ASSEMBLY Unpacking Carefully remove all packaging material before rst use to avoid damaging the appliance or impairing its functionality. Placing the Appliance Place the appliance on a plane and clean work surface away from hot surfaces and heat sources such as heaters, stoves, ovens, open res and surfaces in direct sunlight. Also make sure that the power cord does not come into contact to hot surfaces and heat sources. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the work surface to prevent the appliance from being accidentally torn off. Unplug the power cord before cleaning the appliance and when not in use. To unplug the appliance from the wall socket, turn off all switches, then unplug the power cord from the wall socket by pulling the cord by its plug. Inserting the Filter 1 To insert the selected lter in the metal funnel, make sure to align the notch on the lter with the groove inside the funnel. 2 Turn the lter to the left or right to lock in place. This will help secure the lter in the funnel. Tightening the Funnel 1 Hold the metal funnel below the metal funnel holder and place it in the holder (see Figure1). 2 NOTE: The metal funnel only ts in the funnel holder in a certain way. Do not force it to t. 3 Rotate the metal funnel counter-clockwise until it is tight in the holder and the handle of the metal funnel points to you (see Figure 2 and 3).35

Rinsing the Water Tank Before First Use The appliance is supplied with a removable tank for easy cleaning. To ensure that the rst cup of Espresso will taste excellent, rinse the appliance with warm water as following: 1 Remove the water tank from the appliance. 2 Fill it with water. The water level should be between the marks MIN and MAX in the water tank. 3 Carefully insert the tank back into the appliance. 4 Place an empty vessel of appropriate size cup on the drip grid. CAUTION: Make sure the steam knob is at the position 0 when you turn on the appliance to prevent accidental scalding.
