[. . . ] COFFEE STE AM ESPRESSO/ C APPUCCINO MAKER READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE ® IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following: 1. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs or machine in water or other liquids. Turn control knob to "OFF" and unplug from electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance. [. . . ] Do not fill to the top of the reservoir or there will not be enough area to generate steam. Check to make sure the control knob is in the "OFF" position. Fill with fresh, fine ground espresso coffee to the 2 or 4 cup mark of the filter basket. Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so that the handle is positioned to the left of center. (See Figure 2) Lift the filter holder up and insert into the brew head. Rotate handle completely to the right until it stops at the "LOCK" position. (See Figure 2) ROTATE FILTER HOLDER TO HERE LOCK (This symbol is on your unit) BREWING ESPRESSO ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO, PLEASE REFER TO THE NEXT SECTION "HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO. Place the cover on the carafe so the lid opening faces the spout, and set it on the drip tray. The filter holder nozzle should rest above the aperature of the decanter lid. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and rotate the control knob upward to the "cup" symbol, which begins the brewing process. When the espresso has stopped flowing into the carafe, turn the control knob to the "OFF" position. Do not remove reservoir cap until the pressure in the machine has been released. Follow procedures in section marked "CAUTION: PRESSURE" on Page 3. FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 CAUTION: Do not remove reservoir cap or filter holder at any time while the appliance is under pressure or until the appliance has cooled down. As soon as the espresso reaches the steaming symbol on the glass carafe, turn the control knob to the OFF position. At this time the unit has created enough pressure and steam to start frothing the milk. Frothing the milk before finishing the espresso prevents you from running out of steam. 5. Hold the pitcher under the frothing tube so that the frothing aid is slightly immersed in the milk. Because warm milk does not froth, the milk should be frothed from just below the surface. (See Figure 4) 6. When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer, when the milk has reached 100°F insert the frothing aid deeper into the milk to further heat the milk. FIGURE 4 NOTE: FROTHING PITCHER NOT INCLUDED UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the frothing aid go above the surface of the milk. After frothing is completed, turn the control knob back to the "OFF" position. Turn the control knob to the "cup" position to finish making espresso. [. . . ] See Page 6 · Turn on unit with control knob · Following frothing stage, operate frothing function for 1 ­ 2 seconds to extract excess milk. Or, turn off unit, allow unit to cool, unplug unit and clean out frothing tube with a needle.
