4. Setup

4.1 Initial Placement

Place the coffee maker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.

4.2 Water Line Connection (Optional Automatic Filling)

Your SYBO coffee maker can be connected to a direct water line for automatic filling. This requires a 3/8 inch water line (not included) and a waterline attachment (included). Professional installation is recommended for water line connections.

1. Locate the red cap on the back of the machine. Remove this cap.
2. Twist the included waterline attachment onto the water inlet at the back of the coffee maker until it is fully tightened and secure.
3. Insert the 3/8 inch water line firmly into the connector. It should lock into place and remain secure with a gentle pull.
4. Connect the other end of the water line to your building's water supply. Due to varying fittings, hiring a professional plumber is recommended for this step.

5.3 Automatic Water Filling (if connected to water line)

2. Press the "Push to Brew" button. The "Filling" indicator light will illuminate as the machine automatically fills the internal reservoir.
3. Once the reservoir is filled, the "Heating" indicator light will illuminate, and brewing will begin.
4. Note: During brewing, if you press "Push to Brew" again, there will be no water inflow. This is a safety device to prevent water from overfilling and to ensure coffee taste is not diluted by misuse.
