SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE / PRE-HEATING

SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE

1) Refer to Important Safeguards to make sure the machine is located in a safe place.

2) Your machine has been factory designed to operate at a specific voltage. Refer to the identification label on the bottom of your machine to make sure that the outlet you intend to use supplies the proper voltage and that the circuit it belongs to is rated for the machine's power requirements. If an extension cord is needed make sure that it also has the appropriate rating and meets or exceeds all safety standards.

3) Filling the water tank

• Remove the water tank cover and

carefully take the two hoses out of the tank.

Remove the water tank from the machine, rinse it thoroughly, and fill it with fresh, cold water. We recommend using only filtered or bottled water. Never use anything other than cold water in your machine.

• Place the water tank back in the machine and reinsert the hoses into the tank. Place the water tank cover back on the tank.

4) Plugging in your machine

Make sure the power switch is in the up and off position. Also make sure the other switches are in the up and off position.

• Make sure the outlet you are using is appropriate for the machine and then plug the machine in.

• Turn the power switch on. The switch will illuminate to indicate that the machine is on.

• Be sure to prime the machine right away using the following instructions.

5) Priming the machine

• The machine must always be primed before use and after steaming. It is also a good idea to prime the machine after filling the water tank or if the machine has been left on but not used for some time.

Priming the machine ensures that there is adequate water in the system for its normal

• operation and failure to do so could result in serious damage to your machine.

To prime your machine, place a container under the steam wand and fully open the hot water / steam knob by turning it counter clockwise.

• Press the brew switch and wait until a steady stream of water flows from the steam wand.

• Allow at least 4 oz. of water to flow and then turn off the brew switch and close the knob.

PRE-HEATING

11

• Before brewing espresso you will want to pre-heat both the filter holder and the cup(s) you will use to serve your espresso. Use the following procedure.

• Make sure that the not ready indicator is off and then insert the filter holder, with empty filter basket in place, into the brew head of the machine. Turn the handle of the filter holder from left to right until it is securely in place. When you release the handle it will automatically spring slightly back to the left. This indicates that the filter holder is operating properly.

• Place your cup(s) to be warmed directly beneath the two outlets on the bottom of the filter holder.

• Turn the brew switch on, the pump will come on and after a few seconds water will begin to flow into the cup(s).
