4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all components are present.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the water tank, drip tray, and capsule adapters with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Positioning: Place the machine on a stable, level, and dry surface, away from heat sources and water.
- Fill Water Tank: Remove the transparent water tank from the back of the machine. Fill it with fresh, cold water up to the MAX line. Reattach the tank securely.
- First Rinse Cycle: Plug the machine into a grounded power outlet. Place a large cup under the coffee outlet. Press the power button (usually the middle button) to turn on the machine. Once the indicator light stops blinking and remains solid, select the long coffee button (larger cup icon) to run a cycle without any coffee or capsule. This cleans the internal system. Repeat this process 2-3 times.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee machine.
6.1 Daily Cleaning
- Drip Tray: Empty and rinse the drip tray after each use or when the indicator floats up.
- Water Tank: Empty any remaining water and rinse the tank daily. Refill with fresh water before each use.
- Capsule Adapters: Remove and rinse the used capsule adapter after each use. For ground coffee, discard the used grounds and rinse the adapter.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
6.2 Descaling
Descaling is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently in areas with hard water, to prevent mineral buildup.
- Empty the water tank and fill it with a descaling solution suitable for coffee machines (follow the descaler manufacturer's instructions for dilution).
- Place a large container (at least 1.5L) under the coffee outlet.
- Turn on the machine. Once preheated, press the long coffee button to start the descaling cycle. Allow the entire tank of solution to run through.
- After the descaling solution has run through, rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill it with fresh water.
- Run 2-3 full tanks of fresh water through the machine to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
