extruder and build plate to the home position.

Turn the printer off.

With the power turned off, manually move the extruder to each corner and to the
middle of the build plate. Use a sheet of ordinary printing paper to check the
distance between the build plate and the extruder nozzle. Loosen the knobs at each
corner to reduce the distance between the build plate and the extruder nozzle until
there is some slight resistance to moving the paper. Keep adjusting and testing until
the proper gap is present at all points.
ADDING FILAMENT
Preform the following steps to insert filament into the extruder.
1.
Open your filament. Using a pair of scissors or side cutters, diagonally snip the end
of the filament to make a point, as shown in the images below. Place the spool on
the Filament Holder.
2.
Squeeze the filament feed lever on the extruder, insert the
filament into the hole on top of the extruder, then release
the lever to lock the filament in place.
3.
Turn the printer on and allow it to finish initialization.
4.
Press Utilities > Change Filament > Add Filament. The printer
will automatically preheat and then feed filament into the
extruder. Press the Back button after several centimeters of filament have been
extruded.
