4.1WATER QUALITY
4.2 WATER SOFTENER
A softener is included with the machine.
•Remove the softener from the protective packaging.
•Rinse the softener under cold water.
• Place the softener on the bottom of the reservoir and fill with water.
Please check softener packaging for further instructions including expected life of the softener.
In order to prevent limescale from damaging and clogging the interior of your machine, it is important to fill the water
reservoir with soft water.
You can test the hardness of your water using simple test strips. The target water hardness for espress machines is less
than 50 parts per million (ppm) or 3 grains per gallon (gpg). If your results are high you can high-quality carbon filter or
charcoal filtration system to soften the water.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not use distilled or deionized (reverse osmosis) filtered water in any espresso machine. This type of water cannot be
detected by the components and causes serious malfunction of the equipment.
If using bottled water in your machine, check that the mineral content is less than 50ppm and ensure that the label doesn't
say the water is distilled or deionized.

5. FILLING THE WATER
T ANK
•Remove the drip tray (7).
•Then remove the container (8) and fill it with cold drinking water.
•Fit in the water tank (8), pushing it in as far as it will go, and place the drip tray (7).
WARNING!
•Plug the appliance into the mains power; the power control light (D) will flash to show that the appliance
is connected to the mains electricity (Stand-by).

S1 MINI VIVALDI
12
•Press and hold down the buttons ON/OFF (E) and hot water delivery (C) together until water begins to come
out of the delivery group.
•During this stage, the control lights to signal no water (H) and the power control light (D) will flash
and the pump will operate.
•Release the buttons ON/OFF (E) and hot water delivery (C) to stop the boiler filling cycle. The
appliance will automatically return to Stand-by mode.
6. SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE
•Press and hold down the button ON / OFF (E) for about 3 seconds; the red control light (D) will go from
flashing to lit to show that the appliance has been switched on; at the same time, the control lights from
85° C will 120°C switch on for about one second (electronic system check).
•The control light for the set temperature value will start to flash to indicate that the coffee delivery group
is heating up and the automatic boiler refill will be activated until the water level set by the manufacturer
has been reached.
•Once the filling stage is complete, the boiler control light (D) will begin to flash, indicating that the
boiler is heating up. The first time that the machine is switched on, this will not be enabled until the
group reaches the set temperature.
• Attach the ortailter (4 ) to the group ea .
Wait until the appliance reaches the set temperature, making sure that the control lights on the control panel
(I) switch on progressively as the temperature increases. This starts as soon as the temperature reaches the
minimum setting, with the switching ON of the control light 85° C, and it will proceed until the appliance
operating temperature has been reached (the control light goes from flashing to lit).
When the group reaches the set temperature, the boiler heating function is enabled. Once it reaches the set
temperature, the control light will stay lit.

S1 MINI VIVALDI
13
Every time that the temperature of the group or boiler drops below the set temperature, the control light for the
operating temperature will start to flash (appliance heating phase), until the set temperature is
reached.
•The appliance is now ready for use.
WARNING!
The boiler is activated by pressing the button “BOILER” (G). To deactivate the boiler, press and hold down the same
button for 3 seconds. When the boiler is switched off, it is not possible to dispense hot water for infusions or to
dispense steam.
TAKE NOTE!
The Boiler status is stored to memory.

6.1 COFFEE PREPARATION
• Unfasten the ortailter (4) from the brewing group and ensure filter aset is in lace .
• Fill it with ground coffee, (using the coffee doser provided) making sure not to leave coffee powder
on the upper edge of the ortailter (4), and press it with the suitable coffee tamper provided.
• Reattach the ortailter (4) to the group ea so that it is secure but not excessively tight.
• Place one or two cups below the ortailter (4)
• Press the button corresponding to one cup (A) or two cups (L) to start the delivery. Once the quantity of coffee
programmed is reached, the delivery automatically stops.
TAKE NOTE!
If you want to stop te sot eore te rogramme olume is reace press the same
button again A or L.
WARNING!!!
While the machine is in operation, check frequently the filling level of the drip-tray (1) and,
if necessary, empty it out.
6.2 POURING HOT WATER FOR PREPARING INFUSIONS
•Place the pitcher below the hot water output (9).
• Press the hot water delivery button (C).

S1 MINI VIVALDI

•The hot water delivery starts (at this stage the pump is working).
•Once the desired quantity is reached, stop the delivery by pressing the same button (C).
6.3 STEAM DELIVERY
•Insert the steam wand (8) in the pitcher containing the drink to be heated up.
• Pus steam leer (2) u to actiate.
• At the end of the heating phase of the drink, stop the steam delivery ulling steam leer ac on

6.4 ECONOMY MODE
This mode is meant for less frequent uses of steam and water for infusions, in fact priority is always given to
the heating of the group for coffee delivery rather than to the heating of the boiler.
In this way the two heating-elements are never fed at the same time, with a consequent remarkable power
saving.
In order to activate this mode press button boiler (E) and keep it pressed for about 10 seconds, the red light
F turns on. To deactivate it, follow the same procedure again, until the light F turns off.
WARNING!
This mode can be activated on appliances with the following voltages: 230 V 115 V with 20 A plug
It is not possible to activate the ECONOMY mode on appliances with the following voltages
115 V with 15 A plug.

7. OPERATING TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
•While the appliance is operating, press and hold down the button ON//OFF (E) for about 3 seconds.
The power control light (D) and the control light for the set
temperature will flash. For example, if the
set temperature is 95°C, the control light (15) will flash.
•
To set the operating temperature in 5-degree increments, proceed as follows:
Press and release the hot water button (C); each time the button is pressed, the temperature will be
increased by 5°C (and the relevant control light will start to flash).
When the maximum temperature of 120°C is reached (control light 20), the selection function will return to the
minimum temperature of 85°C (control light 14) (cyclical operation).
•Once the
required temperature has been selected, press the button
ON/ OFF
(E) to confirm the setting,
and the appliance will return to normal operation.
The operating temperature of the machine can be modified to improve the flavor profile of the coffee according to
individual tastes.
The recommended brewing temperature range for espresso coffee is 92 to 96 degrees celcius.

17
S1 MINI VIVALDI
To adjust the operating temperature by single degree increments, proceed as follows:
•
Switch off the appliance by pressing the button ON/OFF (E); the red control light (D) will go from lit to
flashing (machine on stand-by).
•
Press and hold down the two-cup button (L) for about 3 seconds; the control lights 100°C and 105°C will
switch on to indicate that the settings phase is in progress for intervals of 1°C.
•
Each time that the boiler button (G) is pressed, the control lights 18, 19 and 20 will switch ON in succession
and each control light indicates an increase of one degree centigrade compared to the set temperature.
Each time that the one-cup button (A) is pressed, the control lights 15, 14 and 13 will switch on and each of
these control lights indicates a decrease of one degree centigrade compared to the set temperature.
For example, if the set operating temperature is 95°C and the control lights 18 and 19 switch on, the set
temperature will become 95 + 2 = 97°C.
Once the required temperature has been selected, press the two-cup button (L) to confirm the setting.
Hold the ON/OFF button (E) for 3 seconds to return machine to operating mode.
