TECHNOLOGY
Our aim
We have usedthe best materials and processes to ensure customer’s satisfaction.
Heat exchangesystem
Thesystem for instant heating of the cold waterwith which the coffee is made usesa
special processwhich guarantees quality and reliability.
Internaldesign
Themachine is continuously ventilated, regardless of the number of cups on the cup tray. It provides
thermal protection to theelectronicsystemand the pump unit.
Electronic
Theelectronic system performsmost of the controls.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Only I Luv Coffee After Sales Service or its distributor are authorized to carry out the servicing of Life
coffee machines.
Please post thisnotice next to your machine.It will thus be readily available for consultationby users as
need be.
Reneka International declines all responsibility for any damage that may arise as a result of failure to
maintain the machines as need be, of inappropriate operations on the machine, or from the use of non-I
Luv Coffee parts.
I LUv Coffee reserves the right to carry out any desirable modification without notice so as to update the
product to meet market requirementsor make technical improvements.
SECURITY
During installation of the machine, check that the cup holder is at a minimum height of 1,20 meter above the ground
The machine should be placed on a horizontal surface, enough stable and sturdy to bear its weight, in a sufficiently
ventilated atmosphere, so that there is no danger from the humidity caused by the machine.
Leak enough space around the machine so that air circulates around it.
Air admission louvers of the machine should not be obstructed by towels etc.
The supply cable should not be in contact with the source of heat nor should it be hanging from the surface on which the
machine is placed nor be crushed by the machine.
Do not immerse all or even part of the machine.
Do not place the machine in an area where there may be projections.
Set the ON/OFF machine on “O” (Off) before moving the machine and before plugging it out.
Leave the machine to cool down and plug it out before taking on any repairs on the machine.
Do not use the machine for any other use except for that for which it is meant.
4

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by ourafter-sales
service or persons with similar qualifications, to avoida potential
danger.
Use the machine for the purpose it is intended.
Room temperature should be between 5°C and 45°C to allow proper operation of the machine.
Avoid all contact with the hot zones (cup tray, brewheads, hot water and heating outlets).
The machine should not be exposed to freezing, in case of danger of frost, place the machine away from freezing area.
The sound pressure level is less than 70 dB.
Avoid exposure to steam and hot water projections.
The machine is not suitable for outdoor use.
The machine should not be cleaned by water jet.
Do not use the machine if there are children nearby.
The machine should not be used by children.
USE OF SOFTENED WATER
Whatever water treatment method is used, it is important that the coffee machine operates on a permanent basis with water at
a maximum of 7 °TH (resin softener) or 3° KH (Water and More).
Lime scaling, whether due to poor functioning or bad maintenance of the water treatment systems, gradually limits the
performance of the machine and the quality of the coffee obtained while increasing the exploitation costs and the technical
risks.
Important: Problems connected with scaling are not covered by the guarantee and/or themaintenance
contracts. It istherefore important to regenerate your softener every 2weeks, in thecase of aresin softener.
In the case of Water&More watertreatments, refer to theinstructionsof your installer.

2. Producing coffee
HOW TO MAKE AGOOD ESPRESSO
The coffee
Two types of coffee :
 Arabica : beans are flat, elongated. It has a subtel aroma and a sweet flavor, tasty and perfumed. It is
the most common coffee and has a low caffeine rate.
 Robusta : beans are rather convex, rounded. It contains more caffeine, which gives a full-bodied taste to
the coffee and provides a thick cream. It contains about twice more caffeine.
To make agood espresso, you need:
 A fresh ground coffee.
 A well-adjusted grinder:
→If the ground coffee is too fine, the cream is thin and uneven.
→If the coffee is too coarsely ground, the espresso is too « light ».
 Have the right dose of coffee: 7 grams for 1 cup.
The temperature
 The cups must be hot (40° C). Serve the coffee quickly once it has been made.
Put the appropriate
dose of coffeeinto the
filter. Pressthe ground
coffee and remove any
possible tracesof coffee
powder from the egde of
the filter with the palm
of the hand.
Connect the filter holder to
the brewheadand Placethe
cup(s) under the pouring
spouts.
Selectthe desireddose.

5. How to use the Barista Steam (emulsion/heating milk)
For an optimal system Barista Steam use, it is advisable to usefresh milk at the ideal
temperature of 5 ° C. How to adjustthedensity of thefoam
It is possible to adjustthe density of the foam by acting on the adjusting
screw (see photo). If youturn the adjustment screwclockwise: finer
foam.
If youturn the adjustment screwcounterclockwise: thickerfoam.
