machine before brewing coffee, including the filter holder, filter, and cup to prevent flavour
from being altered by cold parts.
Remove the detachable water tank, open the tank cover, and fill it up. The water level
-
should not exceed the "MAX" mark in the tank. Install the tank back in the device.
- Insert the stainless-steel filter into the portafilter. Then, insert the portafilter into the
appliance, matching the shape of the filter holder and the shape of the water outlet. Turn
the portafilter counterclockwise until the handle is aligned with the "lock" mark on the
appliance.
