MACHINE DESCRIPTION

Description of working cycle
Water coming from the tank at the back of the machine is sent to the boiler by a vibration pump controlled by a switch on the front panel. Water is heated by an electrical resistance and temperature is regulated and kept constant by contact thermostats located at the top of the boiler. Water passes through a valve, crossing a boiler filter to the infusion area. Hot water or steam can be directly  withdrawn from the boiler through the faucet.

For the best results and in compliance with current regulations, change the water contained in the boiler and pings at every daily startup of the machine.
These advices are indicative, the maintenance and cleaning schedules depend on the use of the machine. After each use

1.  Clean the steam nozzle.

2. Clean the filter holder and the filters.
   Daily

3. Clean the cup holding grid and the drain basin.

4. Clean the body.

5. Clean the group’s gasket with the brush supplied.

6. Wash the group as follows: hook the filter holder with the blind filter supplied to the group and initiate output for a few times. Immerse the filter holder and the filters in hot water for a few minutes to dissolve the grease of the coffee, use a cloth or sponge to remove it.
