Start up

The espresso machine SOPHIA is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state or local plumbing codes having jurisdiction exclusively by authorised technical service.

Open the water tap and switch on the main electrical switch (fig. 1-7) from position 0 to position 1.

At power-on, the metering check the present of display (that shows "Select Drink") and the state of the level and safety probes, depending on the conditions detected, it excites if necessary(no water) the filling-up solenoid valve and pump until the correct water level is restored.

If the levels are correct, or after they have been restored, the metering is in STAND-BY mode (all the leds result to be on) and clear for the coffee doses' selection or their programming.

Turn the on/off switch on position 2 to begin the heating. The pilot light (fig. 1.7) switches on. Wait till the boiler pressure has reached the working pressure (1 bar approx). You can check it on the gauge (fig.1-6).

Open the steam tap (fig. 1-1) for some seconds and then close it. This operation avoids milk sucking in the boiler.

As the above operation causes pressure reduction in the boiler, wait till the working pressure is reached again.

Your machine is now ready to work.

Operation

Automatic dispensing of espresso

The keys A B C D (coffee doses) F (hot water/tea) are used for automatic dispensing of espresso/tea.

Automatic dispensing means that the operator presses one of the four keys or the water/tea key, to begin the supply from the related group, the led will be on (display shows "Pouring Espresso" or "Pouring Tea Water"). When the programmed quantity of coffee/hot water in the cup is reached, the machine stops "automatically" the dispensing, the leds result to be on and the machine will be in STAND-BY mode.

Any coffee or water/tea dispensations in progress can be stopped before, by pressing any doses keys (A B C D) or water/tea key on the keyboard to the operating group.

The machine can delivery at the same time coffee/tea from all the groups.

A B C D E F

S.V.ITALIA s.r.l. SAB

Continuous coffee dispensing

Starting from the STAND-BY state, press (for a time less than 5 seconds) and then release the "E" button and the machine will start the delivery from the group which you pressed the button, activating the solenoid valve and pump, the led of the pressed key will be on.

The display shows "Pouring Continuous"

To stop the dispensing, press any key of volumetric dose on the group that is in delivering, the dose will be stopped and the machine turn back in STAND-BY mode and the leds result to be on.

Steam dispensing

The hot steam is dispensed from the steam wand.(fig. 1-5) by turning the steam handle (fig.1-1).

Caution: The wand becomes extremely hot during steaming and can cause burns. Do not touch !!

Press within 30 seconds (programming time-out) any of the keys related to the 4 programmable doses (A B C D) or tea dose (F), the machine begin to dispense and the key "E" led remains light on together with the key dose in programming. The display shows "Programming Espresso" or "Programming Tea Water"

When the desired quantity is reached, press any of the coffee keys or the tea/water key on the keyboard related to the group under programming to stop the dispensation. The new dose value is memorized, at the same time the led related to the programmed dose switched off, while the remaining leds light blinking, it is possible now to proceed with the other doses' programming without repeating the entering procedures.

The display shows "Programming Select Within30s"

Repeat the steps to program the other doses.

Note: By programming the touch pad on left side of the machine from operator side, the same quantities are automatically set on the other touch pads.

If you want to program the other touch pad with different quantities, it is necessary to repeat the programming sequences on the second touch pad.

To exit programming phase without waiting the 30 seconds time-out expiring, press "E" key.

During the programming of one group, the others groups and tea dispensations remain disabled.

Pre-infusion

The metering can be configured so that brewing precedes the volumetric coffee doses (A B C D) dispensation, the normal dispensing cycle is preceded by a short-timed water jet used to humidify the coffee pod before the real dispensation takes place.

To enable this feature: the machine is off, turn on it while holding pressed the "A" key on the keyboard on the left side of the group operator, to confirm the correct procedure, the led "E" will be on. Turn off and then turn on the machine and bringing it in STAND-BY mode.
