Troubleshooting
Coffee is not hot enough
Pre-heat your cup by rinsing it with hot water, and ensure the temperature settings in the menu are adjusted to the highest level.
Milk is not frothing correctly
Ensure the milk system is clean and the connection tube is not blocked or improperly inserted into the milk container.
Grinder makes a loud noise or seems blocked
Check the bean hopper for foreign objects and ensure the bean grind size is not set to the finest setting if using dark, oily roasts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial setup requires priming the water circuit; follow the prompts on the digital display upon first power-on. Use filtered water to prevent limescale buildup and extend the lifespan of the heating element. To care for the machine, perform the automated milk system flush immediately after frothing, and remove the brew group weekly to rinse it under lukewarm water. Ensure you use quality coffee beans, as oily roasts can accumulate residue in the grinder over time. Regularly check the waste container and drip tray to prevent overflow.
