I. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I.I. LEVEL OF TRAINING AND
KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED OF THE
TECHNICIAN
The Technician is a specialised person that
has been specially trained and authorised
to carry out the following operations in ac-
cordance with current regulations: transport
and handling, storage, installation, commis-
sioning, maintenance, decommissioning, dis-
mantling and disposal of the machine.
The Technician must be properly trained
and informed regarding any residual risks
present during these operations and while
the machine is operating.
The Technician must be able to apply all the
good practices in compliance with food hy-
giene principles.
Any unauthorised tampering with
any parts of the machine renders
the guarantee null and void and relieves
the manufacturer of any liability should
the machine malfunction or any user ac-
cidents occur.
I.II. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Even though the machine is provided with
all safety devices required to eliminate pos-
sible risks for the Technician, there are still
certain residual risks.
These so-called residual risks are related to
machine parts that may pose a risk to the
Technician, if used improperly, evaluated
or deactivated incorrectly, because the pre-
scriptions contained in this Manual were cir-
cumvented.
The machine is also equipped with appropri-
ate warnings placed on residual risk areas,
which must be scrupulously observed.
Attention must be paid to the residual risks
that are present during the operations de-
scribed in the following paragraphs as they
cannot be eliminated:
Compliance with the installation and ma-
chine’s safety standards is dependent on
the use, installation, maintenance and cor-
rect operation of the machine. These fac-
tors are the responsibility of the purchaser,
Technician and Technician’s employer.
The Technician’s employer is responsible for
hiring and training personnel to correctly in-
stall, run and perform maintenance work on
the machine and its protection systems.
I.III.TRANSPORT AND HANDLING
Hand crushing hazard
Handling operations must always and ex-
clusively be performed by the Technician
and in compliance with the current health
and safety regulations.
Before starting the transport and/or han-
dling manoeuvres, check the route, dimen-
sions needed, safety distances, places suit-
able for placing the load down, and the
appropriate equipment for the operation.
Handling operations must be carried out by
at least 2 people, or with the help of special
lifting equipment.
In view of the substantial weight of the equip-
ment, exercise great caution during the han-
dling operations.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
injury or damage caused by clothing, lifting
equipment and personal equipment which
was not suitable for the type of intervention
that the operator had to carry out.
The packaging material must not be left
within the reach of children, since it is a po-
tential source of danger.

TECHNICIANS' manual

I.IV.INSTALLATION
Electrical hazard
High temperature hazard
Risk of explosion
It is prohibited to perform mainte-
nance on moving components
Installation operations must always and
exclusively be performed by the Technician
and in compliance with the current health
and safety regulations.
The appliance’s water supply must provide
water which is suitable for human consump-
tion, and must conform with the regulations
in force in the place of installation.
The Technician must carry out the hydraulic
connections in accordance with the hygiene
and hydraulic safety standards regarding
environmental protection which are in force
in the place of installation.
To ensure electrical safety, the appliance
must be connected to an effective earth-
ing system, and the system in which it is
installed must be equipped with a suitable
differential circuit breaker, in compliance
with the safety laws and standards.
The effectiveness of the earthing system
and functionality of the differential circuit
breaker - both of which are fundamental
for guaranteeing the appliance’s electrical
safety - are the responsibility of the person in
charge of the electrical system on which the
equipment is installed.
The manufacturer cannot be considered re-
sponsible for any damage caused by an in-
adequate electric system.
Make sure that the electric mains power is
enough to supply the energy needed for the
machine to correctly operate.
The appliance installation operations must
be carried out with the electrical mains
switched off. To make the electrical system
safe and be able to carry out operations
when the machine is not powered, the Tech-
nician must apply the rules prescribed by
current technical standards (disconnect the
power supply, avoid reclosures, check that
there is no voltage, etc.).
I.V. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Electrical hazard
High temperature hazard
Risk of explosion
The only personnel authorised to
access the service area are those
who are knowledgeable about and have
practical experience using the appliance,
particularly in regards to safety and hy-
giene.
Maintenance and cleaning operations must
always and exclusively be performed by the
Technician and in compliance with the cur-
rent health and safety regulations.
The maintenance and cleaning operations
must comply with the safety regulations:
• Do not carry out maintenance work
when the machine in operation.
• Do not immerse the machine in water.
• Do not pour liquids onto the machine
or use water jets when cleaning.
• Do not allow maintenance and clean-
ing operations to be carried out by
children or incompetent people.
• Do not perform maintenance and
cleaning operations other than those
described in this manual.

cial care with the following:
• When indoors, always provide air vents.
• Check for any gas leaks.
• Do not under any circumstances at-
tempttolightthegaswithoutrst
installing the proper injector.
• Do not start up the gas burners when
the heating unit is empty.
Only perform the maintenance and clean-
ing operations indicated in this manual.
If the problem cannot be resolved, switch
off the machine and contact the Manufac-
turer.
All maintenance operations must be car-
ried out when the power supply has been
turned off, the water mains has been closed
off, and the machine has completely cooled
down.
After maintenance and/or repair work, the
components that are used must ensure
that the hygiene and safety requirements
initially provided for the appliance are still
met. These are met by only using original
spare parts. When components which come
into contact with water or food are repaired
or replaced, a washing procedure has to be
carriedout,asifitweretherstinstallation.

2.9.1 Heating unit
The heating unit is made of copper sheet metal (1). The heat
exchangers are assembled onto this unit and are in turn con-
nected to the dispensing group. The water used for dispensing
coffee is taken directly from the heat exchanger. During the
dispensing process, cold water is sent inside the exchanger
by means of the motor pump. Cold water and the pre-exist-
ing hot water are mixed together inside the heat exchanger,
in order to obtain the optimal water temperature for coffee
infusion.

1
Electric heating
The heating unit is electrically heated by an electric heating
element immersed in the water (2).
Gas heating
Gasheatingisobtainedbyfeedingtheburneramewhichis
located under the heating unit.
Electric + gas heating
In machines equipped with both systems, it is possible to
combine the two heating types.
2.9.2 Overow device
The cover installed on the pressure relief valve makes it possi-
ble to collect any water and steam which may leak from the
heating unit due to a malfunction and channel it to the drain
tray, via a special hose.
2.9.3 Pressure relief safety valve
The pressure relief safety valve has a calibration
of 0.19 MPa (1.9 bar) in order to ensure that the
pressure in the steam heating unit does not exceed
0.21 MPa (2.1 bar). Should a fault occur, the capac-
ity of the valve is such as to be able to eliminate all
the excess pressure in the heating unit.
The safety valve should be checked regularly as
indicated in Chap. "7. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING" on page 46.
Two safety valves are installed on all machines
with 4 groups.
2.9.4 Expansion valve + check valve
This is a valve consisting of an expansion valve and a check
valve.
• Expansion valve (A):
the cold water sent from the pump to the heat exchangers
is heated. This heating causes an increase in the volume
of water. To limit pressure increases in
the hydraulic circuit, the valve limits
the maximum internal pressure of the
circuit to 1.2 MPa (12 bar).
• Check valve (B):
its function is to prevent the water
from back-owing into the hydraulic
circuit exchangers.
2.9.5 Negative pressure valve
The purpose of the negative pressure valve is to pre-
vent liquids from back-owing through the steam
nozzlewhentheyarebeingheated.Furthermore,the
excess air inside the heating unit is removed during
the machine's heating phase.
2.9.6 Pressure switch
The pressure switch makes it possible
to control the heating unit pressure by
activating or bypassing the heating
element in the heating unit. Any pres-
sure switch calibration can be carried
out with the machine in operation by
turning the screw (6) located on the
body of the component.

2.9.7 LEVER group
The group lever uses the heating unit pressure and water. This
system does not require heat exchangers.
When the lever (1) is lowered, the spring (2) inside the group
is compressed: the piston (3) raises, allowing the water to en-
ter the pre-infusion jacket.
When the lever is released, the piston compresses the water
at 8-10 bar, allowing the espresso coffee to be dispensed.
The check ball valve (4)preventsthewaterfromowingback
into the heating unit (5).

2.9.8 Group with an EXTRACTABLE
exchanger
The dispensing group heating is provided by direct contact
with the heating unit. The water used to dispense coffee is
taken from a so-called "extractable" exchanger which is im-
mersed in the heating unit’s water:
• When the solenoid valve and pump activate, this allows
cold water to enter into the exchanger (1).
• The heating unit water is carried from the exchanger (1)
to the group (2) for dispensing.
• Thepump allowsthewaterow pressure to increaseto
0.8-0.9 MPa (8-9 bar).
The version of the extractable exchanger for the Italian mar-
ket does not include the suction hose (3) and seal (4).
If necessary, the exchanger can be replaced without having
toremovetheange:loosenthescrews,removethedispens-
ing group from the heating unit and remove the exchanger.
These operations should be carried out when the machine
has been switched off and has cooled down: always replace
the seals.

2.9.9 CTS group
(withathermosiphoniccircuit)
In this system, the dispensing group (1) is heated by a ther-
mosiphonic circuit (2) connected to the heat exchanger (3).
The same water is used when dispensing coffee, thus ensur-
ing that all coffees are the same temperature:
• The solenoid valve and the pump are activated in order
to send cold water into the exchanger (3) through the in-
jector (4).
• The heating unit water is carried from the exchanger (3)
to the group (4) for dispensing.
• Thepump allowsthewaterow pressure to increaseto
8-9 bar for dispensing.
The injector (4)andtheowreducer(5) are important com-
ponents for the dispensing group’s operation. To increase the
coffeeextractiontemperature,removetheowreducer(5) or
replace it with one that has a bigger diameter. To decrease
the temperature, replace it with one that has a smaller di-
ameter. If necessary, the exchangers can be replaced by re-
moving the ange and disconnecting the relative hydraulic
circuit pipes. These operations should be carried out when the
machine has been switched off and has cooled down: always
replace the seals.

2.9.10 Safety thermostat
The thermostat prevents any damage occurring to the elec-
trical heating element if there is no water in the heating unit.
The thermostat bulb (7) is located inside a sheath (8) in the
middle of the heating elements. The thermostat contacts (9)
are connected to the electric heating element (10). If the
electricheatingelementisexposedduetoafailuretollthe
heating unit with water, the temperature of the heating el-
ement increases dramatically. At this point, the thermostat
cuts the power supply to the heating element in order to pre-
vent damage occurring.

To reset the thermostat, press the centre button
(11). However, before starting the machine up
again, identify what prevented the water from
being fed into the heating unit.
2.9.11 Motor pump
This component feeds the machine
by increasing the water pressure to
0.8-0.9 MPa (8-9 bar) in order to dis-
pense coffee and automatically ll
the heating unit.
2.9.12 Electronic control unit
The electronic control unit is installed on the SAE versions.
Its purpose is to electronically control the cof-
fee dose via the water owing through the
dosing device and to check that the heating
unitisbeinglledwithwater.
Some versions of the control unit are set up
to be connected to the dispensing account-
ingsystemsbymeansofaspecicinterface
device.

2.9.13 Automatic Water Entry
The Automatic Water Entry system is designed to check the
water level in the heating unit. It consists of:
• A probe inserted into the heating unit (1) consisting of a
stainless steel rod.
• The standard control unit (2) on SAE versions and the elec-
tronic level regulator on the other versions (3).
• A hydraulic circuit with a solenoid valve controlled by the
regulator.
The electronic control unit controls the level of water in the
heating unit. When the level of water in the heating unit
drops, the contact with the probe is interrupted. The control
unit sends an impulse to the inlet solenoid valve and the mo-
tor pump, which are then activated until the normal level of
water in the heating unit has been restored.
To avoid any ooding caused by machine malfunctions or
water leaks in the circuit, the electronic control unit has a
“Timeout”featurewhichcutsofftheautomaticwaterlling
function after a certain time (2 minutes). The LED (4) located
on the front of the machine body comes on to indicate acti-
vation of this system. When installing machines with three
orfour groups,theinitialwaterlling timemayexceedthe
established timeout limit. Should this occur, simply turn the
machine off and then back on to restore normal operating
conditions.

2.9.14 Volumetric dosing
The volumetric dosing device that is installed on the SAE ver-
sions, measures the quantity of water sent to the group in
order to dispense coffee.
The dispenser generates elec-
trical impulses which are sent
to the electronic control unit.
These impulses are read by
the control unit and counted
while the dose is being pro-
grammed.
The ashing LED light (4) in-
dicates that the electrical im-
pulse has been sent from the
dosing device to the control unit.
2.9.15 Electronic pushbutton panels
The electronic pushbutton panels on the SAE versions allow
the coffee doses to be selected and programmed. They are
connected to the electronic control unit.
To use and programme these, please consult the user manual.
2.9.16 Cup warmer
The cup warmer device warms the cups before they are used.
In some versions it is possible to adjust the temperature by
following the instructions on the user manual.

2.9.19 Cappuccino maker (optional)
The cappuccino maker is installed on a steam nozzle. This de-
vice can both heat and froth the milk.
To adjust and clean the cappuccino maker, follow the instruc-
tions in the user manual.
2.9.20 Water lter
In the mains water, non-soluble salts are
present which cause limestone to form in
the heating unit and other parts of the
machine.
Drinking water can also contain heavy
metals and substances, such as chlorine
which are harmful to health.
The lter makes it possible to eliminate
or substantially reduce the presence of
these mineral salts.
Thecartridgecontainedinthewaterlter
must be replaced at the frequency speci-
edbythemanufacturer.
To use and maintain the water lter, follow the
instructions provided in para. "7.4 Water lter
maintenance" on page 49
2.9.21 Water softener
The resin softener can be used as an alternative to the water
lter.
This component has the property of retaining the calcium
containedinthewater.Forthisreason,the
resins become saturated after a certain pe-
riod and must be regenerated with coarse
kitchen salt (NaCl, sodium chloride) or spe-
cial water softening salt. It is very important
to regenerate the softener within the estab-
lished times. However, in locations where
the water is very hard, it will be need to be
regenerated more frequently. The same rule
can be applied to locations where there is
a large consumption of hot water (for tea,
etc.).
To use and regenerate the water softener, fol-
low the instructions provided in para. "7.5 Wa-
ter softener regeneration" on page 51.
