KNOW YOUR COFFEE MAKER
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Check whether all accessories are complete and whether the unit is damaged.
Add water of appropriate quality to the water tank. Rotate the handle
downwards to close the capsule gate. Place a container on the drip tray cover,
insert the plug, press down the power button and the red indicator will light
up. Wait until the blue indicator lights up. Then, press the coffee button and
the nozzle starts letting out the water. Allow it to flow for 2 minutes. To
stop the flow, press the coffee button again. Then, discard the water. Clean
all detachable parts thoroughly with warm water. Keep the empty capsule for
subsequent washing operations.
NOTE: While the coffee button is pressed down, the machine may produce a
pumping sound. This is normal. The sound means that water is being pumped for
brewing coffee.
USING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
-
Fill the detachable water tank with drinking water of appropriate quality.
-
Open the capsule gate by lifting the handle, and insert a coffee capsule. Close the capsule
gate by turning the handle downwards. -
Plug the power cord into the outlet. Press the power button and the red indicator will light up. It will remain lit until you press the power button again. Wait until the blue indicator lights up.
CAUTION: Never lift the handle during brewing. Otherwise, the coffee capsule will be ejected into the collection tray. -
Position a small cup on the drip tray cover. Make sure the drip tray is assembled in place (a click sound will be heard when you insert the assembly into place); if you open the drip tray cover, you can place a large cup on the cup holder grid.
-
Once the blue indicator lights up, press the coffee button. Coffee will start flowing out from the coffee nozzle. Once the desired amount has been reached, press the coffee button again to stop the flow.
NOTE: ① The flow will not stop automatically. To stop it, just press the button again.
② We recommend brewing 40 ml of coffee for a small cup, and 60 ml of coffee for a large cup. -
Once you have made coffee, always eject the capsule. Capsules are automatically ejected into the capsule collection tray when you lift the handle.
Caution: Never lift the handle during brewing cycles. -
If you want to brew another cup, insert a new capsule.
