Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Initial Setup: Place the unit on a flat, dry surface. Fill the tank with filtered water and run a cycle without coffee grounds to flush the system.
- Cleaning: After every use, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth and purge it immediately. Empty and rinse the drip tray daily.
- Descaling: Depending on water hardness, perform a descaling cycle every 2–3 months using a food-safe descaling solution to keep the heating element and water lines free of mineral buildup.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the portafilter basket for clogs and clean with a fine needle if water flow becomes restricted. Keep the exterior stainless steel free of moisture to maintain its finish.
