NOTE: The machine may time out during the filling, this will be indicated by a buzzer
and a “!” symbol on the display, turn the machine off using the mains on/off rocker switch,
wait 5seconds and turn on again - the machine will continue of fill.
NOTE: For installation instructions, refer to the Installation Manual supplied
with the machine

5. The steam boiler temperature is indicated on the right hand side of the display. It is good practice
to open the steam valve by turning clockwise when the steam boiler is heating, this can be closed
when steam starts to appear from the steam tube. The steam pressure will build until it
reaches 1-1.2Bar.

6. It is advisable to leave the machine with the filer holders inserted in the groups for 10-15 minutes
to allow the groups to get hot and stabilize their temperature.
