4.3.3 Warming Internal
Components & Cups
Before making espresso, it is important to pre-
warm all the internal components in the appliance
and the cups. This short procedure will add 10° to
15° F to the first cup of espresso.
1. Fill the water tank (3) with fresh cold water as
described in chapter.
2. Make sure the Control Knob (5) is in the "
position.
3. Turn on the machine by pressing the Power
Button (11) located on the side of the machine.
The indicator light on the Control Knob (5) begins
to blink red as the machine begins to heat.
4. Place the sieve inside the portafilter (7) (without
coffee) 3 for proper sieve placement.
5. Make sure the thumb guard does not cover the
sieve.
6. Align the portafilter (7) to the "INSERT" on the
left side of the brew head (6), while pushing the
portafilter up. Turn the portafilter firmly to the
right towards the "LOCK" on the middle of the
brew head, until it feels tight.
In the beginning it might not be
possible to turn the portafilter all
the way to the "LOCK" position.
Just make sure the portafilter is
firmly placed. Over time the por-
tafilter can be moved closer to the
"LOCK" position.
7. Place one or two espresso cups underneath the
portafilter. Once the indicator light illuminates
solid blue, the machine is ready for coffee
brewing.
8. Turn the Control Knob (5) to the left towards the
"Cup icon". Hot water will be pumped through
the portafilter (7) into the cups.
9. Turn the Control Knob (5) back to the center
