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 water tank located at the back of the machine by pulling down the water tank handle. 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.

TIP

To easily maneuver your machine, use the drop down swivel foot located under the drip tray. When turned to UNLOCK, the swivel foot drops down & lifts the machine upwards, making it easier to access the removable water tank or reposition the machine to another location.

•Soak the filter in a cup of water for 5 minutes then rinse under cold running water.

•Wash the filter holder with cold water, taking specific care to rinse the stainless steel mesh.

•Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.

Place filter into 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.
