REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY

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.

2. 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.

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.

7. If desired, place espresso cups on the warming plate.

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, cappuccino and latte, 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 or LONG 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 iperEspresso® capsule. Using this setting with other iperEspresso® varieties will alter the taste.

NOTE: As part of the iperEspresso® capsule’s 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.

Tips for creating a perfect froth:

Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things; it heats milk and it mixes in air to form a foamy texture. As with anything, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes practice, but the results are well worth it! Use cold, refrigerated milk in the milk tank. Any

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

Page 10

liquids. The housing may be cleaned with a soapy, 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.

Cleaning the Milk Tank

Remove the milk tank by holding the tank and cover and pulling them away from the machine. Remove the cover and any excess milk, then pour water into the tank. Replace the cover, align the milk tank to the connector on the side of the machine, and push to install. Place a cup on the drip tray and position the steam/frothing wand in the cup. Adjust the length of the stainless steel sleeve on the wand so it is the proper length for your cup. Press the STEAM through the tank and wand to clean. Press the STEAM before your cup is full.

Follow by disassembling all of the removable parts, and wash by hand or place in the dishwasher. Run water through all the internal channels for thorough cleaning. To remove the steam/frothing wand, position it pointing straight down, then rotate counterclockwise and pull straight out. To replace, position steam/frothing wand pointing up and rotate clockwise. To remove milk tube, gently pull away from cover. To replace, fasten short part of tube to clear stem and fasten long part of tube to black stem. To remove the steam control dial, turn the dial left to the lowest setting ( pull the knob straight out. To replace, position

button to start steaming water

button again to stop steaming

) and

the dial at the lowest setting and push in. Note: For optimal cleaning we recommend that you periodically disassemble all removable parts, place them in warm soapy water and soak for at least 15 minutes. Rinse well, dry and assemble the parts as per above instructions.

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. optimal performance, descale your machine every 3 to 6 months. It is possible with heavy use and/or hard water for calcium to build up faster, making it necessary to de-scale more often. Some indications that it is time to decalcify may be longer brewing times, excessive steaming, lower coffee temperatures and brews 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 STEAM 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:

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 sea or 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. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
