Operation Manual

When the pressure indicated on the gauge is at about 1 BAR and the heating element
activity light goes off, place an appropriate vessel under the hot water wand and slowly
open the valve. Hot water should issue forth from the wand.
WARNING: The water from the hot water wand can be dispensed with great pres-
sure. It will be very close to the boiling temperature of water which can cause very
serious burns! Use extreme caution when dispensing hot water! Open the valve
slowly and carefully. Less then ½ turn of the valve is sufficient. The steam that
comes from the vessel when dispensing hot water can be dense enough to cause burns, and hot
water that splatters can also constitute a burn hazard. Never hold the vessel with your hands while
dispensing hot water!
When you have dispensed about six to eight ounces of water, shut off the valve, dispose of the water care-
fully and safely. The pump will run to automatically refill the boiler. The pressure gauge will indicate a drop
in pressure. Wait for pressure to build again in the boiler.
You may be aware of an odor in the water that was just dispensed. That is normal the first time the ma-
chine is used. Repeat the dispensing of about six to eight ounces of water in this way, waiting for the boiler
to refill and for pressure to build up in the steam boiler, and carefully discarding the water each time. Repeat
until the odor is no longer present in the dispensed water.
When the odor is gone, repeat this using the steam function. Once again, with a suitable vessel under the
steam wand, slowly open the steam valve and allow a good amount of steam to escape. When first opening the
steam valve it is normal for some hot water to spray out. Be ready with a suitable vessel held with the wand
well enveloped by the vessel to catch the spraying water. The use of a steaming pitcher, held by the handle is
advised.
WARNING: The steam from this machine is very powerful and has the potential to cause very seri-
ous burns almost instantly. The steam wand will become very hot during use and will stay very hot
after use. Use extreme caution, and open the valve slowly and carefully when dispensing steam! A
spurt of hot water can also come from this wand when first opening it.
After about twenty seconds or so, close the steam valve and wait for pressure to build again. Repeat this
until the steam loses any unnatural odor.
CAUTION: Check under the machine once again to verify that there are no leaks. If any leaks are
noticed, unplug the machine and turn the power switch to “Position 0.” If the source of the leak is
not easily found, contact your reseller for technical assistance.
NOTE: If you are plumbing the machine to an external water source, go to Chapter 11. Users who
will continue to use only the reservoir to supply water to the machine may now go directly to
Chapter 12.
