Notes:
Warning: Before plugging the machine's electrical cord into the electrical outlet, please make sure the power switch is in the 'O" (visible) for off position. Fill the top water reservoir before powering on the machine via the power switch. It is important to depress and hold the boiler refill switch on the left side of the machine immediately after powering up the first time. The sight glass needs to fill up to the 75% full mark before releasing the boiler refill switch. The sight glass needs to be filled a minimum of 25% at all times during the operation to avoid damage to the machine.

For home use only. The only assembly required is attaching the brass eagle to the top.
Warranty Notes: Use only soft water in this machine. Hard water may cause damage to the machine that is not covered by the parts warranty. Make sure the sight gauge is always at least 25% full to prevent damage to the heating element. The return of a unit with a damaged heating unit will result in a repair fee that is deducted from the credit.

The exterior color will change over time as the machine ages. The water reservoir may also become discolored if exposed to hard, distilled or purified water. These changes are not covered by the warranty as manufacturer defects.
|
|
The water used to make coffee moves from the reservoir through a pipe to a flash boiler and should not affect the level of the water in the sight gauge. The sight gauge only changes if the steamer is used or the red button is depressed to refill the boiler.
|
|
If water does not move through the machine at initial startup, it will trigger the safety thermometer. If this occurs, the reset button resides under a yellow cap on the bottom of the machine. If you continue to have issues with a unit you bought from us, email us for further instructions.
