SAFETY AND TOOLS
Safety Precautions:
Espresso machines have numerous potential hazards, and it is of paramount importance to
Synesso that people servicing our machines take all necessary precautions to ensure their
personal safety. Please note and follow the safety stickers on the machine.
When working on the machine’s boilers (unless otherwise instructed in the directions):
•Turn the machine off and shut off the incoming water supply.
•Depressurize the boilers (the steam boiler can be depressurized by opening both steam
wands, and the coffee boilers can be depressurized by shutting off the water and heat-
ing element breaker and turning the group top to the pre-infuse position.
When working on any electrical wiring (unless checking voltage or amperage readings or
otherwise instructed in the directions) ensure that the machine is switched off at the electri-
cal box and the machine is unplugged.

Water Requirements
Proper water filtration and regular filter changes are a requirement to keep your factory
warranty valid and your machine functioning properly. It is highly recommended that you
contact a professional water filtration specialist in your area and have your water tested
to determine the proper filtration system.It is important to note that many municipalities
change their water sources throughout the year, so periodic water tests may be necessary.
Water Standards to keep your warranty valid:
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 30 to 200 ppm (parts per million)
Total Hardness - in ppm Less than 85 ppm
Total Hardness - in grains 3 to 5 grains (divide ppm by 17.1 to get grains)
pH 6 pH to 8 pH
Chloride 0 ppm - any Chlorides can be corrosive and harmful
Total Alkalinity Less than 100 ppm
Chlorine 0 ppm
Iron 0 ppm

INSTALLATION
To maintain the warranty, an authorized espresso service representative must per-
form the installation of the Cyncra™ espresso machine.
Site Preparation
The Cyncra must be placed on a level horizontal surface that can be easily cleaned and is
capable of sustaining the weight of the machine, grinders, and associated equipment (see
specifications for acutal weights of machines).
The surface depth should allow for a minimum clearance of 1” behind the Cyncra and 3” in
front.
Make a 2 ½” round hole through the countertop, 4” from the back center of the machine.
This should provide ample room for the hoses and electrical lines.
A 3/8” cold water supply line with a shut off valve is needed within 5’ of the machine, prefer-
ably located directly underneath the Cyncra.
A proper water filtration or softening system must be installed for this espresso machine.
Types and sizes of the water treatment systems will vary. It is important to use a system
designed to match the needs of your specific area. Most water filtration systems require
periodic maintenance, cartridge or filter replacement. This is vital to the proper functioning
of the machine and the quality of the espresso served. Follow the instructions provided by
your water treatment system for proper installation.
Note: Improper water filtration can result in water damage inside the machine causing scale
and corrosion. THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
There must be adequate room underneath the Cyncra to locate the motor and pump. This
should be within 5’ of the cold water supply line. The pump may need periodic adjustment,
so easy access should be available. The pump and motor should have proper ventilation
and a minimum of 3” clearance on all sides.
Dimensions of the pump and motor are:
6 ½” Height x 5 ½” Width x 9 ½” Depth
A floor drain or sink should be readily available. The best location is directly under the
installation site of the machine.
An electrical receptacle and matching plug, rated at the proper voltage and amperage is
required within 3’ of the location of the machine.
INSTALLATION

Plumbing Instructions
This equipment is to be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state or local plumb-
ing codes.
Connect the 3/8” compression fitting of the provided stainless steel braided hose to the
connection from the filtered, cold water line.
Fittings on the hoses are 3/8” compression type fittings, thread sealant or Teflon tape is not
necessary. Make connections snug, but do not over tighten.
Turn water ON and check for leaks.
The ¾” inside diameter clear vinyl ribbed hose connects the outlet fitting of the drain box to
the drain (located on the right hand, bottom, rear corner). Run this hose to the floor drain or
floor sink.
NOTE: The Cyncra requires a minimum of 35 PSI of line pressure to have the steam tank
auto-filling system function properly.
Electrical Instructions
After you make sure your receptacle and circuit are for the proper voltage and amperage
rating (see specifications chart on page 9) for your model, install a matching plug on the
power cord provided with the Cyncra.

Make sure that the On/Off electronics switch (red rocker) and the heating element breaker
on the Cyncra are in the OFF (0) position, then plug the power cord into the receptacle.
IMPORTANT - If the voltage on the receptacle used is less than 210 Volts, it may be
necessary to install an inline Buck-Boost transformer to increase this voltage.
•1 and 2 Group 220 Volt Machines require a 1.0 KVA transformer
•3 Group 220 Volt Machines require a 1.5 KVA transformer.

Start-Up Instructions
1. To fill the coffee brew tanks, turn the water ON.
2. Switch the electronics On/Off switch to ON. This activates the machine’s water auto-
fill feature for the steam tank and the electronics, but NOT the heating elements.
3. The water level sight glass for the steam tank is located
on the right side of the machine. As the tank fills, the
water level will rise in the sight glass and will automati-
cally stop when the preset level is reached.
4. Turn the brew group to the BREW position, (see sketch
on the right) allow the air to escape and return the brew
group to the OFF position.
5. Make sure the water level in the sight glass reads at
least ½ full and then turn the heating element breaker to
the ON or (1) position.
6. To adjust the pump pressure, activate the pump infusion
by turning the brew group to the BREW position.
7. Locate and read the pump pressure / brew gauge.
8. Set the pump pressure to 9 Bar. To do this, locate the
pump adjusting screw on the right side of the brass
pump housing. Loosen the lock nut and turn screw with a screwdriver.
•Clockwise to INCREASE pressure
•Counterclockwise to DECREASE pressure
9. Please allow at least ½ hour of “warm up” time before using your Cyncra espresso
machine to brew shots or steam milk. The steam gauge should read a minimum of
1.1 Bar.
Unplugging EMC Compliant Machines
(C-Tick for Australia and NZ, CE for Europe)
To comply with EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) regulations, Synesso is required to
install a capacitor in the electronics box across the main power IN. To avoid an electric
shock from the charge held in the capacitor, leave the electronics ON/OFF red rocker
switch in the ON position when unplugging the machine. When the electronics “go
dark” or OFF, the charge has dissipated.
