Be sure to use a quality grinder or Burr Mill for uniform consistency in your espresso grind. Oval shaped coffee grinders are not recommended because the grind is not consistent. 5 BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST CARAFE Please refer to Page 5 for Diagram of Parts. OF ESPRESSO 1. Turn the control knob to the "OFF" position and make sure that the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet. First remove and then wash the carafe, lid, filter basket and filter holder in a mixture of mild detergent and water. See "How to Brew Espresso" below for instructions on removal and replacement of filter basket and holder. To clean the inside of the machine, follow steps for "How to Brew Espresso" below, using water only. Do not immerse the appliance in water or attempt to reach any internal parts of the machine. HOW TO BREW ESPRESSO 1. Fill the glass carafe with cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of servings of espresso or cappuccino. For best results, we recommend frothing the milk in a separate pitcher and pouring the milk into your coffee. We also recommend a stainless steel frothing pitcher and a beverage thermometer, if you own one, for preparing the best froth and steamed milk. Therefore, fill the glass carafe with cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of servings. (See Chart from "How to Brew Espresso" on Page 6) · For 2 servings, fill the decanter with water to the midpoint between the 2 and 4 cup markings. · For 4 servings, fill the decanter with water up to the top of the metal band. 3. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk and set next to machine. If steam does not flow through the frothing tube, the tube may be blocked with milk. After the appliance has cooled, clean the frothing tube with a needle. The carafe, carafe lid, filter holder, filter basket, and drip tray can be washed with soapy water or placed on the top rack only of your dishwasher. Discard the remaining water through the top opening of the water reservoir by turning the appliance upside down over the sink. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they will scratch the finish. [. . . ] Repeat this rinsing process twice, allowing the machine to cool and pressure to be released before each rinsing. CARAFE CLEANING Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the carafe. Coffee discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the carafe. 10 PROBLEMS PROBLEM Coffee does not come out AND CAUSES SOLUTIONS · Add water · Grind coffee medium ground · Fill filter only to 4 Cup mark · Tighten cap · Plug unit into electrical outlet.
