3. Setup Guide

Follow these steps for the initial setup of your coffee machine:

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 water tank, drip tray, and used capsule drawer with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Fill Water Tank: Fill the water tank with fresh, cold drinking water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Place the tank back onto the machine securely.
4. First Use / Priming:
   • Plug the machine into a grounded power outlet.
   • Place a cup under the coffee dispenser.
   • Press the coffee button (usually the only button) to turn on the machine. The button will illuminate.
   • Wait for the button to stop flashing and remain steadily lit, indicating the machine is ready.

Brewing coffee with your Tiny Eco machine is simple:

1. Turn On: Ensure the water tank is filled. Press the coffee button to turn on the machine. The button will flash while heating up and become steadily lit when ready.
2. Insert Capsule: Lift the capsule lever, insert a Lavazza A Modo Mio capsule into the designated slot, and close the lever firmly.
3. Place Cup: Position your cup on the drip tray under the coffee dispenser.
4. Brew Coffee: Press the coffee button. The machine will start brewing. The Tiny Eco features a 'free dose' system, meaning you press the button to start and press it again to stop when your desired coffee volume is reached.
5. Remove Used Capsule: After brewing, lift the capsule lever. The used capsule will automatically drop into the internal collection drawer. Close the lever.
6. Turn Off: To turn off the machine, press and hold the coffee button for a few seconds, or it will automatically switch off after a period of inactivity to save energy.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure optimal performance and longevity of your machine:

• Daily Cleaning:
  • Empty and rinse the drip tray and used capsule drawer after each use or daily.
  • Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Water Tank Cleaning: Clean the water tank regularly with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the machine, affecting performance. Descale your machine every 3-6 months, or more frequently in hard water areas. Refer to the descaling solution manufacturer's instructions for specific steps, typically involving filling the water tank with a descaling solution and running several cycles without a capsule. Always rinse the machine thoroughly with fresh water after descaling.
