f) After these operations wait for the reaching of the temperature to brew a coffee, light (17) on.

N.B.: the warning light of the reaching of the right temperature will continue to go out and to light up automatically during the heating period.

After having lighted the machine, for the first coffee, wait for the right thermic balance, after 8 – 10 minutes.

6 - COFFEE PREPARATION

In order to obtain an excellent espresso coffee, it is important to use a top quality blended coffee, properly roasted and ground; grinding is correct when the coffee delivery time is between 15-18 seconds for one serving and between 30-35 seconds for two servings. The coffee should be grinded at the time of use. Once ground, the coffee loses its flavour within a short time; if the grinding is too coarse you will obtain light-coloured and weak coffee, without froth; if the grinding is too fine you will obtain dark and strong coffee, with little froth.

Once you have placed the filter into the filter-holder (12), fill the filter with the amount of coffee required for 1 or 2 cups (7 gr. - 14 gr.), level it off, and press the coffee down with the presser, manually clean the filter edge from any coffee residues and fit the filter-holder into the brewing unit (39) moving it rightward tightly in its place.

Place the cups under the spouts and start the brewing using the unit control (11) or (20).

Once you have obtained the desired amount of coffee, stop the delivery using the unit control (11) or (20) and leave the filter-holder in its place.

To prepare additional cups of coffee, remove the filter-holder (12) from the unit, moving it leftward, empty the coffee grounds into the drawer provided and once again follow the previous steps.

Caution! We recommend not to touch the brewing units or the steam and hot-water nozzles when the machine is running, and pay attention not to place your hands under the units or nozzles during the delivery, to avoid possible scalds.

It is advisable to leave the filter-holders, with their own filters and coffee grounds, fitted into the unit throughout your days' work, so that the filter-holder will always preserve an optimal temperature.

Caution! When the machine is new, the filter-holder may not be aligned (perpendicular to the machine itself) as shown in the picture; this however does not affect the proper use of the machine itself. After a short period of use the filter-holder will be gradually settled on the correct position.

Function of keys:

A. 1 normal cup of coffee
B. 1 "large" cup of coffee
C. 2 normal cups of coffee
D. 2 "large" cups of coffee
E. Brewing unit stop/continuous delivery

The (E) button is designed for continuous delivery and delivery stop.

The machine therefore has a double function:

A. By pressing the (E) button, the equipment is semi-automatic.

B. By pressing the 4 selection buttons, the machine operates through electronic dosing.

By holding the (E) pushing botton for few seconds, the machine will enter in the programming phase, as signalled by the low frequency flashing of the LED (F). Release the programming button (the LED will continue to flash) and push the button of the unit related on which you wish to program coffee dosing, at this stage delivery will start; once the desired dose has been reached, press any button of the unit to interrupt the delivery; the dose will be stored in the memory and the machine will exit the programming phase (the LED will stop flashing and will switch it off).

1. This operation should be repeated on the remaining selection buttons for the various groups.
2. The same operation needs to be repeated if you wish to increase or decrease the set dose.

COFFEE DELIVERY

To obtain the coffee delivery, push the selected button on the brewing unit (11); the red LED (F) in the (E) button will switch on. The coffee delivery will start and will be automatically interrupted once the previous amount set has been reached. The stop of the delivery will be signalled by the LED switched off.

The cancellation of the selection may be interrupted by pressing any key on the brewing unit (11).

The (E) asterisk button, besides interrupting or aborting the delivery, is also designed for continuous delivery, which means that the dose is not previously set, but the unit will continue to deliver coffee until the key is pressed again to interrupt the delivery from that unit.

LACK OF VOLUMETRIC COUNTER IMPULSES

On starting a volumetric control coffee cycle, the correct function of the volumetric counter is checked by the reading of the number of impulses sent by the same to the micro-controller.

Should no impulses by recorded for a period exceeding 5 seconds the LED relative to the selected measure begins flashing (ie. the led relative to key T4).

After one minute in which no impulses are recorded (volumetric counter time out), the measure underway is automatically stopped.

NOTE: To avoid the automatic block of the machine, if within 10 seconds the coffee delivery has not started yet, press one of the selector buttons to cancel the command, replace the coffee contained in the filter basket and repeat the delivery operation.

8 - HOT WATER DELIVERY

VRS – VRV MODEL

When the machine is ready to brew coffee, move the steam jet over the tank (13) open the water/steam handle tap (23) for some seconds, in this way the remaining water can go out from the steam jet; in a short time only steam will come out.

Close the water/steam handle tap (23).

Operate the steam lever switch (22).

When the ligh (17) is on, the machine will be ready to supply steam.

N.B. Do not produce steam for more than 60 seconds.

Put the liquid in a tank, dip the steam jet (10) in the liquid and turn slowly the steam tap handle (7) anticlockwise; then open completely the handle to avoid the exit of a big quantity of steam boiling the liquid.

To obtain the milk froth for the cappuccino, pour the milk to be prepared in a tall and narrow tank until is it is half full, immerse the steam pipe (24) until it touches the bottom of the tank and boil the milk.

Move the tank up and down with the tap opened and allow the steam jet to touch the surface of the milk for a few seconds and obtain the froth.

To obtain the cappuccino, add the hot and frothed milk in the coffee prepared in the cappuccino cup.

At the end turn clockwise the steam handle to stop the steam supply and take away the milk jug.

Put the switch steam lever (21) on the position "OFF".

N.B. to prepare immediately an other coffee, fill up the boiler with water and bring it to correct temperature. Otherwise the coffee could be burnt.

Put an empty cup on the grill.

Don't insert the filter holder

Let the coffee lever down (20) filling up the cup of water. When the

cup is filled, stop the supply.

Afterwards you could prepare other coffee.

9.3 - USE OF THE CAPPUCCINO AUTOMATIC BAR

After having prepared the coffee in the cappuccino cup, insert the automatic cappuccino (18) tube into the milk jug, turn the cappuccino tap knob (7) anticlockwise and regulate the milk flow using the control handwheel of the frother, in order to obtain the desired froth thickness.

To obtain a thick froth, turn it clockwise.

To obtain a foamy froth, turn it anticlockwise.

9.4 TEA, CAMOMILE

Place a container under the hot water delivery nozzle (9), turn the hot water tap knob (6) anticlockwise until you obtain the desired amount of water; now add the tea bag or drink sachet required for the preparation. For hygiene purposes, we recommend in any case to use water from the water system, heated using the steam delivery nozzle (10).

For the model PICCOLOBAR (VRP), follow the instructions of the section (8) for the supply of the hot water.

10 - MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OPERATIONS

10.1 - STEAM DELIVERY NOZZLE CLEANING

To avoid altering the taste of the drinks to be heated and to prevent the holes of the end part of the steam delivery nozzle getting clogged, clean carefully the nozzle after each use.

10.2 - CAPPUCCINO AUTOMATIC CLEANING

After each brewing, the Cappuccino Automatic has to be cleaned of the milk residues. Immerse the aspiration tube (21) in a container full of water, proceed as normal cappuccino preparation, allowing the dirty water to flow into a suitable container.

10.3 - BREWING UNIT AND JET CLEANING

Remove the filter-holder from the brewing unit. Place the provided seal inside the filter, pour a spoonful of coffee-machine detergent powder and fit the filter holder into the brewing unit to be cleaned. Start the brewing unit using the unit control (11-20) and interrupt the delivery after approximately 4-5 seconds.

Start and interrupt the delivery alternatively for approximately one minute, to allow the removal of coffee and scale deposits. Remove the seal and start the delivery system several times to rinse the unit. Deliver a few serving of coffees so as to eliminate any unpleasant taste from the jets and from the brewing unit.

After a long period of hot water stagnation within the pipes, let the water flow vertically so as to remove any deposit.

10.4 - FILTER AND FILTER-HOLDER CLEANING

Check frequently the filter holes to remove any coffee deposits.

Prepare about a litre of boiling water with four teaspoons of coffee-machine detergent in a suitable container, and immerse the filter baskets and filter-holders in this solution for 20-30 minutes; then rinse thoroughly under running water.

10.5 - DRAIN TRAY CLEANING

Remove the drain tray grid (8) and pull out the lower drain tray (13) in order to clean it from coffee powder residues.

10.6 - CASING CLEANING

11 - REPLACING THE GROUP GASKET

A B C D E F G

A. Round metal block
B. Sprayer
C. Jet
D. Gasket
E. Jet fixing screw
F. Filter
G. Filter-holder

If, during the delivery, the coffee drips out of the edges of the filterholder (G), this may be caused by the obstruction of the filter-holder delivery hole, in which case the hole needs to be cleaned; if the problem persists or, if when fitting the filter-holder into the brewing unit it significantly moves beyond the unit centre, the group gasket needs to be replaced (D).

In order to replace it, unscrew the jet fixing screw (E), remove the jet (C) and the sprayer (B), and then use a screwdriver as a lever to remove the round metal block (A) and subsequently the gasket (D).
