Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and protective films from the appliance. Ensure all components are present: coffeemaker, drip tray, water tank, bean hopper lid, and filter.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Wash the water tank, drip tray, and coffee grounds container with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Water Tank Filling: Remove the water tank from the side of the machine. Fill it with fresh, cold drinking water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Reinsert the tank securely.
- Bean Hopper Filling: Open the lid of the bean hopper located on top of the machine. Pour fresh, whole coffee beans into the hopper. Do not use ground coffee in the bean hopper.
- First Use / Priming: Plug the coffeemaker into a grounded power outlet. Turn on the machine. The system will automatically perform a rinsing cycle. Place a container under the coffee spouts to collect the water.
