Alexia'Espresso'Machine'

Introduction

First of all, thank you for your business! You are going to love your new Alexia espresso

machine. It combines classic beauty, value, and great performance for making the best

espressos,*cappuccinos,*and*lattes*you’ve*ever*tasted!*These*instructions*include tips that

will*help*bring*out*the*Barista*that’s*hidden*within! Enjoy your new machine!

First Time Set Up

 Before using your machine, test your water for hardness using the provided test

strips. Fill a glass with cold tap water; dip the tip of the test strip into the water for

one second, then pull the strip out of the water and hold it horizontally for fifteen

seconds. After fifteen seconds, compare the color of the strip to the chart on the

side of the package to determine how many grains of hardness is in your tap water.

Three grains or less of hardness is acceptable to be used in the machine.

Note: Should*your*water’s*hardness*level*exceed*three*grains,*then*it is strongly

recommended that an in tank softener be used or a different source of water that

has been tested for hardness. Some bottled water can be extremely hard and should

always be tested before using. Using a Brita or PUR style pitcher or faucet filter does

NOT remove any hardness from the water and should only be used in the machine if

your water source is under 3 grains of hardness. Using hard water in the machine

will affect its performance and may cause damage to the machine which is not

covered under warranty.

 Open the hinged reservoir door on the top of the machine and remove the water

reservoir. Rinse the water reservoir out and fill with cold softened water and then

install it back into the machine being careful not to spill any water inside the

machine.

 Be sure that both silicone lines are sitting in the bottom of the reservoir like shown.

There is a notch on the right side of

the reservoir for the lines to sit in and

the float should be on the left side of

the machine.

 Make sure the silicone lines are not

pushing the float down or the heater

will not function.
