5 FIRST USE
5.1 First use
Read the instruction manual carefully, prior to operating the machine.
Prior to starting the machine, check if:
•
The steam and hot water valves are closed.
•
The machine is switched off. (On/Off dial in position 0.)
Now you can start up your machine:
Switch the rotary dial to position 1, so that the boiler is filled. The boiler is filled as soon as the pump stops. Now
switch the rotary dial to position 2. This makes sure that the machine is filled with water only when heated up. Press
the Star-buttons of each brew group to release water.
5.2 Programming of the dosage
To program the doses, proceed as follows:
Choose a porta filter and fill it with the desired quantity of ground coffee for the button you would like to program
(e. g. filter 1 cup for porta filter 1 cup: 7 - 9g coffee, button no. 1). Place a cup under the porta filter.
Please note:
When the left control panel is programmed, the right control panels is automatically
programmed/overwritten synchronously. If you would like to program the control panels individually, it is mandatory
to start programming with the left control panel and then proceed to the right panel.
1
Clamp the porta filter into the brew group.
2
Press the Star-button until the button flashes.
3
Choose the button you would like to program and press it for a short time. Coffee is released into the cup.
4
As soon as the desired quantity of coffee is reached, press the button again. Thus, the dose for the chosen
button has been programmed.
•
Please note that the doses can vary if different quantities of coffee are used for coffee
preparation or if the imposed pressure on the coffee is different while tamping.
•
Every button can be re-programmed at any time.
5.3 Activation of the pre-infusion
During pre-infusion, the coffee grounds are dampened prior to the espresso extraction and slowly well up. This
makes the coffee puck more stable and keeps it from being destroyed by the high brewing pressure. Furthermore, the
oils and aromas are able to develop prior to extraction.
Please follow below steps to activate the pre-infusion:
Only the left brew group is used to set up pre-infusion.
1
The machine is turned off.
2
Depress button 1 (1 espresso) and at the same time switch the machine on. The button becomes illuminated.
Release the button.
3
Turn the machine off.
4
When the machine is then switched on again, the pre-infusion on all brew groups is activated on buttons 1 (1
espresso) and 2 (large cup) only. No provisions for a pre-infusion have been made for buttons 3 and 4.
