Operation Manual

If 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 illuminated. Watch the pressure gauge, and after some pre-
heating time you will see it begin to rise indicating that pressure in the boiler is increasing.
CAUTION: Keep an eye on the steam wand and 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 appropri-
ately.
When the pressure indicated on the gauge is at about 1 BAR and the steam boiler 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 will be very close to the boiling temperature of
water. The water can cause very serious burns! Use extreme caution when dispensing hot water!
Open the valve slowly. The steam that comes from the vessel when dispensing hot water can be
dense enough to cause burns, and hot water which can splash can also constitute a burn hazard. Do
not hold the vessel using your hand while dispensing hot water!
When you have dispensed about eight ounces of water, shut off the valve, dispose of the water safely, and
wait for pressure to build again in the boiler. You may be aware of an odor in the water. That is normal the first
time the machine is used. Continue dispensing water in this way, carefully discarding the water each time,
until the odor is no longer present.
Now 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 encircled by
the vessel to catch the spraying water.
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 when opening the steam valve and when dispensing steam!
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, turn the power switch to “Position 0”, and contact your reseller for
technical assistance.
