1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be
at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that
it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over accidentally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way.

In order to avoid possible burns to body parts and/or other injury from
hot steam and water, NEVER open the cap while your MR. COFFEE
®
Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is turned on or as long as there is
pressure in the water reservoir.
In order to check if the appliance is under pressure, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position and unplug the appliance.
2. Rotate the control knob to the “STEAM” position. If steam comes out
of the frothing tube, then the water reservoir is still under pressure.
Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position.
3. To release the pressure, hold a pitcher with water under the frothing tube
and immerse the frothing aid in the water. S LOWLY T URN THE C ONTROL K NOB
TO THE “STEAM” P OSITION AND R ELEASE THE S TEAM .
4. When the frothing tube stops releasing steam, slowly remove the cap.
5. Turn the control knob back to the “OFF” position.
6. Do not remove the filter holder at any time during the brewing process
or until pressure is relieved.
7. Use caution when removing the filter holder from the brew head.
The metal parts may still be very hot. Also, there may be hot water
floating on the top of the filter basket.
8. If the filter holder is blocked, allow the appliance to cool down, then release
the steam with the instructions above. The blockage may be caused by too
finely ground coffee. See “P
ROBLEMS AND C AUSES ” on Page 11.
9. W HEN C LEANING THE F ROTHING N OZZLE : Place a frothing pitcher or large cup
(with at least an 11 ounce capacity) half full of water under the frothing aid.
Make sure the tip of the frothing tube is submerged in liquid before
turning the control knob to the “steam” position.
