Installation
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state or local plumbing
codes having jurisdiction.
The manufacturer has tried to foresee all possible safety devices to ensure the safety of the users.
Anyhow different conditions of installation or of equipment moving can cause situations which cannot
be controlled or foreseen. Therefore it’s absolutely necessary to evaluate all remaining risks and to
care about the following:
•Installation and maintenance MUST be carried out by technicians and service providers
authorised by the manufacturer.
•Do not leave such packing items as plastic bags, Styrofoam, nails, etc. around because children or
other people could get hurt or damaged.
•Any defect or discrepancy has to be notified immediately to the authorised persons for installation
and maintenance.
•This machine is safe only when it has been correctly connected to an efficient grounding /earthing
system, implemented in accordance with the current safety regulations.
•All electrical connections have to be effected exclusively by authorised and qualified technicians.
Any improper cable connection is forbidden.
•Check the integrity of all components and do not install defective or damaged parts. Ask for
replacement.
•Check that capacity of the electrical system is sufficient for the maximum rated power shown on
the data rating plate of the machine.
•The customer has to protect the electrical feeding of the machine by means of a safety switch
system.
•The machine has to operate with clean soft drinking water. Building up of scale will seriously
damage this equipment and can also cause injuries.
•Before installation, the manufacturer strongly recommends to control the water supply system and
the electrical connections.
•Check the mains water pressure which should not exceed 3,5 bar (0,35 MPa); otherwise it is
recommended to install a water pressure reducing valve. The minimum water pressure should be
at least 1,5 Bar (0,15 MPa).
•The machine must be installed with an electrical switch with adequate fuses and safety devices.
•Check the efficiency of the main drain. Then proceed with the connection of the water drain hose
to the machine. Check again pouring an adequate quantity of water directly into machine’s drain
tray (located under the drip tray).
•This equipment must be installed on a flat, level and stable surface.
•Handle the machine with care.
•The machine has to be used with soft clean drinking water. If necessary install a water filter.

Programming product keys on Raffaello Megaline A 1 and Raffaello Megaline A 2
Raffaello Megaline espresso machines allow automatic portion control of coffee and hot water.
Automatic portion control means that all coffee and hot water product keys (“buttons”) dispense a
programmed quantity of coffee or hot water whenever you press them. You do just start (pushing the
key) the dispensing and the machine will stop the process by itself.
Programming of the product keys is typically done when installing the equipment. Programming can
be done anyhow at any time.
How to proceed:
Automatic
coffee portion
control keys
Program and semi-
auto portion control
key
Automatic hot
water portion
control key
1. Push “P” key (program and semi-automatic portion control key) and keep it pressed until the
LEDs of all keys start flashing.
Now press and release the product key to be programmed. The LED of this product key will be on
(but not flashing), while all the other LEDS are off.
2. The product (coffee or hot water) will be dispensed.
3. When you’re done, press the product key you’re programming again. The dispensing is stopped
and the LED of this key is off while the LEDs on the other keys turn on and flash. From this
moment whenever this programmed product key is pushed the preset quantity will be dispensed.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

2 group machines: once the left hand (seen from operator) group has been programmed,
automatically the same portions per key are programmed on the other group. You can of course
proceed to a dedicated programming of second group. This might be useful if you need two different
hot water portions. So you can set a different hot water portion on each of the two hot water buttons
(one on every touchpanel).
We strongly recommend doing the programming under working conditions.
Example: when programming the portion key for product key “1 small espresso” (ristretto), put the
one cup filter basket into the filter holder, fill it with the adequate quantity of correctly ground coffee
and tighten the filter holder firmly into the group. Place a cup under the group.
Now proceed programming this product keyt as explained above.

Start up
We assume that the equipment has been properly installed according to local law and jurisdiction by
an ECM authorized and qualified technician and is ready for use.
Please proceed as follows:
One group Raffaello Megaline machines (Raffaello Megaline A 1 and S 1)
On/off switch on Raffaello Megaline A1 and S 1
Heater switch on Raffaello A 1 and S 1
Double pressare gauge. Shows boiler pressare
and pump pressare
1. Turn on/off switch on. The control lamps “machine on” (fig. A-2) and “boiler filling”
(fig. A-3) will light. You’ll hear the pump filling automatically the machine’s boiler. When
control lamp “boiler filling” (fig. A-3) switches off, the boiler is filled.
2. Now turn the heater switch on. Wait till the boiler pressure shown on the machine’s pressure
gauge (see above) has reached app. 0,9 bar. Now open one of the steam valves for a couple of
seconds and close it again. The boiler pressure shown will decrease. Please wait until machine
reaches again app. 0,9-1,1 bar. Now the equipment is ready to operate.

Raffaello Megaline Espresso Coffee Machine
Brewing ONE cup of coffee
1. Use one cup filter handle (with 1 spout) and the one cup filter basket.
2. Position the metal
one cup filter basket firmly inside the filter holder
3. Pour
one measuring spoon (app. 6,5-7 g) of ground espresso coffee into the filter basket
4. Tamp the ground coffee gently.
5. Tighten the filter holder firmly into the brewing head (Fig. A-12).
6. Position one cup under the filter holder spout.
7. Push the “P” button for semi-automatic dispensing or one of the automatic coffee portion
control keys to start dispensing the coffee. With the automatic coffee portion control keys the
dispensing will stop automatically while when brewing with “P” button you need to press the
button again to stop dispensing when you’re done.
8. Remove and serve the cup.
9. Remove the filter holder from the brewing head, knock the used coffee grounds out and clean
the border of the filter basket (inside the filter holder) with a clean non abrasive damp cloth.
This will increase the lifetime of the group gaskets.
Caution: the metal parts of the filter holder and the basket can become very hot.
10. Tighten the filter holder with the basket again into the group. This will keep the filter holder
warm.
