Once the espresso machine has been unpackaged, placed on a hard surface.Remove the drain tray and slide the water reservoir until the water reservoir ll cover is accessible. Remove the cover and ll water reservoir with potable water. Replace the ll cover and slide the water reservoir to the operating position and replace the drain tray. In order to connect the machine up to the water mains proceed according to the indications given in the Installation Guide and in compliance with any local/national safety standards of the location in which the machine is being installed. To guarantee a correct and safe functioning of the machine and to maintain an adequate performance level and a high quality of the beverages being brewed it is important that the incoming water be of a hardness greater than 7°f (70ppm, 4°d) and less than 10°f (100ppm, 6°d), pH should be between 6.5 and 8.5 and the quantity of chlorides be less than 30mg/l . Respecting these values allows the machine to operate at maximum efciency. If these parameters are not present, a specic ltration device should be installed, while always adhering to the local national standards in place regarding potable water.In order to enable you to check if your water supply is within the suggested ranges, La Marzocco machines will be equipped with a quick water test kit (see image below) including 6 test-strips and instruction cards.The parameters that you can measure are Total Hardness, Total Iron, Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, pH & Total Alkalinity, Chlorides.Ideally, you should perform a test on the water BEFORE the water treatment system and again AFTER the water system in order to verify if this is actually matching our

suggested ranges. Once the test has been performed, learn which treatment system is most appropriate for your particular water supply by lling out the online water calculator on our website: LA MARZOCCO WATER CALCULATOR (http://www.lamarzocco. com/water_calculator/).

2) Connect espresso machine to power supply.

Connect the espresso machine to a power supply that is rated in accordance with the serial plate on the espresso machine.

3) Filling the boilers with water.

Complete the following steps to properly ll the boiler tanks: Steam boiler: Turn the main switch to position “1”, the steam boiler will then automatically ll to a predetermined level. When the correct water level in the steam boiler is reached, the machine will automatically stop lling. NOTE: It may be necessary to re-ll the water reservoir during this process. Integrated brew group: The water ows inside the Integrated brew group directly when the water pump is activated. When the linea mini is turned on the electronics will activate the water pump to ll both boilers.

4) Verify lling of boilers.

The installation is now complete and the espresso machine should be heating to the operating temperatures. Brewing after rst installation Once the rst installation procedures are nished, before proceeding with brewing coffee, hot water and steam, please follow these steps:

• Engage the portalter by inserting it into the group head and rotate the handle from left to right. Once the portalter is inserted properly, you can move the paddle on the left side to start the ow of water through the portalter. Brew water through the group for at least two minutes.

• Being careful to avoid burns, turn on steam wand for at least one minute.

• Turn on the hot water valve for the time necessary to allow at least 1 liter of water to be brewed.

5) Waiting for the espresso machine to heat to

operating temperature. During this time, the pointer of the Integrated brew group pressure gauge may reach as high as 12 bar. This may happen anytime that the heating element is in the “on” condition. If the pressure exceeds 12 bar then it will be necessary to adjust the expansion valve in such a manner that the pressure never exceeds 12 bar. In normal operating conditions, the Integrated brew group pressure gauge can read anywhere from 0-12 bar. When brewing, the pressure should be set to approximately 9 bar. The machine is ready to brew water when the power indicator light (red) is ON. When the machine is warming up the power indicator light (red) is ashing. NOTE: As the steam boiler reaches operating temperature you may hear air and steam escaping from the boiler. This is a normal sound. As the water boils, air in the boiler is replaced by steam and exits through the vacuum breaker. As the boiler get closer to operating temperature the vacuum breaker closes and the steam is no longer able to escape. This process allows the air in the steam boiler to escape and to be replaced by water vapor.EN

7) Adjusting the expansion valve.

The expansion valve is a component that limits the maximum pressure in the Integrated brew group. Heating the integrated brew group causes the water within to expand. Since the integrated brew group is completely saturated, the expanding water causes an increase in pressure within the boiler. Without a safety device the increase in pressure could cause a rupture in the boiler. The pressure in the integrated brew group should never exceed 12 bar. The valve is hot, so, using adequate protection, rotate the expansion valve clockwise to increase pressure. To decrease pressure, rotate the expansion valve counter clockwise (see the following diagram). 220V, 60Hz모델명:제조년월:소비 전력:정격 전압:인증번호:제품명: 커피메이커제조사:La Marzocco S.r.l.Italy제조국:수입원:㈜라마르조코코리아1588-7435A/S 센터:전자파적합등록번호:일련번호:LM000001HW07255-15016 MSIP-REI-LMK-LINEAMINILINEAMINI 1,820 WEN

8) Adjusting water pump pressure.

The water pump is factory set at 9 bar pressure. If it becomes necessary to change the pressure please use the following procedure:

1. Remove the top tray and the lower tray.

2. Locate the water pump adjustment

screw and loosen the lock nut.

3. Adjust the water pump pressure to the

desired measurement.

4. Rotate clockwise to increase pressure

and counter-clockwise to reduce pressure. NOTE: The water pump pressure should be adjusted when the machine is operating and coffee is present in the portalter. Figure 3 - Water Pump Pressure Adjustment Lock nut Adjustment screwEN

1. Installing the portalter.

Install the portalter by inserting it into the integrated brew group and rotate the handle from left to right. Once the portalter is inserted properly, you can move the paddle handle from right to left to start the ow of water through the portalter.It is important that the portalter is at operating temperature prior to lling with coffee. Allow hot water to pass through the empty portalter for a few seconds before the brewing process to pre-heat the portalter. NOTE: It is important to leave the portalter locked in the espresso machine when not in use. The portalter must remain heated for the brewing process to function correctly.

2. Brewing coffee. It is now possible to

remove the portalter to make a coffee beverage. Place some ground coffee in the portalter basket using the single or double basket. Press down on the ground coffee with the supplied tamper and install the portalter on the linea mini. Move the paddle handle from right to left to begin brewing (see Fig.1 page 8).You can adjust the coffee brewing water temperature rotating the ring of the mechanic potentiometer (see Fig.5 page 14)It is recommended to wait for a few seconds until the desired temperature is achieved.If you want to decrease the temperature, it is recommended to dispense water from the group for a few seconds to speed up the process.

Figure 4 - Portalter Filter basketPortalterDouble snap-onspoutSpringO-Ringgasket WARNING The integrated brew group and steam boiler contain water at elevated temperature. Water temperature over 125°F / 52°C can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalding (integrated brew group 200°F/93.3°C - steam boiler 260°F / 127°C). WARNING The machine must not be dipped in, nor splashed with, water in order to clean it. For cleaning operations, please follow the instructions listed below very carefully. WARNING This machine is designed only for preparing coffee and hot drinks. WARNING To avoid the risk of injury, do not open the brew chamber during the brew process.EN

NOTE: Some users believe it is important to allow water to pass through the integrated brew group prior to installing the portalter to ush any remaining coffee oils and particles from the integrated brew group. Some also ush just after brewing for the same reason. Please experiment to make the best possible procedure for your coffee. There are many techniques for brewing espresso. You can nd instructions for many techniques on websites, blogs and forums.

3. Dispensing steam.

In order to allow for any condensed water in the wand to be released ALWAYS allow some steam to be discharged by turning on the valve before inserting the steam wand into the pitcher of liquid to be heated. Dip the steam wand into the liquid to be heated. Rotate the steam knob to activate the steaming process. The steam valve has a variable ow control. The steam will transfer heat to the liquid raising its temperature. Be careful not to allow liquid to overow in order to avoid severe burns. Steaming milk for cappuccinos and other beverages is very easy but making it just right requires some skill. Please experiment with various techniques to nd the best method for your milk. You can nd many discussions about the steaming of milk on the internet. NOTE: It is important to have a sufcient volume of liquid in the steaming pitcher. Therefore if you intend to steam small amounts of milk it is necessary to use a small pitcher. If you intend to steam larger quantities of milk then it is necessary to use a larger steaming pitcher. Using too little milk in a steaming pitcher can allow the milk to be “blown out” of the pitcher. A good rule to follow is to ll the steaming pitcher only half full of liquid. NOTE: In order to prevent the heated liquid from being sucked back into the steam boiler it is recommended that you purge the steam system after heating any liquid. Purge the system by opening the steam valve for a few seconds to allow steam to escape to the atmosphere from the end of the steam wand.

4. Dispensing hot water.

You may dispense hot water by using the hot water nozzle. To dispense hot water rotate the left knob (see Fig.6 page 14). This knob commands the hot water delivery.

5. Connect/disconnect the coffee machine to/

from the WiFi network. Use the app for the rst connection to your WiFi network. Subsequently, when the coffee machine is turned on, it will automatically connect to the WiFi network. For disconnecting the coffee machine from the WiFi network, remove the water tank, make sure that the blue LED ashes, operate 5 consecutive times the paddle lever within a time of 10 seconds. Now the machine is disconnected. To restore the connection of the machine, just turn it on again using the switch. Figure 5 - Mechanical Potentiometer Hot water knob Figure 6 - Hot Water KnobEN

1. Hot water dispensing.

Hot water may be dispensed from the Hot Water Wand on the left side side of the machine. This is accomplished by rotating the left knob (see Fig.6 page 14).

2. General notes for coffee preparation.

The portalters must remain heated since they are at the lowest position of the group itself, and they are partially isolated from the group due to the rubber gasket between them. This can be accomplished by leaving the portalters installed in the machine when not in use. The portalter may also be actively heated by rotating group activation paddle to ush hot water through the portalter then turning off the water ow.

The size of the coffee granules is extremely important in preparing a good cup of coffee, along with the type of coffee blend used. The ideal grind can be determined by making various coffees using the amount of ground coffee that you would normally use for each cup (we recommend at least 6g). The best grind is that which allows coffee to ow out from the portalter spouts neither too slowly, drop by drop, nor too quickly. A general rule is that a double dose should dispense approximately 60ml/ 2 uid oz. of espresso in approximately 25 seconds. This time may be adjusted by varying the coarseness of the grind. N.B. If the machine has not been used for more than 8 hours or, in any case, after long periods of being idle, in order to use the machine to its full potential it is necessary to perform some cleaning cycles before brewing beverages as follows:• Group: with the portalter engaged in the group brew water through it for at least two minutes.• Being careful to avoid burns, turn on the steam wand for at least one minute.• Turn on the hot water valve for the time necessary to allow 1 liter of water to be brewed.• If using the machine with water reservoir, change the water in the reservoir daily.If the machine is not going to be used forlong periods of time, it is advisable to follow these safety indications:• Disconnect the machine from the water mains or interrupt the water connection via a mains tap.• Disconnect the machine from the electrical mains.

WARNING If the above-mentioned instructions are not adhered to the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage to persons or things.EN

1. Cleaning the diffuser screen and diffuser

screw. During the discharge operation (subsequent to coffee brewing), small amounts of coffee grounds may slowly build-up on and obstruct, even partially, the diffuser screen. Turn off the machine and remove the diffuser screen by unscrewing the diffuser screw. Soak in detergent powder liquid following the instructions of detergent manufacturer. Rinse thoroughly with clean water puro caff. Install and run hot water through the group head several times with the screen installed.

2. Cleaning the brewing system.

Insert the blind lter into to the portalter and put the correct amount of espresso cleaning product (following the product’sinstructions) into the lter, engage the portalter into the Integrated Brew Group.• Move the group activation paddle for said group, as if you were making a regular cup of coffee. Stop the water after about 15-20 seconds.• Start and stop the group several times until you notice clear water being released instead of soapy water when you remove the portalter.Do not remove the portalter when group is dispensing water.• Rinse the group using a normal lter in the portalter, by running hot water through it several times.

7. Preventative Maintenance and Cleaning

WARNING Jets of water should not be used to clean the machine, nor should it be placed where water jets are used. WARNING Do not remove the lter holder while relative group is brewing hot liquids. The integrated brew group contains water at elevated temperature. Water temperature over 125°F / 52°C can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalding. WARNING The machine must not be dipped in, nor splashed with water in order to clean it. For cleaning operations, please follow the instructions very carefully. WARNING The expansion valve can discharge water as hot as 200°F / 93°C. Adequate protection for handling this component is needed before attempting to adjust. WARNING This machine is designed only for preparing coffee and hot drinks. Figure 7 - Integrated Brew Group Diffuser screwDiffuser screenGroup assemblyEN

3. Cleaning the body.

Wipe the stainless steel surfaces with a soft, non abrasive cloth in the direction of the glazing marks, if any. Do not use any alcohol or solvents whatsoever on painted, imprinted, or plastic parts in order not to damage them. Clean the side panels using a soft cloth. Clean only with a damp soft cloth or possibly soaked in warm water and mild soap.

4. Cleaning the steam nozzles.

Steam nozzles must be cleaned immediately after use with a damp cloth and by producing a short burst of steam so as to prevent the formation of deposits inside the nozzles themselves, which may alter the avor of other drinks to be heated. If milk residue is present on the steam wand, soak the tip in a container of hot water, then it will be possible to wipe the tip clean. Repeat process if residue remains.

5. Cleaning the hot water nozzles.

Hot water nozzles must be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth soaked in water and/or mild soap. NOTE: This cleaning schedule is based upon a moderate to average use (5-20) cups per day. If machine use is less than moderate then this schedule may be adjusted accordingly.

6. Clean the water reservoir and the drain

box: The water reservoir needs to be cleaned periodically to ensure that no algae forms on the inside surfaces. To clean, rst remove the water reservoir from the machine. Disconnect the clear plastic water intake hose. Hand wash each part with water containing mild soap.

WARNING The manufacturer declines any responsibility for any event leading to liability suits whenever grounding has not been completed according to current local, national, and international regulations and electrical codes, or if other electrical parts have been connected improperly.EN

Next it will be necessary to check the expansion valve. As the integrated brew group heats to operating temperature the pressure in the integrated brew group will rise. There is an expansion valve behind the drain tray that allows some water to escape during this process to limit the maximum pressure in the integrated brew group to 12 bar. Please monitor the integrated brew group pressure gauge during the initial heating process. You should notice the gauge approach 12 bar and stop. If the pressure gauge does not reach 12 bar or if the pressure gauge rises above 12 bar, then it will be necessary to adjust the expansion valve. Please follow the next step to properly adjust the expansion valve.

Steam boiler pressure gauge Integrated brew group pressure gaugeEN

Please follow this procedure if it is necessary to adjust the expansion valve. First remove the drain box to access the expansion valve. The expansion valve protrudes through the sheet metal, has the shape of a hexagon, is brass in color and 18 mm (tool). The valve will be hot, so, using adequate protection, in order to adjust the expansion valve rotate the valve clockwise to raise the pressure and counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure. It may be necessary to use a spanner to rotate the expansion valve in 1/4 turn or less increments until the desired pressure is achieved. Replace the drain box after each adjustment to ensure the machine is operating correctly.

Increase pressure Decrease pressure WARNING The expansion valve can discharge water as hot as 200°F / 93°C. Adequate protection for handling this component is needed before attempting to adjust.EN

You may also monitor the steam boiler heating progress by watching the steam boiler pressure gauge. The steam boiler is set at approximately 2.0 Bar of pressure at the factory. Once the pressure gauge reaches this point the heating will stop.

Steam boiler pressure gauge Integrated brew group pressure gaugeEN

When the espresso machine is ready, (red indicator light ON) place ground coffee into the portalter and activate the brewing process. When brewing, the integrated brew group pressure should be between 8-10 bar. The steam boiler pressure should be set at 2 bar but can operate at any setting between 1.3 bar and 2 bar.

Steam boiler pressure gauge Integrated brew group pressure gaugeEN

The temperature of the brewing water is measured at the most critical point in the integrated brew group where temperature uctuation is the greatest. This parameter is set at the factory at a preset nominal temperature. The temperature of the water exiting the integrated brew group is held constant by means of the mass of the group casting. Even though the temperature of the water may vary slightly, the temperature of the water exiting the group is constant. To properly calibrate the temperature of any espresso machine it is important to measure the temperature of the water exiting the group by means of an external temperature measuring device.

It is possible to regulate the pressure of the steam boiler by pressure switch. Rotate the screwdriver clockwise to increase the pressure, vice versa to decrease. 12EN
