3. Setup Guide

3.1 Unpacking and Initial Cleaning

1. Carefully unpack all components and remove any packaging materials.
2. Wash the water tank, portafilter, and filter baskets with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth.

3.2 Water Tank Installation and Filling

1. Remove the 1.2L detachable transparent water tank from the back of the machine.
2. Fill the water tank with clean, fresh water up to the 'MAX' line.
3. Place the water tank back onto the machine, ensuring it is securely seated.

3.3 Priming the Machine (First Use)

1. Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet.
2. Place a large cup under the brew head.
3. Press the power button. The indicator lights will flash as the machine preheats.
4. Once the lights are solid, press the single shot button to run water through the system without coffee grounds. This primes the pump and cleans the internal components.
5. Repeat this process for the steam wand by turning the steam knob to release steam for a few seconds.

4.1 Making Espresso (Single or Double Shot)

1. Ensure the water tank is filled and the machine is plugged in and preheated (indicator lights solid).
2. Select the appropriate filter basket (single or double) and place it into the portafilter.
3. Using the measuring spoon, add desired amount of finely ground espresso coffee into the filter basket. For a single shot, use about 7g; for a double shot, use about 14g.
4. Use the tamper end of the spoon to firmly press the coffee grounds. Ensure the surface is level.
5. Wipe any excess coffee grounds from the rim of the portafilter.
6. Insert the portafilter into the brew head and turn it to the right until it is securely locked in place.
7. Place your espresso cup(s) on the drip tray directly under the portafilter spouts.
8. Press the single-cup or double-cup button on the control panel. The machine will begin brewing espresso with 20-bar pressure and automatic flow stop for precise dispensing.
9. Once brewing is complete, remove your cup(s).

4.2 Milk Frothing

1. Fill a milk pitcher with cold milk (dairy or non-dairy) to about one-third full.
2. Press the steam button on the control panel. The indicator light will flash as the machine heats up for steaming. Once solid, it's ready.
3. Before frothing milk, turn the steam knob briefly to release any condensed water from the steam wand into an empty cup. Turn the knob back to close the steam.
4. Immerse the steam wand into the milk, just below the surface.
5. Turn the steam knob to the open position. Steam will begin to froth the milk.
6. Move the pitcher up and down gently to create desired foam texture. For silky-smooth microfoam, keep the tip just below the surface.
7. Once the milk reaches desired temperature and texture (typically around 140-150°F or when the pitcher is too hot to touch comfortably), turn the steam knob to the closed position.
8. Remove the milk pitcher and wipe the steam wand immediately with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying.

4.3 Cup Warming Plate

The top surface of the machine features a built-in cup warming plate. Place your espresso cups here to preheat them, which helps maintain the temperature of your coffee for a richer flavor experience.

5. Maintenance & Cleaning

5.1 Daily Cleaning

• Portafilter and Filter Baskets: After each use, remove the portafilter, discard coffee grounds, and rinse the portafilter and filter basket under warm water.
• Steam Wand: Immediately after frothing milk, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. Briefly turn on the steam knob to clear any milk residue from inside the wand.
• Drip Tray: The dual drip tray is adjustable and detachable for easy cleaning. Empty and rinse the drip tray regularly.
• Water Tank: Rinse the water tank periodically and refill with fresh water.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

5.2 Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits from water can build up inside the machine, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descaling should be performed regularly, depending on water hardness and usage frequency (e.g., every 2-3 months).

1. Prepare a descaling solution according to the descaler manufacturer's instructions (or use a mixture of white vinegar and water).
2. Fill the water tank with the descaling solution.
3. Place a large container under the brew head and steam wand.
4. Run half of the solution through the brew head by pressing the double shot button.
5. Run the remaining half of the solution through the steam wand.
6. After descaling, rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh water. Run several cycles of fresh water through both the brew head and steam wand to thoroughly rinse the machine.
