Machine operation

6.1

Machine start-up

Turn the machine on using the main switch of
the machine (12).
Before using the machine, wait for a short time
(about 10 min.) until the gauge (11) indicates the
correct working pressure (1-1.2 bars)
The flashing of the led (13) indicates the follow-
ing problems:
• slow flashing: lack of water in the tank or the tank
absence;
• rapid flashing: boiler load time out (it was exceed-
ed the estimated time to upload). Check for the
presence of water in the tank, possibly requiring
the intervention of technical assistance.

• During the machine's warm-up phase (roughly
20 minutes), the negative pressure valve will
release steam for a few seconds until the valve
itself closes;
!
• before using the machine, run deliveries dry
with the filter holder attached for a few seconds
to release any air which may be in the circuit, so
that the delivery groups are completely heated;
• before using the machine, dispense a few
servings of coffee to test the grinding and to
check the operating pressure of the machine.
6.2

It is important to have a dosing-grinding device
next to the machine with which to grind the coffee

to keep large stocks of coffee grains. Observe the
expiry date indicated by the producer.

ground as it expires quickly. if necessary, to buy
it in small vacuum-sealed packages.

• Fill the filter with
a dose of ground
coffee (circa 6-7 gr.)
and press it with
the press;
• hook the filter-
holder to the unit
without closing it
too tightly in order
to avoid excessive
wear of the gasket;
