1. Setup

1.1 Unpacking and Initial Cleaning

1. Carefully remove the coffee machine from its packaging.
2. Remove all protective films and packaging materials.
3. Wash the water tank and drip tray with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Perform two flush cycles (one hot, one cold) without a capsule to clean the internal system. Fill the water tank, place a cup under the dispenser, and run a cycle. Repeat for the second flush.

1.2 Filling the Water Tank

• Remove the water tank from the back of the machine.
• Fill the tank with fresh, clean drinking water. For areas with hard water, consider using filtered water or a 50% mix of demineralized and tap water. Do not use distilled water or chemical additives.
• Reinsert the water tank firmly into its position.

1.3 Power Connection and Initial Start-up

• Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
• Press the power button to turn on the machine. The indicator light will illuminate.
• If water does not dispense during initial use, an airlock may be present. To resolve this, partially insert the water tank without fully clicking it into place, then repeatedly press the tank down and release it about 30-40 times to dislodge the airlock. Water should then begin to flow.

2. Operating Instructions

2.1 Preparing a Beverage

1. Ensure the machine is powered on and the water tank is filled.
2. Lift the locking handle and pull out the capsule holder.
3. Insert a NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto capsule into the holder.
4. Slide the capsule holder back into the machine and push down the locking handle until it clicks.
5. Place a cup or glass on the drip tray. Adjust the drip tray height if necessary for taller glasses.

2.2 Selecting Water Volume and Brewing

2. Use the selection wheel on the machine to adjust the water volume according to the capsule's recommendation.
3. Press the hot (red) or cold (blue) beverage button to start brewing. The machine will automatically stop when the selected volume is dispensed, thanks to the Flow-Stop technology.
4. Once brewing is complete, wait a few seconds for any remaining drips, then lift the locking handle to eject the used capsule into the integrated waste bin.
