FIRST‐TIME OPERATION:
WARNING: PARTS OF THIS MACHINE GET VERY HOT DURING OPERATION.
HANDLE WITH CARE.
1. Fill the boiler with water until the water level reaches the top of the sight glass. Make
sure that the lever is lowered.
2. Add ½ packet of coffee descaler (enclosed). If you don’t have descaler, add 1 teaspoon
of sodium carbonate.
3. Close the boiler cap and steam knob (Fig. 1).
4. Plug in the machine and turn on the power switch. Wait until it
reaches the proper operating temperature. The green pressure light
will go out when it is ready.
5. Leave the machine on for 15 minutes. Some water may exit from the
safety valve. Place a paper towel over the base or let the water drip
into the basin.
6. After 15 minutes place a container under the group and slowly raise
the lever.
7. Let the water pour out until the sight glass shows 1/4 tank of water remaining.
8. Lower the lever and turn off the power. You may then raise the lever again and allow
the remaining water to exit.
9. When all water and steam has exited, repeat steps 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Do not use the
descaler this time.
STEP‐BY‐STEP INSTRUCTIONS
WARMING UP THE MACHINE
1. With the unit unplugged, remove the boiler cap and fill the boiler with water
until the water level reaches the top of the sight glass (Fig 2).
2. Close both the boiler cap and the steam knob firmly, turning both clockwise
(Fig. 1).
3. Plug in the power cord. Be sure that the lever is lowered.
4. Turn on the red power switch. The red power light and the green pressure light
will light up. After about 7‐10 minutes the green light will go off, indicating that
your machine has reached the correct operating temperature. This green light
will cycle on and off as you use your machine.
5. When the green pressure light goes off, place a cup or a towel under the steam
tube.
6. Open the steam knob for a few seconds and close. This activates the internal
pressurestat and eliminates any air that is in the system. The green light will light again.
When this light goes off again, the machine has reached the proper operating
temperature and is ready to use.
