Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the machine is placed on a stable, flat surface. Fill the water reservoir, plug in the power cord, and follow the initial priming instructions in the user manual. Grind beans using the pro grinder, tamp the coffee grounds into the portafilter, lock it into the group head, and start the extraction. For milk drinks, preheat the steam wand and then froth your milk.
Compatibility: This machine is designed to work with whole coffee beans. The included baskets are compatible with the De'Longhi portafilter. Ensure you use fresh, quality beans for the best results. It is recommended to use filtered water to prevent scale buildup.
Care: Regularly clean the portafilter, steam wand, and drip tray. Descale the machine periodically according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain performance and longevity. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the grinder burrs as recommended in the manual.
