3 Document Scope – Caveats and Clarifications
This manual includes material that both duplicates and enhances the official LaSpaziale S1 Mini Vivaldi Instruction Manual in key areas. However, it does not duplicate the detailed and very important information covering machine certifications or ratings nor does it repeat all the warning and safety information contained on the “lawyer” pages. That information, as contained in LaSpaziale Instruction Manual Part # LSC 014-UK Rev.00 or later, is considered included in this document by reference.
The official LaSpaziale S1 Mini Manual covers the Mini Vivaldi I and the Mini Vivaldi II plus one option not currently offered or required in the consumer market. That option, as well as material intended specifically for the Mini Vivaldi I, has been omitted from this document.
This document solely covers the S1 Mini Vivaldi II plus options available and supported by Chris Coffee Service and/or other vendors supplied by Chris Coffee Service through its exclusive distribution agreements with La Spaziale S.p.A.
4 Basic Machine Operation
(BOLD = lamps, Reverse = buttons, numbers in parentheses reference to above table)
4.1 15 Amp or 20 Amp Operation (READ ME FIRST)
Please read this section first, especially if you purchased the 20A version of the LaSpaziale VII Mini but do not currently have an available 20A outlet.
The LaSpaziale Mini VII can be purchased in 15A and 20A versions. In actuality, they are both identical machines. There is an internal switch that selects the operating mode and they have different power cords installed. The power cord is the easiest way to tell which version you have. The 15A Mini VII has a standard 3-prong AC plug with two parallel blades and a round ground pin. The 20A Mini VII has a 3-prong plug with two
Page 4
perpendicular blades and a round ground pin. The 20A version therefore requires a 20A circuit which has a special 20A outlet which accepts the 20A plug.
Most modern kitchens have 20A circuits. However, they often do not use 20A outlets because multiple outlets may be on the same 20A circuit. If you have a 20A circuit with a 20A outlet this most likely means that outlet has its own dedicated 20A circuit and is safe to use with the Mini VII. A 20A circuit with normal 15A outlets probably means that multiple kitchen outlets are on the one 20A circuit. Often this means the refrigerator outlet. 20A Mini VII owners should contact their electrician if unsure how to proceed.
The internal switch which places the Mini VII in 15A mode does so by never allowing the group boiler and the steam boiler to operate at the same time. When the thermostats for both boilers try to turn on at the same time, the group boiler always has precedence, and then the steam boiler operates in sequential fashion. A number of 15A Mini VII owners note that they see little operational effect when running in this mode.
The 20A Mini VII allows both boilers to operate simultaneously. HOWEVER, it is possible to place the 20A Mini VII into 15A mode by removing the top cover from the machine and flipping the internal 20A/15A mode switch. This is often referred to as “Economy Mode”.
Economy mode is a great option for those that really want the 20A machine but that do not currently have a 20A circuit. In addition to flipping the mode switch from 20A to 15A operation, this will require swapping out your standard 15A outlet with a 20A outlet. These are readily available from most hardware stores. For a more temporary solution there is an alternative such as this adapter cable available from Chris Coffee Service:
http://www.chriscoffee.com/products/home/espressoaccs/20t015adaptorplug. It is also
available elsewhere or you can make your own with a quick trip to your local hardware store.
Note: new machines use a dual Solid State Relay (SSR) rather than the triac.
4.2 Optional On/Off Timer Accessory – Overview and WARNING
The S1V2 has an optional On/Off Timer that can be purchased which provides the capability for up to 3 On/Off cycles per day with a different program for all 7 days of the
Page 5
week, if so desired. Each new machine has the cable needed to plug this timer into cable tied into place just behind the front panel. More information including the installation manual can be found here:
http://s1cafe.com/s1v2/images/Vivaldi%20Timer%20Instructions.pdf
There is a switch labeled ON / OFF on top of the controller box adjacent to the 15A/20A switch . This switch must be set to OFF if you do not have the Timer plugged in and it must be set to ON when the timer is installed. Also, the state of this switch is only sensed when the power cable is unplugged, then plugged back in. So if you need to change this switch you will need to unplug the machine for at least 5 seconds after you do so.
WARNING: If you do NOT have the Timer installed but you have the switch set to ON, the pump will not come on when you try to pull a shot.
4.3 Initial Installation Before Connecting Power
After removing the Mini VII from its packing carton and setting it on the counter, check for additional installation instructions that may be included. You should also have all the accessories shown in the photo below plus a rubber backflush disk (not shown).
Tip the Mini VII on its side. Twist all four rubber feet (3) hand tight as they may vibrate loose during shipping. While performing that task, use a screwdriver to ensure that the four screws on the bottom (two on each side between the rubber feet) which fasten the two side panels (5) to the chassis bottom are tight. These steps will help ensure the quietest possible operation of your Mini VII.
Important Tip: Your Mini VII dealer may request that you check that your water hardness is below a certain level to ensure long life and trouble free operation. Hardness test strips may be included for this purpose. If your water fails this
Page 6
test, contact your Mini VII dealer and discuss the available options. This test should be done before using your machine. Water over 3 grains of hardness needs to be softened or else consider using bottle water. Hard water will require frequent descaling which is not a trivial procedure on this machine. Over time use of very hard water could result in the need to replace the steam boiler heater element. Since the VII Mini has a sealed boiler, replacement of the entire boiler is required. This is not an inexpensive repair. Be forewarned. Use soft water.
4.4 Filling the Water Tank
1) Remove the drip tray (1)
2) Remove the water tank (4) and fill with soft water to ensure against mineral buildup in your boilers
3) Replace the water tank (4) and the drip tray (1)
4) Insert the plug into the 110V AC socket, the On/STBY light (22) starts flashing. (Stand-by mode).
5) Press the ON / OFF (27) and Hot Water (23) buttons simultaneously. During this stage, the control lights EMPTY and On/STBY (22) blink while the pump runs
6) Once you see water coming from the group (10), release both buttons. The unit is now in Standby mode with the On/STBY light blinking. You have now primed the pump and filled both boilers with water.
Important Tip: The above procedure is only required on the initial use of the machine or any time when starting up with empty boilers such as after storage, boiler clean out, shipment, etc. or any time the boilers have previously been drained. Otherwise, once this procedure is performed once, it is only necessary to turn the machine on using the ON / OFF (27) button. It is NOT required to perform the above procedure each time the water tank is refilled.

4.5 Turning On and Heating the Machine
1) Place the desired coffee basket (Single or Double) into one of the portafilter handles and attach it to the group.
2) Insert the plug into the 110V AC socket, the On/STBY light (22) starts flashing. (Stand-by mode).
3) Press the ON / OFF (27) and button and keep it pressed for about 3 seconds, the green On/STBY light (22) changes from flashing to steady indicating the machine is ON. At the same time the lights from (14) to (21) turn on steadily for about a second (indicating power on test mode).
4) The light corresponding to the set temperature starts flashing to indicate that the group is heating and the automatic boiler refill starts until the water level preset by the manufacturer is reached.
5) Once the filling process is finished, the BOILER light (13) starts flashing to indicate that the boiler is heating. However, after first switching on, the boiler doesn't work until the group has reached the set temperature.
6) Fasten the portafilter handle (11) to the brewing group (10).
7) Wait until the set temperature is reached, by checking that the lights on the control panel (9) gradually turn on as the temperature rises. The visualization starts as soon as the temperature reaches 91°C (turning on of light 14) and
