Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon unboxing, place the unit on a flat, stable surface with adequate clearance for the water tank and bean hopper. Before the first use, perform a rinse cycle to clear the internal lines. Always use the included water filter to minimize scale buildup. Maintenance is straightforward: the brewing unit, drip tray, and milk system components are removable and dishwasher-safe. Weekly cleaning of the infuser is recommended to prevent coffee oil residue, and you should use the machine's built-in descaling program whenever the alert icon appears to protect the 1450W heating element.
