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.
Making Espresso Coffee
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/cappucci-
no 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 REMOVINGTHE FILTER HOLDER ORTHE SAFETY
LID,TURN THE FUNCTION KNOB TO
AND WAIT UNTIL
NO FURTHER STEAM EMERGES FROMTHE STEAM JET.
Then turn the function knob back to the “OFF” position.

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, splat-
tering 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 REMOVINGTHE FILTER HOLDER ORTHE SAFETY
LID,TURNTHE FUNCTION KNOBTO
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 cappuc-
cino cup 1/3 full of freshly brewed espresso coffee. Pour in an equal
amount of warm milk and top with frothed milk.

and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. The coffee filter basket and holder should be emptied and rinsed
thoroughly with warm water after every use. Dry thoroughly.
3. Clean the carafe and carafe lid with warm, soapy water. Handle
with extreme care, as glass will become slippery when wet.

5. Wipe the outside of your espresso/cappuccino maker with a damp
cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUID.
6. This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY!
Descaling
If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water
will accumulate and affect the operation of your machine.
Approximately every six months (this can vary depending on water
conditions and frequency of use), your espresso/cappuccino maker
should be cleaned with distilled vinegar in the following manner in
order to remove the mineral deposits, also referred to as scale.
1. Before cleaning your espresso/cappuccino maker, make sure the
function knob is in the “OFF” position and the appliance has
been disconnected from the wall outlet.
2. Fill the carafe with distilled vinegar and pour into the reservoir as
you would with water.
3. Securely fasten the safety lid.
4. Attach empty coffee filter basket and holder.
5. Place carafe onto drip plate.
6. Plug the espresso/cappuccino maker into 120V AC electrical
outlet.
7. Turn function knob to “BREW.” In a few minutes, the hot vinegar
will start to flow through the coffee basket into the carafe.

Descaling (Continued)
8. Place steam jet into a tall glass or mug. Move function knob
to
position during the flowing process only for a few seconds.
This will clean any residue left in the tube from the milk steaming
process.
9. Turn function knob back to “BREW,” permitting the hot vinegar to
continue to flow in the carafe.
10. When the flow has stopped, turn function knob to “OFF”
position and allow to cool completely. Then remove basket,
filter, carafe and rinse with hot water.
11. Repeat above steps using cold water to rinse away any residual
vinegar. Repeat twice.
