Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water, using the water level indicator.

Compatibility
The Smeg Cream Coffee Machine is compatible with standard paper coffee filters. Use any type of ground coffee, but the best results come from medium-grind coffee.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, discard the used coffee grounds and rinse the filter basket. Clean the carafe with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Descaling: Regularly descale the machine to remove mineral buildup. Follow the descaling instructions provided in the user manual, typically every 2-3 months or when the brewing time increases.
