• Never use the appliance without water.
• When the appliance is not in use, keep the control knob in the OFF position.
• DO NOT unscrew or attempt to remove the safety lid while the appliance is in operation. Wait until the brewing cycle is complete and all the water and steam have exited from the appliance to unscrew or remove the safety lid.
• The carafe is designed for use with this appliance only. Never use a cracked carafe or a carafe with a loose or weakened handle. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or steel wool pads to clean the carafe.
• This appliance is for household use only.
• DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself.
Electrical Cord
The cord on this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If additional length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 120V. When using an extension cord, DO NOT let the extension cord drape over the working area or dangle where someone could easily trip over it.
For longer cord life, avoid pulling the cord from the outlet.
This product is only intended for household use with 120V.
Making Espresso 1. Make sure the control knob is in the OFF position.
2. Remove the safety lid by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. Fill the carafe with 2 to 4 cups of cold water, using the level markings on the carafe to measure the water.
4. Pour the water into the water reservoir.
5. Close the safety lid by turning clockwise.
6. Remove the filter basket and filter by turning left. Measure the proper amount of ground espresso coffee and place it into the filter basket.
7. Place the filter basket into the filter holder.
8. Insert the filter holder into the brew head by pushing it upward so it is aligned with the matching slots. Turn the handle right until it is securely locked into place.
9. Place the lid on the carafe and place the carafe in position on the detachable drip plate.
10. Turn the control knob to BREW.
11. After approximately 4 minutes, espresso will begin to flow into the carafe.
12. DO NOT open the safety lid or remove the filter holder during the brewing process. Scalding may occur.
13. When espresso has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the control knob
to the OFF position.
Making Cappuccino
Cappuccino is easily made by combining espresso coffee, milk and frothed milk.
1. Fill a tall, narrow pitcher with fresh cold milk. Low-fat or skim milk is preferred.
2. Follow steps 1-12 for making espresso coffee.
3. As the coffee begins to flow into the carafe, hold the pitcher under the frother. Insert the frother just under the surface of the milk. Turn the control knob slowly to the maximum steam position. Moving the pitcher in a circular direction, use the control knob to achieve the desired froth.
Make sure the frother is under the milk surface to avoid splattering.
4. When frothing is complete, turn the knob back to the BREW position to finish the brewing process.
5. When espresso has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
6. Before removing the safety lid or the filter holder, turn the control knob to the MAXIMUM STEAM position and wait until steam is no longer flowing from the steam nozzle. Then turn the control knob to the OFF position.
7. Fill the cappuccino cup with 1/3 espresso. Pour an equal amount of heated milk from the frothing pitcher and top with frothed milk by spooning the frothed milk into the cup.
14. Before removing the safety lid or the filter holder, turn the control knob to
the MAXIMUM STEAM position and wait until steam is no longer flowing
from the steam nozzle. Then turn the control knob to the OFF position.
