Safety Precautions

• Always ensure the wall outlet is properly grounded.
• Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or the main unit in water or other liquids.
• Keep the appliance away from children and ensure it is used on a flat, stable surface.
• Do not operate the machine without water in the tank.
• Use caution when handling the steam wand and metal funnel, as they become hot during operation.
• Always release pressure through the steam wand before removing the water tank or metal funnel.

Getting Started

Before the first use, it is essential to rinse the system. Fill the water tank to the MAX mark, place a container under the brewing head, and run a cycle without coffee to clean the internal pipes. This process also helps in clearing air from the system.

Brewing Espresso

To brew, fill the brewing filter with ground coffee and tamp it down firmly. Insert the metal funnel into the machine, locking it securely. Select either the single or double-cup button. The machine will automatically stop after the preset time (default 15s for single, 25s for double). You can customize these dispensing amounts by holding the respective button for 3 seconds.

Frothing Milk

For cappuccinos, press the steam button and wait for the indicator to become solid. Use a narrow jug with cold whole milk. Insert the steam wand about 2cm into the milk and turn the knob to the steam position. Move the jug in a circular motion to create foam.

Maintenance and Descaling

Regular cleaning is vital for machine longevity. Wipe the housing with a damp sponge and clean the drip tray regularly. The machine will indicate a need for descaling by flashing all indicators 5 times after 500 cycles. Use a household descaler or a citric acid solution to clean internal mineral deposits, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Troubleshooting

If the machine fails to operate, check the power connection. If water leaks, ensure the drip tray is not overfilled or the filter edge is clean. If indicators blink rapidly, it often signals that the steam/hot water knob needs to be reset to the off position or that the boiler temperature is too high.
