Fill the water tank with cold, preferably
filtered water up to the MAX mark.
When replacing the water tank, ensure
to push down completely to lock into
place.
NOTE

Press the POWER button to switch the
machine On. The POWER button light
will flash while the machine is heating.
A pumping sound will be heard. This is
normal.
When the machine has reached the

and all button lights on the control panel
will illuminate. The machine is now in
STANDBY mode, ready for the next step
