6.5 Refill Powder
CAUTION: Be careful not to overload the machine with powder. When the light at the refill hatch turns red,
finish emptying the current powder package but do not continue powder refill with a new powder package.
Always remember to clean the filter before and after refilling as forgetting to do so might cause machine
failure.
1. Click "Refill" and let the machine open the refill hatch for you.
2. Clean the filter before filling a package.
a. Vacuum the machine's inlet hole. This is done by turning the refill lid on the refill hatch by hand and vacuuming in the
hole closest to the machine for three seconds. Remember to manually turn the refill lid to its original position before
using another powder package or exiting refill.
3. Place the powder package in the refill interface on the front of the machine.
4. When mounted, turn the powder package 180 degrees clockwise and then remove it.
5. When the machine has become silent, turn the powder package 180 degrees clockwise and then remove it.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until the machine indicates that is full. The machine indicates that it is full by turning the light on the front
of the refill hatch red.
7. Clean the filter as described in step 2.
8. Exit refill when the machine is full and you have performed the filter cleaning. Press "Refill" on the WeMote to unlock the
refill hatch and close it by hand.
6.5.1 Gravity Powder Status
• The picture above illustrates the powder level gauge that is shown during refill and on the main screen of the WeMote.
• The center bottom number displays how many powder packages Gravity is filled with.
• The outer gauge represents how filled Gravity currently is. The notch at the end position of the gauge represents the
maximum amount of powder packages Gravity can fit.
• The dashed powder package slots represent packages that we could fill Gravity with, and upon refill will be replaced with a
filled (white) package.
• From this example picture, we can conclude that the Gravity can be filled with 2 additional powder packages.
• The information icon is pressable and when pressed it will extend the powder meter to display more information.
