• Ensure all components listed in the "Product Overview" section are present.
• Place the coffee maker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources.

3.2 Initial Cleaning and Priming

1. Wash the water tank, drip tray, and all capsule/ground coffee adapters with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
2. Fill the water tank (600 ml capacity) with fresh, clean water up to the MAX level.
3. Place the water tank back onto the machine securely.
4. Ensure the drip tray is in place. Place an empty cup (at least 200ml) on the drip tray.
5. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Note: This appliance has a European plug; use an appropriate adapter if necessary.
6. Press the Power button to turn on the machine. The indicator lights will flash as the machine heats up.
7. Once the lights stop flashing and remain steady, the machine is ready.
8. Without any capsule or ground coffee in the brewing head, press the brew button (usually the largest cup icon) to run a full cycle of hot water through the machine. This primes the pump and cleans the internal system.
9. Repeat the hot water cycle 2-3 times.
10. Discard the water from the cup and the drip tray. The machine is now ready for use.

Note: If the water tank runs dry during operation, the pump may need to be primed again by running a hot water cycle without a capsule.
