V02 High End Traditional Semi Automatic Machine
INTRODUCTION
Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the espresso machine. It will advise how to get the best out of your machine, correct maintenance, and troubleshooting.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure the power cord is correctly grounded. The use of extension cords or multilocked adaptors is not advised. If necessary, only use adaptors that correspond to current safety regulations. Only use extensions or power adaptors rated to match the power input of the machine. The espresso machine is designed for the perfect extraction of espresso and heating milk. This device should be used for the above mentioned purpose only. The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damages caused by improper use of the machine.
Completely power down the machine and unplug it from its power source before
carrying out any maintenance. It is important to follow the maintenance steps
outlined by this manual to keep the machine in good working order.
In case of breakdown or malfunction, turn off the machine. Do not attempt
repairs.
Instead, call the authorized repair technician. Repairs should only be carried
out by authorized technicians who will use original spare parts for the
repair. Failure to comply with these regulations will compromise the
machine’s safety and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
– Do not leave the machine exposed to weather conditions (rain, sun, etc.)
– Do not allow children or unqualified users to operate the machine.
– Never put your hands under the steam nozzle or the group head while water or
steam is flowing, otherwise you put yourself at risk of scalding and burns.
– The group head and/or steam wand will be hot during machine operation.
Take care when using the machine to avoid burns.
ATTENTION: WHEN WORKING, THE BOILER CONTAINS PRESSURISED HOT WATER AND STEAM
INSTALLATION
WATER TANK
Before switching on the machine, fill the provided water tank with water. It
is advisable to remove the tank once a week and rinse it and fill it with
fresh cold water.
COFFEE PREPARATION
Remove the portafilter from the group head by moving the handle to the left in clockwise fashion. Fill the portafilter with ground coffee; use one 7-gram dose in the single- shot basket in the portafilter with the single pouring spout. Use one 14 gram dose in the double shot basket in the portafilter with the double pouring spouts. Tamp the coffee and pay attention that no grounds remain on the filter’s rim. Lock the portafilter back into the group head. Place your cup(s) under the portafilter spouts and lift the lever on the right upwards to a 90 degree angle to begin brewing. Push the lever on the right back down to stop the extraction.
A single shot of espresso should result in about 1 fluid oz and extract in 20-30 seconds. A double shot of espresso should result in about 2-2.5 fluid oz and take about 20-25 seconds to extract. If your extraction is too fast, adjust for a finer grind size. If your extraction is too slow, adjust for a coarser grind. Always tamp with consistent pressure.
CLEANING
PORTAFILTERS
Clean the portafilters and filter baskets each evening. Immerse the filters in
hot water so that the coffee oils dissolve. Do not use any chemical products
other than specific coffee cleaning products in order to avoid damaging the
group head and valves.
BACKFLUSHING
Back flush the machine each week to remove oils and coffee build-up from the
machine’s internals, and keep coffee tasting fresh. To back flush, use a blind
filter basket or back flush disc in your portafilter. Then add back flushing
detergent to the portafilter and lock it into place in the group head. Pull a
shot as you normally would for about 10 seconds. Repeat this 5 times. Then,
repeat this process 5 times without detergent in the portafilter to rinse the
system. To finish, run water through the group head without the portafilter
locked into place for 10 seconds or until the water is clear.
DRIP TRAY
Cleaning the drip tray each evening is also recommended.
STEAM WAND
The steam spouts have to be cleaned after each use in order to avoid milk
build-up blocking the openings of the steam spout.
BOILER DRAINING
NOTE: The machine must be cold when draining or you may get burned! When
storing the machine for extended periods of time or shipping the machine, make
sure to drain the boiler to prevent damage to the machine. To do this, locate
the black valve visible beneath your machine, closer to the left side. Opening
this valve will drain the boiler downward from the adjacent spout. You can
position the machine such that this spout will drain into your sink, or a
large container before opening the valve. Make sure to keep hold of the
machine to prevent it from tipping over.
ORANGE/RED LIGHT – TRIPLE PROTECTION FUNCTION
The orange/red light has a triple protection/alarm function outlined below.
Orange/red light blinking: the machine will timeout after 90 seconds of
brewing.
You can brew without interruption for 90 seconds at which point water flow
will cease. By this time, every type of coffee should be finished. This
prevents any possible flooding if someone forgets to stop water flow.
Orange/red light blinking: the water tank is empty. Refill the tank with
water.
Orange/red light solid: the pump is starting to fill the boiler. Should 3
minutes pass and the level sensor has not detected water, the machine will
turn off, and the orange light will illuminate solid. Check to make sure there
is enough water in the water reservoir.
