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. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely
supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
4. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must
be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from
spilled, hot liquid.
5. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
do not immerse cord, plug, or espresso maker in water or
other liquid.
6. Unplug from outlet when the espresso maker is not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts and before cleaning the appliance.
7. Appliance must be operated on a flat surface away from the
edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and
repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Call the provided customer service number for information on
examination, repair, or adjustment.
9. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including the stove.
12. Be certain filter holder is securely in place when brewing
espresso. Scalding may occur if the filter holder is removed
during the brewing cycle.
13. Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner
or in a heated oven.
14. To disconnect appliance, turn controls to OFF (O) and then
remove plug from wall outlet.
15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove the top or bottom covers. No user-serviceable parts are
inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel
only.
16. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by
using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a
longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

How to Use
21 3
Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of
ground espresso for each cup
being made. Use shallow filter
for 1 cup and deep filter for 2
cups. Press grounds firmly with
tamping tool and ensure no
grounds remain on the rim.
Align raised dimple on the
exterior of ground espresso/pod
filter with cutout notch on inside
of filter holder. Rotate filter holder
180º to secure.
Fill the removable water reservoir
to the MAX fill line with cold
water and replace securely on the
back of unit.
Place pod into filter. When using
an ESE (Easy Serving Espresso)
pod, always use the shallower
espresso/pod filter. Never put two
pods in either filter at one time.
3
NOTE: Ensure there are no grounds on the rim of the filter holder. This
prevents a proper seal from forming and may damage the machine.

Tips for Making Espresso
• For best results, use fresh-ground, dark, espresso roast coffee.
• If espresso preground coffee is used, store the unused portion in an airtight container and keep in a cool, dark area for up to one
week.
• The grind of the coffee will affect the taste of the coffee and how the appliance works. If the grind is too coarse, water will flow too
fast through the coffee and result in a weaker flavor. If the grind is too fine, the flavor may be too strong or bitter, and the grounds may
clog the filter.
• For hotter espresso, preheat the filter holder, the ground espresso filter, and the pod filter by first brewing water into the cups for a few
seconds and then emptying the brewed water.
wCAUTION Burn Hazard. The metal parts of the filter holder may be hot.
• Espresso beans may be ground in a coffee grinder. For best results, use a coffee grinder on the fine setting. If grinding espresso in a
store or using a burr mill, then use a setting that is one to two notches coarser than the espresso setting.
• Grind your espresso so that it looks gritty, like salt or sand. It is too fine if it looks like powder and feels like flour. If the coffee is ground
too fine, then the water will not flow through the coffee.
• Espresso pods make it even easier to brew a great cup of espresso and cleanup is as easy as throwing out the used pod. Pods can be
purchased at many local coffee houses and specialty housewares stores. A Web search for “coffee pods” will also connect you with
many coffee pod suppliers.
• Always use cold water to make coffee. Warm water or other liquids could cause damage to the appliance.
• Filtered water will make the best-tasting coffee.

17
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Espresso will not flow out. • Is the water reservoir empty?
• Is the water reservoir properly fitted into position?
• Make sure that the coffee grounds are not overpacked in the filter.
• Is filter holder properly fitted into the espresso maker?
• Clean the filter, filter holder, and brew head.
• Holes in filter holder may be clogged. Clear with a toothpick or straightened paper clip.
Machine is noisy when operating. • Is the water reservoir empty?
• Is the water reservoir properly fitted into position?
• Is the filter holder properly fitted into position?
Espresso is too weak. • Always use fresh espresso ground coffee and tamp the ground coffee down firmly.
• The longer the brew time, the weaker the espresso (1 serving = 1 to 1 1/2 ounces [28–43 g]).
• Be sure there is sufficient ground coffee in the filter.
• Coffee grounds are too coarse.
• Try a different brand or roast of coffee.
Espresso is too strong or bitter. • Too much ground espresso was used.
• Grounds were too fine.
• Brew longer before turning control knob back to STANDBY.
Difficult to froth milk. • Always use fresh, cold milk (skim milk is recommended).
• Use a cold, stainless steel cup and move the cup slightly up and down while frothing.
• Clean the frothing nozzle.
• Trying to froth too much milk; reduce amount of milk in cup.

risque d’électrocution. Cette fiche n’entre que dans un seul sens dans
une prise polarisée. Ne contrecarrez pas l’objectif sécuritaire de cette
fiche en la modifiant de quelque manière que ce soit ou en utilisant
un adaptateur. Si vous ne pouvez pas insérer complètement la fiche
dans la prise, inversez la fiche. Si elle refuse toujours de s’insérer, faire
remplacer la prise par un électricien.
La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélectionnée afin de
réduire les risques d’enchevêtrement ou de faux pas causés par un fil

est trop court. Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge doivent être
équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de l’appareil. Prendre
toutes les précautions nécessaires pour installer la rallonge de manière
à ne pas la faire courir sur le comptoir ou sur une table pour éviter qu’un
enfant ne tire sur le cordon ou trébuche accidentellement.
Pour éviter la surcharge du circuit électrique, ne pas utiliser un autre
appareil à haute puissance sur le même circuit que cet appareil.
