HEATING SOURCE
An electric heating element warms the water
in the boiler.
ELECTRIC PUMP
This component is to increase the water
pressure to the correct water pressure needed
for espresso coffee preparation which is
9 bar.
STEAM WAND
This wand delivers hot steam for milk
frothing and steaming of drinks in jugs (tea,
chocolates, etc.)
HOT-WATER TAP
This delivers hot water.
CONTROL & MONITORING DEVICES
Pressure gauge
Indicates the boiler pressure and the
working pressure of the pump.
Pressure switch
This is used to keep the boiler water
temperature constant by controlling the
heating elements, based on the boiler
pressure.
Automatic Boiler
Water Level Control: Electronic circuitry
used to keep the boiler water
level constant.
HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
The hydraulic diagram shows that the
water used for the preparation of coffee
comes directly from the fresh water tank
and is heated in the heat exchanger
inside the boiler.
Electric Diagram
The machine is connected to the electric mains by a supply cable.
As shown on the electric diagram there are two circuits:
- A feeding circuit for electric components (solenoid valves, pump
motor, electronic control panel.

Steam Delivery
To prepare steamed hot-drinks, introduce the steam wand into the jug which contains the
drink to be steamed, and then rotate the knob CCW until the drink reaches the requested
temperature. You may need to use an immersion-type thermometer to check
temperature for higher accuracy.
WARNING: though the boiler is tted with
a vacuum-release valve, please always
open the steam valve BEFORE introducing it
into the drink to be warmed up, to prevent
possible back ows inside the boiler.
10
Milk Frothing Techniques
Considering that the Buttery A/1 has a limited steam capacity(compared to the bigger
units), the steam wand is tted with a limited-size 4 hold steam tip to extend the steaming
time, rather than the steaming ow-rate. In this way, the machine heating element can
produce a faster steam pressure recovery. For the rst frothing experiences, the use of a
small thermometer is recommended in order to avoid the excessive heating of the milk.
A few basic rules:
1. Milk should always be a “whole” product
2. Milk should always be cold (just out from fridge).
3. The steam tip should be introduced by 1-2 cm approx.
4. The steam arm should be tilting in such a way that the
steamjets impress a rotary push to the milk, while in taking
some air from the top.
5. Pressure valve knob should be opened proportionally to
the frothing results.
WARNING: Risk of burning!
Handle containers and jugs
with care when steaming drinks.
WARNING: Risk of burning
Keep hands away from areas
covered by hot-water outlet.
Use relevant control knob ONLY
AFTER drink container has been
appropriately placed on the
drip try.
Hot Water Delivery
To deliver hot water into a jug, pot or cup,
rotate the knob CCW until reaching the required
quantity. Delivered water is taken from boiler.
11
Coffee-Dose Setting
With reference to picture below:
1. Prepare and ll lter holder in due time with 9 grams perfectly-ground coffee and
attach it to the brewing group. Place the appropriate cup(s) under the lter
holder spout(s).
2. Push and hold the “star” key pressed for a few seconds until LED’s on touch-pad are
switched ON to enter in the programming mode.
3. Push the key related to the selected dose: the relevant LED switches ON.
4. Push the same key again when the correct quantity of coffee is reached: the relevant
LED switches OFF.
5. Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 operation for dose setting of remaining does keys.
NOTE: The programming operation between a key and the
other has to be completed within 10 seconds; otherwise the
programming mode will automatically switch OFF. In this
case repeat step 1, and continue programming of next dose.
Once out from the programming mode, the “star” key allows
the manually-controlled coffee delivery (short touch).
