level marked. Alternatively remove the lid and fill the tank whilst in position on

● We recommend using filtered water from a Kenwood water filter as it produces
better coffee and reduces limescale. Never use fizzy water.
Re fit the tank. Make sure that it is correctly located and apply light pressure if

necessary to ensure the valve at the bottom of the tank connects with the
bottom of the machine.
Note it is normal for water to remain in the compartment under the tank. This
can be dried using a sponge.
Important
Never operate the machine without water in the tank. Top up as
soon as the level gets low.
