Operation Manual

NOTE: be sure to store the screw in a place where it will not be lost. If you ever decide to plumb
the machine, that screw will be necessary for proper operation. Do not leave the screw loose in the
machine. Do not tape the screw inside the machine.
NOTE: DO NOT fill the reservoir at this time.
To Finish Preparing the Reservoir:
1 Be sure that the particle filter is properly installed on the end of the
hose. It simply pushes on. The hose should be inserted about half-way
into the filter as seen here.
2 Drop the hose into the reservoir
and position it so the filter lays on
the bottom.
NOTE: Get into the habit of regularly checking the water level in
the reservoir. All the water to make espresso, dispense hot water,
and to make steam have to come from the reservoir. The water
level needs to be checked before every session, and depending
on how many beverages you are making, sometimes even during
sessions.
Preflight Check
BEFORE plugging the machine in or turning it on, do a double
check:
• Place the power switch in “Position 0”
• Verify that both the steam valve and hot water valve are in the closed
position. Do not tighten them until the handles stop. The seals inside are
quite soft and the valves do not have to be fully tightened to seal.
CAUTION: Repeatedly over-tightening the valves fully will shorten the life of the internal seals.
• Be sure that the reservoir is properly set up, the hose is in the reservoir, and that the particle filter is in place.
Do not fill the reservoir at this time.
• Verify that the lever beneath the machine is pointing to the RIGHT (hot water valve side of the machine).
• Verify that the drip tray is in place, and that the drain line for the drip tray has been properly located if you
chose that option. If you are not using that option, be sure the brass plug is properly installed in the drip
tray.
CAUTION: Be sure to use a grounded outlet and plug the machine into a surge suppressor with
a protection level of at least 1040 Joules. Damage to the machine caused by power surges is not
covered by the warranty.
WARNING: For your personal protection the machine must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI
(ground fault interrupter).
Powering Up
1 Plug the machine in
2 Turn the Power Switch to “Position I.”
CAUTION: If the PID display does not illuminate or shows odd, unreadable characters which do
not clear in a few seconds, turn the power switch to “Position 0,” unplug the machine, and contact
your reseller for technical support.
