PREPARING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE

Put 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:

2. 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.

3. 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).

4. Make sure the drip tray and grate are in place.

5. Place a mug on the drip tray.

6. Press the Manual water to run through for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. Press once more to stop.

Position espresso cups on the warming plate.

8. 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 , Manual and Steam

LEDs will flash. Turn off the machine, fill the

water reservoir, and turn the machine back on.

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 capsules. No other type of capsule, pod, or coffee can be used.

Short or Long Pre-Programmed Espresso

1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert a capsule, and close the brew head.

2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup tray, select either a SHORT or LONG selected function and Hotter 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 iperEspresso capsule. The Long provides an Americano single espresso. Using this setting with other iperEspresso will alter the taste.

NOTE: As part of illy-patented technology in the iperEspresso completely self-contained in the capsule and does not get into 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.

USING THE STEAM WAND

Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things; it heats the milk and mixes air with the milk to form a foamy texture. As with learning to make an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice.

Determine how much milk is needed based on the number of cups being made.

TIP: A minimum of 1½ ounces (3 tablespoons) and a maximum of 4 ounces (½ cup) can be frothed at one time. If only steaming the milk and not frothing, you may use up to 6 ounces (¾ cup).

2. Pour cold refrigerated milk into the

stainless frothing pitcher.

3. Purge the steam wand of any water. With

the steam wand positioned over the drip

tray, activate the steam function by

pressing the STEAM

fully on. Once water has been purged,

turn the control dial back to stop the

steam.

4. Swing the steam wand to the side of the

espresso machine.

5. Place the steam wand into the milk so that the nozzle is about a half-inch below the surface.

6. Activate the steam function by first pressing the Steam light stops flashing, turn the STEAM control dial to steam position. This will start to create a whirlpool action in the milk. Once the milk begins to steam, bring the nozzle closer to the top of the milk to begin frothing.

It is recommended that you do not

exceed 2 minutes of continuous steaming.

7. As the steam heats and textures the milk, the level of the milk in the pitcher will begin to rise. As this happens, follow the level of the milk by lowering the pitcher, always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.

NOTE: Do not allow the steam to spurt unevenly or it will create aerated froth/ large bubbles. If this is happening, raise the pitcher so that the steam nozzle is lowered farther into the milk. Smaller bubbles are more stable than the larger ones, therefore making a tighter, longer- lasting froth.

The machine is ready to operate when all the lights are steady again.

Auto-Off Mode

Following the 30-minute Energy Saver cycle, if there is an additional 30 minutes of non-use, the espresso machine will turn off. Press the power button to turn on again.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning External Parts

We recommend regular cleaning of the espresso maker’s external components.

1. Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids. The housing and external parts may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.

2. 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 grate are dishwasher safe. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir

It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting or staining to appear in the water reservoir. Results 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 build-up.

Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp, lint-free cloth as necessary.

Cleaning The Steam Wand

1. The steam wand should always be

cleaned after steaming milk. Remove the stainless steel part and clean both thoroughly.

2. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth,

then with the steam wand directed back into the drip tray, press the STEAM button and turn STEAM control dial. This

Page 9

will release any remaining milk from inside the steam wand. Stop the steam immediately after by turning the STEAM control dial again

3. Turn the power button to OFF, unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.

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. De-scaling the machine will help maintain the heating element and other parts that come in contact with water.

For optimal performance, de-scale your machine every 3 to 6 months. It is possible for calcium to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. To begin, you will need the following:

• 10 ounces of distilled white vinegar

• 12-ounce ceramic mug (do not use paper cup)

• Access to sink

Step 1: First Vinegar Rinse

• Fill water reservoir with 10 ounces of undiluted white vinegar.

• Place the ceramic mug on the drip tray.

• Lift the brew head handle, but do NOT add a capsule.

• Close the brew head and press the Manual

•

• Allow the machine to sit for 30 minutes.

• Power on the machine, open and close the brew head, then press dispensing. Press dispensing. Position frothing wand into mug. Press the STEAM light stops flashing, turn the Steam Control Dial to the STEAM position to dispense steam for a few seconds. Turn steam control dial to the off position.

• Discard the contents of the mug into the sink.

Step 2: Fresh Water Rinse

Steaming/Frothing Instructions

When steaming milk for delicious coffeebased drinks, always start with fresh, cold milk and steam only what you are going to use right away. For best results, we prefer using non-fat or skim milk, which produces light, voluminous foam, but feel free to experiment. Keep in mind that the consistency of the foam will vary depending on what type of milk is used. It is always best to froth your milk right before serving.

NOTE: When steaming milk to mix with espresso, insert capsule prior to steaming.

Espresso Gelato

For an extra jolt, add some dark

chocolate-covered espresso beans

toward the end of freezing.

Makes about 4 cups (eight ½-cup servings)

1 cup heavy cream 2 cups whole milk, divided 1 cup brewed espresso 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch pinch kosher salt 1 tablespoon liquid pectin

1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream and 1½ cups of the milk. Set over medium/ medium-low heat and bring to a simmer.

2. While cream/milk mixture is heating, put the remaining milk, espresso, sugar, cornstarch and salt into a small/medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

3. Once milk/cream mixture comes to a simmer, add the milk/sugar mixture and stir until fully combined. While still set over medium/medium-low heat, stir continuously until mixture boils and thickens so that it can coat the back of a spoon (this will take about 15 minutes,

depending on the stove being used).

4. Remove pan from heat, stir in pectin, strain and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

5. Whisk mixture together again before pouring into the ice cream maker. Pour the mixture into the mixing bowl of the Cuisinart thickened, about 30 minutes. The gelato will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours.

We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration.

In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

California Residents Only

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility, if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty. California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
