CAUTION: PRESSURE

In order to check if the espresso machine is under pressure,

follow these steps:

1.Turn the control knob to the Off position and unplug the appliance.

2.Rotate the control knob to the position. If steam comes out

of the frothing tube, then the water reservoir is still under pressure. Turn the control knob to the Off position.

3.To release the pressure, hold a pitcher with water under the frothing

tube and immerse the frothing aid in the water. SLOWLY TURN THE

CONTROL KNOB TO THE POSITION AND RELEASE THE STEAM.

4.When the frothing tube stops releasing steam, turn to the Off position and slowly remove the cap.

5.Do not remove the brew basket or water reservoir cap at any time during the brewing process or until pressure is relieved.

6.Use caution when removing the brew basket. The metal parts may still be very hot. Also, there may be hot water floating on the top of the filter.

7.If coffee does not drip from basket, the brew basket is blocked. Allow the appliance to cool down, then release the steam with the instructions above. The blockage may be caused by too finely ground coffee. See “PROBLEMS AND CAUSES” on Page 12.

8.WHEN CLEANING THE FROTHING AID: Place a frothing pitcher or large cup (with at least an 11 ounce capacity) half full of water under the

frothing aid. Make sure the tip of the frothing tube is submerged

in liquid before turning the control knob to the position. Froth the water for approximately 15 seconds.

In order for your unit to work properly time after time,

clean the frother after each use.
