Plug the power cord into a 120V electrical outlet. Set the power switch to the ‘ON’ position. 3. As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light turns off, set the Selector Control to the ‘ESPRESSO’ position and run a small amount of water through the brewing head for a few seconds without the filter holder in place. PRE-WARMING CUPS For optimal coffee temperature, pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate. 7 The water tank should be filled with fresh cold water before use. Check water level before use and replace the water daily. Do not use mineral or distilled water. ‘Heating’ light (orange) illuminates to indicate that the machine is heating and will turn off when the correct temperature has been reached.
