Key Components:

• Water Tank: Located at the back, removable for easy filling and cleaning.
• Pod Holder/Brewing Chamber: Accessed by lifting the handle, where the coffee pod is placed.
• Coffee Spout: Where the brewed coffee dispenses.
• Drip Tray: Collects excess liquid and supports your cup. Removable for cleaning.
• Power Button/Indicator Light: Controls the machine's power and indicates status.

4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the coffee machine and all accessories from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the removable water tank and drip tray with warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.
3. Fill Water Tank: Remove the water tank from the back of the machine. Fill it with fresh, cold drinking water up to the MAX line. Place the tank back securely.
4. First Use (Priming):
   • Place an empty cup under the coffee spout.
   • Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet.
   • Press the power button. The indicator light will illuminate.
   • Allow the machine to heat up (indicator light may change color or stop blinking).
