Extra Information

4. With the left or right button you can move it up or down.
5. Once the desired value is reached, stop pressing buttons. The value will be memorized,
and the display will go back to show P.
To move to the next value:
1. Push the left button; display will show I.
2. Repeat steps 2 – 5 above.
Move on to D
Once done, push the left button again until F03 is displayed. Turn main switch off and back on.
The new parameters are now active in your PID.
NOTE for plumbed-in units ONLY:
After installing the water softener and a pressure regulator (where needed), the water gauge
(right gauge) should read 2-4 bars when idling. If your gauge reads above 4 bars, you must
install a water pressure regulator (before the water softener). Water pressure with the lever
activated (lifted into brewing position) should be 8.5 bars without the portafilter or with the
portafilter empty. If your reading is below or above 8.5 bars, you should adjust the PUMP.
(Again: this is for the pump, not the by-pass valve). Once you have the coffee grind correct, the
reading will be 9 bars (also with the blind filter).
To adjust Pump pressure:
1. Shut off water supply and unplug machine.
2. Remove the casing (6 screws).
3. Locate the brass cap nut on the pump (see picture).
4. Position a sponge or towel underneath the pump’s nut.
5. Unscrew and remove the cap nut (some water will leak).
6. Using a flat blade screw driver, turn the adjusting nut one
complete turn clockwise.
7. Reinstall the cap nut.
8. Open water supply and plug in machine.
9. Simulate a shot (with or without inserting the portafilter). The pressure should reach 8.5
bars. If not, repeat from step 1 and adjust pump screw until desired value is reached.
10. Once pump pressure is reached, insert the blind filter and simulate a backflush. At
approximately 9 bars, the bypass valve should open and release excess water into the
reservoir. If the by-pass valve opens before or after 12 bars and release water in to the
drip tray, adjust the by-pass valve following the main manual’s instructions.
11. NOTE: It is normal while pressure is building up (when the heating elements are
powered) the water pressure will reach 12 bar and the discharge valve will release
excessive water in to the drip tray.
