Before first use, remove the water tank, drip tray and steam wand, and rinse them in warm water. Dry them fully, then slot everything back into place.

Install the filter into the tank using the mounting aid at the other end of the scoop.

If you're not using a water filter, test the hardness of your water with the testing strips. You can enter that level into your machine (see manual for instructions).

Next, fill up the water tank with fresh water from the tap, slot it into place and close the lid.

The machine will run a rinse through the dispenser each time you turn it on and off. Rinsing pre-heats the system for the ideal brewing temperature, then flushes away residue afterwards. Just remember to place an empty 0.7 L (24 oz) container under the dispenser to catch the rinse water.

Pour your favourite beans into the bean hopper, or add pre-ground coffee to the dedicated chute next to the hopper. Put the lid back on.

The on/off switch is at the side, just give it a press and watch your machine spring into action.

Fill and store your favourite coffee beans.

Say goodbye to spills – the tray catches them. It even has an 'empty me' reminder when it gets too full.

Adjust the height of the dispenser if needed and make sure to place your cup directly under the nozzles on the drip tray.

If you're making 2 drinks at once, align the cups carefully, one under each nozzle, and select the 2 cup option.

Toggle the ‘Drink Type’ button to select your drink. For iced coffee, select ‘Over Ice’ and put ice in your cup, under the dispenser, before brewing.

Use the 'Dose' and 'Strength' buttons to choose your preference.

Then just watch it go, it's as easy as that!

It's convenient to dispense a cup of boiled water to use for anything you choose. Ideal for tea, for example.

When it switches on, it gives itself a quick rinse to warm the internal pipes and brew unit, then another rinse when it shuts down

It's helpful to put an empty container under the spout, before rinses, to collect the water and prevent the drip tray from getting too full.

Wash the drip tray when it gets full, empty used coffee from the puck container and give the machine a wipe with a damp cloth. None of the removable parts of the machine are dishwasher safe, simply rinse with warm water.

After each use, use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the steam wand. Pull down on the metal tube to remove and rinse the inside of the tube. Put the metal tube back on to the steam wand and point the steam wand towards the drip tray. Turn on the steam wand for 3 seconds to clean.

When deeper care is needed, the relevant icon on your espresso machine display will light up. Press and hold the Clean and Start/Cancel buttons together to access the cleaning menu, and again to start a program, then follow the instructions in your manual.

Always add ice to your cup first. Then dispense your brewed coffee over it for a perfectly chilled, refreshing sip.
