3. Programming Cup Volume
You can customize the volume of your Espresso, Lungo, Cappuccino, and Latte Macchiato:
- For Espresso/Lungo: Insert a capsule and place a cup. Press and hold the desired coffee button (Espresso or Lungo). Release the button when the desired volume is reached. The machine will remember this setting for future brews.

- Exterior: Wipe the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

- Empty the drip tray and used capsule container.
- Fill the water tank with the descaling solution as per the kit instructions.
- Place a large container (at least 1L) under the coffee outlet and milk frother nozzle.

- After the descaling cycle, rinse the water tank and perform several rinsing cycles with fresh water to remove any descaling residue.
3. Storage
If the machine will not be used for an extended period, empty the water tank and clean all components. Store in a dry, dust-free place.
