of cappuccino (4 cups of water + 1 steam level of water will be added into the water tank), espresso will begin to flow into the carafe after approximately 3 minutes.
    NOTE: For cappuccino, refer immediately to the Preparing Cappuccino section in this Instruction Manual.

12. When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the function knob to OFF. The white POWER light will turn off.

13. To refill the water tank for additional servings, make sure the water tank is cooled and empty and the white POWER light is off.

CAUTION: This Espresso Maker will continue to heat water under pressure until the water tank is empty. Before removing the Filter Holder, or the water tank safety lid, turn the function knob to (steam) . When no further steam is emitted from the steam jet, turn the function knob OFF. The white POWER light will turn off.
CAUTION: To avoid scalding or burns, do not open the water tank safety lid or remove the Filter Holder during the brewing process, or when the white POWER light is illuminated.

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO

Cappuccino is a delicious blend of espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk.
CAUTION: To avoid scalding or burns, do not open the water tank safety lid or remove the Filter Holder during the brewing process or when the POWER light is illuminated.
NOTE: To prepare 4 cups of cappuccino, fill the carafe with 4 cups of cool, clean water for espresso + 1 steam level of water for steaming.

1. Follow the detailed procedures for brewing espresso outlined in this Instruction Manual. This should be added making reference to the previous espresso description.

2. While espresso coffee is brewing, fill a deep, metal or ceramic pitcher half full with fresh, cold skim milk and place it next to the Espresso Maker.

3. Once espresso coffee has finished brewing to the desired 4 cup mark on the Glass Carafe, turn the function knob to OFF.

4. Hold the pitcher by the handle and bring up to the steam jet. Insert the “Perfect Froth” tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn the function knob gradually to  (steam). Move the  pitcher in a slightly circular motion, and continue to froth the milk.
   REMINDER: To avoid splattering, the tip must remain just under the surface of the milk. Otherwise, splattering may occur.
   IMPORTANT: When frothing milk, the volume of milk will double. The top half will be frothed, the bottom half will be milk.

5. After frothing, turn the function knob back to OFF.

6. Remove the pitcher from the steam jet.
   CAUTION: Before removing the Filter Holder, or the water tank safety lid, turn the function knob to (steam) and wait until no further steam is emitted from the steam jet. This will allow any extra steam to be released and will clean the steam jet of any excess milk. Then turn the function knob back to the OFF position.

7. Fill a cappuccino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk and spoon frothed milk on top.

8. Dust froth with cocoa powder, fresh grated nutmeg or cinnamon and enjoy a delicious, freshly brewed cappuccino.
