OPERATION

To prepare the coffee machine before the first use, follow the instructions below:

1. Water tank
   Fill the water tank with distilled water up until the Max mark and place it back in the machine.
   Make sure it is in the correct position.

2. Grind setting knob
   – Turn the grind setting knob to the left.
   – Turn the grind setting knob clockwise.
   NOTE: when using the machine for the first time, set the grind setting to a level higher than 8.
   The adjustable grinding levels range from 1 (finest) to 15 (coarsest). The number of the arrow on the grind level icon corresponds to the selected grind level.
   WARNING: it is suggested not to adjust several levels at the same time to avoid causing damage. Never adjust the grinding level when the grinder is not in operation, as this could damage the grinder.

3. Adjust the coffee spout to the desired height
   The height of the coffee spout can be adjusted between 85 and 115 mm, depending on the  cup to be used, so you will have to adjust it. All you have to do is raise or lower it by exerting a little force.

4. Coffee machine
   – Open the panel and check that the brewing unit is properly installed in its position.
   – Check if the arrow on the brewing unit is aligned with the arrow on the upper bracket. If you hear a click when removing and reassembling it, this indicates that the brewing unit is correctly assembled.
   NOTE: the warning indicator light will light up and remain steady if the brewing unit is not installed in the correct position.
   – Close the panel and check that the panel and the machine body are in the same horizontal plane.
   NOTE: the warning indicator light will flash if the panel is not properly closed.

5. Inner drip tray and waste tank
   Open the panel and check if the drip tray and the waste tank are installed in place.
   NOTE: the inner drip tray is not correctly installed in position if the warning indicator light is flashing. The machine will not operate if there are any foreign objects in the front part of the waste tank.

6. Drip tray grid
   – Place the drip tray grid in the drip tray. The drip tray grid must be installed properly so that a coffee cup can be placed on it.
   – Put the drip tray into the appliance.
   NOTE: the drip tray collects the water from the spout during each rinsing and self-cleaning as well as any coffee that may spill during preparation. Empty and clean the drip tray daily.

7. Coffee bean tank
   Fill the coffee bean tank with the appropriate amount of fresh beans, maximum 200 g, then close the coffee bean tank cover.

WARNING: if the grinding blade has previously been removed, make sure that it is correctly installed when it is replaced before filling the coffee bean tank. Otherwise, you will have to empty it because it will be difficult to install.
