PREPARING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE 1.
Put the espresso machine on a dry, stable countertop or other flat, sturdy surface where you will be using the machine.
IMPORTANT: For first-time use or if the machine has not been used for some time, it is important that it is rinsed as follows:
2. Remove the lid of the water reservoir.
Using the handle, lift the water reservoir off the base and fill with fresh, cold drinking water. Replace the water reservoir on the base, and cover with the lid. Using the tracks as a guide, slide the water reservoir back into position and push down firmly to engage. Important: The unit will not function unless the water reservoir is properly in place.
3. Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press
the power button once to turn the espresso machine on. All of the controls on the front of the machine will flash while it’s pre-heating. Lights will turn steady when the unit is in ready mode (approximately 1 minute).
4. Make sure the drip tray and grate are in
place.
5. Place a mug on the drip tray. 6. Press the Manual
button and allow the
water to run through for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. Press once more to stop.
7.
Position espresso cups on the warming plate.
8. The machine is now in preheat/ready mode
and ready to use.
NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty or not properly positioned, the unit will not function. The Short
, Long , and Manual LEDs will
flash. Turn off the machine, fill the water reservoir, and turn the machine back on.
USING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE Always make sure you have water in the reservoir, a capsule in the brew head, and that the appropriate tray is being used.
NOTE: This machine is designed exclusively for use with illy’s iperEspresso capsules. Any other type of capsule, pod, or coffee cannot be used. Short or Long Pre-Programmed Espresso
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert
a capsule, and close the brew head.
2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup
tray, select either a SHORT
[1.2 ounces
(35 ml)] or LONG
[3 ounces (88 ml)]
espresso. (The selected function and Hotter Temperature setting LEDs remain on, while all the other LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again, the machine is ready for the next cycle.)
For optimal results, we recommend using the long
button with the blue "Lungo"
iperEspresso capsule. Using this setting with other iperEspresso varieties will alter the taste. NOTE: As part of illy patented technology in the iperEspresso capsule, the brewing process is completely self-contained in the capsule and does not get into the brew head. So there is no need to rinse in between cycles as there will be no transfer of flavour. CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing head is opened during brewing cycle.
Manual/Adjustable Strength Control Programming 1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert
a capsule, and close the brew head.
2.
For adjustable strength control, use the MANUAL
button to adjust the length of
time espresso is dispensing – the longer
you allow it to flow, the lighter it will be.

Energy Saver Mode After 30 minutes of non-use the espresso machine will automatically switch to sleep mode and all the control lights will be dimmed by about 50%. When any button is pressed, the espresso machine will return to
preheat mode and all the lights will flash. The machine is ready to operate when all the lights are steady again. Auto-Off Mode Following the 30-minute Energy Saver cycle, if there is an additional 30 minutes of non-use, the espresso machine will turn off. Press the power button to turn on again.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning External Parts We recommend regular cleaning of the espresso maker’s external components. 1. Never immerse the machine in water or
other liquids. The housing and external parts may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.
2. To remove the drip tray, simply slide it
toward you, keeping it level at all times in order to prevent spills. The drip tray and drip tray grate are dishwasher safe. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.
Cleaning the Water Reservoir It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting or staining to appear in the water reservoir. Results will vary depending on the mineral content of the bottled or filtered water used but will not affect the operation of the machine. However, be sure to clean the water reservoir regularly to minimize build-up. Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp, lint-free cloth as necessary.
