3. Setup and First Use

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Ensure all components listed in Section 2 are present and undamaged. Place the machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources.

3.2 Initial Cleaning

1. Wash the water tank, drip tray, and milk frother (if detachable) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
2. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.

3.3 Filling the Water Tank

1. Remove the water tank from the back of the machine.
2. Fill the tank with fresh, cold drinking water up to the MAX fill line. Do not use hot water or other liquids.
3. Place the water tank back onto the machine, ensuring it is securely seated.

3.4 Priming the Machine (First Use)

1. Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Press the Power button to turn on the machine. The indicator lights will blink as the machine heats up.
3. Place a large cup (at least 8 oz) under the coffee outlet.
4. Once the lights stop blinking and remain solid, press any brew button (e.g., Espresso button) without a capsule inserted.
5. Allow the machine to dispense water until the tank is empty. This cleans the internal system and primes the pump.
6. Repeat this process 2-3 times to ensure thorough cleaning and priming.

4. Operating Instructions

1. Ensure the water tank is filled with fresh water.
2. Turn on the machine and wait for it to heat up (indicator lights solid).
3. Lift the brewing lever to open the capsule compartment.
4. Insert a Nespresso compatible capsule into the compartment.
5. Close the brewing lever firmly.
6. Place your desired cup on the drip tray under the coffee outlet.

8. After brewing, lift the brewing lever again to eject the used capsule into the internal collection bin.

4.2 Using the Milk Frother

Refer to the specific instructions provided with your milk frother accessory for detailed operation. Generally, fill the frother with milk, select the desired frothing option (hot or cold foam), and add the frothed milk to your espresso.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your espresso machine.
