What should I do when I turn the machine on for the first time?

  • Remove and rinse the water tank.
  • Fill the water tank up to the MAX level, using only fresh, still drinking water.
  • Refit the tank.
  • Plug the power cord into a power outlet socket.
  • Press the on/brew switch to turn on the machine.
  • Wait until the machine has completed the heating cycle. The machine is ready when the on/brew switch lights up with a steady light.
  • Before brewing coffee, run at least one water tank of water through the appliance, without any capsules in the machine.
  • Now you're ready to taste your blends using the capsules. Enjoy your coffee!

What is descaling, why and how often do I need to do it?

Limescale formation is a normal occurrence when using your coffee machine and will result in reduced water flow or cold coffee. For this reason, you will need to descale the machine every three months or so, and in any case everytime the descaling light on the appliance is switched on (for machine models equipped with descaling alert). If you live in an area where hard water is prevalent, then the descaling maybe required to be completed more frequently.  Lavazza assumes no responsibility for damage to the machine resulting from failure to descale.

To complete the descaling process, use a non-toxic and/or non-harmful type of descaling product for coffee machines, commonly available on the market.

Do not drink the descaling solution and liquids that have run through the machine until the cycle is complete.

Never use vinegar as a descaling agent.

All of Lavazza's A Modo Mio coffee machines come with a 2 year warranty. From the moment of purchase your Lavazza A Modo Mio coffee machine's warranty will immediately begin. The warranty can not be postphoned to activate at a later date.
