Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the machine on a flat, stable surface with at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides for ventilation. Upon initial power-on, follow the on-screen prompts to prime the internal water system and set your language preferences.
Compatibility: Use high-quality espresso beans for the best results. The hopper is designed to manage various bean densities, but avoid oily or flavored beans, which can clog the internal grinder.
Care: Regularly rinse the milk delivery system after every use to prevent milk residue buildup. Perform descaling cycles as indicated by the machine's warning light to maintain optimal pressure and temperature. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and ensure the drip tray is emptied and washed in warm, soapy water periodically.
