Preparing Your Espresso Machine

1.Put the espresso machine on a dry, stable countertop or other flat, sturdy surface where you will be using the machine.

IMPORTANT: For first-time use or if the machine has not been used for some time, it is important that it is rinsed as follows:

2.Remove the lid of the water reservoir. Using the handle, lift the water reservoir off the base and fill with fresh, cold drinking water. Replace the water reservoir on the base, and cover with the lid. Using the tracks as a guide, slide the water reservoir back into position and push down firmly to engage.

Important: The unit will not function unless the water reservoir is properly in place.

3.Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press the power button once to turn the espresso machine on. All of the controls on the front of the machine will flash while it’s pre- heating. Lights will turn steady when the unit is in ready mode (approximately

1minute).

4.Make sure the drip tray and grate are in place.

5.Place a mug on the drip tray.

6.Press the Manual button and allow the water to run through for approximately 5 to

10seconds. Press once more to stop.

7.Position espresso cups on the warming plate.

8.The machine is now in preheat/ready mode and ready to use.

NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty or not properly positioned, the unit will not function. The Short , Long , Manual and Steam LEDs will flash. Turn off the machine, fill the water reservoir, and turn the machine back on.

USING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE

Always make sure you have water in the reservoir, a capsule in the brew head, and that the appropriate tray is being used. NOTE: This machine is designed

exclusively for use with illy® iperEspresso® capsules. No other type of capsule, pod, or coffee can be used.

Short or Long Pre-Programmed Espresso

1.Using the lever, open the brew head, insert a capsule, and close the brew head.

2.With an espresso cup on the espresso cup tray, select either a SHORT (1.2 ounces) or LONG (3 ounces) espresso. (The selected function and Hotter Temperature setting LEDs remain on, while all the other LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again, the machine is ready for the next cycle.)

For optimal results, we recommend using the Long button with the blue "Lungo" iperEspresso capsule. The Long button provides an Americano single espresso. Using this setting with other iperEspresso® varieties will alter the taste.

NOTE: As part of illy-patented technology in the iperEspresso® capsule, the brewing process is completely self-contained in the capsule and does not get into the brew head. So there is no need to rinse in between cycles as there will be no transfer of flavor.

CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing head is opened during brewing cycle.

Manual/Adjustable Strength Control Programming

1.Using the lever, open the brew head, insert a capsule, and close the brew head.
