2.2 Machine Placement
Place the machine on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from water splashes and heat sources. Ensure adequate space around the machine for ventilation and access to the water tank and used capsule container.
2.3 First Use and Rinsing
- Fill the water tank with fresh drinking water.
- Place a container under the coffee outlet.
- Press the coffee button to start the rinsing cycle. Repeat this process 2-3 times to clean the internal system.
2.4 Filling the Water Tank
The water tank is located at the side of the machine. Lift the lid, remove the tank, fill it with fresh drinking water, and place it back securely. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped in the system, as this can prevent the machine from operating correctly. If air bubbles are present, gently lift and reseat the water tank to dislodge them.
