3.6 Electrical connection

Instructions for a proper electrical connection of the espresso coffee machine:
-
Before connecting the unit to the electrical mains, make sure that the data on the data plate corresponds to the electrical mains.
-
The tag is located on the left side of the machine (and can be accessed by removing the lower tray).
- The electrical system provided by the client must comply with current standards. The power socket must be equipped with a working earth connection. LA SAN MARCO SPA will not in any way be held liable if legal requirements are not met. An improper installation can cause injury or damage for which the manufacturer cannot be held liable.
For the electrical connection, it is necessary to install an omnipolar main switch upstream of the power supply; this switch should be rated according to the electrical characteristics (power and voltage) shown on the rating tag. The omnipolar switch must disconnect the power supply with a contact gap of at least 3mm .
If it is necessary to use adapters, multiple plugs and extensions, only products meeting applicable safety standards must be used. - To avoid any overheating of the power cable, unwind it completely.
Connect the power cord to the electrical mains as shown in the attached diagram:

3.7 Connection to the equipotential clamp

The machine is provided with an equipotential clamp placed under the tray and the bottom support cup grid.
The terminal is identified by the equipotential symbol reported here on the side.
Connect only cables of 2.5mm to 6mm with ring lugs for screw M8

The connection to the equipotential clamp must be performed by LA SAN MARCO SPA authorized qualified personnel.

To make the connection remove the bottom tray. On the left side of the frame, indicated by the equipotential symbol, there is the screw-clamp to be used to connect a cable of 2.5mm to 6mm with ring lugs for screw M8.
4. Start-up

-
The coffee machine must be started by qualified technical personnel approved by La San Marco.
-
Once the electric and hydraulic connections are completed, the user is urged to start the espresso coffee machine with the following procedure in order to avoid damaging the appliance.
4.1 Charging the water in the boiler
1) Check that the machine main switch 1 (figure 1) is in position 0 (zero).
2) Remove the tray and the cup support grill and make sure that:
a) The boiler drain valve a is closed (figure 8).
b) The taps of the automatic level valve b-c must be open (figure 8).
c) The taps for the volumetric counters e-d must be open (figure 10).

Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10

3) Open the water supply on-off valve.
4) Open a steaming tap 6 (figure 1) to allow the exit of the air in the boiler filling phase.
5) Reinstall the tray and cup support grill in its place.
6) Turn the knob of the main switch to position 1 so as to carry out automatic filling of the boiler with water. When water reaches the level probe, filling stops and the blue "OK" LED of the electronic level control comes on.
Note:
when the boiler is filled with water, it may take longer than 200 seconds, after which the automatic level alarm trips (see the chapter on display of alarms). If this happens, turn the main switch to 0 (zero) and then back to 1. Then perform automatic filling of the boiler again (as described in point 6).
To keep the automatic level alarm from occurring, just speed up automatic filling of the boiler using the manual filling button f (figure 8).

The main switch can be turned to two positions (1 and 2). Position 1 starts the electronic automatic level function to fill the boiler and excludes the operation of the heating elements. Position 2 starts the heating elements to heat the water. Never start the coffee machine by turning the main switch to position 2 (in order to work, the heating elements must always be immersed in the water).
5. Adjustments

Any adjustments to the coffee machine must be carried out by qualified and authorized staff from LA SAN MARCO SPA.
5.1 Adjustment of the boiler water level probe
The level probe is normally placed in a standard position for all models of the TOP 85 series. However, if the client so desires, it is possible to increase or decrease the amount of water in the boiler by adjusting the level probe as shown in the figure.

5.2 Calibration of pump pressure
a) Once the boiler is filled, turn the main switch to position 2 (the heating elements start to heat the water).
b) Press the continuous-feeding push button for the manual serving machines or the push button for the electronic machines with automatic serving, so that the water flows out of the unit corresponding to the pressed button.
c) Read the water pressure value on the lower part of the pressure gauge. The optimum pressure is 9 bar.
The pressure is adjusted to the desired value by operating on the pump screw: the pressure is increased by

turning clockwise; it is decreased by turning counterclockwise. As shown in the following figure, there are three different cases for adjusting this screw, depending on the pump installed on the machine:
- adjust only the screw
- adjust the screw and lock it with the lock nut
- unscrew the cap nut and adjust the screw.
5.3 Adjustment of steam pressure in boiler
The steam pressure in the boiler is shown on the upper graduated scale of the pressure gauge B (figure 13). The lower graduated scale indicates the operating pressure of the pump. To change the pressure of the liquid-saturated steam mixture inside the boiler, you will need to vary the temperature as explained in the programming chapter.

Figure 13
5.4 Adjustment of temperature of dispenser groups
In models TOP 85 (except for models TOP 85 DTC) the temperature can be adjusted for the serving of es- presso coffee without changing the internal pressure of the boiler. At the head of the serving group, there is a valve (flow rate variator) positioned at the top of the brewing unit adjusts the flow of hot water arriving from the exchangers; this valve can be accessed from the top by removing the upper protection from the units, removing the 2 screws (figures 14). Four numbers are printed above each unit (2-3-4-5) in correspondence of each brewing unit (figure 15). The valve is normally set to number 3 (this is the default setting provided by LA SAN MARCO SPA). If you want to change the serving temperature, you will need to use the valve (flow variator) of the group. To increase the temperature, turn the valve towards the higher numbers. Contrarily, to decrease, turn the knob towards lower numbers.


Figure 14

Figure 15
5.5 Additional notes for models TOP 85 DTC (Dual Temperature Control)
The cooling system of the models TOP 85 DTC has the purpose of ensuring thermal stability of the water used for serving espresso coffee. This system uses a special serving group in which the cold water from the mains passes through a small tube located in a compensation chamber. The hot water from the heat exchanger of the boiler passes through the serving group and comes into contact with the cooling tube. As a result it loses heat.


6. Operating instructions

During the flow of espresso coffee, tea or steam, these substances can cause burns due to accidental skin contact.
Each brewing unit has a pushbutton panel with five buttons (four for the programmed doses and one for manual doses. While brewing, a luminous bar appears on the display that simulates the progress of the coffee dose. The duration of brewing in seconds is always shown on the display.
Note:
Make sure that serving into the cup has taken place correctly. If serving has not occurred correctly, see the chapter "PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS".
6.1 Serving of espresso coffee
1) Remove the filter-holding cup from the serving unit and fill it with a dose of ground coffee (filter cup with one spout) or with two doses of ground coffee (filter cup with two spouts). Press the ground coffee using the relative coffee presser and then insert the filter cup into the serving unit.
2) Place one or two cups under the serving spouts.
Brewing is always enabled and does not depend on the boiler temperature or the water level in the boiler, except in the case of the maximum boiler level (brewing is not possible in this case).
After applying the filter holder cup to the unit, press one of the five buttons for the unit to be used:
| Short programmed single dose |
| Long programmed single dose |
| Short programmed double dose |
| Long programmed double dose |
| Manual continuous dose |
Programmed dose brewing
The LED relative to the button of the preselected dose will flash while the coffee is brewing. The other buttons will remain lit with a fixed light. When brewing is complete, the light on the selected button will again be fixed. Press the selected button again if you want to stop the programmed brewing before the dose has been reached.
Brewing coffee in START-STOP mode
By pressing one of the continuous dose buttons, the LED for the selected button will flash while the coffee is brewing. The other buttons will remain on with a fixed light during the brewing cycle.
To stop the continuous brewing, STOP the dose by pressing the selected button again.
Brewing in continuous mode is stopped automatically (if not stopped manually) when the maximum product quantity of approx. 0.5 litres is reached.
Note:
The dosing makes it possible to brew coffee in all units at the same time.
Each group has a push-button dispensing with five buttons (four for the programmed doses and one for manual doses. On display also is a bar graph that simulates (filling) the amount of coffee when making coffee.
6.2 Drawing steam
A jet of steam, which can be used to foam milk or to heat other liquids, comes out of the steam drawing spout as follows: by raising or lowering the lever you attain the maximum flow (the lever stops in the maximum position. To stop the flow of steam, place the lever back in its original position).

The steamer must be used with care: the contact of the skin with the steam spout or with the jet of steam itself can cause serious burns. Grip the anti-burn sheath to change the position of the steam drawing spout. Never aim the jet of steam at persons or at objects which do not have to do with the use as described in this manual.
Note:

The continuous flow of water from the unit can cause burns due to accidental skin contacts.
6) Stop the water supply and lock the bowl in the group.
7) Start the continuous delivery and then stop after a couple of seconds and repeat this a few times (so that you clean the drain channel and the solenoid valve of the dispensing unit).
8) Clean the filter drilled and put it back in the cup. Supply water for a couple of seconds to clean the filter, the cup spouts.
9) Repeat the same operation on all groups dispensing.
Note:
Special commercially available detergents can be used to effectively clean the serving units.
12.2 Cleaning the tray and the cup support grill
The lower cup support grill 5 must be kept clean at all times; during the normal use of the machine, it is sufficient to clean it with a sponge or a moist cloth. At the end of the working day, clean the tray and the grill also in the internal areas using warm water and neutral detergent.
12.3 Cleaning the steam spout
Clean the steam spout with a sponge or a moist cloth at the end of the working day to remove all traces of milk or other substances that inevitably form during the normal operation of the machine. Open the steam tap, placing the spout in the tub, to remove any residues which may have accumulated in the spout.
12.4 Substitution of boiler water
To change the water inside the boiler, proceed as follows:
1) Cut off the power supply to the machine by turning the main switch 1 to position 0 (zero).
2) Remove the tub and the cup support grille and open the boiler drain tap.
3) Open a steam drawing valve to facilitate the draining of the water until the end of the operation.
4) When water no longer comes out of the boiler, close the boiler drain and the steam drawing tap.
5) Charge the machine with water following the instructions of paragraph "Charging the water in the boiler".
6) To improve product quality, it is recommended to replace the water in the boiler and to change the water contained in the water circulation pipes when starting the machine every day.
13. Idle periods
If the machine is to remain idle for long periods (weekly closing days, holidays, etc.), take the following precautions:
1) Turn the main switch to 0 (zero) and as necessary disconnect the power cord or the main switch of the electrical mains.
2) Close the cut-off valve of the water mains.
3) If you think the temperature might drop below 5^ , completely drain the water system of the machine.
4) Wash the components of the machine as described in the paragraph on routine maintenance.
5) Cover the machine if necessary.
14. Safety devices
14.1 Manual reset safety thermostat
The safety thermostat is located next to the control unit and can be accessed by removing the left side panel from the machine. The thermostat probe, placed inside the electric heating elements, cuts the electric power supply any time there is an abnormal increase in temperature. The heating elements will no longer hear the water in the boiler and it will not be possible to use the machine correctly. Contact a technician from the LA SAN MARCO SPA technical service centre.

The safety thermostat will have to be reset by the specialized technician LA SAN MARCO SPA, who must first remove the cause of the malfunction.
14.2 Safety valve
The safety valve is installed on the upper part of the boiler, in the part corresponding to the area occupied by the steam. The valve is activated if there is a considerable pressure increase inside the boiler. The valve rapidly lowers the pressure by expelling the steam in the atmosphere (the valve trips in at 2 ÷ 2.5 bar). If the safety valve trips in, the steam is held and dissipated inside the machine frame, so as to avoid hazards for the persons around the machine.

In case of activation of the safety valve, switch off the machine and immediately contact the specialized technician. If the safety valve is set off, switch the machine off and immediately contact the authorized La San Marco technician.
15. Information for users in the european community

- In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU, abusive disposal of the product by the user will result in application of penalties as set forth by local law.
16. General warranty conditions
- The warranty lasts 12 months starting from the date of the invoice.
- For warranty the free substitution of the components of the machine are intended, which have to be recognized by La San Marco to have manufacturing defects. The warranty applies only to the original components, and it falls in case of the use of unoriginal components or of an the machine itself.
- The warranty doesn't apply to the substitutions or to the reparations that result by a normal functioning usury of the device, from deterioration or accidents provoked by a negligence or carelessness in the use.
- The electric parts, and all the parts that result to be defective because of damage linked to transport, wrong installation, bad maintenance operated by non authorized staff, by the missing or improper use of the water softener system or the water entrance filler, by the improper use of the machine or a different use from the one the machine was built for or, lastly, by circumstances that can't be attributed to manufacturing defects.
- The labour and the technical interventions linked to the installation of the machine, the parts subjected to normal usury and all the consuming material are excluded from the warranty service.
- The components are covered by the warranty only if they are rendered complete in all their parts, they must not result to be altered and the manufacturing defects mustn't be cancelled, removed or made illegible.
- The substitution of the machine and the extension of the warranty is excluded after a malfunction occurred. The reparation, change or substitution of the pieces during the warranty period can't have the effect to extend the warranty period. All the actions and claims are excluded from the warranty's coverage, especially those that tend to the reparation of the direct or indirect damage caused by people or other objects that are different from the delivered products, and also the refund of the eventual missed profits.
- La San Marco S.p.A declines every responsibility for eventual damage that could derive, directly or indirectly to people, animals of things as a consequence of the missing observance of all the prescriptions indicated in the user manual that accompanies every product and concerning, especially, the warnings about the installation, use and maintenance of the machine.
- The warranty concerns the free substitution of the defective pieces with the relative free dispatch of the pieces of substitution to the buyer; the warranty doesn't cover the labour. The dispatch of the defective pieces to the supplier is charged to the buyer.
- Every returned component of which the substitution covered by the warranty is asked for, has to be agreed with the client and approved by the commercial office of La San Marco to be accepted.
- La San Marco S.p.A declines every responsibility for eventual damage caused, directly or indirectly, from the improper use of the machine, from the wrong installation or bad maintenance, excluding what explicitly previewed by the law.
- La San Marco S.p.A doesn't answer to warranty conditions, beyond those listed, conceded by the importers/dealers to their clients. Also the obligations of labour are excluded from the warranty of La San Marco, travel and added costs relative to the reparation or substitution of the defective components of the machine.
- If, after a examination of La San Marco the returned component didn't result defective, the client will be charged with the management costs, technical control and possible tests. Also the charges for the shipping and the restitution of the material will be charged.
