Before carrying out the installation carefully read the safety instructions at the beginning of this manual and particularly about how to put THE MACHINE INTO ZERO ENERGY STATUS.

1) Once the machine has been removed from the packag-

ing, position it on a horizontal surface and proceed with the installation as illustrated in the following paragraphs. Arrange the accessories as follows:

2) Insert the ring in its seat inside the filter holder.

3) Insert one of the two filters.

4) Caution: danger of pollution.

Monitoring of water recipe to keep it within required levels and maintenance of filtration system is the user's responsibility. Failing to meet and maintain water at the following levels will void the entire warranty:

Water line pressure between 2 - 4 bar and water to be cold;

TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level between 50 - 250 ppm

• Alkalinitylevelbetween10-150ppm

• Chlorinelevellessthan0.50mg/l

• Phlevelbetween6.5and8.5. Tank Model

5) Open the hatch and take out the reservoir. Especially

the first time, wash the reservoir with soap and water. Fill the reservoir with water and make certain that the outside of the reservoir is dry.

6) Returnthereservoirtoitshousingandclosethehatch.

1) Press the On switch on the right side of the machine;

the keyboard lights up. The machine automatically loads the water into the boiler (initial time approxi- mately three minutes). When the water has reached the correct level, the heating of the water starts sig- nalled by the resistance warning light coming on. NOTE: the machine has an electronic level valve so it automatically feeds in water to the boiler as needed to restore the level. NOTE: the machine safety system shuts down the machine after the pump has been running stead- ily for approximately 1,5 minutes (this prevents the pump from overheating). In this case, switch off the machine using the main switch and switch on again to complete the first filling. Whilst functioning, the keyboard is backlit. The resistance warning light comes on when it is necessary to heat the water in the boiler and when the level in the boiler is sufficient.

2) Wait until the heating light goes off, indicating that the

water has reached the desired temperature. NOTE if the water light goes on, it means that the water reservoir is empty or nearly empty. NOTE remember that to obtain a good drink it is best to use the cup warming shelf to keep the cups warm.

3) After the water has been loaded press a dispensing

button until water pours out from the unit.

4) At this point the machine has been set up and is ready

to make coffee or produce steam. NOTE: At the start of the day’s activities and in any case, ifthereareanypausesofmorethan8hours,then it is necessary to change 100% of the water in the circuits, using the relevant dispensers. NOTE: In case of use where service is continuous, make the above changes at least once a week.

8) Checkthatthesteamleverisclosed.

9) Make certain that the line voltage corresponds to the

requirements indicated on the label.

Also reread the corresponding sections in the user's manual. Problem The machine does not prepare the espresso coffee. The coffee comes out of the sides of the filter holder. There is too little or no "cream". The "cream" is too dark and/or the coffee has a burnt flavour. The coffee is not hot enough. The pump does not suck water from the tank. Remedy Check whether the reservoir empty light is on: no water in the reservoir, or reservoir not inserted correctly. The coffee has been ground too fine or has been pressed too hard. The spout is plugged. Scale must be removed from the machine. The filter holder was not inserted correctly. The filter holder was not tightened enough. Clean coffee grinds away from the gasket (see the section on cleaning). Check the amount of coffee: the measure must be filled level. The machine is not hot: is the heating element off? The coffee has not been ground fine enough. The coffee in the filter has not been pressed correctly The coffee is not fresh. The water is not fresh. The coffee has been ground too fine. The coffee has been pressed too hard. Too much coffee has been measured. The hot water passes through the filter too quickly. It takes 25-40 seconds to make 2 cups. The coffee in the filter has not been pressed correctly. The coffee has not been ground fine enough. The filter holder is cold. The filter holder should always left inserted in the machine while the unit is heating up and during use so it remains hot. The cups are cold. The cups must be placed on the heated shelf or preheated with hot water prior to use. The boiler safety thermostat has cut in: contact the nearest service center. Open the steam tap and push repeatedly the coffee delivery key.
