OVERHEAT PROTECTION
The Easy-Brew Espresso Machine comes equipped with overheat protection to avoid
damaging the heating element if the unit gets too hot or if the unit goes dry or starts without
water. If the unit overheats, the SINGLE-SHOT, DOUBLE-SHOT, and MANUAL coee buttons
will blink rapidly and will not turn solid again for use until the unit has cooled. In extreme cases,
the heater and/or fuse will stop working and the unit will automatically shut o. If it does not
come back on after cooling, contact Chefman

Customer Support. To ensure a long life of your
espresso machine, always allow it to rest briefly between consecutive uses and avoid heating
it with water below the MIN line.
