STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

The machine can either be used with a water tank (2) or connected to the mains water supply using the hose provided (17). In order to use the machine with a water tank (2), the switch (C) has to be in position “I” (this should be done with the machine switched off) (Fig. 2-3).

To use the machine connected to the water supply:

Place the switch (C) to position “II” (this should be done with the machines switched off) (Fig. 2-3).
Connect the hose (17) to the fitting (D) located under the machine and then\ connect it to the water supply (Fig. 2).
It is recommended that you\ install a water softener on the machine’s water supply system.
Make sure that the water in the water supply that you will be connecting the machine to is\ potable.
This appliance should be\ connected to the water supply in compliance with the national Legislation of the country in which it is used.
The maximum inlet pressure\ to the machine from the water supply must not exceed 0.65 MPa. If it is higher than 0.5 MPa (5 bar), it is recommended that you install a balanced pressure regulator for high pressures.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND FIRST USE

To start the espresso coffee machine, carefully follow the instructions below:

Open the package, take out the machine and make sure that it is not damaged.
Place the machine on a level surface, remove the cover, take out the water tank (2) and rinse it.
Fill the tank with clean water, put it back in its seat. Close the machine\ cover.
If you connect the machine to the water supply, make sure that the water supply tap is open before switching on the machine.
Water can be drained directly into a drainage outlet by removing the plug (A) from the drip tray (13) and connecting the silicon tube (28) to the drain conduit (B) (Fig. 1) . Before connecting the machine, make sure that the mains power voltage is the same as the one indicated on the data plate located under the base of the machine.
Insert the plug into the power socket.
Then take the side and rear panels (38- 39) and screws (37) from the box. Use a screwdriver to fasten the panels to the frame with the screws (Fig. 9).
Before starting the machine, place the filter holder (12) into the group head (11); place a container under the group head and move the lever (15) upwards in order to fill the coffee boiler.
Turn on the machine by placing the on / off switch (1) to position “I”. Wait for approximately 2 seconds to allow\ the circuit to perform a check. The lamp (14) lights up to indicate that the machine is powered.
As soon as water starts to come out of the group head (11) move the lever (15) downwards to stop delivery.
Wait until the coffee boiler reaches the set temperature (92°) shown on the PID temperature controller (29).
Then turn on the service boiler by placing the switch (31) to position “I”. The light (32) turns on to indicate that the boiler is powered.
The automatic water level device will start filling the service boiler with water until it reaches the pre-set level; the level of water in the boiler \is monitored automatically and will be topped up automatically to the required level. The water level inside the service boiler can be checked by opening the lower (35) and upper level (36) glass knobs.
During start-up: when the boiler pressure gauge (4) indicates approximately 0.5 bar, slowly open the steam knob (7) to discharge any air that may be contained in the service boiler. Wait until steam starts to come out of the steam nozzle (10) before closing it.
Wait for the service boiler to reach the working pressure (1.1 – 1.3 bar), checking the boiler pressure on the pressure gauge (4). The PID temperature controller (29) is factory set to 122°.
Once the working pressure has been reached, use the group head lever (15).
Move the group head control lever (15) fully downwards to stop delivery.
The machine is now ready for use. If the water level is too low, the device automatically stops all machine functions.

MANUAL BREWING PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

The brewing pressure can be adjusted manually by turning the pump pressure adjustment screw (F) (Fig. 4).

To check the pressure during delivery:

Insert the filter holder containing the blind filter into the group head.
Move the group head control lever (15) and read the pressure on the pump pressure gauge (4). The correct pressure is 8/9 bar.
If the pressure indicated on the pressure gauge is not correct, turn the pump pressure adjustment screw (F) (Fig.4) clockwise to increase or anticlockwise to decrease the pump pressure.

SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

The models are fitted with two PID\ temperature controllers (29, 30). The PID temperature controllers regulate the temperature of both \boilers, which are programmable and \can be independently controlled. This system makes it possible to brew coffee at different temperatures. \The PID temperature controller for the coffee boiler (29) is factory set to 92°C. To adjust the setting proceed as follows (Fig. 7):

press the button as soon as “PRG” appears on the display, press the button ;
when the temperature of the boiler appears on the display, press the and buttons to increase or decrease the temperature from a\ minimum of 80°C to a maximum of 133°C.
3 seconds after having pressed the last button, the value is memorized and the display indicates the temperature. The PID temperature controller for the service boiler (30) is factory-set to 122°C.

To adjust the setting proceed as follows:

press the button as soon as\ “PRG” appears on the display, press the button ;
when the temperature of the boiler appears on the display, press the and buttons to increase or decrease the temperature from a minimum of 110°C to a maximum of 133°C.
3 seconds after having pressed the last button, the value is memorized and the display indicates the temperature.
The PID temperature controller\ has been factory set to the right temperature for making an excellent espresso.
If the temperature of the coffee boiler is set higher than 103°C, the display (29) will start to flash. This warns the user that the coffee will not be good if it is delivered atsuch a high temperature.

USING THE MACHINE

PREPARING AND DISPENSING COFFEE

Once you have carried out the operations described in section 4.1-4.2, the machine is ready for use.

Do not cover the cup-warming shelf with fabrics, felt etc.

Once switched on, the machine takes about 15 minutes to heat up. The outside temperature can affect heating times.
It is recommended that you\ place the filter holder in the\ group head before switching the machine on. This allows the filter holder to reach a perfect temperature.

To prepare coffee, proceed as follows:

Place the required filter (22-23) into the filter holder (25-26).
Fill the filter with the required amount of coffee for 1 or 2 cups (7-8 g – 14-16 g) according to the filter selected.
Level the coffee and compact it using\ the tamper (18). Remove any coffee residues from the edge of the filter using the palm of your hand and insert the filter holder into the group head (11), moving it towards the right to secure it.
Place the cups under the spouts and\ start to dispense coffee using the group head control lever (15). The coffee is dispensed by moving the group head lever (15) located on the control panel upwards.
Once the required amount of coffee has been dispensed, move the group head lever (15) down to stop delivery.
To dispense additional cups of coffee, remove the filter holder (12) from the group head (11) by moving it towards\ the left, empty the coffee grounds and\ repeat the steps described above. \Do not touch the group heads or\ the steam and hot water nozzles when the machine is in operation and do not place your hands under the group heads or pipes during delivery in order to avoid possible scalding. When the machine is new, the filter holder may not be aligned (perpendicular to the machine) as shown in Figure 3. However, this does not prevent the machine from working properly. After being used for a short time, the filter holder will gradually become settled in the correct position.
- G = Position of the closed filter holder when the machine is new
- H = Position of the closed filter holder after the machine has been in use for a short time.
Coffee should be ground just before it is used. Once ground, coffee loses its flavour very quickly. If the coffee is too coarsely ground, the coffee will be light coloured and weak without\ froth and if the coffee is too finely\ ground the espresso will be dark and strong with little froth.
Warm cups help maintain the coffee at the right temperature. We therefore recommended that before using them, you place the cups on the cup warmer shelf (3), which will be warmed by the heat given off from the boiler.
The pump pressure can be read on the respective pressure gauge (5) during delivery.
The correct pressure for making coffee is 8/9 bar.

BREWING PRESSURE PROFILING CONTROL

The pressure gauge (33) mounted on the group head, allows the brewing pressure profile of the espresso to be read.
This allows the user to make sure that the grinding, pressing and the amount of the coffee in the filter is correct.
If the brewing pressure is lower than\ the pump calibration pressure (9\ bar factory setting), it means that the coffee has been ground too coarsely, that the coffee has not been compacted correctly, or the amount of coffee is insufficient.
The machine is also equipped with the BPPC (Brewing Pressure Profiling Control) system and relative lever (34).
The “BPPC” adjustment lever (34) allows you to modify the pressure exerted on the coffee in real time as it is being dispensed.
To modify the pressure profile during brewing, move the adjustment lever (34) to the right or left respectively to increase or decrease the pressure (Fig.5).
This allows you to control the coffee brewing process manually and to obtain the best possible result with every kind of coffee or blend. If the adjustment lever (34) is facing towards the right (as in Fig. 5), the coffee brewing pressure will be the same as the pressure exerted by the pump (8-9 bar), seen on the relative pressure gauge (5). It is not recommended to close the adjustment lever completely as the gauge pressure would indicate 0 bar and delivery would stop.

DISPENSING HOT WATER

Before dispensing hot water, make sure that the service boiler is on (Switch (31) in position “I”) and under pressure (Pressure gauge (4) indicates1.1 –1.3 bar)
Place a container under the nozzle (9).
Turn the hot water knob (6) anticlockwise to dispense hot water.
When you have enough hot water, turn the knob (6) clockwise to stop delivery.\ We recommend that you dispense a maximum of 200 ml of water.\ To protect the heating element, the machine\ has a filling time-out of 25 seconds. If the filling time exceeds 25 seconds, both PID temperature controllers (29 – 30) are disabled until the service boiler has been completely filled.

DISPENSING STEAM

Before dispensing steam, make sure that the service boiler is on (Switch (31) in position “I”) and under pressure (Pressure gauge (4) indicates 1.1 –1.3 bar)
Before heating any drinks, carefully dispense a small amount of steam from the steam nozzle (10) by turning the knob (7) anticlockwise to eliminate\ any condensation that may have formed in the boiler.
Place the liquid to be prepared in a container, immerse the steam nozzle (10) into the liquid and slowly turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise. The amount of steam delivered is proportional to how much you turn the knob. The more you open it, thegreater will be the amount of steam delivered.
When the required amount has been dispensed, turn the knob clockwise to stop delivery. Remove the container and clean the steam nozzle with a damp cloth.

To froth milk for a cappuccino:

Place some cold milk into a container.
Place the container with milk under steam nozzle (10) then immerse it a few millimetres into the milk.
Turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise and slowly move the container upwards to obtain a creamier froth.
Once the volume of milk has doubled, immerse the frothing nozzle completely and heat the milk.
Stop the steam by turning the steam knob (7) clockwise.
Danger of burns! Spurts of hot water may be ejected when you first start to dispense steam. Thenozzle can become extremely hot.
Do not touch it directly with your hands.
After heating the liquid, it is\ recommended that you purge the steam pipe by opening the valve for a few seconds.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

This appliance must not be immersed in water for cleaning

CLEANING THE STEAM AND HOT WATER NOZZLES

To avoid altering the taste of the drinks to be heated and to prevent the holes at the end of the nozzles from becoming clogged, clean thoroughly with a damp cloth after each use and dispense a small amount of steam.

CLEANING THE GROUP HEAD ANDSHOWER SCREENS

Remove the filter holder from the group head and clean the group’s gasket using the brush (16) provided.
Place the blind filter (27) provided in the filter holder (25-26).
Add a spoonful of coffee machine cleaning powder and insert the filterholder into the group head.
Use the lever (15) to start dispensing; stop dispensing after approximately 15-20 seconds.
Start and stop delivery several times until clean water is dispensed, in order to remove coffee and limescale deposits.
Remove the filter holder (24) and start dispensing several times in order to rinse the group head and eliminate any residues from the shower screens and the group head. If the machine has not been used for a long time, we recommend that you allow water to flow out to remove any deposits.

CLEANING THE FILTERS AND FILTER HOLDERS

Regularly check the holes in the filters in order to remove any coffee deposits.
Place approximately one litre of boiling water and four teaspoons of coffee machine cleaner in a suitable container. Immerse the filters and filter holders in the solution for 20-30 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly under running water.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE\MACHINE

To keep the outer surface of the coffee machine in good condition, it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let the appliance cool down first. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.

REPLACING THE GROUP HEAD GASKET (Fig. 8)

If coffee leaks from around the edges of the filter holder (L) when it is dispensed, it may be due to an obstruction in the delivery hole of the filter- holder, in which case the hole should be cleaned. If the problem persists or if the filter holder moves significantly beyond the centre of the group head when it is being fitted, the group head gasket should be replaced.

To replace it, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the machine is switched off and disconnect the power cable.
Remove the gasket (I) and the shower screen (M), using a flat screwdriver as a lever.
After having removed the gasket and shower screen, clean the seat properly before installing the new components.
Once the new components have been installed, insert the filter holder, without the filter, into the group headand move it in order to seat the gasket.
