Setup

Before operating your espresso machine, ensure proper setup to guarantee optimal performance and longevity.

1. Unboxing and Initial Placement

• Carefully remove all packaging materials and components from the box.
• Place the machine on a stable, level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the machine.
• Verify that all included components are present: measuring scoop, grease tube, and water hardness test strip.

2. Water Hardness Test and AquaClean Filter Installation

• Use the provided water hardness test strip to determine your local water hardness. This information is crucial for setting up the automatic descaling frequency.
• Install the AquaClean filter in the water tank as per the instructions provided with the filter. This filter helps to purify water and can extend the time before descaling is required, up to 5000 cups.

3. Filling the Water Tank and Bean Hopper

• Fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water up to the MAX indication.
• Fill the bean hopper with whole coffee beans. The machine is designed for whole beans and features a durable ceramic grinder.
