Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial setup requires priming the machine by running a water cycle through the group head and steam wand. Always ensure the water tank is correctly seated and filled with fresh, filtered water to preserve the internal heating elements.
For daily care, wipe the steam wand immediately after each use with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from hardening. The drip tray and portafilter baskets are dishwasher-safe, but the machine body should be wiped with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Periodically descale the machine based on water hardness settings to maintain optimal pressure and heating performance.
