The installer must read this manual closely be-
fore start-up.
The operator should be an adult and fully com-
petent person.
Should any anomaly occur, please contact your
distributor.
Start-up
Check that the voltage is the same as that indi-
cated on nameplate of the machine.
z Machine connected to the mains supply,
connect to the drainage pipe 2 .
Connect the machine to the water supply via
the flex,
19 leaving the tap open.
z
Machine with tank , fill the tank on the side
with a minimum of 3 litres 16 .
z
For both models
Connect the machine to the mains power sup-
ply and start up by turning the ON/OFF switch
0
to position 1 (coffee only) or 2 (coffee and
steam). The general ON/OFF pilot light will
come on
00 . Connect the coffee groups using
the switch (1).
Once this process has finished, the machine
will prepare itself for operation: The S-L-XL
buttons
8 will light up alternatively, indicating
that the coffee group is heating. Once it has
reached the preset temperature, all three will
remain lit.
Note. The buttons 8 on each coffee group
will only be lit if the ON/OFF switches for 1
each group are switched on. If not, the S-L-XL
buttons will remain unlit.
If the general switch 0 is in position 2, the
boiler pilot light
4
will be lit, indicating that
the boiler is heating the water, until the ma-
nometer shows a pressure level of approx-
imately 1.5 bar
7 . The boiler will be ready
to provide hot water and steam in about 20
minutes.
It is common for a little water to come out of the
nozzle
10
after setting the steam function run-
ning. We therefore recommend that you place
the nozzle in the drainage tray
15 .
Attention
If, for any reason, water does not reach the
boiler, the left-hand button will flash and the
machine will stop working.
In both cases, disconnect using the switch
and check the water supply, either from the
mains supply or manually fill, reconnect the
machine by turning the general switch to po-
sition 1 or 2.
We recommend using water with
a low mineral content. The quality of the
water will affect the taste and quality of the
coffee as well as help avoid future malfunc-
tions. Check out our special anti-limescale
filters (optional).
