3. Using the Cup Warmer:
Place your cups on the metal plate on top of the machine. The residual heat from the brewing process will gently warm your cups, helping to maintain the temperature of your coffee.
Maintenance

1. Daily Cleaning:
- Drip Tray: Empty and rinse the drip tray after each use or when the indicator floats up.
- Portafilter: Remove spent coffee grounds and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under running water.
- Milk System: After preparing milk-based drinks, run the 'Clean' function on the milk tank (if available) or manually flush the milk frother with hot water to prevent milk residue buildup.

2. Water Tank Cleaning:
Clean the water tank weekly with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure no soap residue remains.

Depending on water hardness and usage, the machine will require descaling every 2-3 months. Use a commercial descaling solution suitable for espresso machines. Follow the descaling solution manufacturer's instructions and the machine's specific descaling cycle (if available, otherwise run several cycles with the solution and then with clean water).
