1) Starting the Espresso Machine

Filling the Boilers with Water

Once the installation procedures have been completed, it is
necessary to ¿ll the boiler tanks with water. Complete the following
procedure to properly ¿ll the boiler tanks:

 Coffee Boiler

The water Àows inside the coffee boiler directly, as soon as the
water system and water ¿lter/softener valves are opened.
Since the inÀow of water will compress the air in the boiler, it
will be necessary to remove or “bleed” the air from the coffee
boiler. All air must be removed in order to completely “saturate”
the coffee boiler/group assemblies.
To remove the air from the boiler, or “bleed the groups”, it will be
necessary to remove the plastic cap from the top of the group.

Loosen the bleed screws one at a time (see picture above) to
allow air to escape until water Àows from below the screw head.
Tighten the screw to stop the water from Àowing. Over tightening
can cause damage to the sealing washer and the group cover.
Repeat this procedure on all groups.

2) Waiting for the Espresso Machine to Heat to Operating
Temperature

During this time, it may happen that the pointer of the coffee boiler
pressure gauges reaches as high as 14-15 bar. This may happen
anytime that the heating element is in the “on” condition. In this
case, it is necessary to adjust the expansion valve in such a way
that the pressure never exceeds 11-12 bar. In normal operating
conditions, the coffee boiler pressure gauges can read anywhere
from 0-12 bar. When brewing, the pressure should be set to 9 bar.
When the steam boiler reaches operating temperature, the light
on the Tea dispense button will switch on.

English

 Steam Boiler

Turn the main switch to position “1” or ON, then push the encoder
knob for three seconds and the automatic steam boiler level
function will be switched on, activating the auto-¿ll solenoid
valve and the motor pump. This will ¿ll the steam boiler to a
predetermined level and will shut off when full.

Note: Air inside the steam boiler may build up pressure (which
may be detected through the pressure gauge).
Once the pump stops, check the display, the message “Coffee
Boiler Filled?” should be displayed. Push the Encoder Knob to
con¿rm that the preceding procedures are complete.
The installation is now complete and the espresso machine should
be heating to operating temperatures.

Expansion Valve

,QVWDOOLQJWKH3RUWD¿OWHUV

Install the porta¿lter(s) by inserting them into the group and rotate
the handle from left to right. When the porta¿lters are inserted
properly, you can press any of the brew buttons to start the Àow of
water through the porta¿lter. You should allow hot water to pass
through the porta¿lter(s) for a few seconds each time, in order to
pre-heat the porta¿lter.

ressure Àow through an internal valve to obtain superior cup

uality traditionally achieved with “lever” machines. Manual pre­infusion allows you to bring out different Àavor components which

Note

ome baristas suggest Àushing the group with water to remove

emaining coffee oil or particles. Some Àush after every shot.

Experimentation and practice is suggested to establish the best

ossible procedure for brewing coffee.

5)eneral Notes for Coffee Preparation

The pota¿lters must remain heated since they are partially isolated

rom the group due to the rubber gasket between them. This can be
accomplished by leaving the porta¿lters installed on the machine
when not in use. The porta¿lters may also be actively heated.
This procedure may be carried out by activating one of the brew
buttons to Àush hot water through the porta¿lter then turning off
the water Àow.

ther than the type of coffee blend being used, naturally, the size
of the coffee granules is extremely important in the preparation of
a good cup of coffee. Ideal grinding can be determined by making
various coffees using the amount of ground coffee that you would

ormally use for each cup (we recommend at least 6g). The most
uitable grinding allows coffee to Àow gradually from the ¿lter
older spout - neither too slowly, nor too quickly. A general rule is

that a double dose should dispense approximately 2 Àuid oz. of

spresso in approximately 25 seconds.

IMPORTAN

To improve Àavor, the temperature of water in the coffee boiler,
which has a direct impact on the groups, may eventually be
increased or reduced via the digital display (please consult the

oftware Programming Manual for detailed instructions).

1) Steaming Milk or Other Liquids

Dip one of the 2 steam wands (part 8, page 3) which are connected
to the steam valve, into the liquid to be heated. Turn the steam
lever on gradually until steam is released at the end of the wand.
The steam will heat the liquid and raise its temperature.
To avoid severe burns, do not allow any liquid to overÀow.

In order to successfully foam milk , please follow these steps:
 Place the pitcher that is partially ¿lled with milk under the steam
wand. Open the steam valve and bring the temperature of the milk
to nearly 149/158° F 65/70° C.
 Lower the pitcher so that the wand tip is just below the surface
of the milk; at this point, move the container up and down just
enough to dip the nozzle end in and out of the milk until you get
the right amount of foam. Gradually pour the foamed milk over
warm espresso for a fresh cup of cappuccino.

In order to prevent heated liquid from being sucked back
into the steam boiler, it is recommended that the steam
valve and steam wand be purged by opening the valve for
a few seconds to allow steam to escape from the end of
the steam wand. Failure to do so can cause heated liquid
to be transferred from the pitcher to the steam boiler (due
to a vacuum created by cooling parts). This condition is
undesirable and can contaminate the steam boiler.

5. Preparing Other Hot Drinks

English

2) Preparing Tea and Other hot Drinks.

You may dispense hot water by using the ¿xed nozzle (part 10,
page 3). To dispense hot water, press the tea water button.

This button commands hot water delivery.
The temperature of the water may be adjusted by adjusting the
mixing valve.
