3. Use Guide
3.1 Initial Setup and Warming Up
- Place the machine on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface.
- Fill the removable water tank with fresh, cold water and reinsert it securely.
- Plug the power cord into a 120V outlet.
- The machine will begin warming up. A flashing light on the control button indicates the warm-up process. Wait until the warming up is complete before attempting to brew.
Note: Do not brew coffee immediately after using the steam function. Allow the machine a moment to stabilize.
3.2 Brewing Espresso
- Ensure the machine is warmed up (flashing light has stopped).
- Insert the portafilter into the group head and turn it to lock.
- Place a cup under the portafilter.
- Use the touchscreen to select your desired brew (e.g., Single Cup, Double Cup).
- The machine will begin extraction. The process will stop automatically.
3.3 Using the Steam Wand for Milk Frothing
- After brewing espresso, ensure the steam wand is clean.
- Place cold milk (preferably in a stainless steel pitcher) under the steam wand tip.
- Select the steam function on the touchscreen.
- Once ready, open the steam valve (typically by turning the wand knob). Position the tip just below the milk surface to create foam.
- Frothing takes approximately 10 seconds to create velvety microfoam.
- Turn off the steam function and wipe the wand clean with a damp cloth immediately after use.
3.4 Using the Hot Water Function
- Place a cup under the steam wand.
- Select the hot water function on the touchscreen to dispense hot water for Americanos or tea.
3.5 Making Cappuccinos and Lattes
The touchscreen control system includes programmed settings to help craft beverages like Cappuccinos and Lattes. Follow the on-screen prompts after selecting your desired drink.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
4.1 Daily Cleaning
- Remove and rinse the drip tray, water tank, and portafilter after each use.
- Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth immediately after frothing to prevent milk residue from hardening.
- Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
4.2 Descaling
A smart sensor will alert you when descaling is required (approximately every 300 brew cycles).
- To activate the one-touch descaling function, hold the Hot Water or Double Cup button for 3 seconds.
- Follow the instructions on the touchscreen. Use a manufacturer-recommended descaling solution.
- Run several cycles of clean water through the system after descaling to flush out any residue.
All removable parts (steam wand, filter, drip tray) are dishwasher safe for easier cleaning.
4.3 General Care
- Always allow the machine to cool before cleaning.
- Never immerse the main unit, power cord, or plug in water.
- Ensure the water tank is filled with water before operating to prevent damage from running dry.
5. Troubleshooting
- Flashing light on button: The machine is warming up. Wait for it to complete before use.
- Can't brew coffee immediately after using steam: This is normal. Allow the machine a brief period to stabilize its temperature and pressure.
- No water comes out even after refilling the tank: Ensure the tank is correctly seated. There may be an airlock. Refer to the manual for priming instructions or contact support.
- Machine does not turn on: Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working 120V outlet.
- Weak coffee or no crema: Check the grind size and tamping pressure of your coffee grounds. Ensure the machine is fully warmed up.
- Steam wand is not producing steam: Ensure you have selected the steam function and that the machine has had sufficient time to build steam pressure after brewing.
