The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use only cold water in the water reservoir. Do not use any other liquid.
2. Never use the machine without water in it.
NOTE: For safety reasons it is recommended you plug your Cuisinart appliance directly into the power outlet. Use in conjunction with a power strip or extension cord is not recommended.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.\ If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
NOTICE
If you have a die-cast metal unit, for your protection it is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong groundingtype plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure A.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, as shown in Figure B, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a- 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding
lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate. NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.
CAUTION:
Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted
in Canada.

PREPARING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE
- Place the espresso machine on a dry, stable countertop or other flat, sturdy surface where you will be using the machine.
- IMPORTANT: For first-time use or if the machine has not been used for some time,it is important that it is rinsed as follows: Remove the lid of the water reservoir. Using the handle, lift the water reservoir off the base
and fill with fresh, cold drinking water. Replace the water reservoir on the base, and cover with the lid. Using the tracks as a guide, slide the water reservoir back into position and push down firmly to engage. Important: The unit will not function unless the water reservoir is properly in place. - Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press the power button once to turn the espresso machine on. All of the controls on the front
of the machine will flash while it’s preheating. Lights will turn steady when the unit is in ready mode (approximately 1 minute). - Make sure the drip tray and grate are in place.
- Place a mug on the drip tray. 6. Press the MANUAL button and allow the
water to run through for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. Press once more to stop. - If desired, place espresso cups on the warming plate.
- The machine is now in preheat/ready mode and ready to use.
NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty or not properly positioned, the unit will not function.
The SHORT , LONG and COFFEE
LEDs will flash quickly. Turn off the machine, fill the water reservoir, and turn the machine back on. We recommend brewing a short espresso without a capsule in place to prime the machine. The machine is now ready to use.
USING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE
Always make sure you have water in the reservoir, a capsule in the brew head, and that the appropriate tray is being used.
NOTE: This machine is designed exclusively for use with illy® iperEspresso® capsule system. No other type of capsule, pod, or coffee can be used.
To make espresso, use an illy® espresso capsule. To make a traditional coffee, use an illy® coffee capsule.
Short or Long Pre-Programmed Espresso
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert an espresso capsule, and close the brew head.
2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup tray, select either a SHORT (1.2 ounces) or LONG (3 ounces) espresso. (The
chosen setting and, if applicable, the temperature setting LEDs remain on, while all the other LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on
again, the machine is ready for the next cycle.)
For optimal results, we recommend using the LONG button with the blue Lungo iperEspresso® capsule. Using this setting with other iperEspresso® varieties will alter the taste. NOTE: As part of the iperEspresso® capsule’ patented technology, the brewing process is completely self-contained in the capsule and coffee does not come into contact with the brew head. So there is no need to rinse in-between cycles as there will be no transfer of flavor.
CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing head is opened during brewing cycle. Pre-Programmed Coffee 1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert a coffee capsule, and close the brew head.
2. With a coffee cup or mug on the drip tray, select COFFEE (approximately 6 ounces). (The coffee setting and, if applicable, the temperature setting LEDs remain on, while all the other LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again, the machine is ready for the next
cycle.)
Reminder: There is no need to rinse in-between cycles as there will be no transfer of flavor. See Espresso section NOTE on previous page. Manual/Adjustable Strength Control
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert a capsule, and close the brew head.
2. For adjustable strength control, use the MANUAL button to adjust the length of time espresso or coffee is dispensing – the longer
you allow it to flow, the lighter it will be. Press to start dispensing. When your cup is filled to desired level, press again to stop. Manual function will time-out after 90 seconds.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Used Capsule Container Container holds approximately 10 capsules and some residual liquid after brewing. Be sure to
empty the container of any used capsules periodically. The container is top-shelf dishwasher safe and may also be cleaned with warm, soapy water. Cleaning External Parts We recommend regular cleaning of the espresso maker’s external components. Cleaning the Housing Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids. The housing may be cleaned with asoapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Cleaning the Drip Tray To remove the drip tray, simply slide it toward you, keeping it level at all times in order to prevent spills. The drip tray and drip tray plate are top-shelf dishwasher safe. It may also be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. Cleaning the Water Reservoir Water reservoir is top-shelf dishwasher safe. It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting or staining to appear in the water reservoir. This will vary depending on the mineral content of the bottled or filtered water used, but will not affect the operation of the machine. However, be sure to clean the water reservoir regularly to minimize buildup
. Decalcification Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your machine. Though scale is non-toxic, it can hinder performance. Descaling the machine will help maintain the heating element and other parts that come into contact with water. For opimal performance, descale your machine every 3 to 6 months. It is possible with heavy use and/or hard water for calcium to build us faster, making it necessary to descale more often. Some indications that it is time to decalcify may be longer brewing times,
excessive steaming, lower coffee temperatures and brews of less than a full cup. If you experience any of these, decalcify immediately. If you do not experience any of the above, the unit will notify you when it is time to decalcify by flashing the MANUAL and TEMPERATURE LEDs quickly for 10 seconds after preheat/ready mode. This will happen every time you turn on the unit or wake up the unit from sleep mode until you decalcify.
NOTE: The unit can still be used until you decalcify. To begin, you will need the following: 6 ounces distilled white vinegar6 ounce water
