Frequently Asked Questions - F4eco F4ecoByJohn Fiorenzato

How do I start my Fiorenzato F4eco machine for the first time?

Fill the water tank and bean hopper, then press the on/off button. Wait for the machine to heat up (about 10 minutes) before using steam or hot water.

What to do if the machine does not heat up?

Check that the water tank is correctly installed and the machine is on. If the heating light flashes, wait a few minutes. If the problem persists, contact Fiorenzato after-sales service.

How to adjust the grind fineness?

Turn the adjustment knob on the grinder. For espresso, use a fine grind. Adjust gradually to avoid clogging the grinder.

Why is my coffee too bitter?

A grind that is too fine or an excessive dose can make coffee bitter. Try reducing the dose or coarsening the grind. Also check that the steam wand is clean.

How to clean the steam wand?

After each use, purge the wand by activating steam for a few seconds. Clean it with a damp cloth. For deeper maintenance, disassemble the tip and soak it in warm soapy water.

How often should I descale my machine?

Use a descaling product every 3 months, or as soon as the descaling light comes on. Follow the manual instructions for the automatic descaling cycle.

The water tank is leaking, what to do?

Check that the tank is properly engaged. Inspect the seals; if damaged, replace them via Fiorenzato after-sales service.

Can I use ground coffee instead of beans?

This model is designed for whole bean coffee. Using ground coffee is not recommended as it could damage the grinder.

How to turn off the machine completely?

Press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds. The machine will turn off and the light will go out. Unplug it if you are leaving for several days.

INTRODUCTION

Making coffee is an art. Precise rules need to be followed in order to succeed. The formula for a perfect cup of expresso coffee involves various steps and the coffee machine plays a very important role. For a successful result and unquestionable quality, it is necessary to correctly combine three factors:

• A high-quality blend.
- The appropriate use of available appliances.
- The skill and professionalism of the person who makes it. Contrary to belief, to enjoy a good cup of coffee, it is not enough to choose the right blend.

The operator's experience and skills in following the right procedures for making a coffee and the use of suitable appliances strongly influence the creation of a small masterpiece. Therefore, professionals place crucial importance on the espresso machine and grinder-doser. Knowing how to use these appliances well, maintaining them in perfect working order and using them at their best, is a skill belonging to professional coffee makers. The quality of a good espresso coffee comes from a series of operations, including grinding which plays an important role. Therefore, for the operator, the grinder-doser is one of the fundamental appliances, whose structure must meet certain characteristics of sturdiness, resistance and functionality.

USE

This grinder-doser has been designed solely for grinding coffee beans. Any other use must be understood as improper, and consequently hazardous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage as a result of improper or incorrect use. Do not use the grinder-doser for grinding other types of food, or anything else. The grinder-dosers and coffee grinders manufactured by our company are intended for skilled personnel for professional use only, not for household use.

WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The grinder-doser must be installed by skilled technical personnel in compliance with the safety regulations in force. Incorrect installation may result in injury to people, animals or things, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

• The grinder-doser must be placed on a stable, flat surface.
• Before plugging in the grinder-doser, make sure the voltage and frequency values of the supply mains correspond to the ratings indicated on the label featuring the grinder-doser technical data.
• The wall socket must be fitted with an efficient earth contact. Consequently, it is essential to make sure the earth system is efficient and in conformity with current safety regulations. If in any doubt, have the system thoroughly checked by personnel with the appropriate professional skills.
• It is compulsory to earth the grinder-doser. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the event of non-observance of this regulation.
• It is essential to make sure the ratings of the system are suitable for the power absorbed by the grinder-doser (as indicated on the label featuring the technical data) and that the wall socket is protected against over currents.
• Do not use extension cables, plug adapters for multiple sockets or makeshift connections.
• The motor must rotate clockwise. If the rotation of three-phase motors is to be inverted,

by inverting the two power supply wires inside the plug, this must be carried out by skilled personnel.

OPERATING THE GRINDER-DOSER Preliminaries

Make sure the hopper is positioned correctly on the coffee grinder-doser and is fastened to the upper grinding blade holder by means of the relevant screw. Close the locking slide and fill the hopper with coffee beans. Open the locking slide so that the beans are allowed to drop into the grinding system.

Switching on and off

On: set the switch to 1.

Off: set the switch to 0.

ADJUSTING GRINDING

In order to achieve finer or coarser grinding and therefore vary the granulometry, use the adjustment disk located under the hopper. To increase the coarseness of the ground coffee, the adjustment disk must be rotated clockwise, pressing the adjustment disk lock downwards, to decrease turn the disk anticlockwise. The adjustment must be performed with the motor on, and possibly without coffee between the grinding blades.

It is advisable to grind small amounts of coffee to facilitate a visual check of optimum granulometry and, if required, adjust the grinding adjustment disk. If the coffee comes out of the espresso coffee machine very quickly, it means

that the coffee is ground too coarse. Vice versa, if it comes out too slowly, it means the coffee is ground too fine. Nonetheless, bear in mind that there are many conditions liable to influence the correct supply, such as the weight of the portions, the compacting, the espresso machine settings and the cleaning of the filters.

COFFEE DOSE ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the dose, press the luminous blue button positioned on the left of the grinder-doser. To set the seconds for dispensing the dose, keep this button pressed: each time the button flashes this corresponds to one second of grinding. When the button is released, the seconds set are stored in the memory. Successful memorization is confirmed when the button flashes quickly several times.

OPERATING THE GRINDER-DOSER

To dispense a dose of coffee, press the luminous blue button positioned on the left of the grinder-doser once. It will start to dispense for the number of seconds set. When dispensing, the button flashes. Each flash corresponds to one second of grinding.

F4 eco By John

To dispense the coffee, press the filter holder fork against the microswitch positioned above the filter holder fork. To stop dispensing, move the filter holder fork away from the microswitch.

SAFETY DEVICES

Thermal overload protection

The grinder-doser motor is protected against overheating resulting from overcurrents by a thermal overload protection which, when tripped, cuts off the power supply to the motor. If the thermal protection device should automatically turn on in the event of anomalous operation (such as the grinding blades jamming), turn off grinder-doser using the On-Off switch, unplug it from the mains, and contact skilled technical personnel. Never perform any work on the grinder-doser while it is attached to the mains, in order to prevent the motor from turning on suddenly. If the grinder-doser overheats as a result of the motor stopping, allow the grinder-doser to cool down before performing any repair work.

Coffee outlet guard

The coffee outlet guard must always be fixed to the doser unit using the relevant screws, which must never be removed by the user. The removal of the coffee outlet guard can be done by skilled technical personnel only after disconnecting the grinder-doser from the power supply by unplugging. Before reconnecting the grinder-doser to the power supply, replace the safety device.

NOISE LEVEL

EEC Countries - The maximum noise emission of our coffee grinders and grinders/dosers measured in UNI EN ISO 3741 reverberating chamber in compliance with the EN 60704-1 regulations, is compliant with the EN 60704-1 : 1998 and EN 607043 : 1996 regulations. The equivalent level of noise exposure of a worker, exclusively related to limit of 240 min. per eight hours of use of the appliance, is equal to 78 dB(A), in compliance with ED 86/188/EEC and ED 200311 0/EEC. Therefore, when operating the appliance, no provisions need to be taken in order to prevent such risks arising from noise exposure in the workplace (articles 3-8 of ED 2003/10/EEC).

MAINTENANCE

It is essential to periodically check the state of the supply cable and plug. In the event the supply cable or plug are damaged, call in skilled technical personnel to replace them, in order to prevent any risk. In CE-certified appliances a special tool is required to open the base plate to access the cable. We recommend using original spare parts only. In order to assure the lasting efficiency of the appliance, skilled technical personnel must be called in to perform periodical maintenance, including detailed checks of the state of those components subject to wear. The state of the grinding blades must be checked periodically. Keeping the grinding blades in an excellent state assures high-quality grinding, resulting in greater productivity and limited overheating.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Disconnect the power supply from the grinder-doser by unplugging it before cleaning. The appliance must not be cleaned using water jets. Do not install the grinder-doser in rooms where water jets are used for cleaning. The grinder-doser must be cleaned periodically by skilled technical personnel only. Use perfectly clean, disinfected cloths or brushes for cleaning. Do not use abrasive products as these are liable to take the sheen off shiny parts.

Hopper

Wash the hopper once it has been removed from the appliance (unscrewing the relevant fastening screw), using neutral soap and water, rinse abundantly with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly. It is advisable to clean the hopper periodically. Once the hopper has been cleaned, it must be attached to the upper grinding blade holder using the relevant screw.

Grinding system

Remove the safety screw which prevents the adjustment disk from being removed. Unscrew the adjustment disk by turning it clockwise. Having removed the upper grinding blade holder, clean the grinding blades, the threads and the entire grinding system thoroughly using a clean brush and cloth. Having refitted the upper grinding blade holder in the relevant slot, screw the adjustment disk back on, and after refitting and securing the hopper adjust the grinding as required.
