9. Safety devices
9.1 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.
9.2 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 1,8 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.
