Installation
Preparation of the machine
The preparation of the coffee machine
and its installation must be performed by
qualified staff.
Starting the machine
Open the water tap of the water mains
and of the softener / water filter.
Turn the switch to position “1”
(electrical power supplied to the pump for
automatic boiler filling and machine
services) and wait for the boiler to be
automatically filled with water.
Turn the switch to position “2” (full
electrical power suppled, including the
heating element in the boiler) and wait for
the machine to warm up completely.
Wait for the pressure to reach its
operational pressure 1.1÷1.3 atm
checking the boiler pressure on the
gauge
Should the machine fail to stabilize on the
indicated values it is
necessary to calibrate the pressure
switch as described in calibration
paragraph.
Then check the pressure on the pump
gauge putting a unit into
operation with filter holder engaged filled
with ground, dosed and
pressed coffee in order to achieve an
effective working pressure of
8/9 atm.
Should re-calibration of the pump
pressure be necessary this
operation should be undertaken as
indicated in the “calibration” paragraph.
!
!
WARNING
Use of the machine without all the
installation operations having been carried
out by technical personnel could damage it
seriously.
WARNING
During the machine’s warm-up (roughly
20 minutes), the negative pressure valve
will release steam for a few seconds until
the valve itself closes.
Before using the machine, run deliveries
with the filter holder attached for a few
seconds to release any air which may be
in the circuit, so that the head groups are
completely heated.
The user must be provided with
instructions in order to use the machine
properly. It is recommended not to take
actions which may disturb the functions of
the machine.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED
ON, ITS BOILER CONTAINS STEAM

Calibration
Pressure switch adjustment
The pressure switch shown in the figure
acts to keep the
boiler pressure constant by engaging or
de-activating the electrical
heating resistance.
This pressure switch is already calibrated
to 1.1-1.3 bar during the
initial machine testing stage, but should a
different working pressure
be required, it is possible to vary the
operational field of the pressure
switch using the regulation screw (U);
pressure reduction results in
a reduction in temperature, whilst
increasing the pressure will also
increase the water temperature.
The regulation direction is shown in the
figure and on the pressure
switch itself.
The pressure varies by 0.1 atm for every
complete screw turn,
Pump pressure adjustment
Insert the filter holder into the unit filled
with regularly ground, dosed
and pressed coffee. Press one of the
coffee button and read the pressure on
the pump pressure gauge
NB: The correct pressure is of 8-9 atm.
Should the pressure indicated on the
pressure gauge be incorrect,
turn it clockwise to increase the pump
pressure and anti-clockwise
to reduce the pressure.
Once adjustment is complete check
pump calibration by delivering
one or more coffees.
Z= Pump pressure adjustment screw.

WARNING
Disconnect the electricity supply before
undertaking this operation.

Use and programming
Coffee Pouring
On pressing the corresponding button
T1-T2-T3 or T4, the corresponding
delivery solenoid valves are activated for
the time necessary to obtain the required
amount of product as previously
programmed (volumetric check).
The delivery in progress may be
suspended before actually reaching the
desired programmed product quantity by
pressing button T5 Stop.
It is also possible to obtain simultaneous
coffee delivery from all the machine
groups.
Continuously Coffee Pouring
For continuous coffee measure delivery
press button T5 from the keyboard
corresponding to the group head which
one wishes to operate. Press again the
same button T5 to Stop.
Pre infusion
Our software permits measure
configuration so that the relative delivery
of the COFFEE measures through
volumetric control is
preceded by pre-infusion. Delivery of the
coffee measure after time 1 (ON) is
suspended for a time 2 (OFF) and is then
resumed for the completion of selection.
On pressing one of the volumetric control
measure buttons, the normal delivery
cycle is preceded by a short timed water
jet in order to dampen the coffee before
actual delivery stage.
This function ensures the optimum
extraction especially for espresso
coffees.

Dispensing hot water
To dispense hot water , turn the tap knob
(W) counter -clockwise : the amount of
water which comes out of the nozzle will
be proportional to te opening of the tap.
Dispensing Steam
To dispense steam , turn the tap knob (S)
counter -clockwise : the amount of steam
which comes out of the nozzle will be
proportional to the opening of the tap.
The steam nozzles must be cleaned
immediately after use in order to prevent
the risk of the formation of any scale which
may block the holes and to ensure that any
drinks made subsequently do not absorb
any unpleasant odors.

Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT
For the 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 (F) and the relative filter
holders (G) must be cleaned daily in hot
water. The best thing to do is to let them
soak in hot water overnight so that the
fatty coffee deposit can dissolve.
It is advisable to special coffee machines
detergent to the water , and then to rinse
everything off with 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.
Showers
The showers (D) should be cleaned
weekly in hot water. To do this loosen the
screw (E) and remove the shower.
Steam Nozzles
The steam pipes must be kept clean all
the times. Check the ends of the steam
nozzle and clean them daily, clearing out
the exit holes with a small needle.
Filter Holder
It is advisable to leave the filter-holder
cups inserted with the coffee dregs for the
entire working day to ensure that the filter-
holder is always at optimum
temperature..
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.

Cleaning and maintenance
Group heads (back flushing)
The cleaning of the internal parts of the
delivery groups is to be performed weekly
in the following manner:
Insert the rubber blind filters (A) in the
filter-holders
Pour a teaspoon of a suitable detergent
powder on each of the blind filters and
attach the filter-holders to the groups.
Using the right-hand button panel, press
at the same time button T1 and T5 to
activate the automatic cleaning cycle.
The buttons T2 ,T3, T4 will light up.
After the 10th cleaning cycle on the right-
hand group, it will start a new cleaning
process in the left-hand group.
The cleaning cycle will stop automatically
or by pressing the T3 button.
Rinse out the unit using a normal filter and
then undertake a few dispensing
operations using water only. Then
prepare a coffee in order to eliminate any
detergent residue.
Machine maintenance
Periodically check the following items:
Check the pump pressure gauge which
should indicate a value between 8 and 9
bar. In case of malfunction, request the
assistance of technical personnel.
Check the pressure gauge, making sure
that the boiler pressure is 0.8 -1.2 bar.
Check the conditions of the filters for any
damage along the edges and see if there
are any coffee grounds in the cup. If
necessary replace the filters.
