Before brewing the first time, follow the instructions described in the
section: BREWING ESPRESSO, but use water only. Then, repeat the
process a second time. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy
water. Rinse, dry and assemble as instructed.
BREWING ESPRESSO
1. Before filling the Water Tank, make sure the Espresso Maker
Function Control Knob is turned to the OFF position and the unit is
unplugged from the electrical outlet. Unscrew the Pressure Cap on
top of the machine by turning it counterclockwise. Lift and turn to
remove the Lid.
2. To fill the Water Tank, use the Glass Carafe to measure the volume
of fresh cold water required. Do not overfill. The Glass Carafe is
marked with water levels for 2 cup (minimum) and 4 cups
(maximum). Care should be taken to ensure that the correct
amount of water is placed in the Tank, as the Espresso Maker
always uses all the water.
3. Close the Pressure Cap tightly by turning it clockwise.
4. Place the Filter Basket into the Filter Holder (see
Figure 2). Add the desired quantity of espresso
coffee to the Filter Basket using the Measuring
Scoop provided (see Figure 3). Spread the
espresso coffee evenly in the Filter Basket and
lightly press it down. Special marks on the
Figure 2
inside of the Filter show the correct espresso
coffee levels for 2 and 4 cups. Remove excess
espresso coffee from the edge of the Filter.
5. Make sure the Filter Handle Clip is unfolded
and resting back along the Filter Holder
Handle. Position the Filter Holder beneath the
Figure 3
water outlet, under the arrow marked “open”
and fit it onto the machine. Push it upwards and
turn to the right to lock to the “close” position.
NOTE: With one hand on the Pressure Cap, push
open
close
the Filter Holder firmly to the right to lock in
position. The Handle will be locked when it is
positioned under the arrow marked “close
(see Figure 4).

RELEASE STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK, TURN THE
FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE
STEAM POSITION
(THE POWER ON LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE) AND WAIT UNTIL
NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES THROUGH THE STEAM TUBE.
THEN TURN THE FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE
OFF POSITION.
Do not remove the Filter Holder until all steam has been
released, and all parts are cool enough to touch.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.
12. To discard used espresso coffee grounds,
allow the Espresso Maker and all parts to
cool; remove the Filter Holder by turning
the Handle to the left until the Handle is
positioned under the arrow marked “open”
and separates from the Espresso Maker.
Flip the Filter Handle Clip forward so that
it holds the Filter Basket in place. Turn the
Filter Holder upside-down and tap out the
Figure 6
grounds (see Figure 6). Fold the Filter
Handle Clip back along the Handle before
the next use.
13. To refill the unit for additional servings, remove the Pressure Cap,
turn the Function Control Knob to OFF and allow the unit to cool
before proceeding with steps 2 through 12 in this Brewing Espresso
section of this manual. If the Water Tank is hot, the water may
splatter when added.
14. Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
In Italy, cappuccino is usually 1 part espresso to 2 parts milk plus
froth. Americans love to add cinnamon, sugar, shaved chocolate,
nutmeg and/or various liquors to taste.
NOTE: The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold skim milk is
used. When frothing milk, the volume of the milk will double.
1. Make sure the Steam Tube Cover is properly attached to the Steam
Tube before beginning to froth the milk.
2. Prepare espresso as described in the section: BREWING
ESPRESSO. Add extra water to the Water Tank to create steam to
froth milk. Use the Glass Carafe to measure the correct volume of
water needed. For 2 cups, add water until it reaches the bottom of
the handle ring on the Glass Carafe. For 4 cups, add water until it
reaches the Pour Spout on the Glass Carafe.
3. Once the brewed espresso reaches the
STEAM
mark on the Carafe, hold a frothing pitcher by the
handle and bring up to the Steam Nozzle. Insert
the tip of the Nozzle just under the surface of the
milk. Turn the Function Control Knob to
STEAM and begin to froth the milk.
REMINDER: Before frothing, make sure the tip of the
Steam Nozzle is just under the surface of the milk.
Otherwise, splattering may occur. See Figure 7.
Figure 7
CAUTION: Take extra care as steam is very hot and
will also cause the milk to become very hot.
4. When the milk reaches desired froth consistency, turn the Function
Control Knob back to ESPRESSO. Brewing will resume.
NOTE: When preparing cappuccino, use a cappuccino cup with a
capacity of at least 5 ounces. Fill each cup half-full with espresso.
5. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since it
separates from the heated milk. The top half will be frothed, the
bottom half will be milk. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk
into each cup of espresso. Spoon the frothed milk onto the top.
6. Clear the Steam Tube of milk BEFORE brewing is finished, as dried
milk can be difficult to remove. To do this, put a container in
place under the Steam Tube to catch the excess milk and turn the
Function Control Knob
STEAM. Turn the Function Control
Knob back to
ESPRESSO to complete brewing. After brewing is
completed, turn the Function Control Knob to OFF.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.
7. FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE REMOVING THE PRESSURE
CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE
PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. TO
RELEASE STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK, TURN THE
FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE
STEAM POSITION
(THE POWER ON LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE) AND WAIT UNTIL

PREPARING CAPPUCCINO (Continued)
NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES THROUGH THE STEAM TUBE.
THEN TURN THE FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE OFF
POSITION.
Do not remove the Filter Holder until all steam has been
released, and all parts are cool enough to touch.
8. After all the steam is safely released and all parts have cooled,
remove the Filter Holder by turning the Handle to the left until the
Handle is positioned under the arrow marked “open” and
separates from the Espresso Maker. Flip the Filter Handle Clip
forward so that it holds the Filter Basket in place. Turn the Filter
Holder upside-down and tap out the grounds (see Figure 6). Fold
the Filter Handle Clip back along the Handle before the next use.
9. Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance
repair technician.
1. Unplug the Espresso Maker from the electrical outlet and allow to
cool completely before cleaning.
CAUTION: The Filter Basket and Filter Holder are hot after brewing.
Allow to cool thoroughly before touching.
2. The Filter Holder and Filter Basket should be emptied
and rinsed thoroughly with warm water after every use.
If necessary, clean the Filter Basket with a kitchen brush. A pin
may be used to clear any clogged holes. Dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: The Steam Tube may be hot. Allow to cool completely.
3. The Steam Tube Cover pulls down and off the Steam Tube for easy
cleaning. Hand wash the Steam Tube Cover in hot water. From
time to time, use a pin to clean the hole in the end of the Steam
Tube. Dry the Steam Tube and replace the Steam Tube Cover
after cleaning.
4. To remove the Drip Tray, remove the Carafe from the Drip Plate.
Remove the Filter Holder from the machine. Remove the Drip
Plate and then the Drip Tray. Empty water, rinse, and replace.
5. Wipe the outside of your Espresso Maker with a damp cloth. Never
use solvents or any detergents that may scratch or damage the
surface of the machine.
6. NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID.
9
DESCALING
Your Espresso Maker should be regularly descaled. Distilled white
vinegar may be used to descale the appliance. We suggest the
following intervals:
• Normal water: every 6 months
• Hard water: every 3 months
• Very hard water: every 6 to 8 weeks
1. Remove the Filter Basket from its Holder. Fit the empty Filter
Holder into the Espresso Maker as described in the section:
BREWING ESPRESSO.
2. Fill the Glass Carafe with distilled white vinegar and pour into
Water Tank.
3. Place the empty Glass Carafe back onto the Drip Tray.
4. Turn the Function Control Knob to the
ESPRESSO position; the
Power ON Light will illuminate and the vinegar will begin to flow
through the machine. When all of the vinegar has flowed into the
Carafe, turn the Function Control Knob to the OFF position. The
Power ON Light will go off. Empty the Carafe and allow the
Espresso Maker to cool. Repeat the process if necessary.
5. To clean/descale the Steam Tube, place a heat-resistant frothing
pitcher under the Steam Nozzle. Carefully open the Function
Control Knob toward the end of the cleaning process by turning
the knob counterclockwise. Beware of hot escaping steam.
6. After descaling, flush your machine by operating 2 or 3 times
using fresh, cold water and clean all detachable parts. You can
help prevent build-up of deposits, especially in hard water areas,
by leaving your machine empty between uses.
