Warnings

(d) Boiler Refilling Time-out

Ensure you read, understand and follow all instructions in this manual before using your machine, taking note of any warnings.

1) Machines contain high voltage parts, at no time should body panels be removed

while the machine is on.

2) Before removing any body panels, ensure the mains power and water supply has

been turned off and the machine has been allowed to cool and depressurised.

3) Always treat the machine with respect, do not use if the machine has been dropped,

vandalised or otherwise damaged, if in doubt contact your supplier or

Fracino Direct (0121 328 5757).

4) Do not allow unqualified personnel to tamper with your machine.

5) Your machine should have regular service. The usage and hardness of water in your

area will determine regularity (minimum once a year). It is essential that a water treatment unit be fitted in hard water areas to minimise the build up of scale.

6) Care should be taken when making drinks. Water is hot and can scald.

7) Do not operate the machine without adequate training.

8) It is your responsibility to have a boiler test certificate carried out annually. This is a requirement of the HSE under the PSSR Act of 2000. Contact Fracino or an authorised service agent for further information or to have your boiler tested.

9) If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its

service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

10) Coffee machines are heavy, take care when lifting or moving.

11) Children should be supervised to ensure they do not use or play with the coffee

machine or grinder.

12) This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced

physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

13) The appliance must not be cleaned with a water jet, or located in an area where a

water jet could be used.

14) Disconnecting, by-passing, tampering with or otherwise interfering with safety

valves, high limit thermostats, pressure switches or other safety or control devices may cause serious injury and/or damage to the appliance.

15) If the steam pressure gauge reads more than 1.5Bar, do not use the machine -

isolate the machine from the mains power supply and mains water supply. Contact Fracino or a Fracino approved service centre for advice, inspection and repair.

16) If the water/pump pressure gauge reads more than 12Bar, do not use the machine -

isolate the machine from the mains power supply and mains water supply. Contact Fracino or a Fracino approved service centre for advice, inspection and repair.

17) The following models require a mains water supply: Bambino, Contempo and

Romano, it is extremely important that these machine have a constant water supply while they are on, operating these machines without a water supply may void the warranty and may cause damage to the machine.

18) When using Heavenly, Cherub, Classico and Little Gem ensure the water tank has

sufficient fresh cold water in it, do not run the machine without water in the tank, doing so will damage the pump.

Start Up/ Fitting Water Filter

Fitting water filter

Note: For machines fitted with a removable water tank a water filter is supplied with the

machine - this must be used to soften water. It is recommended that only Fracino approved filters are used.

Note: The filter must be replaced regularly, every 2 months is recommended, even if the

machine has not been used constantly. It should be replaced more frequently with heavy use, refer to the instructions supplied with the filter for more information.

2) Fill the water tank with fresh coldwater, this can be done with a jug. Alternatively the tank

can be removed and filled at a sink.

1) Follow the instructions supplied with the filter, press filter adapter to the water filter then

gently push the filter on to the fitting on the bottom of the tank. The filter will hold itself in place.

WATER FILTER ADAPTER

Note:The water tank must be cleaned regularly, remove the tank from the machine

and clean using a mild detergent and warm water.

Warning: Do not clean the water tank in a dish washer, doing so may damage the tank.

1) Depending on the year ofthe model either lift the black lidor unscrew the silver lidon top

ofthe machine.

2) Fillthe tankwith fresh, cold water. Note: Ensure water filter has been fitted correctly

Plug the machine in andswitch iton atthe mains.

3) Turn the machineon viathe black rockeron/off switch below the top of the machine

on the right hand side. A red or bluedot on the switchwillilluminate.

4) An amber light will illuminate and the machine will start to fill the

boiler with water from the water tank.

Note: For Heavenly, Cherub, and Classico models only: When the water level reaches

the probe in the boiler it will stop filling and the amber light will go off. There is a time out feature in the electronics to protect the element which may stop the boiler filling before it is full. If this occurs, switch the machine OFF and then back ON again to re-set, the boiler will begin to fill until it reaches the probe, then the amber or blue light will go off and the red light will come on to indicate the machine is heating.

Note: For Little Gem models only: When the water levelreaches the middle of thesight

glass the amber light will go out and the machine will cut out. Refill the tank and then turn the on/offswitch to the OFFposition.Wait 5 seconds and then turn theon/off switch back on, the machine will continue to fill. When the water level reaches half way on the sight glass the redlight will go out.The amber light willremain on untilthe waterreaches the correctlevel and willthen go out.

Start Up/ Daily Procedure

Turning the machine on

Warning:Do not operate the machine without water in the tank, doing so may

cause damage to the machine.

Note: The machines are fitted with a warning alarm that will sound if the tank runs

empty, if this alarm sounds when the tank is full, carefully remove and re-insert the tank and carefully press it down to ensure it is correclty positioned.

6) Wait for steam to vent from the steam tube (which will take between approximately three

and four minutes).

7) Then close the steam valve by turning the black handle clockwise until it stops.

Warning: Do not over-tighten or you will damage the seals.

Warning: Failure to vent the steam tube before steaming milk could result in the milk being

sucked into the boiler, which then becomes sour and turns brown giving an obnoxious smell and taste to new milk being heated.

8) Wait for the pressure to come up to 1.00 – 1.2 BAR.

9) Once up to pressure the red light will go off.

The machine is now ready to use.

Note: It is advisable to leave the machine to stand for about 15 minutes before making

coffee. This will enable it to warm up thoroughly and to produce coffee at the correct temperature. You can also flush water through the filter holder and group to pre-heat these parts to speed up the process.

5) Open the steam valve by turning theblack handle anti-clockwise.

Warning: Fully isolate the gas supply at the gas bottle when the machine is not in use.

Warning: The following procedure can only be done by qualified personnel.

Adjustments can only be made to increase or decrease steam pressure or to regulate low flame height.

1) Remove the drip tray, the gas regulator can be found on the right hand side of the

machine. The adjustment screws are located on the left hand side of the regulator, next to the gas inlet pipe.

2) Steam pressure should be set at 1.0 – 1.2 BAR as shown on right hand side of the

pressure gauge. Adjustment is done using a 4mm Allen key to adjust the top screw

3) When the machine is up to pressure the low flame height should be set to just burn

6mm off the top of the burner tube. Adjustment is via the bottom screw on the control valve.

8) Once steam starts to pass through the steam tube (approximately 15 minutes using

electricity or 30 minutes using gas from switching machine on) close the valve. The pressure will be then build up to 1.0 – 1.2 BAR.

The machine is now ready to use.

Adjustment

4) To ignite the burner turn the main gas regulator/isolation valve on.

5) Press the silver gas flow control valve button in and hold.

6) Press the black electronic ignitor button until a blue flame appears.

7) This can be viewed through round hole in front panel. Keep the silver gas flow button

depressed for 20 seconds to allow thermocouple to reach temperature then release slowly.

Note: To heat the machine on gas only the fuel selector switch must in the GAS position
