SOFTENER
Mains water contains insoluble salts, which cause the build-up of lime scale deposits in the boiler and in other parts of
the machine. The softener makes it possible to eliminate or substantially reduce the presence of these mineral salts.
The resin softener has the property of retaining the calcium contained in the water. For this reason after a certain
period the resins are saturated and are to be regenerated with coarse kitchen salt (NaCL, sodium chloride) or special
water softening salt. It is very important to regenerate the softener within the established times.
The regeneration is to be done regularly every 15 days. However, in locations with very hard water, it will be neces-
sary to regenerate more frequently. This rule applies also if there is a large consumption of hot water for tea or other uses.
Softener regeneration
Proceed as follows:
• Move levers (2) and (5) from left to right;
• Remove the lid by loosening the knob (1);
• Release enough water through the pipe (3) to make room for the amount of salt as required depending on the
model (see table);
• Clean any salt or resin residue from the gasket located on the lid;
• Put the lid back in place by screwing the knob (1) down securely and move the lever (2) back from right to left;
• Let the salt water drain from the small tube (4) until the water is no longer salty (about 30-60 minutes). The salt
allows the accumulated mineral salts to be released;
• Bring the lever (5) from right to left back to its initial position.
In order to keep the softener and hence the ma-
chine in perfect operating condition, it is necessary
to perform regeneration periodically, based on the
quantity and the hardness of the water used from
the mains.
The table alongside shows the values of the quan-
tity of softened water, based on the hardness of the
water in the various units of measure:
- F°: French degree
- D°: German degree = 1.8 °F
- mg CaCO3

The build-up of lime scale in the hydraulic circuit and boiler inhibit thermal exchange, thus compro-
mising proper operation of the machine. Heavy incrustation in the boiler may cause long machine
shutdowns and in any case invalidate any guarantee, because this symptom indicates that regenera-
tion has been neglected.

6 CLEANING
For perfect cleaning and efficiency of the appliance, several simple cleaning operations are necessary on the functional
parts and accessories as well as the body panels. The indications given here are applicable for normal use of the coffee
machine. If the machine is heavily used then cleaning should be performed more frequently.
Filter and filter-holder
The filters and the relative filter-holders must be cleaned daily in hot water. The best
thing to do is to let them soak in hot water overnight so that the oily coffee deposits
can dissolve.
It is advisable to add a specific detergent into the water, and then to rinse everything
off with fresh water.
Failure to clean the filters and filter-holders daily will compromise the quality of
the coffee and will also cause problems such as bad extraction and coffee grounds
at the bottom of the cup.
Perforated disk and containment ring
Both the shower plate (1) and its containment ring (2) should be cleaned weekly
in hot water. To do this,take off the screw (3) and remove the two elements from
the dispensing unit.
Steam nozzles
The steam pipes must be kept clean at all times. Check the ends of the steam noz-
zles and clean them monthly, clearing out the exit holes with a needle.
Brewing groups
Cleaning of the internal parts of the brewing groups is to be performed weekly as following:
• Replace the filter from the filter-holder with the blind one supplied by the manufacturer;
• Pour a teaspoon of a suitable detergent powder on the blind filter, and attach the
filter-holder to the group;
• Use the manual delivery switch to set the group in operation;
• Repeat the above operations until the water comes out clean;
• Turn off and remove the filter-holder from the group;
• Rinse a final time, so as to remove any residual detergent.
Body
The body panels should be cleaned with a cloth soaked in warm water. Do not use abrasive detergents since the panels could
get scratched.
Grinder doser
Clean weekly the hopper and the doser with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water, both inside and out.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure perfect safety and efficiency of the machine over time, it is necessary to carry out maintenance. In particular,
it is advisable to ask authorized personnel to carry out an overall check of the machine at least once a year.
Coffee machine
Check the following on a regular basis:
• check pump pressure with a pressure gauge.It should indicate around 8-9 bar. In case of anomalies contact
• also with the pressure gauge, check the boiler pressure, which should be about 0.8-1.2 bar. This may also require
the assistance of authorized personnel, in case of anomalies;
• check if there is damage to the filters’ edges and check if coffee grounds are getting into the cup.
If necessary replace the filters.
Grinder doser
Check the following on a regular basis:
• Check the dose, which should be about 6-7 gr. at a time and adjust the amount as necessary;
• Always monitor the degree of grinding and modify as required;
• Check the wear of the grinding blades. They will need to be replaced if there is too much powder in the ground
coffee (the grinders usually last for about 600 kg of coffee).
Water softener
Do the following on a weekly basis:
• Perform regeneration of the softener (for the softener in the manual version);
• Check there is salt in the container (for the softener in the automatic version);
Cappuccino maker
Use special care in cleaning the cappuccino maker, following these procedures:
• Initially wash it by placing the immersion tube in water and run a delivery
for a few seconds;
• Turn the rotating body (1) 90° to pos.B (milk outlet tube closed);
• Holding the immersion tube in the air, dispense steam (cappuccino maker
dry run);
• Wait about 20 seconds to allow for internal cleaning and sterilization of
the cappuccino maker;
•
Close the steam and put the rotating body back in pos.A ;
• If the air intake hole (2) is blocked, clear it gently with a pin.
It is advisable to clean the cappuccino maker after each period
of continuous use so as to avoid malfunctions and to ensure the
hygiene of the system.

8ADVICE - HAZARDS
To obtain a high-quality coffee, it is important that the hardness of the water used does not exceed 4-5 °F (French
degrees). If the water hardness exceeds these values, it is advisable to use a water softener.
Avoid using a water softener if water hardness is less than 4 °F. If the taste of chlorine in the water is particularly strong,
a special filter should be installed.
It is not advisable to keep large stores of coffee beans. Never grind large amounts of coffee. Use the amount the
doser holds and if possible use it by the end of the day. Never purchase ground coffee as it expires quickly.
After the machine has not been used for a period of time (2-3 hours) make a few dry runs.Be sure to carry out
regular cleaning and maintenance.
This chapter describes possible hazards for the user if the specific safety standards described in this booklet are not
adhered to.
The appliance must be connected to an efficient grounding system
If this is not done, the appliance can be a source of dangerous electrical discharges so that it is no longer able to dis-
charge electricity to earth.
Do not use running water to wash the appliance
The use of pressurized water directly on the machine can seriously damage electrical appliances. Never use water jets
to wash any part of the appliance.
Be careful with the steam nozzles and hot water
During use, the steam nozzles and hot water may overheat, thus becoming a source of danger. Handle such parts care-
fully. Never designate steam or hot water jets directly on parts of the body.
Do not work on the machine when it is supplied with electrical power
Before carrying out any intervention on the machine you must turn it off by means of the main network switch or bet-
ter yet, disconnecting the connection terminals in the network. Never remove any body panel when the machine is
supplied with electrical power.
Never work on the hydraulic system before having emptied it
All actions on the hydraulic system and the relative boiler are to be avoided when there is still water and pressure in the
system. You must therefore empty it beforehand, closing the mains knob and dry-running the delivery group for a short
time. Switch off the machine and open all the steam and water knob and taps. With the pressure zero, empty the boiler
completly, unscrew the special pipe fitting situated on the lower part of it.
If the above procedure is not correctly carried out, opening any part of the hydraulic system can cause a sudden outlet
of overheated water under pressure.
Use of the appliance
This espresso coffee machine is an appliance exclusively for professional use. Any other type of use is considered wrong
and therefore dangerous. Never allow children or incapable persons to use the machine.
Non-observance of the above-described standards can cause serious harm to people, property or animals.
Never work on electric components unless the main switch is off or the machine unplugged.
Shut down the machine completely by unplugging it from the mains before carrying out any operation.
