Alexia'Espresso'Machine'

First Time Set Up, Continued

 Before plugging the machine in, verify the steam knob is closed and the brew lever

is in the down position. Also*make*sure*the*power*switch*is*in*the*center*off*“O”*

position and the drip tray is in place.

 Plug the machine into the outlet* and then turn the

power*switch*to*the*fill*“I”** position.

 Raise the brew lever for at least 30 seconds until

water comes out of the group head and then lower

the brew lever.

 After filling the boiler insert the portafilter into the

group head so it heats up with the machine.

 Turn*the*power*switch*to*the*on*“II”*position*which*will*activate*the*heater.

 The heating indicator light will illuminate and the machine will start heating up. You

will hear some gurgling noises as it heats up which is normal.

 The machine should reach temperature in approximately 15 minutes, but to make

delicious espresso with thick rich crema it is necessary to allow the machine to be

heated for 30-45 minutes with the portafilter kept in the grouphead.

* The electrical outlet must be a 3 prong 120V grounded outlet. No adaptors or extension cords

should be used. A timer may be used to turn the machine on and off, but it must be a 3 prong

grounded timer rated for 15 amps. A GFCI outlet is recommended but is not necessary.

** The fill position on the power switch only needs to be used on the first time setup or if the boiler has

been emptied. The fill switch position allows the boiler to fill without the heater being activated to

protect it during the fill process. Once the boiler has been filled the machine can be turned on

normally*to*the*on*“II”*position.

Before Each Use

 Verify the steam knob is closed and your brew lever is pointing straight down.

 Fill the reservoir with cold softened water.

 Place whichever portafilter you intend to use into the group head and then turn the

power switch to*the*on*“II”*position.

 Let the machine warm up for 30-45 minutes for optimal performance.
