					Before First Use  
					Genuine Espresso  
					We recom m end that you get fam iliar with  
					all the parts of your KRUPS espresso  
					Espresso is a far richer and stronger brew  
					than regular coffee. It should be deep, dark,  
					and delicious. Most people find that they  
					enjoy it in sm all quantities because of its  
					richness, and for that reason, espresso is  
					usually served in sm all (2-2 1/2 oz) dem i-  
					cups.  
					m achine before using it for the first tim e.  
					Insert the filter basket into the filter holder,  
					fit the filter holder into the filter rings,  
					rem ove and replace the boiler cap. Check  
					the different positions of the switch. To  
					rem ove any residuals of production which  
					m ay rest in the appliance, we recom m end  
					operating the espresso m aker (as described  
					in “Making Espresso“ section) once or twice  
					with water only, without ground espresso  
					coffee. Wash all loose parts in warm soapy  
					water, rinse thoroughly and dry.  
					Your “Il Caffè Duom o”, properly used, will  
					always produce espresso that is deep, dark,  
					and delicious. J ust follow the instructions  
					and use fresh, well-roasted, pre-ground  
					espresso or espresso beans you grind  
					yourself.  
					Preparing espresso or cappuccino is  
					different from brewing regular drip coffee.  
					One m ain difference is that the water will  
					com e to a boil and will then be forced  
					through the ground coffee. This m eans that  
					an espresso m achine works under pressure  
					and needs special attention.  
					Read all instructions, cautions, notes and  
					attentions before actually using the  
					m achine.  
					CAUTION - PRESSURE  
					Never open boiler cap (a) or rem ove filter  
					holder (e) while your “Il Caffè Duom o“ is  
					turned “on“ or as long as there is pressure  
					in the boiler container.  
					CAUTION - HOT  
					Do not touch boiler cap (a) during operation.  
					Before rem oving boiler cap turn off  
					m achine, let it cool down for at least 2 or 3  
					m inutes. Relieve pressure. See CAUTION -  
					PRESSURE.  
					Never m ove or rem ove the filter holder  
					while the “Il Caffè Duom o“ is in operation  
					and under pressure.  
					Please follow the instructions listed below  
					to see if the m achine is still under pressure.  
					Follow these safety precautions w hile your  
					m achine is in use and ten to fifteen m inutes  
					after last use.  
					Making Espresso  
					1. Place your “Il Caffè Duom o” near an  
					electrical outlet and release enough cord  
					so that you can plug in the m achine  
					(see figure 1).  
					G Turn the “on/off“ switch to the “off“  
					position and unplug appliance.  
					G Carefully open the steam release knob (b)  
					by slowly turning it counter clockwise. If  
					steam com es out of the nozzle, then the  
					boiler cham ber is still under pressure.  
					Close steam knob and proceed with  
					instructions listed below.  
					2. Place the filter basket (i) into the filter  
					holder (e) (see figure 2).  
					3. Fill with ground espresso. The filter  
					basket is m arked on the inside for 2 and 4  
					cups. Pack the coffee lightly and clear  
					any excess coffee from the rim of the  
					filter holder. This will assure proper fit to  
					the brewing head (see figure 3).  
					G Take a pitcher filled with cold water and  
					hold it underneath the steam nozzle with  
					nozzle inserted into the pitcher. Then  
					open the steam release knob (b) by  
					turning it counter clockwise. Leave steam  
					release knob open until no m ore steam  
					com es out of nozzle. When finished turn  
					steam knob clockwise to close.  
					ATTENTION:  
					Do not pack coffee too tightly.  
					Do not fill m ore coffee than indicated by the  
					four-cup m arking into the filter basket. This  
					m ight cause clogging or overflow .  
					G Now you can rem ove the boiler cap and  
					the filter holder.
