USING YOUR 3 IN 1 COFFEE CENTER - PREPARING ESPRESSO The glass espresso carafe has markings for 2 and 4 cups: A cup of espresso is approximately 2 oz. and does not equal an 8 oz. measuring cup. Use the espresso carafe markings for all of the following measurements. • 2 cups of water = 2 cups of espresso • 4 cups of water = 4 cups of espresso. Pressing the button immediately begins the espresso cycle and the button will light up. If the button is pressed when espresso is brewing and the button light is on, the brewing cycle is cancelled and the go out. button light will Espresso can be made at the same time as the drip coffee cycle if desired. 1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. 2. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only. 3. Place the espresso filter basket into the filter holder. Fill with desired amount of ground espresso coffee. The filter basket is marked on the inside for 2 and 4 cups. Press the coffee lightly and clear any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder. This will assure proper fit to the brewing head. NOTE: Do not press coffee too tightly or fill more coffee than indicated by the four-cup marking into the filter basket. This may cause clogging or overflow. 4. Insert the filter holder into the appliance. To insert the filter holder, line up the arrow located on the thumb guard of the filter holder with the arrow on the left side of the machine. Flip thumb guard back and out of the way. Raise the filter holder up into brewing head and turn the filter holder firmly to the right until it can go no further. The arrow on the filter holder should be as far right in the lock-range as possible. If the arrow is not at least in the middle of the lock-range remove the filter holder and insert it again as described above until the arrow is within the lock-range. Following this procedure will prevent the filter holder from being dislodged as pressure builds up during the brewing process. 5. Open the hinged lid located on top back of coffee center and unscrew the boiler cap located inside by turning counter clockwise. Fill the boiler chamber with cold water using the markings indicated on the glass espresso carafe. NOTE: Never pour water into the boiler chamber while the appliance is on or if the tank is hot. Never fill more than 10oz (300ml) of water into the boiler chamber. It is very important to fill only the amount of water you need into the boiler chamber. Your coffee machine will always need to process all the water until the boiler chamber is empty. 6. Replace and secure the boiler cap by turning it clockwise. 11
