For a quick visual guide, check out the “Setup” video, or follow the Setup instructions below:
1. Place the machine on a stable surface such as a countertop, at least 3 inches from any walls.
2. Plug it into a grounded outlet.
3. Press the Cumulus logo on the capsule holder to release it and check for the blank cleaning capsule. Leave this capsule in place for the initial rinse.
4. Remove the water tank, remove and discard the stickers and orange plugs from the back of the tank and the platform where the water tank sits.
5. Remove the water tank, fill it with clean water up to the fill line, and reinsert it. The alert light will pulse blue as the machine pumps water into the cooling chamber.
6. When the pumping stops, remove and refill the water tank.
7. Place a household container that holds at least 32 oz. under the spout and select "Still" on the dial
8. Press and hold the brew button for about 5 seconds until all indicator lights turn white
- The machine will then pump water through the system to rinse it thoroughly. This process typically takes about 15 minutes.
- When this cycle is complete, the machine will automatically unlock the capsule holder. Remove the blank capsule and store for future use.
9. Empty the household container and refill the water tank.
Your Cumulus Coffee Machine is now ready to brew!
