PREPARING YOUR  
ESPRESSO MACHINE  
1. Put the espresso machine on a dry, stable  
countertop or other flat, sturdy surface  
where you will be using the machine.  
Short or Long Pre-Programmed Espresso  
1. Using the lever, open the brew head, insert  
a capsule, and close the brew head.  
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:  
2. Remove the lid of the water reservoir. Using  
the handle, lift the water reservoir off the  
base and fill with fresh, cold drinking water.  
Replace the water reservoir on the base,  
and cover with the lid. Using the tracks as  
a guide, slide the water reservoir back into  
position and push down firmly to engage.  
2. With an espresso cup on the espresso cup  
tray, select either a SHORT  
(1.2 ounces)  
or LONG (3 ounces) espresso. (The  
selected function and Hotter Temperature  
setting LEDs remain on, while all the other  
LEDs are off. Once all LEDs are on again,  
the machine is ready for the next cycle.)  
Important: The unit will not function unless  
the water reservoir is properly in place.  
3. Insert the plug into a power outlet. Press  
the power button once to turn the espresso  
machine on. All of the controls on the front  
of the machine will flash while it’s pre-  
heating. Lights will turn steady when the  
unit is in ready mode (approximately  
1 minute).  
For optimal results, we recommend using the

this setting with other iperEspresso® varieties  
will alter the taste.  
5. Place a mug on the drip tray.  
6. Press the Manual button and allow the  
water to run through for approximately 5 to  
10 seconds. Press once more to stop.  
NOTE: As part of illy-patented technology in the  
iperEspresso® capsule, the brewing process is  
completely self-contained in the capsule and  
does not get into the brew head. So there is no  
need to rinse in between cycles as there will be  
no transfer of flavor.  
7. Position espresso cups on the warming plate.  
8. The machine is now in preheat/ready mode  
and ready to use.  
CAUTION: Scalding may occur if the brewing  
head is opened during brewing cycle.  
NOTE: If the water reservoir is empty or not  
properly positioned, the unit will not function.

USING THE STEAM WAND  
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The  
steam does two things; it heats the milk and  
mixes air with the milk to form a foamy  
texture. As with learning to make an  
espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing  
takes time and practice.  
NOTE: Do not allow the steam to spurt  
unevenly or it will create aerated froth/  
large bubbles. If this is happening, raise  
the pitcher so that the steam nozzle is  
lowered farther into the milk. Smaller  
bubbles are more stable than the larger  
ones, therefore making a tighter, longer-  
lasting froth.  
7
8. If you do not need foam, but only steamed  
milk, lower the steam nozzle further into  
the milk to prevent excess foam from  
forming. Move the pitcher in a circular  
motion so wand is not steaming in  
one place.  
The machine is ready to operate when all the  
lights are steady again.  
Auto-Off Mode  
Following the 30-minute  
Energy Saver cycle, if  
there is an additional  
30 minutes of non-use,  
the espresso machine  
will turn off. Press the power button to turn  
on again.  
9. Stop the steam immediately by turning the  
STEAM control dial to the closed position

10. Remove the pitcher, immediately wipe the  
steam nozzle and wand with a clean damp  
cloth and purge a small amount of steam.

other liquids. The housing and external  
parts may be cleaned with a soapy, damp,  
non-abrasive cloth.  
2. Once you have dispensed the required  
amount of hot water into the cup or  
container, stop the hot water by turning  
the steam/hot water control dial to the O  
position.  
2. To remove the drip tray, simply slide it  
toward you, keeping it level at all times in  
order to prevent spills. The drip tray and  
drip tray grate are dishwasher safe. Do  
not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel  
wool pads or other abrasive materials.  
3. Remove the cup or container and swing  
the steam/hot water wand over the drip  
tray to catch any drips of water.  
Cleaning the Water Reservoir  
It is normal over time for discoloration,  
spotting or staining to appear in the water  
reservoir. Results will vary depending on the  
mineral content of the bottled or filtered  
water used but will not affect the operation  
of the machine. However, be sure to clean  
the water reservoir regularly to minimize  
build-up.  
TEMPERATURE  
CONTROLS  
Hotter  
is the default setting. If Hot is  
desired, press the button and allow a few  
seconds for the temperature to decrease.  
The flashing light will turn steady when it has  
reached temperature.  
Clean inside the water reservoir with a damp,  
lint-free cloth as necessary.  
NOTE: When the machine shuts off, and is  
turned back on, the last temperature setting  
used will be illuminated.  
Cleaning The Steam Wand  
1. The steam wand should always be  
cleaned after steaming milk. Remove the  
stainless steel part and clean both  
thoroughly.  
Energy Saver Mode  
After 30 minutes of non-use the espresso  
machine will automatically switch to sleep  
mode and all the control lights will be  
dimmed by about 50%. When any button is  
pressed, the espresso machine will return to  
preheat mode and all the lights will flash.  
2. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth,  
then with the steam wand directed back  
into the drip tray, press the STEAM  
button and turn STEAM control dial. This

inside the steam wand. Stop the steam  
immediately after by turning the STEAM

This will clean the machine’s plumbing  
and remove any residual vinegar taste.  
The machine is now ready for normal use.

the power cord and allow the machine  
to cool.  
Maintenance: Any other servicing should be  
performed by an authorized service representative  
Decalcification  
.
Mineral content in water varies from place to  
place. Depending on the mineral content of  
the water in your area, calcium deposits or  
scale may build up in your machine. Though  
scale is non-toxic, it can hinder performance.  
De-scaling the machine will help maintain  
the heating element and other parts that  
come in contact with water.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Problem: Machine does not have power.  
Solution:  
Plug the machine into an independent  
outlet.  
Make sure the machine is securely  
plugged in.  
Reset your home’s circuit breaker.  
Confirm the power has been turned on  
and the controls are illuminated.  
For optimal performance, de-scale your  
machine every 3 to 6 months. It is possible  
for calcium to build up faster, making it  
necessary to de-scale more often.

Steaming/Frothing Instructions  
1. Place a mug on the latte/cappuccino tray.  
When steaming milk for delicious coffee-  
based drinks, always start with fresh, cold  
milk and steam only what you are going to  
use right away. For best results, we prefer  
using non-fat or skim milk, which produces  
light, voluminous foam, but feel free to  
experiment. Keep in mind that the consistency  
of the foam will vary depending on what type  
of milk is used. It is always best to froth your  
milk right before serving.  
2. Using the lever, open the brew head,  
insert the capsule and close the brew  
head.  
3. Put the half & half into the stainless  
pitcher.  
4. Press the Steam  
Button. Once the  
button stops flashing, submerge the  
steam wand into the pitcher of half & half  
and steam. Keep the wand fully  
submerged to prevent excessive froth  
from forming. Turn dial to stop steaming;  
reserve.  
NOTE: When steaming milk to mix with  
espresso, insert capsule prior to steaming.  
5. Press the Short  
button to brew the  
espresso. When the brewing process is  
complete, pour the steamed cream into  
the espresso and serve immediately.
