Frequently Asked Questions - Classe 8 DE RANCILIO

How to clean my Rancilio Classe 8 DE machine?

Perform daily cleaning of the steam wands and group with a clean, damp cloth. For deep cleaning, use a specific cleaning product for professional espresso machines.

How to descale the machine?

Use a descaling solution recommended by Rancilio. Follow the manufacturer's instructions: fill the reservoir, start a descaling cycle, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. The recommended frequency is every 3 months depending on use.

What type of water to use?

Use filtered or demineralized water to avoid scaling. Water that is too hard can damage the machine. The ideal hardness is 50 to 100 ppm.

The steam wand does not work, what to do?

Check that the wand is not blocked. Clean it with a fine needle. Make sure the steam selector is correctly positioned and that the boiler has reached pressure. If the problem persists, contact a technician.

How to program espresso doses?

Access the programming menu via the display. Select the desired group, place a portafilter with ground coffee, then press and hold the dose button until the desired volume is reached. Release to save.

The machine does not heat up, what to do?

Check the power supply and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Make sure the machine is turned on and that the thermostat is not faulty. If an error message appears, consult the manual or call a professional.

Water is leaking under the machine, why?

A leak may come from a worn seal or a loose fitting. Check the hose connections and the group seal. If the leak persists, stop the machine and contact a technical service.

What do the displayed error codes mean?

Error codes vary by model. The most common: E01 (temperature sensor failure), E02 (pressure problem). Consult the manual for the exact meaning. If in doubt, unplug the machine for 10 minutes then plug it back in.

What is the warranty of the machine?

The manufacturer's warranty is generally 2 years (parts and labor) for normal use. Warranty may be extended under certain conditions. Keep the purchase receipt.

8. USE

WATER CHANGES: at the start of each daily activity and anyway always after machine stop periods longer than 8 hours, it is necessary to change 100% of the water contained in the circuits via the points appropriately provided on the machine for the purpose.

USING THE STEAM WAND: Before using the steam wand, it is always necessary to flush out all the residual steam condensate for at least 2 minutes.

The machine has a top shelf on which the cups are kept and heated, ready for use.

This is very important to obtain good coffee as the pre-warmed cup stops the coffee from growing cold too quickly.

8.1. Preparing coffee

• Remove the filter-holder from the group head and knock out any grounds into a knock box. Be careful not to damage the rim of the filter.
• Use the filter for 1 or 2 coffees, according to your needs.
• Fill the filter with the measure of coffee, level it off and press it down gently with the tamper.
• Remove any ground coffee that has stuck to the rim of the filter during tamping..

If ground coffee is left on the rim of the filter, the filter-holder will not seal properly in the group head, and during coffee production, water or coffee grounds may leak into the cup.

• Lock the filter-holder into the group head firmly to obtain a leaktight seal.
• Place the cups under the spouts and start pouring using control 4 or push-button panel 5 according to your model (Fig.7).
• When the coffee has been poured, leave filter-holder in the group head until it's time to produce another coffee.

When pouring beware of the hot parts of the machine especially the group heads, the steam wand and the hot water spout. Do not put your hands under the group heads, water spout, or steam wand when they are ation.

Great tasting espresso begins with proper grinding. High quality espresso shots should take an average of 25-30 seconds to produce.

If the coffee is ground too coarsely, the espresso will be pale in color and weak in flavor, with only a very small amount of crema. If coffee is ground too fine, it will be dark in color and have no crema. Another important factor to consider is the freshness of your coffee beans. Good espresso can only be made if your beans are freshly and uniformly ground. The grinder blades should be sharp and the dosing mechanism of your grinder should be adjusted so that it measures approximately 6 grams per pull. It is important to grind your coffee fresh each time you produce an espresso because once the beans are ground they rapidly lose their aromatic qualities and the oils in the beans begin to go rancid.

8.2. Preparing cappuccino (Fig.8)

● Pour an espresso in your cappuccino cup.
- Use a tall and narrow jug, fill it half-way with fresh milk.
- Place the jug under the spout so that the nozzle touches the bottom.
● Turn on the steam knob and lower the jug so that the nozzle is almost at the surface of the milk to create froth.
● Turn off the steam knob and pour the milk into the cup.

Immediately after carrying out this operation, clean the wand with a sponge or a clean cloth so that the milk does not dry on it. Be careful as the wand is hot and may burn your hand.

8.3. Heating a beverage
