Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon unboxing, place the machine on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the water tank is filled with fresh, filtered water. Run an initial rinse cycle without coffee beans to clean the internal pipes. The machine is compatible with both whole coffee beans and pre-ground coffee.
Compatibility: This model is optimized for standard espresso and milk-based drinks. Ensure you use quality, non-oily coffee beans to prevent the grinder from jamming.
Care: The EA8161 features built-in self-cleaning programs. It is crucial to follow the prompt on the LCD display when the machine indicates it is time for descaling. Rinse the milk nozzle after every use to prevent milk residue build-up, and empty the drip tray and coffee grounds container daily to maintain hygiene.
