    							DESCALING
    Your Espresso Maker should be regularly descaled. Distilled white
    vinegar may be used to descale the appliance. We suggest the
    following intervals:
    • Normal water: every 6 months
    • Hard water: every 3 months
    • Very hard water: every 6 to 8 weeks
    1. Remove the Filter Basket from its Holder. Fit the empty Filter
    Holder into the Espresso Maker as described in the section:
    BREWING ESPRESSO.
    2. Fill the Glass Carafe with distilled white vinegar and pour into
    Water Tank.
    3. Place the empty Glass Carafe back onto the Drip Tray.
    4. Turn the Function Control Knob to the  ESPRESSO position; the
    Power ON Light will illuminate and the vinegar will begin to flow
    through the machine. When all of the vinegar has flowed into the
    Carafe, turn the Function Control Knob to the OFF position. The
    Power ON Light will go off. Empty the Carafe and allow the
    Espresso Maker to cool. Repeat the process if necessary.
    5. To clean/descale the Steam Tube, place a heat-resistant frothing
    pitcher under the Steam Nozzle. Carefully open the Function
    Control Knob toward the end of the cleaning process by turning
    the knob counterclockwise. Beware of hot escaping steam.
    6. After descaling, flush your machine by operating 2 or 3 times
    using fresh, cold water and clean all detachable parts. You can
    help prevent build-up of deposits, especially in hard water areas,
    by leaving your machine empty between uses.

    							PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
    In Italy, cappuccino is usually 1 part espresso to 2 parts milk plus
    froth. Americans love to add cinnamon, sugar, shaved chocolate,
    nutmeg and/or various liquors to taste.
    NOTE: The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold skim milk is
    used. When frothing milk, the volume of the milk will double.
    1. Make sure the Steam Tube Cover is properly attached to the Steam
    Tube before beginning to froth the milk.
    2. Prepare espresso as described in the section: BREWING
    ESPRESSO. Add extra water to the Water Tank to create steam to
    froth milk. Use the Glass Carafe to measure the correct volume of
    water needed. For 2 cups, add water until it reaches the bottom of
    the handle ring on the Glass Carafe. For 4 cups, add water until it
    reaches the Pour Spout on the Glass Carafe.
    3. Once the brewed espresso reaches the  STEAM
    mark
    on the Carafe, hold a frothing pitcher by the
    handle and bring up to the Steam Nozzle. Insert
    the tip of the Nozzle just under the surface of the
    milk. Turn the Function Control Knob to 
    STEAM and begin to froth the milk. 
    REMINDER: Before frothing, make sure the tip of the
    Steam Nozzle is just under the surface of the milk.
    Otherwise, splattering may occur. See Figure 7.
    CAUTION: Take extra care as steam is very hot and
    will  also cause the milk to become very hot.
    4. When the milk reaches desired froth consistency, turn the Function
    Control Knob back to  ESPRESSO. Brewing will resume. 
    NOTE: When preparing cappuccino, use a cappuccino cup with a
    capacity of at least 5 ounces. Fill each cup half-full with espresso.
    5. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since it
    separates from the heated milk. The top half will be frothed, the
    bottom half will be milk. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk
    into each cup of espresso. Spoon the frothed milk onto the top.
    6. Clear the Steam Tube of milk BEFORE brewing is finished, as dried
    milk can be difficult to remove. To do this, put a container in
    place under the Steam Tube to catch the excess milk and turn the
    Function Control Knob  STEAM. Turn the Function Control
    Knob back to      ESPRESSO to complete brewing. After brewing is
    completed, turn the Function Control Knob to OFF.
    CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.
    7.FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE
    REMOVING THE PRESSURE
    CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE
    PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. TO
    RELEASE STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK, TURN THE
    FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE   STEAM POSITION

    process a second time. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy
    water. Rinse, dry and assemble as instructed.
    BREWING ESPRESSO
    1. Before filling the Water Tank, make sure the Espresso Maker
    Function Control Knob is turned to the OFF position and the unit is
    unplugged from the electrical outlet. Unscrew the Pressure Cap on
    top of the machine by turning it counterclockwise. Lift and turn to
    remove the Lid.
    2. To fill the Water Tank, use the Glass Carafe to measure the volume
    of fresh cold water required. Do not overfill. The Glass Carafe is
    marked with water levels for 2 cup (minimum) and 4 cups
    (maximum). Care should be taken to ensure that the correct
    amount of water is placed in the Tank, as the Espresso Maker
    always uses all the water.
    3. Close the Pressure Cap tightly by turning it clockwise.
    4. Place the Filter Basket into the Filter Holder (see
    Figure 2). Add the desired quantity of espresso
    coffee to the Filter Basket using the Measuring
    Scoop provided (see Figure 3). Spread the
    espresso coffee evenly in the Filter Basket and
    lightly press it down. Special marks on the
    inside of the Filter show the correct espresso
    coffee levels for 2 and 4 cups. Remove excess
    espresso coffee from the edge of the Filter.
    5. Make sure the Filter Handle Clip is unfolded
    and resting back along the Filter Holder
    Handle. Position the Filter Holder beneath the
    water outlet, under the arrow marked “open” 
    and fit it onto the machine. Push it upwards and
    turn to the right to lock to the “close” position.
    NOTE: With one hand on the Pressure Cap, push
    the Filter Holder firmly to the right to lock in
    position. The Handle will be locked when it is
    positioned under the arrow marked “close    
    (see Figure 4).
    6. Place the Lid on the Carafe with the arrow 
    pointing opposite the Pour Spout.

    							PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
    In Italy, cappuccino is usually 1 part espresso to 2 parts milk plus
    froth. Americans love to add cinnamon, sugar, shaved chocolate,
    nutmeg and/or various liquors to taste.
    NOTE: The best frothed milk is obtained when fresh, cold skim milk is
    used. When frothing milk, the volume of the milk will double.
    1. Make sure the Steam Tube Cover is properly attached to the Steam
    Tube before beginning to froth the milk.
    2. Prepare espresso as described in the section: BREWING
    ESPRESSO. Add extra water to the Water Tank to create steam to
    froth milk. Use the Glass Carafe to measure the correct volume of
    water needed. For 2 cups, add water until it reaches the bottom of
    the handle ring on the Glass Carafe. For 4 cups, add water until it
    reaches the Pour Spout on the Glass Carafe.
    3. Once the brewed espresso reaches the  STEAM
    mark
    on the Carafe, hold a frothing pitcher by the
    handle and bring up to the Steam Nozzle. Insert
    the tip of the Nozzle just under the surface of the
    milk. Turn the Function Control Knob to 
    STEAM and begin to froth the milk. 
    REMINDER: Before frothing, make sure the tip of the
    Steam Nozzle is just under the surface of the milk.
    Otherwise, splattering may occur. See Figure 7.
    CAUTION: Take extra care as steam is very hot and
    will  also cause the milk to become very hot.
    4. When the milk reaches desired froth consistency, turn the Function
    Control Knob back to  ESPRESSO. Brewing will resume. 
    NOTE: When preparing cappuccino, use a cappuccino cup with a
    capacity of at least 5 ounces. Fill each cup half-full with espresso.
    5. The froth will not readily pour from the container, since it
    separates from the heated milk. The top half will be frothed, the
    bottom half will be milk. Pour in an equal amount of warm milk
    into each cup of espresso. Spoon the frothed milk onto the top.
    6. Clear the Steam Tube of milk BEFORE brewing is finished, as dried
    milk can be difficult to remove. To do this, put a container in
    place under the Steam Tube to catch the excess milk and turn the
    Function Control Knob  STEAM. Turn the Function Control
    Knob back to      ESPRESSO to complete brewing. After brewing is
    completed, turn the Function Control Knob to OFF.
    CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.
    7.FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE
    REMOVING THE PRESSURE
    CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE
    PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. TO
    RELEASE STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK, TURN THE
    FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB TO THE   STEAM POSITION
    (THE POWER ON LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE) AND WAIT UNTIL
