USER INSTRUCTIONS

Starting the machine:

1. Remove the machine from its packing and make sure all packing parts have been taken off (including the protection bags).

2. Lay the machine on a flat and steady surface far away from hot places and from the water taps.

3. Remove the water tank cover on the back of the machine and take out the water tank (1) paying attention not to damage the water tubes inside it.

4. Fill tank (1) with cold water.

5. Replace the water tank back in the machine and check that the water tubes are not bent and that the filter is well set on one of them.

6. Plug in the machine in the mains. Make sure that the wall socket is of the right voltage.

7. Place the filter holder (8) under the brewing group (5) and turn it from the left to the right. Leave it there so that it can get warm and it gets ready for use.

8. Switch the machine on by pressing the on/off switch (11). The integrated indicator light comes on to confirm the power supply.

9. Open the steam/hot water knob (4).

10. Position the lever switch (13) on coffee mode and press the pump switch (26).

11. When water comes out of the steam nozzle (6), push the pump switch down (26) and close the steam/hot water knob (4).

12. After completing all these operations, leave the machine on.

13. The PID (27) will visualize the degrees inside the boiler and will control the boiler’s heating.

14. The PID is already set by the producer on 95°C for coffee mode, i.e. the ideal temperature for a good cup of coffee. (If you want to change the PID’s temperature, please follow the instructions written under How to set the temperature inside the boiler by means of the PID).
    Grinding adjustment:

15. As a reference for the grinding degree, a grinding degree scale (20) has been placed on the coffee beans container (19): “7.6.5.4.3.2.1”

16. By taking as a point of reference the tally mark in the machine frame and by turning the grinding regulation knob (23), the grinding degree scale will turn accordingly.

17. Choose higher degrees to get coarse-ground coffee, or smaller degrees to get fine-ground coffee.

18. A correct grinding degree (taking into consideration the various coffee blends) is essential to get a good cup of coffee. We suggest degree 3 to get a medium grinding. Preparing an espresso coffee:

19. Check that tank (1) contains water by looking at the water level indicator.

20. Press the on/off switch (11): the indicator light of the switch (11) will come on. Do this operation only if the machine is off. If it’s on pass to the following point.

HOW TO SET THE BOILER’S TEMPERATURE BY MEANS OF THE PID:

The PID has been set by the producer of this machine on a temperature of 95°C for coffee mode and on 125°C for steam mode. In order to change the temperatures please proceed as follows:

• Press the button once: the display will show the writing “t1” that refers to the coffee thermostat set to 95°C
• Press the button twice: the display will show the writing “t2” which refers to the steam thermostat set at 125°C
• as soon as the display shows the writing t1 or t2 press the button to to change the previously set temperature. NB: in order to change the temperature’s value it’s necessary to press the button first and only afterward you can help yourself with the buttons in order to set the desired temperature, decreasing or increasing it.
• after 3 sec. from pressing the last button, the inserted temperature is memorized and the display shows the set temperature for coffee or steam.
• the temperature’s value can be set starting from a min. of 80C° up to a max. of 130C° for coffee mode and from a min. of 120°C up to a max. of 140°C for steam mode. NB: the display will flash while changing from steam mode to coffee mode and it will automatically stop only after reaching the set temperature for coffee mode.

Useful Tips:

• The strainers (9 and 10) do not need to be washed after every single use but we suggest checking that the holes are not obstructed.
• For a better result, we suggest keeping the cups warm on the cup warmer (2) which only operates by machine on.
• The PID (27) is already set by the producer at the right temperature for an excellent espresso and a constant steam distribution. During heating and coffee or water distribution, the temperature can oscillate (+/- 10/12°C). Also, a warning has been inserted for coffee mode (t1): after 108°C the PID’s display shows the temperature but intermittently; this is normal and it warns the user that the temperature is too high for a good espresso.

Routine maintenance and precautions:
It is recommended to clean, after each use, the steam tube and the strainer holder carefully

• For cleaning it is recommended the use of a wet damp cloth
• Do not leave the machine outdoors. And do not immerse the machine in water.
• The machine can be used only by adults and must be kept away from children
• Do not wash the strainer and strainer holder in the dishwasher.
• For any problem pls contact an authorized service center.
