Please follow the below instructions, without adding ground espresso. USING THE ESPRESSO MAKER - Place the espresso maker on a flat level surface. Place the drip tray under the removable drip grid. Always use the appliance with the non-skid drip grid in place. - The detachable metalfilters which should be placed in the filterholder, can be detached when cleaning. - Remove the water reservoir and fill with fresh cold water. Make sure to keep the water reservoir filled above the min. water level marking printed on the reservoir. - Replace the water reservoir into the appliance and close the water reservoir lid. - Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON position so that the red light illuminates. The temperature indicator light (orange light) will illuminate when the machine is heating water for brewing and steaming. - Fill the desired filter with fresh espresso powder to the desired amount. Use the measuring spoon to measure the espresso powder. It is important that the espresso lies straight in the filter. Using normal ground coffee will not give you the good espresso taste. Clean any excess espresso grounds 19 from the rim of the filter holder. This will assure proper fit under the brew head. - Place the filter retainer clip in release position, by tipping the clip back. - Place the filter holder underneath the brew head so that the handle is positioned to the left of the center. - Lift the filter holder up and insert into the brew head. Make sure the filter is in LOCK position as shown on the appliance. - Place 1 or 2 cups underneath the filter holder spouts. Espresso will brew out of both filter spouts, so if one cup is used it has to be wide enough to catch liquid from both spouts. - When the temperature indicator light (orange light) turns off, the appliance is ready for brewing espresso. -Turn the control dial to position. Brew for approximately 30 seconds. - The temperature indicator light may come back on while you are brewing. This just means that the appliance is heating water. - Turn the control dial back to 0 position when finished brewing. - Remove the filter handle by turning back to the left.

Place the steaming tube in the pitcher with milk. - Turn the control knob to position. - To froth milk for cappuccino it is important that the steam pipe is carried up and down on the surface of the milk. The steam pipe also needs to be carried to the bottom of the carafe so the milk gets warm. - To warm up milk for cafe au lait, keep the steam pipe on the bottom of the carafe until the milk has reached the correct temperature. - The temperature indicator will go on and off during the frothing period, which is absolutely normal. - When frothing is completed, turn the control dial back to 0. - You may not be satisfied with the result the first couple of times, you will have to try different methods. - Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
