Setup
To set up this little Italian beauty follow the instructions below.
Unpacking machine
Carefully remove the external cladding of the packaging.
Remove from box and place on a sturdy, level surface.
Retain the machines packaging in-case of future need to
move, or send, the machine by courier. Please remove all
protective stickers from the stainless steel parts.
Power supply
Before connecting the machine to an electric supply,
ensure that the capacity and power rating is suitable
for the maximum power consumption indicated on the
espresso machine. Plug the power cord in to the back of
the machine and then into your standard 10amp power
socket. We do not recommend the use of accessory
attachments such as adapters, multi boards or extension
cords that are not recommended by the appliance
manufacture as they may cause injury.
Water supply
Take the tray off the top of the machine and use provided
funnel to pour your ltered water into the water tank. We
would advise to use the funnel to avoid spilling water down
the back of the machine. Once the water tank is lled, pop
the clear hoses with the water softener into the water.
Keep an eye on the water level of the tank and rell as
required. If the machine runs out of water the Cuadra will
turn off automatically.
Using ltered water is not a must but it is ideal as it
prevents lime scale. If you live in a rural area, or have
poor water supply, we highly recommend using ltered
or bottled water.
The machine has a water softener, but this is not a water
lter.
Waste
Load the waste tray into the slot of the bottom section of
the machine. The waste tray is for the purged water when
you are making an espresso or cleaning the machine.
Be sure to empty this when required.
Power on
Flick the switch to “on” and wait for the green light to
appear. Please allow 20 minutes or so for the machine to
completely heat up. Once your pressure gauge is sitting
at about 1-1.2 bar and the group head is hot you are ready
to make your choice of coffee.
