2. Setup

Before first use, ensure all packaging materials are removed and the machine is placed on a stable, level surface near a power outlet.

  1. Clean the Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the back of the machine. Wash it with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
  2. Fill the Water Tank: Fill the water tank with fresh, potable water up to the 'MAX' line. Place the tank back into the machine securely.
  3. Power On: Plug the machine into a suitable power outlet. The indicator lights for Lungo and Espresso will begin to blink, indicating the machine is heating up. Wait for the lights to become solid, which signifies the machine is ready for use (approximately 1 minute).
  4. First Use Rinse: Before brewing coffee, perform a rinse cycle. Place a cup under the dispenser. Press either the Lungo or Espresso button. Allow the hot water to run through the system. Discard the water. This primes the machine and cleans any manufacturing residue.
