IMPORTANT CARE & USE
LID CARE
Do not subject the LID to knocks, vibrations or quick temperature changes.
Take care when opening the LID of the Espresso Maker as it will become hot during use, ALWAYS use the knob. Use of a heat-resistant oven glove is recommended.
GENERAL CARE & USE
For optimum energy efficiency, ALWAYS use a heat source suitable for the size of the Espresso Maker.
Select the proper hob ring or gas flame size so that the heat or gas flame touches only the bottom of the Espresso Maker and does not climb up the sides of the
Espresso Maker.
Allow the Espresso Maker to cool before cleaning or storing to prevent warping caused by extreme temperature shocks.
DO NOT slide or drag the Espresso Maker across the hob surface as this may cause damage to both the Espresso Maker and the hob surface. To avoid spillage, do
not fill the Espresso Maker more than two-thirds full.
Choose a suitable sized gas flame or ring for the base of the Espresso Maker and centre your Espresso Maker over the heat source.
NEVER “shuffle” the Espresso Maker on the hob whilst in use.
Use
MEDIUM or LOW heat settings for the majority of use on all heat sources, allowing the Espresso Maker to heat gradually and evenly.
The Espresso Maker should
NEVER be used on a MAX or HIGH heat setting either for pre-heating or normal use as the excessive surface temperatures will damage
the Espresso Maker.
CAUTION: The body may leak slightly when pouring due to the preasure of the steam. A suitable oven glove must be used to prevent scalding.

CLEANING & STORING
• ALWAYS wash your Espresso Maker after each use. Wash in hot water with a mild detergent and soft sponge. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
• ALWAYS allow the Espresso Maker to cool fully before attempting any cleaning or storage.
• DO NOT plunge into, or fill with, cold water when hot.
• DO NOT use any metal, harsh abrasive or very stiff pads/washing up brushes, or abrasive cleaning agents on ANY of the surfaces.
• Stubborn stains can be removed using a suitable non-metallic scouring pad.
• Rim marks, tarnishing and stains can be removed using mild detergents specially formulated for cleaning stainless steel and similar items. Wash your Espresso
Maker thoroughly after use of such products.
• Ensure the filter holes are clear as grinds and mineral deposits are likely to form in these areas.
• Regularly remove the SILICONE GASKET and clean the bottom changer with warm soapy water.
• Maintain the SILICONE GASKET regularly by cleaning and using as per this manual. Steam escaping from the screw threads between the top and bottom
sections of the Espresso Maker signals that the
SILICONE GASKET is in need of replacing. Should this happen, replace it immediately.
HANDLE MAINTENANCE
Over time, the handle on your Espresso Maker with a screw fixing may loosen. This is normal. Fixings will need tightening periodically. To tighten, use an appropriate
screwdriver (not supplied) and secure the screw. Do not over-tighten as this will damage the Espresso Maker.
NEVER apply excess twisting force to the handle. Do not overload the Espresso Maker or attempt to bend or modify the handle in any way.
NEVER allow the handles to be positioned over another hob or heat source.
