What is the maximum cup height?

How often should I descale the machine?

The machine features an integrated anti-scale system and will provide an indication light when it is time for a descaling cycle based on your water hardness settings.

Troubleshooting

Coffee is not hot enough

Pre-heat your cup with hot water before brewing and ensure the temperature settings are adjusted in the menu.

Milk is not frothing well

Ensure the steam nozzle is clean and not blocked by milk residue; use fresh, cold milk for best results.

Machine will not grind beans

Check if the hopper is empty or if beans are jammed; adjust the grinder setting to a coarser level if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the machine involves placing it on a flat, stable surface with enough clearance for the water tank and bean hopper. Upon first use, prime the system by running the water cycle to ensure the internal pipes are flushed.

For ongoing care, the drip tray and grounds container should be emptied and rinsed regularly. The machine features a water hardness selector; it is recommended to set this correctly to optimize the anti-scale system's effectiveness. Utilize the included water filter to maintain flavor purity and extend the machine's lifespan. Most removable parts are dishwasher safe, but check the manual to ensure specific plastic components are placed on the top rack.
