MACHINE INSTALLATION

Warnings

Installation must be performed by qualified personnel, following the manufacturer’s instructions and in conformity with the laws in force.

Preparing the system for installation

Set the machine base on a well-leveled surface that is dry, smooth, strong, and stable and that must be at a height such that the cup warmer surface is 4.5 feet from the ground. Do not use jets of water or install them in places where jets of water are used. To guarantee normal operation, the appliance must be installed in locations where the temperature is between 41°F and 90°F and the humidity does not exceed 70%. The machine is powered and set up to operate with a tank or with a water supply system.

CONNECTION TO THE MAIN POWER NETWORK

– The connection to the main power network must be done by qualified personnel.
– The system must be installed in conformity with the current laws and it must be grounded.
The machine comes with a power cord with a plug; the ends of the cord must be connected to a double pole breaker with minimum contact opening of 3 mm with leakage current protection of 30mA.
Make sure that the water supply line is connected to a drinking water supply system with operating pressure between 14 and 87 psi. If the water supply system has pressures over 87 psi, use a pressure regulator. Install a water shut-off valve upstream of the machine connection.

Drain connection

Connect the rubber discharge tube, with an inner diameter of 1/2’’ to the connector set up on the machine’s overflow and to a siphon discharge that is open or that can be inspected set up beforehand.

WATER SUPPLY

The machine is set up to be connected to the water supply system. A softening system is recommended. Once the machine has been connected, use the water supply selection switch (Figure 2) to select the type of supply. Tanica= Tank Rete= Water Line or ”Network”

USING THE MACHINE

Turning on the machine and filling the boiler with water

Move the two-position switch to the ON position. Turn the machine power on (Fig. 1 ref. 1) switch to position 1 and make sure that the indicator light comes on. Wait until the boiler is filled and then wait until the boiler pressure gauge indicates pressure between 1 and 1.2 bar before using the machine.

Heating

To bring the machine to the correct temperature, and ensure properly operating, open the steam and water valve and discharge 2 or 3 times into the drain tray. If the red indicator light is on it means that the heating element is on. The pressure indicated by the boiler pressure gauge should be between 1 and 1.2 bar. (Fig. 1 ref. 12)

Preparing the coffee

Remove the portafilter from the dispensing group. Fill the portafilter with ground coffee; tamp the coffee being sure not to dirty the edge of the portafilter.

1. Re-hook the portafilter in its seat.
2. Lower the group lever to start dispensing.
3. Release the group lever, re-accompanying it to the rest position, to stop dispensing when the desired dose has been reached.

Warning: to avoid possible damage, the group lever, being subjected to water pressure and to the force exercised by the return springs, must always be re-accompanied to the rest position.

Steam dispensing

1. To avoid liquid backwashing into the boiler, discharge the steam using the valve knob.
2. Put the steam nozzle into the container of liquid to be heated.
3. Turn the steam valve knob. The amount of steam dispensed is proportional to the opening of the valve; the greater the opening of the valve, the greater the amount of dispensed steam.
4. When you have finished dispensing steam, close the valve, remove the pitcher of liquid, and immediately clean residues of heated liquid off the steam nozzle with a damp cloth and discharge a small amount of steam into the drain tray.

 Drawing of hot water

1. Place the water container under the dispenser.
2. Use the valve to draw the required amount of water.
3. When you have finished dispensing the water, close the valve.

Turning off the machine

1. Close the water shutoff valve.
2. Move the two-position switch to the off position.

MAINTENANCE

To allow the machine to operate properly, follow the maintenance instructions given below.

Safety rules

Do not use jets of water on the machine. Disconnect the machine from the electric line by moving the lever of the double position switch to the off position. We recommend unplugging the unit from the wall.
Close the water shutoff valve before performing maintenance and/or cleaning operations.
If the machine malfunctions, do not attempt to repair it by yourself but contact the technical support service right away. If the power cord is damaged, turn off the machine right away, turn off the water and contact the technical support service. Do not replace it by yourself. Perform cleaning/maintenance operations with the machine cooled down, preferably wearing gloves to protect hands.

Cleaning the machine

Clean the steam nozzle and the hot water dispenser after each use. Clean portafilter and baskets. Clean cup warmer grid and drain tray grid.

Scheduled checks

Check the tray located under the drain tray every two weeks. Clean the group gasket and screens weekly using the brush provided.

Resetting the thermostat

If the red indicator light indicating the operation of the boiler heating element does not light up when the machine is turned on or goes off during operation, reset the safety thermostat by pressing the button found under the machine. The button must be pressed using the special hole located under the machine (Figure 3). If resetting the thermostat does not allow the boiler heating element operation indicator light to go on and/or the thermostat repeatedly cuts off power to the heating elements, contact the technical support service. Contact the dealer in your area for technical assistance.

Decommissioning Machine

Temporarily

-Clean the coffee group, the screen, and the gasket.
-Empty the water tank and the drip tray and wash them, or shut off the water supply.
-Turn off the main switch and remove the plug from the wall.
-Do the daily maintenance operations.
Store the machine in a dry place, protected from inclement weather and where only qualified people have access (do not leave it within the reach of minors or incapacitated adults).

Permanently

If you intend to put the machine out of operation or scrap it, do the following as well as the operations for putting it temporarily out of operation:
– Cut the power cord.
– Pack the machine in a box and deliver it to authorized waste disposal or used appliance pick-up service.

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS

If the power cord is damaged, contact an authorized service center to have it replaced since it requires the use of a special tool. Waste materials used for processing or maintenance, if they are not biodegradable or are polluting, should be put in separate containers and delivered to the appropriate waste collection center.

pin. This problem is caused by putting the nozzle in milk and not cleaned well after use.| Clean the steam nozzle after each use.
