Important
Proper instructions by your dealer as to the use of the Pro 800 is imperative.
There is a danger of injury!

If you have any further questions or if you require any further information, please contact a qualified specialist before starting up the espresso coffee machine.
Our machines comply with the relevant safety regulations.
Any repairs or changes of single components must be carried out by an authorised specialty dealer.
In case of non-observance the manufacturer does not assume liability and is not liable for recourse.

Ask for authorised service points outside of Europe.

Important
You should use water with a hardness of 4°dH in order to protect your machine from lime scale damage. To prevent lime scale damage, you can insert our water filter pads directly into the water tank.
If these measures are insufficient, a prophylactic descaling of the machine may be required. If you operate your machine with direct water connection, contact your specialised dealer before undertaking this measure. This will protect your machine against expensive repairs.

Water supply connection

Important!
Make sure that the fixed water connection of the machine is hooked up to a potable water supply with an operational pressure of 2 bar (0,2 MPa) to 3 bar (0,3 MPa).
Please note that the pressure of the water supply may not always be consistent. As soon as 3 bar (0,3 MPa) of pressure are occasionally exceeded, install a pressure reducer.
A shut-off valve should also be used. This should be easily accessible to ensure that the water supply can be cut off at any time. 

Machine in use with a direct water connection

The boiler is filled by the line pressure, if you are using the Pro 800 with a fixed water connection. The pump is not activated when using a fixed water connection.
Make sure that the fixed water connection of the machine is hooked up to a potable water supply with an operational pressure of 2 bar (0,2 MPa) to 3 bar (0,3 MPa). Please note that the pressure of the water supply may not always be consistent. As soon as 3 bar (0,3 MPa). of pressure are occasionally exceeded, install a pressure reducer.

The water connecting hose 1.8” is to be connected to the water supply adapter 3.8” (image 1).

Always use the hose supplied with the machine to connect the machine to the water supply system, even if an old hose is already present.

When using the machine with direct water supply, the valve has to be turned towards the water supply adapter (image 1). The water supply adapter is located in the rear part of the bottom panel (image 1).
Additionally, place the switch behind the drip tray into position “1” (image 2). Please make sure that your water tap is always open during water- connection usage, so that the machine never runs out of water!

Important

• Make sure that only a qualified specialist connects the machine to the water mains and installs the pressure regulator.

• Proper instructions by your dealer how to the use of the PRO 800 is imperative.
  Danger of injury.

• To avoid calcification of the machine, a water filter is recommended.

• An already calcified machine may only be descaled by a qualified specialist because a partial disassembly of the boiler and the tubing may be necessary to prevent the system from being blocked by lime residues. A late descaling can cause substantial damage to the machine.

Residual water

The residual water is disposed off periodically by emptying out the water drip tray.

Alternatively, you can hook the machine directly up to a water drainage. Please proceed as follows:
Remove the sealing screw/rubber plug in the drip tray and fasten the drainage container to the rim below the drip tray. Connect a suitable hose (not included with delivery) to the drip tray and to an already installed drainage syphon.

FIRST USE

Read the instruction manual carefully prior to operating the machine.

**** Prior to starting the machine, check if:

• the steam and hot water valves are closed.

1. Place a suitable container (with heat-insulated grip) underneath the hot water wand. Now you can dispense hot water (e.g. for tea). When dispensing large amounts of water, it is advisable to turn the machine off so that no cold water is pumped out of the fresh water tank.
2. After having dispensed hot water, turn the machine back on. The boiler is automatically refilled with fresh water.

**** When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing hot water.

Caution!
Always keep the hot water nozzle underneath the surface of the water while heating in order to avoid splashing. Risk of injury

Dispensing of steam
The PRO 800 makes it possible to generate large amounts of steam in order to heat or froth beverages, e. g. milk or punch. Therefore, within a few seconds, you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.

1. Important: In order to get the best results when frothing milk, open the steam lever for approx. 5. seconds to release the condensation water in the pipe. This also prevents milk from being sucked into the boiler.
2. Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) into the liquid.
3. Re-open the steam handle/steam lever.
4. Heat and/or froth the liquid.
5. After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the holes of the steam nozzle clean.

You can purchase the following steam tips from your dealer:
2-hole steam tip, item no. P2543
4-hole steam tip, item no. P2542

Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or frothing in order to avoid splashing.

Important
After every application, clean the steam nozzle and the steam dispenser with a nonabrasive, damp cloth; This removes possible liquid residues.

How to froth milk like a “Barista”

• If possible, use cold, fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even homogenized milk is suitable – if you prefer.

• Use a frothing container (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should not be too wide. A narrow and high container is perfect.

• Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.

• Fill 1/3 of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.

• Slowly open the steam handle or the steam lever valve. Steam pervades the milk.

• Keep the frothing container still.

• After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. Proper frothing begins. Move the milk jug downwards while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the frothed milk.

• Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the frothing container for a short time and close the steam handle or the steam lever valve.
  **** Milk proteins “froth” with a temperature up to 77° C.
  Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth any further.

• Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit in order to make the milk bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth. After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to avoid blockage of the steam nozzle

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
