5.4 Deactivating the pre-infusion
Please follow below steps to deactivate the pre-infusion:
Only the left brew group is used to deactivate pre-infusion.
1
The machine is turned off.
2
Depress button 2 (1 large cup) and at the same time switch the machine on. That button becomes illuminated.
Release the button.
3
Switch the machine off.
4
When the machine is then switched on again, the pre-infusion on both brew groups is deactivated.
6 USE OF THE MACHINE
6.1 Preparation of the machine
The switched off machine is to be placed into operation as follows:
1
Make sure that there is water pressure in the supply hose.
2
Turn the machine on (power switch in position “2”).
3
Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.25 bars.
4
Depending on the ambient temperature, the heating-up phase is approx. 45 minutes.
5
The machine is now ready for use.
6
Before preparing the first coffee, clamp the porta filter into the brew group and press the desired button of the
control panel. Release some water from the brew group. This way, the porta filter has an optimum temperature.
7
The regulation of the pump pressure takes place via the adjustment
screw at the bottom of the machine (Pic. 1). In order to read the
current pump pressure, insert the porta filter with blind filter into any of
the brew groups and press the Star-button. The current pump pressure
can be read from the gauge. Stop the water flow by pressing the Star-
button once again. Now start the adjustment of the pump pressure and
repeat point 7 until the desired pressure has been reached. The pump
pressure changes with the change in the plumbing pressure.

It is recommended to leave the porta filters in the brew groups, keeping them warm for the
optimum temperature for coffee dispension.
6.2 Preparing coffee
Use the porta filter with 1 spout and the corresponding filter (1 cup) for the preparation of 1 cup.
Use the porta filter with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the preparation of 2 cups.
1
For espresso, i.e. Café Crème, fill the finely ground coffee into the corresponding filter. (
approx. 7 – 9g per cup).
Please make sure that the filter is inserted firmly into the porta filter.
2
Evenly compress the ground coffee with a tamper. The tamping pressure should be around 20 kg.
3
Clamp the porta filter firmly into the brew group.
4
Place the cup under the spout of the porta filter. (For the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout.)
5
Press the button with the programmed dose of coffee you would like to brew. As soon as the programmed dose
is reached, the brewing stops automatically and the remaining water is released into the drip tray.
Remaining pressure / water is released through the lower portion of the brew group.
•
Only freshly ground coffee allows for an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a professional
coffee grinder. In our assortment you will find several professional coffee grinders.
•
We recommend to use a stainless steel tamper with a diameter of 58 mm for optimum tamping.
