Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the coffee maker from its packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement: Place the machine on a stable, flat, and dry surface, away from heat sources and water splashes.
3. Initial Rinse: Before first use, fill the water tank with fresh drinking water. Place a large container under the coffee spout. Press the "Stop & Go" button to run water through the system without a capsule until the tank is empty. Repeat this process once or twice to ensure the system is clean.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet (240 Volts).

Operating Instructions

1. Fill Water Tank: Ensure the transparent water tank is filled with fresh, cold drinking water.
2. Power On: Press the "Stop & Go" button to turn on the machine. The button will flash while heating up (approx. 25 seconds) and remain steady when ready for use.
3. Insert Capsule: Lift the lever to open the capsule compartment. Insert one Lavazza A Modo Mio capsule into the compartment. Close the lever firmly.

   

4. Place Cup: Place your coffee cup on the drip tray. For larger cups, the drip tray can be removed.
5. Brew Coffee: Press the "Stop & Go" button. The machine will start brewing. Press the button again to stop the flow when your desired coffee volume is reached.

   

6. Eject Capsule: After brewing, lift the lever again to automatically eject the used capsule into the internal collection bin. Close the lever.
7. Power Off: The machine will automatically turn off after a period of inactivity to save energy. You can also manually turn it off by pressing and holding the "Stop & Go" button.

Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

• Drip Tray and Used Capsule Bin: Empty and rinse the drip tray and the used capsule collection bin daily with warm water. Dry thoroughly.
• Water Tank: Rinse the water tank daily and refill with fresh water.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Descaling

Descaling is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your coffee machine, especially in areas with hard water. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage.

1. Prepare Descaling Solution: Follow the instructions on a suitable descaling product for coffee machines. Pour the solution into the water tank.
2. Run Descaling Cycle: Place a large container under the coffee spout. Press the "Stop & Go" button to start the descaling process, allowing the solution to run through the machine until the tank is empty.
3. Rinse: After the descaling solution has run through, rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill it with fresh water. Run several full tanks of fresh water through the machine to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
