Before using the machine, your water
should be tested for hardness. This is
important to help prolong the life of the
machine and keep it in proper working
order.
If your water is above 3 grains/50 ppm of
hardness then the use of an in tank
softener for reservoir use or a softening
system if you are hooking the machine
to a water line is recommended.
The machine comes with a raised
platform which requires the feet to be
screwed into the base of the platform.
The machine can be operated with or
without the platform, but is required if the
machine is going to be hooked up to a
drain system.
Remove the machine from its packaging
and place on a level surface. Remove
the power cord and cup pedestal from
the water reservoir and grounds drawer.
Rinse the water reservoir out and fill with
softened water and then carefully place
into the machine. (Not dishwasher safe)
Install the power cord into the receptacle
in the back of the machine.
For reservoir use ensure the toggle

If you are using a softening system with
your machine be sure to replace or
recharge the softener as specified by the
manufacturer. Lifespan will vary based
on your waters hardness. Contact your
dealer if you have any questions about
water treatment.
Depending on your water pressure, you
may experience sRPH³FKDWWHULQJ´RIWKH
braided line. To adjust the regulator, pull

reservoir so it is necesary to periodically
check and empty the reservoir.
