10444_IB_3-5-02 5/3/02 3:19 PM Page 3 Read these instructions before using your Espresso Maker and keep them in a safe place for future reference. If you pass the Espresso Maker on to anyone else, pass on the instructions too. Remove all packaging, but keep it until you’re satisfied that the Espresso Maker is working. Important safeguards When using electrical appliances, follow basic safety precautions, including: 1.Take care — the espresso maker uses steam under pressure. 2.
10444_IB_3-5-02 5/3/02 3:19 PM Page 4 Safety valve In the unlikely event of the normal controls failing, a safety valve in the pressure cap will open automatically and release excess pressure. If this happens, don’t touch the espresso maker. Unplug it and let it cool down for at least one hour before trying to release the pressure or open the pressure cap.
10444_IB_3-5-02 5/3/02 3:19 PM Page 5 The control The control switches the element on and off and operates the valve. The “Heating” light indicates when the element is on. The positions are, anti-clockwise from the bottom: Hot water for coffee: the valve directs the output from the boiler to the brewing head to make coffee, the heater is switched on. Off closed: the valve is closed, the heater is switched off.
10444_IB_3-5-02 5/3/02 3:19 PM Page 6 Releasing steam Before you can remove the pressure cap safely, you have to release the steam remaining in the pressure tank. Warning: To avoid the risk of scalding, keep fingers, hands, etc. clear of the escaping steam. 21.Unplug the espresso maker from the power socket (switch the socket off first if it’s switchable). 22.Hold an empty mug or jug up to the milk frother, with the bottom of the milk frother well below the rim of the cup. 23.
10444_IB_3-5-02 5/3/02 3:19 PM Page 7 Follow points 1 to 18, then jump to point 31. At point 3, add extra water (half a cup to a cup), to generate the steam to heat and froth the milk. Use the carafe to measure the water. For 2 cups of coffee, fill the carafe to between the 2 and 3 cup marks, for 4 cups, fill to just below the spout. Don’t try to make too much froth at one time. Too much steam will flatten the milk, rather than froth it, leaving you with nothing but hot, watery milk.
10444_IB_3-5-02 5/3/02 3:19 PM Page 8 Removing the drip tray, cover, and frother To lift the drip tray cover, insert a fingertip in the indent on its right and lift it out. You can then lift the drip tray out (try not to spill the drips). To remove the milk frother, support the steam pipe with one hand and pull the milk frother gently down with the other hand. To refit, push the milk frother up the steam pipe until you feel resistance, then 15mm more (a bit over half an inch).
