PREPARING YOUR
ESPRESSO MACHINE
1. 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. Lift the
water reservoir off the
base and fill with bottled
or filtered water. Replace
the water reservoir on the
base, and cover with the
lid. Using the tracks as a guide, making sure
top is "latched" to unit, slide the water
reservoir back into position and push down
firmly to engage.
NOTE: The unit will not function unless the
water reservoir is properly in place.
3. Make sure the plug is inserted into the unit,
then insert the plug into a power outlet.
Flip the power switch to the ON "I" position.
The LCD will say CUISINART PRE-HEATING.
Once preheat is complete, the LCD will say
READY, PLEASE SELECT, indicating the
unit is ready to use (after approximately
70 seconds).
4. Make sure the drip tray is
in place.
5. Place a mug on the
drip tray.
6. Without inserting a
capsule, press
LCD will say ESPRESSO BREWING.
Once complete, the LCD will say BEVERAGE
READY, ENJOY. The rinse cycle is
now complete.
7. If you desire, navigate through the MENU
and set your brew options. See programming
instructions and default settings on page 7.
8. The machine is now ready to use.

USING YOUR

and that the appropriate cup tray is
being used.

Nespresso
OriginalLine style capsules.
®
Pre-Programmed Single
or Double 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 cup tray, push
for a single espresso (1.4 ounces) or push
for a double espresso (3.2 ounces). The
LCD will say ESPRESSO BREWING or
DOUBLE ESPRESSO BREWING,
respectively.
NOTE: For optimal results, we recommend
using the double espresso button with a lungo
or more bold espresso capsule. Using this
setting with lighter or less bold varieties will
alter the taste.
CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing
head is opened during brewing cycle.
3. Once brewing is complete, the LCD will say
BEVERAGE READY, ENJOY.
