3. Fill the filter basket with
ground espresso coffee
(see figure 2). Pack the
coffee lightly and clear
any excess coffee from
the rim of the filter hol-
der. This will ensure the
filter holder will fit pro-
perly into the brewing
head.
ATTENTION
Do Not Pack Coffee Tightly.
Do Not Fill More Coffee
Than Indicated By The
4-Cup Marking.
This might cause clogging
or overflow (see section
Problems & Causes).
4. Insert filter holder (e)
containing the filter bas-
ket and coffee into the
brewing head. The filter
holder must be inserted
so that the arrow on the
filter holder is in line with
the beginning of the line
on the machine. Press
the filter hoider upwards
and tum firmly to the
right until it can go no
further. The arrow on the
filter holder should be as
far right between the
"min" (minimum) -
"max" maximum range
as possible. If the arrow
is not at least in the
middle of the "min" -
"max" range, do ot ope-
rate the machine.
Rather, remove filter hol-
der and reinsert as
described above until
the arrow is within the
"min" - "max" range (see
figure 3). The "min" and
"max" markings have
nothing to do with the
strength of the coffee.
Following this procedure
will prevent the filter hol-
der from being dislodg-
ed as pressure builds up
during the brewing pro-
cess.
5. Unscrew the boiler cap
(a) by turning it counter
clockwise (see figure 4).
6. Using the glass carafe,
fill the boiler chamber
with fresh, cold water
(see figure 5).
Measuring Guidelines
The glass carafe (i) has
markings for 2 cups and
4 cups and steaming. .
2 cups of water yields
2 cups of espresso,
3 cups of water yie'lds
2 cups espresso, plus
steam for frothing l"I'Iilkfor

4 cups of water yields
4 cups espresso.
5-51/2 cups of water yields
4 cups of espresso, plus
steam for frothing milk for
cappuccino. 5-51/2 cups of
water is the upper rim of
the metal band surrounding
the carafe.
CAUTION
Never fill the boiler cham-
ber while your "IL Caffe
Grande" is in the "..a" or
"@" position.
It should be in the "0" (off)
position.
Never pour more than 12
oz. of water into the boiler
chamber.
7. Placethe boiler cap (a)
on the machine and turn
it clockwise until it is
secure (see figure 6).
8. Next, place the carafe
lid on the carafe (i) so
that the opening points
towards the pouring
spout on the carafe (see
figure 7).
9. Position the carafe
under the filter hoider.
Make sure that the
nozzle inthe filter holder
points through the open-
ing of the carafe lid (see
figure 8).
ATTENTION
Make sure that the overflow
grid G)is in place.
10.Tomake espresso
directly into the cups,
clip the cup adapter (g)
onto the filter holder
(see figure 9). Place
cups directly under the
two spouts (see figure
10).
