IMPORTANT: When replacing reservoir, be certain that suction tube is inside the reservoir and not kinked or blocked. 2. Insert plug (14) into a suitable wall outlet (see point (1) under “caution”). 3. Turn the power switch (1) to “I”. The power-on indicator light (2) will light up. Make certain that the hot water/ brew switch (3) is in the “0” position. If you hear a noise it means the pump is on, turn it off immediately with the brew switch. 4. Priming the pump: This procedure prepares the pump and fills the water boiler with fresh water. This should be done whenever the machine is switched on. This machine features a self-priming pump. Place an empty cup on the drip-plate, do not insert filter holder into brew head and press hot water/coffee switch (3). You will hear the sound of the operating pump and after few seconds, water will start to get out from the brewing head. Once cup is filled, set coffee switch (3) onto pos. “0”. Espresso Gaggia in now ready to be used. Note: It may happen that the self- priming feature of the pump does not temporarily work due to an air lock. In this case water does not get out from brewing head, and the following procedure should be followed: a) Place a small frothing pitcher or mug under the steam nozzle (8). b) Turn the steam knob (7) on the side counter-clockwise to open the steam/hot water valve, and turn the hot water/brew switch (3) to “I”. You will hear the sound of the pump. c) After a few seconds, a steady stream of water will emerge from the steam nozzle. Allow about one cup of water to fill the pitcher. Shut the steam/hot water valve and turn hot water/brew switch to “0”. The Espresso Gaggia has been primed. d) NOTE: The temperature ready-light (3a) will automatically go on-and-off as the machine’s boiler heats. When the light goes on, the correct water temperature for brewing (and steaming) has been reached. Wait at least 6 minutes for the machine to reach its full operating temperature (during this time, the indicator light will go on and off frequently). Another feature of the machine is the “no-drip system”, eliminating most of dripping from brewing head (that is normal and due to the pump pressure in the system). The feature “no-drip system” causes a light gurgle, for the return of hot water into the tank. After coffee brewing, however, a little dripping may occur due to wet coffee grinds in the filter-holder. Caution: Never operate pumpwithout water in machine as damage to the pump may occur. Damage of pump run withoutwater is not covered by warranty. Making Espresso: 1. Follow the procedure described under Preparation. (Stamp comment R J 14.08.2003 7:05:24 blank) 2. Allow about 6 minutes for the machine to reach its proper operating temperature. (Use this time to set table, ‘prepare cups, coffee, milk, etc.). 3. Select the correct filter basket (9a) and insert it in the filter holder (9). Use the small filter basket for 1 cup and the large filter basket for 2 cups of espresso. Then.insert the filter holder (9) into the brew head (11) to warm-up. 4. After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder (9) from the brew-head (11) and fill with correctly ground espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill. Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper (13) provided. Do not compress too firmly. 5. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew head (11) by holding handle approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine. When properly aligned, move handle firmly to the right to lock into position. The handle should point to the front of the machine or slightly to the right. 6. Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate (10) to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Depress hot water/brew switch (3) to “I” position. Espresso will start to flow into cups. 7. When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switch to “0”. The more water. you allow to flow, the weaker the coffee. When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam “crema” floating on the top. If not, refer to Troubleshooting Hints. Remove cups and serve. 8. To make more espresso, carefully and slowly remove the filter holde; by moving handle to the left. Use care as hot water will be on top of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some water will continue to drip from brew head as filter holder is removed. That is normal and due to the pump pressure in the system. Knock out used coffee grinds from filter basket and rinse. For more espresso repeat steps 4 to 8 above. “Perfect crema” device A unique R disc fitted L--l into the sr- ftlterholder will produce coffee giving the perfect “Crema” essential for the authentic espresso, whatever type of grind you use. Furthermore, you need only use the two- cup filter basket even when brewing for one person (one level measure of coffee only).
