2.DESCRIPTION
The machines in the S20 series have been designed to prepare espresso coffee and hot beverages.
A positive-displacement pump inside the machine powers the heater in which the water is heated. By pressing the appropriate buttons, water is supplied to the spouts in the form of hot water or steam, according to needs.
In the model with an economizer, the water to be used for the beverages is supplied directly by the water supply, pressurized by the pump and immediately heated by the steam produced by the boiler.
Model S24 has an incorporated water-tank and does not, therefore, need to be connected to the waterworks. A water-softener inside the tank softens the water, filtering the calcium salts in it.
The machine consists of a steel supporting structure on which the mechanical and electrical components are fitted. These are completely covered with panels in varnished steel and stainless steel.
The beverages are dispensed at the front of the machine, where all the buttons, control devices and dispensers are to be found.
There is a cup-warming plate on the top of the machine.

To make 2 coffees, repeat this operation for the second time.

For the sake of safety, don't bring down the lever, if there is no coffee in the filter holder hooked on the brewing group.


8. USE
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
- Unclamp the filter-holder from the dispensing unit and knock any grouts out into the drawer especially provided for this purpose, taking care not to damage the rim of the filter.
- Use the filter for 1 or 2 coffees, according to need.
- Fill the filter with the measure of coffee, level it off and press it down gently with the presser.
- Remove any ground coffee that has stuck to the rim of the filter while pressing.

If ground coffee is left on the rim of the filter, a leaktight seal is not ensured, with consequent leaking of water and coffee grounds.
- Lock the filter-holder into the dispensing unit firmly to obtain a leaktight seal.
- Place the cups under the spouts and start pouring using control 3 or button panel 4 according to model (Fig.8).
- When the coffee has been poured, leave the filter-holder attached to the dispensing unit until the next coffee is required.

When pouring, beware of the hot parts of the machine, especially the coffee dispensing units, the steam and hot water spouts. Do not put your hands for any reason under the units and the spouts when they are operating.
The grinding of the coffee beans is of fundamental importance to the making of good coffee, and the granular texture of the resulting grounds should be such that it takes 25-30 seconds to produce the beverage. If the coffee is ground too coarsely the coffee will be pale in colour and weak in flavour, with only a very small amount of white cream, and if the grounds are too fine, the coffee will be dark with no cream. Good coffee can only be made if the beans are freshly and uniformly ground (only possible when the blades of the coffee grinder are sharp) and are then measured out into the correct quantities (roughly 6 grams per measure).
The importance of freshly ground coffee beans is due to the fact that once ground, they rapidly lose their aromatic qualities, and fats present in the beans go rancid.
8.2.Preparing cappuccino Fig.11 (excluding DE/H TS)

Make cup of cappuccino with the express coffee.
Use a high and narrow jug, half-filled with milk.
- Place the jug under the spout so that the nozzle touches the bottom.
- Turn on the steam tap and lower the jug so that the nozzle is almost at the surface of the milk.
- Continuously move the jug up and down so that the nozzle moves in and out of the milk, causing it to froth.
- Turn off the steam tap and pour the milk into the cup.
Immediately after carrying out this operation, clean the spout with a sponge or a clean cloth so that the milk does not dry on it. Be careful as the the spout is hot and may burn your hand.
8.3. Heating a beverage
- Immerse the steam spout into the liquid to be heated;
Gradually turn on the steam tap 9 o 10 Fig.8;the steam that bursts in the liquid heats it to the desired temperature. - Turn off the steam tap when the desired temperature has been reached.
Immediately after carrying out this operation, clean the spout with a sponge or clean cloth. Be careful as the spout is hot and may burn your hand.
Version De/H TS/LE
Use a high and narrow, half-filled jug (at least half a litre)
- Place the jug under the spout so that the nozzle touches the bottom.
Press the steam button 10 Fig.8.
- When the programmed temperature is reached, steam is no longer emitted.
To manually continue the heating process, the steam button must be held down.
The heating phase programmed can be interrupted at any moment by pressing the same steam button.
In the order to obtain a uniform temperature the steam spout and relative temperature sensor on the spout must be kept clean. They should be cleaned immediately after the heating process with a clean, slightly damp cloth
The temperature can be programmed by the technician between 54^ (130^) and 85^ (185^)
These is only one setting, valid for both steam spouts.
Delivery time must in no case exceed 5 minutes.
The user must be very careful when carrying out this operation because, as soon as the steam button is pressed, steam is emitted at full pressure from the spout.
Do not put your hands under the spout while steam is being emitted.

11. MACHINES WITH ALTERNATIVE GAS HEATER VERSION

N.B. Installation of the machine and any adjustment or adaptation to the type of gas should be done by a technically qualified person.

The machine leaves the factory all set for use in liquid gas (GPL).
The gas regulator (1) is therefore fitted with the appropriate injector shown in the table below:
| Model | Nominal thermic capacity | GPL G30 - 29 mbar | Natural gas G20 - 20 mbar |
| 2-3 Gr. | 2,5 KW (2150 Kcal/h.) | 75 102 |
The primary air intake regulator (2) is set with the reference notch showing "GPL" corresponding to the fixture screw (3).
The flame is regulated (minimum and maximum) to suit this type of gas.
If the machine is to be used with a different type of gas, it will be necessary to replace the injector in accordance with the above table and to rotate the primary air regulator (2), which, in the case of natural gas, will have to be set with the reference notch showing "N" corresponding to the securing screw (3).
To do this, it will of course be necessary to loosen the securing screw (3) and to tighten it again after rotating the primary air intake regulator (2).
Connections to mains gas, from the gas tap available in the room to the valve fitted on the machine, must be carried out in accordance with the regulations in force, using a flexible pipe or a rigid pipe of soft copper.
In the latter case, the special rubber-pipe fitting in connected tightly to the valve by means of the biconical nozzle and securing nut supplied.
The flexible pipe is fitted over the end of the mains outlet and secured with the metal strip supplied.
Alternatively, the soft copper pipe can be connected up, again using the special biconical nozzle and the appropriate nuts, directly to the valve.
Once the machine has been connected up to the gas main, and after filling the boiler up with water in accordance with the instructions in the booklet ("INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE"), the burner can be lit in the following manner:
- Open the gas exclusion tap.
- Press on the gas valve knob, on the machine rotate it 90^ anti-clockwise, and keep it pressed in. At the same time, press the piezoelectric lighter one or more times - the lighter knob bears a symbol resembling a spark - until the burner lights up.
- Wait about 20 seconds, then release the valve knob and the burner should stay lit - the flame is visible through the special hole in the panel behind the dispenser units.
N.B.
Should the burner not light up, do not persist, but release the valve knob, and then check that lighter spark on the burner is in order and about 5 mm long.
Should the flame go out when the valve knob is released, check the position of thermocouple and the circuit connected to it.
The flame should be bright blue; if not, slightly regulate the primary air intake (2) until the desired effect is achieved.
Wait until the machine reaches the correct pressure, according to instructions. Otherwise, adjust the gas pressure regulator, which has two regulating screws. The one that protrudes more (4) serves to regulate the boiler's operating pressure, while the other (5) serves to set the flame at the minimum.
When the machine is pressurized, check to see that the minimum flame is correct by adjusting the screw (4) if necessary; after loosening the locking-nut, unscrew the screw until it feels loose (the main gas-pipe is closed), and check whether, under these conditions, the low flame remains lit, thus acting as a pilot.
If the flame is too high, it will be necessary to regulate screw (5), turning it slightly clockwise, of course after having loosened the locking-nut. If, on the contrary, the flame tends to go out, then regulate screw (5) by turning it anti-clockwise, until a very low, but constant flame is obtained. Having achieved this correct adjustment of the minimum flame, hold the screw still and lock it with the locking-nut.
Then rotate the screw (4) clockwise until there is a there is a high flame, and wait for the boiler to reach the desired operating pressure: if the flame dies down before reaching the required pressure, tighten screw (4) further; if the flame dies down at a higher pressure, then unscrew the screw.
Check once or twice by opening the steam tap to release the pressure in the boiler, then hold screw (4) still and lock it with the locking-nut.

12. STOPPING THE MACHINE
A - Temporary stop
