Locate the water reservoir at the back of the machine. Remove any red plugs or tape from the bottom of the reservoir. Fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the MAX line. Slide the reservoir securely back into its position on the machine.

2. Milk Reservoir Setup

The milk reservoir is located on the side of the machine. Remove any protective tape. Fill the reservoir with your desired milk (whole, 2%, skim, or almond milk) up to the MAX line. Ensure the frothing tube is properly connected. Slide the milk reservoir into its designated slot on the machine until it clicks securely into place.

4. Power On and Priming

Plug the machine into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn on the power switch, usually located on the side or back of the unit. The status bar on the control panel will illuminate and progress from left to right, indicating the machine is heating up. Wait until the status bar is fully illuminated and the checkmark appears, and all beverage buttons are lit, indicating the machine is ready for use.

For first-time use or after extended periods of inactivity, it is recommended to prime the pump. Place a large cup under the portafilter. Select the 'Espresso' button (manual or auto single shot) without any coffee grounds in the portafilter. Allow hot water to run through the system for about 30 seconds, then press the button again to stop. Repeat this process for the milk frother by selecting the 'Froth' button.
