Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Rivelia Start involves priming the water circuit according to the on-screen prompts during first power-up. Ensure the machine is placed on a flat, stable surface with at least 10cm of clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. To maintain performance, the machine's internal software manages descaling schedules and rinse cycles; ensure you use the recommended DeLonghi descaler when prompted. The drip tray, ground coffee container, and milk carafe components are dishwasher safe, though hand washing with mild detergent is recommended for longevity. Periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
