BEFORE FIRST USE

• Take out the coffee machine from the packaging box and check if the accessories are complete.
- Clean all detachable components thoroughly.
- Fill the water tank A ⑪ with fresh water up to the MAX level.
- Open the milk tank lid A 12, fill it with milk to the MAX level, close it securely, and attach it to the right side of the machine. Warning: Make sure the milk tank is properly installed. If not, excessive internal pressure during milk foam preparation may cause the tank to be ejected.
- Before using the machine, rinse it 2–3 times with clean water following the Latte preparation steps, but without adding any coffee powder.

Filling the water tank A11

- To fill the water tank A 11, open the lid C1 and lift the tank out. Fill it with fresh water, making sure not to exceed the MAX mark. Reinstall the tank A11 and ensure it is properly seated. Alternatively, you can fill the tank while it remains installed (see image).

Note: A small amount of water at the bottom of the tank is normal and can be removed with a clean sponge.

Important: Never operate the machine without water. Refill promptly when the level is low.

Adding Milk to the milk tank A15

- Remove the milk tank A 15 as shown in the product diagram, then lift the lid D 12 and pour in 3% full-fat milk at approximately 8°C. Close the lid securely and reinstall the container. When the milk tank is correctly installed, the Cappuccino and Latte indicators will turn ON (see image).

Preheating and self-check

• Plug the coffee machine into a power socket. After a one-second buzzer alert, the machine will run a self-check, with the button indicators lighting up sequentially. When the coffee function light starts flashing, the machine is preheating. Once the temperature reaches the set level, the light stays on, indicating that preheating is complete and the machine is ready for use.
• Warning: If the self-check detects an abnormality, all corresponding indicator lights will flash (see protection details), and the buzzer will sound continuously for 5 seconds. The coffee machine will not operate, and the buttons will be disabled. After 30 seconds of alarm, the machine will automatically switch to standby mode, and all indicator lights will turn off.

Reminder: How to Install and Remove the Milk Tank

1. After preheating, if the milk tank is not installed, the Espresso button light will stay on, while the Cappuccino and Latte button lights will flash as a reminder. During this time, the Cappuccino and Latte functions are disabled. Once the milk tank is installed, both lights will remain on, and the functions will become active.
2. After preheating, if the milk tank is removed, the buzzer will sound three times. The Cappuccino and Latte button lights will flash rapidly three times, then switch to slow flashing. At this point, both functions are disabled.

USE

Brewing Functions

- Insert the filter basket A ⑦ into the funnel, ensuring it passes through the opening and then rotate it slightly to lock it in place (see image E). Add the desired amount of coffee powder into the filter cup.

Brewing functions are available only after preheating is complete.

• Button order (left → right): Espresso B 18, Cappuccino B19, Latte B20, Double Cup B21.
• When a coffee type is selected, its button flashes; the other three coffee buttons turn OFF.

• For a double, press Double Cup B 21 within 3 seconds (indicator turns ON).
• Place a suitable cup on the drip tray A 10 under the outlets.
• Milk is foamed and dispensed through the milk tube A 14 into the cup.
• When the target milk volume is reached, the machine automatically cools to coffee temperature. Cooling water/steam is discharged into the drip tray A10.
• Coffee then dispenses from the funnel into the cup until complete.
• The machine returns to standby, the buzzer beeps once, all three coffee function lights turn steady ON, and the cleaning prompt (Double Cup light) begins to flash.

WARNING: Do not remove the milk tank during operation burn hazard.

Latte Function

Follows the same sequence as Cappuccino, with milk-to-coffee ratios tailored for Latte:

- Requires milk tank connected and preheating complete.

• Latte button 2120 shows a breathing (pulsing) light, others turn OFF. Double Cup can be selected within 3 seconds.
• Milk foam dispenses first, the system cools automatically, coffee is dispensed, the buzzer beeps once at completion, indicators turn steady ON, and the cleaning prompt flashes.

Standalone Milk Foam Function

Produces milk foam only (no coffee extraction).

• With the milk tank connected and preheating complete, press and hold the Latte button B 20 for 3 seconds to start.
• The Latte button B 20 shows a breathing (pulsing) light and other buttons turn OFF.
• Place a cup under the milk outlet tube.
• Discharge of hot water/steam to the drip tray A 10 during heating is normal.
• Milk is foamed and dispensed until the set volume is reached (approx. 200 ml).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

To keep your espresso machine working well and your coffee tasting great, follow these cleaning steps every 2 to 3 months:

1. Self-clean program

- When the device is in standby mode or the cleaning indicator light is flashing, fill the milk tank A15 with water up to the MAX position. With the milk tank closed and the heating function enabled, press and hold the Double Cup button B21 for 3 seconds to enter the cleaning mode. The water pump starts working, and the cleaned water flows out through the milk outlet tube until the cleaning process is completed. The machine returns to the preheating state, and the three indicator lights slowly flash. This indicates that the cleaning function has been completed. And it is program for clean the milk tank.

1. Descale the machine

- Fill the water tank A 11 to the MAX level and add one packet of descaling agent or citric acid. Ensure the milk tank A 15 is closed and in place. Press and hold the Espresso B 18 and Latte B 20 buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to activate the descaling mode. The machine will circulate water through the coffee outlet and milk outlet in repeated cycles. This process runs for 6 cycles and then automatically returns the machine to the preheating state.

• Use a coffee machine descaling agent. Mix it with water in a 4:1 ratio (4 parts water to 1 part descaler), or follow the instructions on the product label.
• If you don't have a descaling agent, you can use citric acid instead. Mix 100 parts water to 3 parts citric acid.

Important: After the cleaning process is completed, it is necessary to remove any remaining citric acid or cleaning agent from the machine. Wash the machine with clean water 2-3 times according to the coffee/hot water preparation process: There is no need to add coffee powder when cleaning the coffee machine.

Scale Removal Reminder

- The coffee machine tracks the number of brewing cycles. When it reaches 300 uses, the Espresso B ^18 , Cappuccino B ^19 , and Latte B ^20 lights will slowly flash in sequence as a reminder to perform descaling.

Note: This reminder does not stop the machine from operating. However, the lights (Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, and Double Cup) will continue flashing slowly in sequence until the descaling process is completed

STORAGE

Unplug the device whenever it is not in use. Allow it to cool, then store it in a safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance. This will cause the cord to wear and break prematurely. Handle the cord carefully and avoid jerking, twisting, or straining it, especially at plug connections.
