TURNING ON THE MACHINE

  Position the machine on a flat and stable surface well away from water, flames and sources of heat. Unplug from the electricity mains if plugged in. When on, never cover the machine with tea towels or similar.

1 - To remove the tank lift it and turn slightly. Rinse with clean water & replace.

Using a water filter (optional accessory) improves the quality of the water and increases the life of the machine. Use the AquaAroma Crema Brita® filter for Lavazza. To insert the filter follow the instructions booklet that comes with the accessory. It is advisable not to modify the filter default setting.

2 - Fill the water tank up to the MAX level indicated using only fresh non-sparkling drinkable water.

The water must never go above the MAX indicator line and should always remain above the MIN marking. Only use fresh drinkable, non-sparkling water. Warm water and other liquids may damage the tank. Do not attempt to use the machine if there is no water in the tank. Check that the water level is above the MIN level indicated.

3 - The tank may only be filled via the side opening.

4 - Plug the power cord into the electricity mains and turn on/off switch to the ON position.

5 - Wait until the power light remains lit and the machine emits an acoustic sound.

ENERGY SAVING
