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 on 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, position the
steam wand over the drip tray 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
Before brewing espresso you will want
to pre-heat both the filter holder and the
cup(s) you will use to serve your espres-
so. Use the following procedure.
Make sure that the ready light is on
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).
