Functions of your Café Ristretto™

1. ESPRESSO FUNCTION

For best results, it is ideal to pre-heat your cups, filter handle and filter as follows:

•Insert the power cord into a 230-240V AC power outlet and turn the power on.

•Fill the water reservoir (1) (2), (3) (4) (5) with cold water and start the appliance (6).

•Put the filter handle and an empty filter in place (7) (8) (9), and place cups underneath the filter handle.

•As soon as the ‘Warm-Up’ light turns ‘Off’, this indicates that the Café Ristretto™ is ready to be used.

Tip: Remember that if the ‘Warm-Up’ light is ‘On’ it means the espresso machine is ‘Heating’. If the ‘Warm-Up’ light is ‘Off’ then you can start using the espresso machine.

•Press the button (11).

•When the cups are full of hot water, press

the button again to stop the water flow.

Note: Once the appliance has been on for a while, the coffee cups can be warmed by placing them upside down on the cup warming plate (12).
