4. USE

4–1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before connecting the machine,
make sure that the mains power
voltage is the same as the one
indicated on the data plate located
under the base of the machine.
4–2. INSTALLING COMPONENTS
• Place the grid (8) on the base of the
product, making sure that the notch
faces towards the body of the machine.
• Screw the knob onto the lever by
turning it clockwise.
4–3. STARTING THE MACHINE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
• Unscrew the boiler cap (3) by turning it
anticlockwise.
• Prepare a solution of water and two
teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda in
a container. Wait for the bicarbonate
of soda to dissolve completely; then
pour the solution into the boiler
(9). Alternatively, instead of using
bicarbonate of soda, prepare a
solution of water with one tablespoon
of white vinegar in a container and
pour it into the boiler.
• Make sure that the lever (1) is down; if
necessary pull it down fully.
• Screw the boiler cap (3) onto the boiler
by turning it clockwise and make sure
that the cap and the steam knob (4) are
properly closed.
• Place the filter holder (10) into the
group head (11) and secure it by
moving it from right to left.
• Insert the power plug into an electric
socket having a suitable voltage.
• Place the switch (6) to ON and wait
for the machine to reach the required
pressure (approximately 5 minutes).
• Place a container under the group
head (11) and slowly lift the lever (1)
until it is fully raised. Hold it in this
position in order to discharge all the
water contained in the boiler.
• Next, switch the machine off and
remove the plug from the power
outlet. Turn the steam knob (4)
anticlockwise and wait until all the
steam has been discharged from the
steam pipe (12).
• Fill the boiler again with clean water
and rinse the inside of the machine
to eliminate any residues left by the
solution.
4–4. STARTING THE MACHINE
• Fill the boiler (9) with a sufficient
quantity of water for the amount of
coffee you wish to make.
The water should not exceed
the top of the level glass (5) and
should not fall below the lower
part of the level glass.
• Press the switch (6). It will light up to
indicate that the machine is powered.
At the same time, the indicator light (7)
will also switch on to indicate that the
heating element has been activated.
• When the pointer of the pressure
gauge (13) reaches the green zone,
slowly open the steam knob (4) by
turning it anticlockwise to discharge
the "false pressure caused by air left
in the boiler. Then close it by turning
it clockwise and wait for the pointer of
the pressure gauge to move back into
the green zone.
• The machine has now reached the
correct pressure and is ready for use.
• It is normal for the light (7) to
switch on and off. This is due
to the pressure switch that is
automatically regulating the
pressure of the boiler.
