Precautions
- Positioning
Set the machine down on a stable, level surface. Make sure the area around the machine is large enough to allow for effective ventilation and simple access to the water tank, portafilter, and other parts. - Water Supply
In the water tank, only use pure, fresh water. Water with impurities or that is excessively hard should not be used because they can shorten the machine’s lifespan and harm its performance. - Power Supply
Make that the machine’s voltage needs are met by the power supply’s voltage. Avoid utilizing extension cords or adapters that might not meet the machine’s power requirements. - Pre-Heating
Before brewing espresso, let the machine warm. This guarantees that the water is at the ideal temperature for extraction, improving the flavor of your coffee. - Portafilter Handling
Be mindful of the portafilter’s temperature when handling it because it might get hot during and after use. To avoid contacting the metal components, always use the handle. - Pressure Release
Wait a short while after brewing the espresso before removing the portafilter. As a result, any rapid release of steam is prevented, allowing pressure to dissipate gradually. - Cleaning and Maintenance
According to the instructions in the user handbook, descale and clean the machine frequently. Before cleaning, turn off and unplug the device and give each component time to cool. - Empty Water Tank
Empty the water tank if you won’t be using the machine for a while to avoid stagnant water accumulation.
