PREPARING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE FOR USE FEATURES AND OPERATION Attach the Cup Rail Align the three rail posts with the holes on top of the espresso machine. Then press the rail posts firmly into the holes. Remove & Wash the Water Reservoir 1. Lift the reservoir slightly, then remove by pulling the bottom of the reservoir from the espresso machine. 2. Wash the reservoir in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. The reservoir can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. 3. Place the reservoir back into the espresso machine, making sure the water tubes are placed inside the reservoir. The ribs on the bottom of the reservoir fit into the grooves on the base of the housing. Fill & Rinse the Boilers The boilers need to be filled and rinsed before the espresso machine is used for the first time. The boilers will also need to be filled when: • the espresso machine is not used for a prolonged period • the water reservoir runs dry during use (this can damage the espresso machine) • multiple beverages are steamed without brewing espresso or dispensing hot water 1. Slide the water reservoir left or right to expose the top, and fill with fresh cold water to the max fill line. NOTE: Distilled water or mineral water can damage the espresso machine. Do not use either to brew espresso. Continued... 13
