Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials. Wipe the heating stand with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the heating stand in water or other liquid. To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during packaging, wash the carafe, lid and filter basket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, you “brew” just the cold water without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker.

Operating Instructions

MAKING ESPRESSO

1)Place your espresso maker on a flat, level surface, such as a countertop. Plug the espresso maker into a 120_volt 60Hz AC only outlet.

2)Make sure that the control knob(3) is in the “OFF” position.

3)Fill the glass carafe(10) with cold water to the desired amount.

4)Unscrew the water tank boiler cap(1) by turning counter-clockwise and pour water into the water tank(4). Do not fill all the way to the top of the water tank(4) because there will not be enough area to generate steam.

5)Screw the water tank boiler cap(1) back on by turning clockwise and make sure that it is tightly secured.

6)Remove the filter basket(6) by grabbing the filter handle and sliding 1/4th to the left. The filter basket(6) will now be able to release.

7)Make sure that the filter(9) is inside the filter basket(6). The retainer clip(8) is to hold the filter basket(6) and the filter(9) together. Fill with fresh ground espresso coffee to the desired amount. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket(6).

8)Release and pull back the retainer clip(8) and position it underneath the brew head and slide it 1/4th to the right. Make sure the filter basket(6) is on tight.

9)Place the carafe lid(5) on the glass carafe(10) so that the carafe lid(5) opening is facing the spout and set it on the base grid(11).

10)Turn the control knob(3) to “Before Your First Use“ position. The indicator light(2) will turn on to let you know that the espresso maker is on.

NOTE: It will take couple of minutes before the espresso begins to drip into the glass carafe.

11)When brewing has completed, you can use the steam remaining in the water tank for frothing milk. First, pour 3 to 4 oz. of cold milk into a small pitcher, which should fit underneath the steam nozzle(7). Then turn the control knob(3) to “MAKING ESPRESSO“ position for frothing. (If you find the steam is not enough for frothing milk, pour some water into water tank.) In just a few
