4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Remove the machine from its packaging. Remove any plastic film from the drip grid and dispose of packaging materials responsibly.
2. Placement: Place the machine on a stable, horizontal, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure it is near a suitable earthed power outlet.
3. Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the back of the machine. Fill it with fresh, cold drinking water up to the MAX level (700ML). Reattach the water tank securely.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cable into the machine and then into an earthed wall socket.
5. Initial Rinse: Before first use or after long periods of inactivity, perform a rinse cycle. Fill the water tank, place a container under the coffee outlet, and run the coffee preparation program (without a capsule) 3 to 6 times until clear water comes out. This primes the pump and cleans the internal system.

5. Operating Instructions

2. Place Cup: Place a cup under the coffee outlet. Adjust the cup support tray if needed for taller cups.
3. Insert Capsule: Lift the handle to open the capsule loading compartment. Insert a Nespresso-compatible coffee capsule. Close the handle completely to secure the capsule.
4. Power On: Press the On/Off switch to turn on the machine. The boiler inside will start preheating, and the light on the switch will flash for about 30 seconds. Once preheating is finished, the light will stop flashing and remain steady.
5. Brew Coffee: Press either the Espresso button (short cup) or the Lungo button (tall cup) depending on your desired coffee volume. The coffee will begin to dispense.
6. Capsule Ejection: After brewing, lift the handle to open the capsule loading cover. The used capsule will automatically drop into the used capsule container.
7. Selecting Coffee Volume (Programmable):
   • Press and hold the desired Espresso or Lungo button for around 3 seconds. Release it when the button light flashes quickly (around 2 times per second).
   • The machine will make coffee continuously.
   • Press the programmable button again when the desired volume is reached. The machine will save your setting.
   • Note: Espresso/Short Cup volume can be programmed between 10 and 35 seconds. Lungo/Tall Cup volume can be programmed between 35 and 60 seconds.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning:

• Do not use any strong or abrasive cleaning agent or solvent cleaner.
• Do not put in a dishwasher.
• Never immerse the appliance or part of it in water.
• Clean the coffee outlet regularly with a damp cloth.
• Empty the drip tray and used capsule container regularly.
• The capsule container, drip tray, and water tank are removable for quick and easy cleaning.

7. Troubleshooting

No coffee, no water:

• Check the water tank; if empty, fill with potable water. Descale if necessary.
• The capsule does not close completely or the machine doesn't start brewing.
• Empty the capsule container. Check that no capsule is blocked inside the machine.
• Leakage or unusual coffee flow.
• Make sure the water tank is correctly positioned.

Can't Brewing Coffee:

Before using for the first time or after long pauses (e.g., holidays), the machine may be difficult to pump water and brew coffee. To solve this problem, you can do this short procedure: enable the water pump to self-priming by pressing the Tall Cup Size button, but not necessarily to insert the coffee capsule. Operate 2 times later, then insert the coffee capsule, then the machine will be able to pump water and brew coffee out normally.
