OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Congratulations! You are the owner of a GE espresso/cappuccino maker. This unique appliance has been designed to provide you with delicious espresso/cappuccino quickly and conveniently. Espresso is a flavorful coffee beverage utilizing a unique method of brewing. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular coffee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 1-1/2 to 2 oz. portions, in demitasse cups.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The Grind This is a vital step in the espresso making process and takes practice. The coffee must be ground fine, but not too fine • The correct grind should look gritty, like salt or sand. • If the grind is too fine, the water will not flow through the coffee even under pressure. Grounds that are too fine look like powder and feel like flour when rubbed between the fingers.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (FIGURE 1) 3. Scoop fresh fine ground espresso into the filter basket to the appropriate number of servings. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This will assure proper fit under the brew head. ATTENTION: a. Do not pack coffee. b. Do not overfill the filter basket. This might cause clogging or over flow. 4. Place the filter retainer clip in the release position, by pulling the clip back toward you hand.
OPERATING Instructions Brewing Espresso… 1. Make sure the reservoir plate on the drip tray is in place. Place the cover on the glass carafe so the lid opening faces the spout, and set it on the reservoir plate. 2. Make sure the steam selector control knob is in the “O”, OFF position. 3. Plug the power cord into a 120v electrical outlet. 4. Rotate the selector control knob to the “cup” position. The light will illuminate to let you know the machine is on. See figure 3. (FIGURE 3) 5.
OPERATING instructions 1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore, pour in sufficient water for the required quantity of espresso, plus enough water for the production of steam. Example: For 2 servings, fill water to the midpoint between the 2 and 4 cup markings. 2. Follow steps 1-4 on “Brewing Espresso”. 3. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk or half and half and set next to the machine. Skim milk or 2% will be the easiest to froth. 4.
CLEANING 1. Unplug the appliance power cord. 2. Clean the steam nozzle immediately after foaming milk by allowing the appliance to produce steam for another 1-2 seconds, which will clear the nozzle. Remove the plastic cover by pulling it free. The metal steam nozzle underneath can be unscrewed in a counter-clockwise direction. Wipe nozzle with a damp cloth. Clean the nozzle with a needle if it is still blocked. The nozzle must be screwed on again in a clockwise direction. Tighten using reasonable force. 3.
CLEANING Your espresso maker may be delimed using while household vinegar. Clean the water tank first, following steps 1-5; 1. Make sure the steam selector control knob is in the center OFF position and that the plug is disconnected from the electrical outlet. 2. If the machine is cool and the pressure has been released (see section CAUTION PRESSURE), remove the boiler cap and pour 8 ounces of undiluted white household vinegar into the water tank. 3.
