Setting up a new coffee machine can be an exciting addition to your kitchen, allowing you to enjoy barista-style coffee right at home. If you’ve chosen the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Infinissima by Krups, you’ve selected a versatile and stylish machine capable of preparing a variety of delicious beverages. The Infinissima’s unique design and advanced features make it a standout choice for coffee lovers. Here’s how to set it up so you can start enjoying your favorite coffees, teas, and more.

### Unboxing and Initial Setup
Firstly, remove the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Infinissima machine from its box. Ensure all parts are included:
– Main machine body
– Removable water tank
– Drip tray
– Adjustable cup platform
– Instruction manual

Place the coffee machine on a stable, level surface near a power outlet. Make sure there is enough space around the machine for airflow and operation.

### Assembling the Machine
1. **Water Tank**: Fill the removable water tank with fresh, cold water. It conveniently slides or clicks into place at the back of the machine.

2. **Power Connection**: Plug the machine into an electrical outlet. The power button on top of the machine will flash red while it’s heating up and will turn green when it’s ready to use.

3. **Drip Tray and Cup Platform**: Insert the drip tray at the base of the unit and adjust the height of the cup platform according to your cup size. This ensures minimal splashing and heat loss.

### Using Coffee Capsules
The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Infinissima uses specially designed capsules available in various flavors including espresso, latte macchiato, cappuccino, hot chocolate, and even tea varieties.

1. **Inserting Capsules**: Lift or slide back the capsule holder on top of the machine depending on your model’s design.
2. Place your chosen beverage capsule into it – look for markings or instructions on each capsule for correct placement.
3. Lower or close back securely after placing your capsule.

### Brewing Your Drink
With your capsule in place:
1. **Select Water Volume**: Use manual lever (in some models) or preset buttons (if available) to select how much water you need based on recommended volume settings indicated on each capsule.
2. **Start Brewing**: Push start or pull down lever depending on model specifics – this will commence brewing.
3. **Stop Brewing**: When beverage reaches desired amount (keep an eye as some models require manual stop), lift or push lever back to original position to stop water flow.

### Cleaning After Use
After enjoying a delicious beverage:
1. Allow capsules to cool before ejecting them from holder – dispose of used capsules in trash or compost if applicable.
2. Remove drip tray and cup platform; rinse under running water.
3. Wipe down exterior surfaces occasionally with a damp cloth; dry thoroughly.

### Regular Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance:
– Descale every 3-6 months using descaling solution following instructions provided in user manual.
– Always use fresh water by emptying unused water from tank if not used within few days.

Setting up your NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Infinissima is straightforward when following these steps closely – ensuring every cup of coffee brewed is perfect! Embrace each morning with a satisfying cafe-style treat that invigorates your senses right from comfort home!
