Before making your first carafe of espresso, we suggest that you let the water brew through the machine two times without coffee, following the instructions.This will thoroughly clean the unit. e 1. Make sure the function knob is in the “OFF” position. Plug the espresso/cappuccino maker into a 120V AC electrical outlet. 2. Remove the safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise and remove from the appliance. 3. For espresso fill carafe to two or four cups of cold water, using the markings on the carafe for reference.For cappuccino, fill the carafe to for 2 cups or to the bottom of the metal band for 4 cups. Pour water into the water reservoir. 4. Close the safety lid tightly by turning clockwise. 5. Remove the filter basket and holder from the espresso/cappuccino maker by turning clockwise. With the measuring spoon, measure espresso coffee and place into the filter basket. (Do not compress/tap the coffee.) NOTE: Be sure to use coffee which is MEDIUM TO FINE GROUND. 6. Place the filter basket into the filter holder. 7. Pull back the tab and insert the filter holder into the brewing head lock aligning the arrow on the filter holder with the on the machine. Push the filter holder upward so it will be aligned with the matching slots. Turn handle counter-clockwise until securely locked. Place the cover on the carafe and return the carafe to the drip plate. Align hole in lid under filter. 8. Switch the function knob to “BREW.” 9. After approximately four minutes, espresso coffee will flow into the carafe. NOTE: For cappuccino, refer immediately to the Making Cappuccino section. 10. Do not open the safety lid or remove the filter holder during the brewing process – scalding may occur. 11. When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the function knob to the “OFF” position. 12. BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER HOLDER OR THE SAFETY LID,TURN THE FUNCTION KNOB TO AND WAIT UNTIL NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROM THE STEAM JET. Then turn the function knob back to the “OFF” position. 4 Making Cappuccino 1. Cappuccino is a mixture of espresso coffee, milk and frothed milk. Fill a deep, narrow metal pitcher 1/2 full with fresh, cold milk and set next to the espresso/cappuccino maker. 2. Place the frothing booster tip up over the end of the steam jet. Follow Steps 1 through 9 on page 4 for making espresso. 3. When the coffee starts to flow into the carafe, hold the pitcher by the handle and bring up to the steam jet. Insert froth booster tip just under the surface of the milk. Turn the function knob gradually to and froth the milk. Move the pitcher in a slightly circular motion. REMINDER: Before frothing milk, make sure the tip of the froth boother tip is just under the surface of the milk. Otherwise, splattering may occur. 4. After frothing, turn the function knob to “BREW,” to allow the appliance to complete the espresso making process. 5. Remove the pitcher from the steam jet. 6. When the coffee has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the function knob to the “OFF” position. 7. BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER HOLDER OR THE SAFETY LID,TURN THE FUNCTION KNOB TO AND WAIT UNTIL NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROM THE STEAM JET. This will allow any extra steam to be released and will clean the steam jet of any excess milk. Then turn the function knob back to the “OFF” position. 8. Serve the hot, frothy milk by spooning it on top of your cup of espresso. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since it separates from the heated milk. The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold, skim milk is used. When frothing milk, the volume of milk will double. The top half will be frothed, the bottom half will be milk. Fill a cappuccino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso coffee. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk and top with frothed milk. 5 User Maintenance Instructions 1.
