Function Description:
The TASSIMO SUNY operates by reading barcodes on T DISCs to automatically brew a wide range of beverages, including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The machine features a brewing system with a T DISC support and a T DISC piercing unit. It includes a removable water tank, a cup stand (adjustable for different cup sizes), and a drip tray. The appliance is equipped with LED indicators for status, water tank fill level, and descaling.
Important Technical Specifications:
The device requires a power supply and should be connected to a properly installed earthed socket. It is designed to use only TASSIMO T DISCs.

Chemically softened or descaled water should not be used for brewing.
