6.5 Replacing the water

• When the machine is being installed, the Technician must
replace the water in the hydraulic circuits as follows:
• When the installation is complete, the appliance must be
started, brought to the nominal working condition and
left in the "ready-to-operate" status for 30 minutes.
• Next, the appliance has to be turned off and fully emp-
tied of the first water introduced into the entire hydraulic
circuit, in order to eliminate any initial impurities.
• The appliance must then be filled again with water and
brought to nominal working conditions.
• Upon reaching the "ready-to-operate" status, the follow-
ing operations must be performed:
Continually dispense from each coffee group, in order
-
to empty at least 0.5 litres from the coffee circuit.
Empty the heating unit of all its hot water by continu-
-
ously dispensing through the specific nozzle.
Continuously release steam for at least 1 minute from
-
each steam dispensing point.
If the machine remains inactive for longer than a
week, the Technician must renew 100% of the wa-
ter inside the hydraulic circuits, as indicated
above.
Before using the machine, carry out some empty
dispensing cycles with the capsule holders at-
tached for several seconds in order to release any
air inside the circuit and in turn, allow the dispens-
ing groups to fully heat up.
• Before using the machine, dispense a few coffees to test
the grind fineness and to check the operating pressure
of the machine.
• Do not remove the filter holder from the dispensing
group when coffee is being dispensed.

6.6 Preparing the machine

6.6.1

Grinding and dosing coffee

It is important to have a grinder-dispenser next to the ma-
chine so that the coffee can be ground on a daily basis.
The coffee must be ground and dispensed according to in-
structions provided by the manufacturer of the grinder-dis-
penser. The following points should also be kept in mind:
• To make a good espresso, we recommend that you do not
store large amounts of coffee beans. Comply with the ex-
piry date indicated by the producer.
User manual
• Never grind large volumes of coffee, it is advisable to pre-
pare the amount that can be held in the dosing device
and if possible, use it by the end of the day.
• Do not buy pre-ground coffee, as it perishes quickly. If
necessary, buy coffee in small vacuum-sealed packs.

Dispensing compartment lighting

6.6.2

partment lighting on and off,
press the switch (3).
6.6.3

Raised cup grilles

When using cups with different heights, the special flippable
grilles that are supplied with the machine can be used.
To use the grille, unhook it from the latch and rotate it down-
wards into a horizontal position.
When it is no longer needed, push it upwards, until it latches
into place.
To clean the grilles, see paragraph "7.5.1 General instruc-
tions" on page 44.
