Extra Information

NOTES regarding the steam boiler: it takes about 5 minutes for the steam boiler to reach

temperature. The steam boiler also provides hot water to the water spout. During warm up, it is

normal to hear the anti-vacuum valve hissing until enough pressure has built inside the boiler to

shut the valve.

8. Once the pre-set pressure has been reached, the pressurestat will terminate power to the

heating element and the left light will go OFF. Let out a couple of steam bursts and you

are ready to steam milk.

Thanks to the double-boiler technology, there are separate circuits within the machine for heating

the brew boiler and the steam boiler. Personally, I recommend leaving the power switch in

position “I” (thus NOT connecting disengaging the steam heating element) unless you are

preparing to steam milk or lengthen shots with hot water (Americano).

There are a few advantages to leaving an unused steam boiler off:

• Less maximum electricity consumption (600w versus 1600w)

• Less heat dispersion into the ambient

• Less wear and tear on some components

• Safer if you intend to put your machine on a timer.

PID Function:

Although the PID is pre-set by the factory, one convenience of the double boiler machine is that

you can customize your brewing temp without sacrificing steam pressure. (PID vs. pressurestat.)

WARNING: you can really mess up the settings, so if you have to change some parameters, make

sure you jot down the original settings in your owner’s manual before following these steps:

Changing from C to F or vice versa:

1. Turn the machine off

2. While holding both buttons of the PID (- & +), turn the machine back on.

3. Keep holding the buttons. The display will show the software version (ex. 1.00)

4. In 3 seconds, the display will show F03. You are now in programming mode.

5. Release both buttons and push the right button until the display shows F.

6. Stop pushing buttons. After 3 seconds, the display will go back to F03.

7. You are now in F. Turn machine off and back on.

To scroll from F to C push the RIGHT button until the desired value is shown.

WARNING: IF YOU TOUCH THE LEFT BUTTON WHILE IN PROGRAMMING MODE,

YOU WILL MODIFY THE PID PARAMETER, MAKING THE MACHINE FUNCTION

IMPROPERLY.

IF you must modify the PID values, then once in the F03 mode:

1. Push the left button; display will show P.

2. Once P is displayed, push the right button.

3. The set value will show (ex 1.8).
