Assembly
BEFORE FIRST USE
Machine Preparation
Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories before discarding the packaging. Remove the plastic bag containing the water filter and water filter holder. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter basket, jug) using warm water and a gentle dish washing liquid. Rinse well then dry thoroughly.
INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER
- Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
- Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
- Wash the filter holder with cold water.
- Set the reminder for next month of replacement. We recommend to replace the filter after 3 months.
- Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.
- To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place.
- Fill the water tank with cold water before sliding back into position at the back of the machine and locking into place.
NOTE
DO NOT use highly filtered, demineralized or distilled water in this machine. This may affect the taste of the coffee.
Care & Cleaning
COLOR TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY
Please keep the touch screen dry and clean to ensure that the machine functions properly.
REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
The provided water filter helps prevent scale build-up in and on many of the inner functioning components. Replacing the water filter after three months or 10.6 USgal / 40L will reduce the need to descale the machine. The limitation of 10.6 USgal / 40L is based on water hardness level 4. If you are in level 2 area, you can increase this to 16 USgal / 60L.
NOTE
