Operation Manual

NOTE: Glance under the machine occasionally for signs of water leakage. If water shows under the

machine, ﬁrst unplug the power cord and then turn the machine off before assessing the situation.

If the source of the leak cannot be determined and eliminated, contact your reseller for assistance.

Damage caused by water leaks is not covered by the warranty.

WARNING: Water leaking from the machine may indicate a hazardous situation exists. Discontinue

use until the cause is determined are mitigated.

Brew Boiler Warm Up

WARNING: In normal use the group will become very hot. Parts of the metal can be over 200 F.

(93 c.). Touching the group, even brieﬂy, can cause serious burns. Use great caution around all hot

parts of this machine!

When water came from the brew boiler it signiﬁed that the pump had done its job and the brew boiler is

ﬁlled to capacity. Allow the machine to heat up. The temperature of the brew boiler is indicated on the PID’s

display, and that temperature should be increasing by now. When the PID display reads around 200 F. (around

93 c.), do another check for leaks, and if everything looks dry, lift the brew lever to the brew position and run

about 16 ounces through the group. Catch some of the water in a suitable container and check the water for

any unnatural odors. Repeat the ﬂushing of water through the group until any odors are gone.

NOTE: It is necessary to ﬂush out the brew boiler to remove any contaminates or bad tastes and

smells from the manufacturing process that may linger. This will take approximately 16 ounces (.5

liters), or maybe a bit more. Be sure to check the reservoir’s water level.

WARNING: In operation the water that comes from the brew group can be over 200 F. (93 c.). Seri-

ous burns can result from contact with this water. Use caution!

Steam Boiler

Now that the brew boiler is operating correctly and has been ﬂushed clean, it is time to do much the same

for the steam boiler. Check that both the steam and hot water valves are closed, check the water level in the

reservoir, and turn the power switch to “Position II” for the ﬁrst time. You have now energized the steam

boiler’s heating element which supplies steam to the steam valve (on the left front of the machine) and hot

water to the hot water valve (to the valve on the right front of the machine)

NOTE: Remember to check the water level of the reservoir.

Keep watch as the steam boiler warms up. It takes about ﬁve to ten minutes. You

may notice some sounds during this time as the water in the steam boiler heats. A bit

of hissing early until the vacuum relief valve closes is normal. This steam and pos-

sibly a small amount of water is vented into the drip tray through the metal tube on

the left side of the back of the tray.

While the heating element in the steam boiler is energized, the indicator on the

far left side of the front panel, next to the steam boiler’s pressure gauge, will be il-

luminated. Watch the pressure gauge, and after some preheating time you will see the

gauge begin to rise indicating that pressure in the boiler is increasing.

CAUTION: Keep an eye on the tip of the steam wand and the outlet of the hot

water wand. If they begin to dribble or hiss, tighten the appropriate valve

just tight enough to ensure that the ﬂow of steam or hot water stops.

WARNING: The valve bodies as well as the steam wand and hot water wand

can be hot enough to cause serious burns. Get into the habit of assuming

that they are hot and handle them appropriately.
