Before using for the first time ■ Remove any stickers or film. ■ Pull enough of the power cable out of the storage compartment and plug in. ■ To clean, fill the water tank with 6 cups of water and replace it. ■ Put the jug into the appliance and switch on with button a. ■ Repeat the cleaning process.
