Setup

The machine will run a cleaning cycle. Repeat this process 2-3 times.
3. Filling Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the back of the machine. Fill it with fresh, cold tap water up to the MAX mark. Replace the water tank securely.
4. Positioning: Place the machine on a stable, level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance.

3. Place Cup: Adjust the height of the cup stand if necessary and place your cup on the drip tray directly under the dispenser.
4. Brewing: Press the start/stop button. The machine will read the barcode on the T-Disc and automatically prepare your beverage with the correct amount of water, brewing time, and temperature.
5. Manual Adjustment (Optional): For some beverages, you can manually adjust the volume by pressing and holding the start/stop button during brewing. Release the button when the desired volume is reached.
6. After Brewing: Once brewing is complete, the status light will change. Carefully remove the used T-Disc and dispose of it. Close the brewing unit lid.
