Introduction
Your Flair 58 comes equipped with a preheat system on the brewing head that allows users to maintain a constant preheat during and in-between shots
of espresso. This Preheat System has three temperature tiers:
• Low Heat – roughly 85° C (185° F)
• Medium Heat – roughly 90° C (194° F)
• High Heat – roughly 95° C (203° F)
These temperature tiers are meant to loosely correspond to dierent roast levels: light, medium and dark but can be used as desired to dial-in your shot
of espresso for the best taste experience. Your Flair 58 Preheat System is not meant to boil your water, and cannot be used for anything other than its
intention of maintaining a constant temperature on your brew heat for enhanced thermal control. In all cases, the initial temperature of your brew water
should be managed with your kettle, prior to pouring into your Flair 58.
Further instructions can be found in our Quick Start Guide, provided with your Flair 58, or online at: https://airespresso.com/learn. There you will nd
video guides as well as downloads that will aid you in any troubleshooting. As always, if you do experience any issues, please reach out to our customer
support via the email address at the bottom of each page.

Preheat System Use Instructions
Before using the Preheat System it is important for each user to determine the level of preheat temperature they’d like: Low, Medium or High.
In addition, it is important to remember that the Preheat System is meant to maintain the temperature of the system while adding heated brew water.
It is not intended to be used as a method to heat your brew water. The heating and management of your brew water’s temperature should always be
managed with your kettle.
The Controller has one singular button with three green indicator lights. These lights have three states each: o, blinking and solid on. The indicators of
each of these states is listed below:
• OFF – This temperature level is o or inactive
• BLINKING – Indicates a heating stage
• SOLID ON – Indicates that the desired temperature has been reached
The three lights correspond to the dierent preheat temperature that has been selected: Low, Medium and High, from left to right across the controller.
Directions for selecting and preheating to each level are below.
Once a temperature setting has been reached, the Preheat System will maintain that setting until turned o. In order to reduce the level of your preheat
- from high to medium, or medium to low - simply use short presses of the button to quickly cycle through the various heat settings.

Preheat System Cleaning
Your Flair 58 Preheat system and brew head, if maintained correctly, will not require signicant maintenance. For best results, all cleanings should be
completed while the brew head is axed onto the portalter base of the Flair 58.
Please Note: The Preheat System must be turned o and allowed ample time (at least 15 minutes) to cool before any
cleaning is attempted. Failure to allow the system to cool adequately can result in burns.
Cleaning should be completed with cool water only, and a clean damp cloth. No soaps or detergents are needed and may damage your Flair 58 and your
Preheat System. Using soap can also impact the avor of your espresso.
WARNING: Never immerse, submerge, or fully rinse the components of the Preheat System in water. Also ensure that the
open connector points, both the four-pin and single-pin, male and female, are kept dry at all times. Failure to do this can
damage the system and will void the warranty.
To clean your Preheat System, follow these simple steps:
1. Remove plunger by pulling it out with stem while brewing cylinder is installed on base
2. Use damp cloth to wipe the inside and bottom of the brew head. Also wipe the plunger.
3. For more thorough cleaning, place a cup beneath your Flair 58 and ush with cool water before wiping. This can be repeated
multiple times to remove any coee residue
