The machine is carried in a pallet further more
machinery is inside cardboard boxes connected
to the pallet by frameworks.
Before starting any operation of transport and
movement, the operator has to:

•

Wear safety gloves, shoes and an overall with
elastic bands at the ends. The pallet transport

MAKING COFFEE

1_Take off the filter holder with a movement
from right to left. In the equipment there are
two filters (a bigger and a smaller one) and
two spouts ( a single and a double one). The
bigger filter will be used, together with the
double spout, for two coffees, while the
smaller filter together with the single spout,
will be used to make one coffee. The filter
holder spring must be inserted in the filter
holder.

For one coffee you will use the smaller filter filled
with a single measure from the measuring
spoon, for two coffees you will use the bigger
filter instead, filled with two measures of the
measuring spoon. Press the coffee with the small
press, then hook safely the filter holder with a
movement from left to right.
2_Place one or two cups in correspondence with
the exits of the filter holder and press the switch
for coffee supply; once you have the desired
quantity, press the on/off switch for coffee
supply .

USE OF THE VAPORISER

Warning. Very important

When finished using the vaporiser, put the
thermostat knob back into the coffee position

and press the switch for coffee supply until

some water comes out from the machine.

ADVICE:

Before using the machine, always check that
there is enough water in the container. After
