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 need.
● 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 3 - 4 or push-button panel 5 according to your model (Fig.8).
- When the coffee has been poured, leave filter-holder in the group head until it's time to produce another coffee.
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.
Model L (Fig.8)
Espresso machine with mechanical groups and fixed dosing. Pull down on the group control lever (4C).
Wait for coffee to begin to pour into the cup: Release the lever and let it lift up by itself.
To make 2 coffees, repeat this operation for the second time.
CAUTION: do not pull down on the lever if there is no coffee in the filter-holder.
8.2. Preparing cappuccino (Fig.9)
● 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

9. ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING OF THE DOSE
9.1. Model E (Fig.8)
With the Model E it is possible to programme the buttons to dispense a set amount of coffee and hot water (if this function is enabled).
9.1.1. Adjusting the dose
The quantity of coffee and hot water dispensed can be adjusted using the push-button panel or the hot water controls.
1 Press the button E on the left push-button panel and hold it down for 8-10 seconds until water stops flowing from the group head and the LED light of the first button on the left begins flashing.
2 It is necessary to act as to make 1 or 2 cups in order to reach the correct coffee amount adjustment in the cup.
3 Put the filter-holder (containing ground coffee) into the left group head and place a cup under the spout.
4 Press the button you would like to programme (i.e. button A for one small cup).
5 Once the desired amount of coffee has been poured, press the button A to stop the flow of coffee. The machine will save this quantity.
6 Pressing the button E again, the LED light will turn off and the machine will store the new quantity.
7 Make a coffee by using the button you programmed and be sure the system stored the correct parameter.
If some doses have to be changed (A-B-C-D), once at point 5 repeat steps 3-4-5 for each dose. Remember to use the correct filter-holder with relevant filter and be sure to use freshly ground coffee. Then carry out point 6 and repeat point 7 to check all changed doses.
If all group heads are to be programmed with the same doses, the programming of coffee doses is finished. If the dosage of another group heads is to be changed (1-2-3-4 doses), proceed as indicated in the above-mentioned point 1-7, Use the push-button panel of the corresponding group head to programme.
9.1.2. Adjusting the quantity of hot water
Proceed as follows:
- Press and hold the button E of any push-button panel, for 8-10 seconds until water stops flowing from the group head and the LED of the button E on the left group head's push-button panel starts flashing. The machine is now ready to accept quantity variations.
- Put a cup or jug beneath the water spout (Fig. 3).
- Push the hot water button (5B).
- Once the desired quantity of water has been delivered, press the hot water button (5B) again. Water will stop pouring and the quantity will be saved.
- Once programmed, press the button E again and the LED will go out and the machine will store the new quantity.
- Double check that programming is correct by producing a hot water drink.

10. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS ELECTRONIC BOARD E06
10.1. Boiler pressure regulation from push-button panel
With the board E06 it is possible to regulate the boiler pressure directly from the push-button panel, eliminating the need for a technician to open the machine and change the electronics internally.
This is possible thanks to an electronic pressure transducer that detects heater pressure in real time.
To enter the regulation menu proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine.
- While holding down the button E of the first group turn the machine on (fig. 8).
- Buttons A and B will light up to indicate 1 bar (the default setting) of pressure.
In this menu, only buttons A, B, C, D (fig. 8) of the first group are active with the following functions:
A = Button + (pressure increase with 0.1-bar step).
B = Button - (pressure decrease with 0.1-bar step).
C = 1 bar (factory set at 1 bar).
D = ESC (regulation save and exit from menu).
To increase pressure
Press button A, considering that each time it is pressed, heater pressure increases by 0.1-bar step up to a maximum 1.4 bars.
Pressure increases instantly (regulation visible by means of boiler pressure gauge).
To decrease pressure
Press B, considering that each time it is pressed pressure decreases in real time by 0.1 bar step to a maximum of 0.6 bars.
Opening the steam head, the new pressure regulation can be assessed immediately by means of the heater pressure gauge.
Buttons A and B flash to indicate setting of Boiler pressure as follows:
| LEDBUTTON A | LEDBUTTON B | PRESSURE[bar] |
| ON 4 flashes 0.6 | ||
| ON 3 flashes 0.7 | ||
| ON 2 flashes 0.8 | ||
| ON 1 flash 0.9 | ||
| ON ON | 1.0 | |
| 1 flash | ON | 1.1 |
| 2 flashes | ON | 1.2 |
| 3 flashes | ON | 1.3 |
| 4 flashes | ON | 1.4 |
By pressing button C, the machine returns to the default factory setting of 1-bar of pressure.
After having regulated the desired pressure, press button D to save the setting and quit the menu.
ATTENTION: during programming, water dispensing is interrupted while boiler pressure control is in use.
10.2. Auto-test components
The electronic board E06 enables technicians to individually test and verify the operation of all electronic components of the machine.
In order to utilise this function it is necessary to enter the electronic board by dismantling the left panel of the machine (a descriptive label of the auto-test function is attached to the inside of the panel).
The sequence is guided by means of the display at the centre of the electronic board.
Since the auto-test is conducted with machine open, be careful not to touch any live part.
To enter the auto-test menu proceed as follows:
- Switch off the machine.
- Push and hold button A of the first group's push-button panel (fig. 8) and turn on the machine.
- Buttons A, B, C and D (fig. 8) light up and the board display indicates 0 (auto-test menu in operation).
In this menu only buttons A, B, C, D of the first group operate with the following functions:
A = Button + (increases the number/letter corresponding to the component to be activated).
B =Button - (decreases the number/letter corresponding to the component to be activated).
C = Enter (component activation).
D = ESC (quit component activation).
During activation of the component, the display point will flash.
Each value indicated on the display corresponds to the auto-test of the following components:
0 = auto-test ON
1 = electro-valve group 1 (ON for 3 seconds)
2 = electro-valve group 2 (ON for 3 seconds) (*)
3 = electro-valve group 3 (ON for 3 seconds) (*)
4 = electro-valve hot water supply
(ON for 3 seconds) (*)
5 = electro-valve charge (ON for 3 seconds)
6 = pump motor (ON for 3 seconds)
7 = 1st heating element (ON for 5 seconds) (**)
8 = 2nd heating element (ON for 5 seconds) (**)
9 = 3rd heating element (ON for 5 seconds) (**)
A = push-button panel/LED (pressing each button, the corresponding LED flashes)
B = volumetric meter group 1 (100-pulse supply)
C = volumetric meter group 2 (100-pulse supply) (*)
D = volumetric meter group 3 (100-pulse supply) (*)
E = heater level (water charge if level is not sufficient)
F = pressure transducer (heating element ON until boiler pressure set-point is reached)
(*) Only for predisposed machines.
(**) Only for machines with star resistance connection.
Some of the auto-test operations involve the dispensing of hot water and steam; take care in order to avoid possible burns.
Push buttons A or B (fig. 8) to scroll through display numbers and letters. Once you reach the desired letter or number (component you wish to control) press button C to activate.
Button D stops activation of the component.
To quit auto-test menu switch off the machine then switch on again.
Note: Press esc to quit operations A, E and F During auto-test, brewing will be interrupted and the boiler will not be filled (except for test F).
10.3. Diagnostic programming
Electronic card E 06 allows the operation of diagnostic programming with which possible machine failures or malfunctions can be signalled.
In order to utilise this function it is necessary to access the electronic card by dismantling the left panel of the machine (a descriptive label of the auto-test function is attached to the inside of the panel).
As the use of diagnostic programming is conducted with the machine open, be careful not to touch any live parts.
Malfunctions are shown on the display situated at the centre of the electronic board.
Failures are indicated on the electronic board display by means of numbers or letters. If there is more than one failure, they are displayed one after the other.
1 = Time-out boiler filling level: time limit for correct boiler filling has been exceeded.
2 = Time-out boiler pressure set-point: the time limit to reach boiler pressure set-point has been exceeded
3 = Electronic board E06 12Vdc short: short circuit in the electronic board E06
4 = Capacity level sensor 12Vdc short: capacity level sensor supply has short-circuited. (*).
5 = Pressure transducer 12Vdc short: pressure transducer supply has short-circuited.
6 = Volumetric counter 12Vdc short: short circuit on the supply of volumetric counters.
7 = 5Vdc push-button panel short: the push-button panel has short-circuited.
8 = Transducer/probe short on output signal: short circuit on output signal from the pressure temperature probe / transducer.
9 = Open transducer/probe signal: the output signal from the temperature probe/transducer has been interrupted.
A = Absence of volumetric counter impulses group 1: the volumetric counter of the first group is not transmitting impulses to the electronic board.
B = Absence of volumetric counter impulses group 2: the volumetric counter of the second group is not transmitting impulses to the electronic board (*).
C = Absence of volumetric counter impulses group 3: the volumetric counter of the third group is not transmitting impulses to the electronic board (*).
