FIRST USE

Initial Start Up

• Ensure the water filter is securely fitted inside
the water tank.
• Fill the water tank with cold, preferably
filtered water up to the MAX mark.
When replacing the water tank, ensure to
push down completely to lock into place.
NOTE
Always check the water level before use and
replace water daily. We recommend using
cold, filtered water. We do not recommend the
use of de-mineralised or distilled water or any
other liquid as this may affect the taste of the
espresso and how the machine is designed
to function.
• Ensure the hopper is locked into position.
• Plug the power cord into a 230V power
outlet.
• Press the POWER button to switch the
machine on. The POWER button light will
flash while the machine is heating.
NOTE
If the hopper is not correctly locked into
position, the FILTER SIZE LED's will flash.
• A pumping sound will be heard.
This is normal.
• When the machine has reached the correct
operating temperature, the POWER button
light will stop flashing and all button lights
on the control panel will illuminate.
The machine is now in STANDBY mode,
ready for the next step 'Flushing The
Machine'.
