MAKING ESPRESSO
1. Place your "ILFuturo,Jr." near an electrical outlet, then plug machine into outlet. Make sure the
On/Offswitch is inthe "OFP' position.
2. Place your filter basket (g) intothe filterholder (1)(see figure1).The basket is marked on the in-
side indicating and 1 and 2 cups. Do not press coffee down tightlyor overfillthe basket.
3. Fillthe filterbasket with ground espresso coffee. Spoon the coffee into the filterbasket and clear
any excess coffee from the rimof the filterholder.Thiswillensure a proper fit intothe brewing
head (see figure 2).
AlTENTION
. Do not pack coffee tightly.
. Donotfillmore coffee than indicated bythe 2-cup marking.Thismight cause clogging or over-
flow(see under section "Problems and Causes").
4. Replace filterholder (1)containing the filterbasket and coffee. The filterholder must be inserted
so that the arrow on the filterholder is inlinewiththe arrowon the front of the machine. Insert
the filterholder upwards into the machine and turn firmlyto the rightas far rightto the "max"
(maximum) setting as possible (see figure3).
The min and max markings have nothing to do with the strength of the coffee.
Followingthis procedure this willprevent the filterholder frombeing dislodged as pressure builds
up duringthe brewing process.
5. Unscrewthe boiler cap (b) by tuming itcounter clockwise(see figure4).
6. Usingthe measuring container (k),fillthe boilercontainer withfresh, cold water (see figure 5).
