2. Setup and First Use

2.1 Unpacking and Placement

• Carefully remove all packaging materials.
• Place the machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources and heat.

2.2 Filling the Water Tank

The machine features a 900ML large capacity, detachable water storage tank.

1. Remove the water tank from the back of the machine.

2.3 Initial Cleaning Cycle

Before first use, perform a cleaning cycle without coffee to flush out any manufacturing residues.

1. Ensure the water tank is filled.
2. Place a large cup under the coffee spout.
3. Turn on the machine and allow it to preheat.
4. Run a cycle as if making espresso, allowing hot water to flow through the system.
5. Repeat this process for the steam wand, allowing steam to release for a few seconds.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Making an Espresso Base

1. Add Water: Ensure the water tank is filled with purified water.
2. Preheat: Press the "switch" button to turn on the machine. The light will flash during preheating and remain steady once preheating is complete.
3. Prepare Coffee: Add desired coffee powder into the filter. Use a coffee spoon to press the coffee powder firmly. Install the filter funnel securely into the machine.
4. Brew: Select your desired cup size (single or double cup). The machine will automatically stop after approximately 20 seconds for a single cup or 40 seconds for a double cup.

3.2 20 Bar High Pressure Extraction

The machine utilizes 20 Bar high-pressure extraction. This process allows steam to instantly penetrate the cell walls of the coffee powder, extracting the lipid essence to form a thick layer of crema and release the full coffee aroma.

3.3 Making Creamy Milk Foam

1. Prepare Milk: Pour refrigerated whole-fat milk into a latte cup or frothing pitcher.
2. Activate Steam: After the coffee machine is preheated, press the "Steam" button. Allow the steam wand to spray briefly to release any condensed water, then turn the steam knob to the "OFF" position once the steam flow is even.
3. Froth Milk: Submerge the steam pipe mouth approximately 1mm below the surface of the milk. Turn the "steam" knob counterclockwise to the maximum position. Move the pitcher to create a swirl in the milk, indicating air is being incorporated. Continue until desired foam consistency is achieved.
4. Serve: Pour the milk froth into your prepared coffee and create your desired latte art pattern.

4. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your espresso machine.

4.1 Daily Cleaning

• Water Tank: Empty and rinse the water tank daily.
• Filter and Portafilter: After each use, remove the portafilter and discard used coffee grounds. Rinse the filter and portafilter under running water. The double-layer filter is designed for easy cleaning.
• Steam Wand: Immediately after frothing milk, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying. Briefly release steam to clear any internal blockages. The 304 stainless steel steam pipe is durable and easy to clean.
• Removable Water Storage Tray: Empty and clean the drip tray regularly. This tray collects excess water and can be removed to accommodate taller glasses.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
