1.4 Safety warnings
We recommend you consult the technical manual of the machine before performing any mainte-
nance work.
Observe all applicable standards relating to the repair of electrical appliances.
Always disconnect the power plug from the mains before beginning repair work.
Always disconnect the power plug from the mains before beginning repair work.
Simply turning off the main machine power switch is not an adequate safety precaution.
This domestic appliance is rated as insulation class I.
On completion of the repair work, insulation and dielectric rigidity tests must be per-
formed.
Disassemblingthemachine,theoperatormustpayattentiontohotandunderpressure
parts:boiler,pin-boiler,valves,dispensing,steamtube,brewunit,connectionsandpipes
to avoid burns.
Pleaserefertospecichydrauliccircuit(Image1)toknowthepartsindetail.
The machine hydraulic circuit can reach maximum pressure of 16/18 bar.
To operate in safety condition is recommended to perform the Steam Out procedure in
order to remove the pressure and hot water inside the hydraulic circuit.

Thetemperatureisinuencedbytheowfromthedispenserandstraticationoftemperaturesin

incontrolledconditions,belowguidelinesmustbefollowed:
Conditions:
a) Water temperature in tank: 23°C (+/-2°C).
b) It must be used a plastic cup (see picture N°1).
c) It must be used a thermocouple thermometer (e.g. type K - see picture N°2).
d)Thecoffeemachineistestedwithoutanychangeofparametersorcalibrations,whichmay
affectthetemperatureofproducts,sothemeasurementoftemperaturemustbedonewith
machine in default factory setting.
Procedure:
1.Thetemperaturemust be measured in the cup,immediately after dispensing.Cuphastobe
placed on a non-metal surface using a thermocouple thermometer (Picture 1).
2. The temperature in the cup is measured by immersing the probe of the thermometer up to touch
the bottom.The probe then must be moved in a circular motion for 5/6 rotations. At the of the rota-
tions,stopinthecenterofthecup(Picture2).
3.Thehighesttemperaturemeasuredduringtherotationsisthevaluewearesearchingfor,and
that must be reported;
4. Test measurement: from end of dispensing to the end of rotations must be completed within 12
seconds.
5. the distance of the probe from the bottom of the glass is a function of the quantity of coffee dis-
pensed: 10mm for 35gr - 17mm for 60gr - 35mm for 120gr and superior (Picture 3).

Tocarryoutthetest,apartiallyskimmedUHTmilkwithapercentageofgreasebetween1.5-1.8%
at a refrigerator temperature Trefr. (between 4 to 10°C) must be used.
The milk product must be checked on a beaker of 250 ml of capability and with an inner diameter
of70mm,brewing100grofproduct.
Parameters to be respected:
The parameters to be respected are: milk temperature and height of the cream. Each of these pa-
rameters,however,mustbeevaluateddependingonthetypeofsystemusedfortheproductionof
hot milk. Actually three types of devices are present on the appliances:
• Manual system (pannarello)
• Semi-Automatic system (cappuccinatore)
• Automaticsystem(carafe,Pinlesswondersystem,etc.)

How to measure the milk cream.
The temperature (Trefr or Tamb) of the milk doesn’t affect as much the test result on measuring the
milk cream; by convection is assumed to always use milk at refrigerator temperature Trefr..
Manual systems (Pannarello)
Pour 100cc. of milk at Trefr. in a beaker of 250 ml of capacity and with a inner diameter of 70 mm;
with machine in steam mode:
1. Openthesteamknobtodischargerwatercircuitfor4sec,thenclosetheknob.
2. Placethebeakerwiththefrotherdippedinmilk,openthesteamknobtomaximumandstart
the chronometer.
3. Afterabout30to60seconds,closetheknobandchecktheresultonmilk.
Semi-automatic systems (cappuccino)
Pours milk at Trefr. in a container ; with the machine in steam mode:
1. Open the steam knob to discharge water circuit for 4 sec. then close the knob.
2. Insertthesiliconetubeinthemilkcontainer,placingabeakerof250mlcapacityandwithan
inner diameter of 70 mm under the cappuccino maker and open the steam knob.
3. Afterhavingprovided100gr.ofproduct,closetheknobandchecktheresultobtainedonmilk.
Note: The same applies to machines which have a steam key on the user interface and a sole-
noid valve in place of the steam tap.
Automatic: Carafe, Cappuccino Pinless wonder e.g.:(New Royal, Energica Pure, Intelia
EVO Latte), etc..
After setting the machine to delivery of 100gr. of product:
1. Launch the “hot milk” function.
2. Collecttheproductinabeakerwitha250mlofcapacityandwithaninnerdiameterof70mm,
and verify the result obtained on milk. Carry out the test using milk at a Trefr..
Incasethemachineallowsmodifyoftheemulsionthroughthemenu,usethemachinewiththe
emulsion set to the default value.
Related to the above testing procedure derives the following table of acceptability:
