Frequently Asked Questions - RITUALE ISOMAC

How to turn on the RITUALE machine?

Fill the tank with clean water, plug in the machine, press the main switch (1). The heating indicator (12) lights up. Raise the coffee lever (6) to let water flow, then lower it to fill the boiler. Wait 3 to 4 minutes for the coffee indicator (11) to light up, indicating the machine is under pressure.

How to prepare an espresso?

Ensure the machine is under pressure. Fill the portafilter with ground coffee, tamp lightly with the tamper. Insert the portafilter into the dispensing group and turn from left to right to lock it. Place one or two cups under the portafilter, then raise the coffee lever (6). Lower the lever when the desired amount is reached.

How to dispense hot water?

Check that the machine is under pressure. Place a container under the hot water wand (7). Turn the tap handle counterclockwise. Water at about 95°C flows out. Close the tap by turning clockwise once the desired amount is obtained.

How to use steam for a cappuccino?

Ensure the machine is under pressure. Fill a tall, narrow container half full with milk. Immerse the steam wand (8) about 1 cm into the milk. Open the steam tap by turning the handle counterclockwise to froth the milk. Close the tap once foam is obtained.

What to do if the machine does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the main switch (1) is pressed. If the machine still does not turn on, check the water tank: a safety microswitch stops the machine in case of water shortage. Fill the tank, then turn the machine off and on again.

How to clean the machine?

Before any cleaning, unplug the machine or turn off the main switch. Clean the water tank periodically and change the water frequently. Wash the filters with hot water to remove coffee residues. Clean the drip tray and grid with hot water. Wipe the steam wand to prevent blockages. Use a damp cloth for external parts, then dry.

How often should I change the water in the tank?

It is recommended to change the water in the tank daily, especially if the machine is used regularly. If the machine is used occasionally, change the water before each use to ensure fresh coffee.

What to do if steam does not come out properly?

Check that the water tank is full and the machine is under pressure. If the steam wand is clogged, clean it with a damp cloth after it has cooled. If the problem persists, consult a qualified assistance center.

How to descale the machine?

The manual does not mention a specific descaling procedure. To preserve the machine, use low-limescale water and clean the tank regularly. If needed, contact an authorized assistance center.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts are available from the manufacturer ISOMAC and its authorized assistance centers. For any order, contact after-sales service or visit the official website.
