Should the flame not light up, avoid insisting and close the gas tap by turning it 90^ in a clockwise direction.
- Wait until the machine reaches its working pressure and until the correct thermal balance is achieved.
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 - 4 or button panel 5 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 coardsely 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.
Model L (Fig.8)
Espresso-coffee-machine with mechanical groups and fixed dosing. Bring down the group control lever (4C). Wait for the outflow of some coffee drops in the cup; work the lever only initially, then let it lift up of itself.
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.
8.2. Preparing cappuccino (Fig.9)
● 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.
- Now, raise and lower the vessel constantly so that the steam nozzle is immersed in and out of the milk to create the 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 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 6 (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.
8.4. Preparing tea, camomile, etc.
- Place the jug under the hot water spout and use the delivery control according to the model (Fig.8). When the desired quantity has been obtained, turn off the switch.
- Add the beverage desired.
Models E
For these models, hot water is dispensed in specific measures (see paragraph 9, adjusting the dose of hot water).
To dispense hot water in different quantities, proceed as follows:
- Hold down the delivery control 4 (Fig.8) for at least four seconds then release the button; the machine continuously delivers water.
- When the desired measure has been obtained, press the button E again to interrupt delivery.
When the dose of hot water is being delivered electronically, delivery can be interrupted by pressing the button 4.
When purified water is used, these beverages often assume a darker colour.
Should the user prefer a lighter coloured drink, draw fresh water from an ordinary tap and proceed with the heating phase as described in point 8.3.
9. ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING OF THE DOSE
9.1. Models E (Fig.8)
It is possible to adjust the dose of coffee and hot water dispensed by electronically controlled models. (If the function is enabled)
9.1.1. Adjusting the dose
The quantity of coffee and hot water dispensed can be adjusted using the button panel or the hot water controls.
1 Press the button E on any button panel and hold it down for 8-10 seconds until water stops flowing from the dispensing unit and the led of the continuons button on the first button panel 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 (with ground coffee) on the left unit and the cup under the spout.
4 Operate the selected button (i.e. button A for one small cup).
5 One the required coffee amount in the cup has been reached, press the stop button A. Coffe will stop pouring and the microprocessor will store the dose.
6 Press the continuous button E again; the led will go out and the machine will store the new quantity.
7 Make the coffee and check the cup amount in order to check that programming is correct.
If some doses have to be changed (A-B-C-D), once at point 5 repeat the instructions in points 3-4-5 for each dose, remembering to use the filter-holder with relevant filter and freshly ground coffee.
Then carry out point 6 and repeat point 7 to check all changed doses.
If all units are to be programmed with the same doses, the selection of coffee doses is finished. If the dosage of another unit is to be changed (1-2-3-4 doses), proceed as indicated in the above-mentioned point 1-7, using only the button panel of the selected unit.

10. MAINTENANCE
Maintenance operations have to be carried out when the machine is off and cold and the plug is disconnected. Some particular operations have to be effected when the machine is operating.
Do not clean the machine by using metal or abrasive devices, such as steel wool, metal brushes, needles, etc. or general detergents (alcohol, solvents, etc.)
When necessary, use special detergents for coffee machines that can be bought in specialized service centres.
Use a clean cloth or sponge that does not leave hairs or fluff (preferably cotton or linen).
- Carefully clean the outside surface, following the grain of the satin finish on the parts in stainless steel.
- Clean the steam and hot water spouts and check that the nozzles are not encrusted (if they become encrusted, be careful not to deform or damage them).
- Clean the spray units and the seals under the casing of the delivery units using the special brush supplied.
- Remove the filter-holders and remove the filter and the clamp which secures the filter, use a brush to remove any coffee deposits and rinse with hot water in order to dissolve any grease deposits.

A) The machine does not start:
- check that the plug is connected;
- In case of power failure wait for the power to return and check if the earth leakage protection circuit breaker or the main switch is on;
- check the condition of the plug and the supply cable; if damaged have them replaced by qualified personnel.
B) There is water under the machine:
D) Irregular steam delivery:
- check that the nozzles are not obstructed.
13. MACHINES WITH ALTERNATIVE GAS HEATER VERSION (Fig.14)
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 with 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 (cent of millimeter) | Natural gas G20 - 20 mbar (cent of millimeter) |
| 2 Gr. | 2,5 KW (2150 Kcal/h.) | 75 102 | |
| 3-4 Gr | 3,3 KW (2850 Kcal/h.) | 90 135 | |
The primary air intake regulator (2) is set with the reference notch showing “GPL” corresponding to the secuting 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 in annealed 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 annealed 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 main gas 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.
- Wair 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 te 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 has 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.
