4 Use the tab on the lid to pull the hinged side of the lid up, then fill the water tank
with fresh, cold, tap water.
5 Fill up to the max mark, but don't fill past the max mark.
6 Push the hinged side of the lid down, to close it.

mates with the valve in the machine, and the hooks on the water tank slides into
the holes at the top of the machine.

9 Alternatively, leave the water tank where it is, and fill it with a jug.

*
Use the * button to clean the internal parts (pipes, valves) of the machine, and to
fill the boiler with water. Do this before using the machine for the first time, or if the
machine hasn't been used for over a month.

13 Don't press the 2 button - the light around the 2 button should be off.
14 Press the * button, the ready light will come on, you'll hear the pump working, and
after a few seconds, water will flow from the brewing head into the container.
15 Wait till the water stops dripping from the brewing head, then pour away the water
in the container.
16 If no water flows from the brewing head after 20 seconds, swing the frother out
(away from the machine), put a container 150-170mm (5g - 6f inches) high under
the frother. Slowly turn the steam control S fully anti-clockwise, pause for a count of
two – to release any pressure, then turn the steam control fully clockwise to close it,
then repeat steps 13 to 14.

through the system. Prime before use, after replacing the water tank, after refilling, if
the tank has run dry, or if it's been unused for over an hour.
