1. The Café PRO Professional Espresso & Cappuccino Machine

Thank you for purchasing the Capresso Café PRO Professional Espresso & Cappuccino Machine. This professional style machine includes a boiler which will internally keep a reserve of water at the ideal temperature for brewing which provides more consistent results. The Café PRO includes two different portafilters: one for convenience, one for control. The high-powered professional frothing wand can be used to create the perfect froth for cappuccinos or lattes. For Warranty please see the end of this booklet. For accessories and parts please contact Customer Service or order on our website: www.capresso.com

Tips for obtaining the best brew:

• Always use fresh high-quality coffee, preferably ground right before brewing.

• Use "espresso grind" coffee for pump espresso machines which is finely ground with a similar texture to fine sugar.

• Store your coffee in a dark, airtight container and leave it in a cool place (cabinet or pantry). Do not store coffee in the refrigerator. Only store unopened bags of whole coffee beans in the freezer and defrost before grinding.

• Always brew espresso into a pre-warmed cup. This can be done by leaving the cup on the warming platform or running hot water into the cup before brewing.

• Always purge the brew head and frothing wand to ensure hottest performance. See chapter 4.

• For best flavor, drink the espresso immediately after it is made.

• Follow all cleaning, maintenance and decalcifying instructions.

b) The COFFEE/STEAM button on the front of the machine switches the function

Once the indicator light stops flashing and is solid blue, the machine is ready for brewing coffee. To switch the machine to steam, press the Coffee/Steam button and the indicator light will turn white and start flashing. Once the indicator light is solid white, the machine is ready for frothing/ steaming milk.

NOTE: It is important to have the Coffee/Steam button in the correct setting for each function. Blue illumination for coffee, white illumination for steaming/ frothing.

c) The SELECTOR DIAL has three positions:

• LEFT ( ) brewing coffee,

• CENTER (•) standby, brewing and steaming stops,

• RIGHT ( ) steam production through the frothing wand NOTE: It is important to have the Selector Dial in the corresponding position to the Coffee/Steam button illumination when brewing or frothing.

position and press the ON/OFF button until the blue indicator light turns off. NOTE: During brewing or steaming, the Coffee/Steam indicator light may start flashing, specifying the heating system is on, maintaining the proper temperature for brewing or steaming.

3. Before Using for the First Time

After carefully unpacking your Café PRO, wash all removable parts with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Familiarize yourself with the appliance and read the instruction manual. To ensure the first cup of coffee tastes excellent, you should flush the internal parts of the machine with water as follows:

a) Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water. The water level should not exceed

the "MAX" mark on the tank. Then close the water tank lid. NOTE: The appliance has a removable water tank for easy cleaning; you can fill the tank with fresh water directly at your sink and then put the tank back onto the appliance, pushing down firmly to engage the base valve. Make sure the two hooks on the back of the water tank are inserted into the openings in the back of the machine.

b) Place the portafilter with sieve onto the machine with no coffee inside the

sieve, then insert the portafilter into the appliance from the "INSERT" position. Push up and attach the portafilter by firmly turning it counterclockwise until it is in the "LOCK" position.

c) Place a cup on the removable drip tray.

d) Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet according to the safety

instructions; press the ON/OFF button so the indicator light illuminates blue. The Coffee/Steam indicator light will start flashing blue while the machine is heating and will illuminate solid blue when the machine is at the right temperature for brewing coffee.

e) Once the Coffee/Steam indicator light is solid blue, turn the Selector Dial to

the " " position. The water will flow out.

f) After about one minute, turn the Selector Dial to the center "•" position to

stop brewing, discard the hot water; now you can start brewing. NOTE: There may be noise when pumping the water for the first time, it is normal; the machine is releasing the air in the appliance. After about 20 seconds, the noise will disappear.
