Now you can start up your machine:
1
Take off the cup heater tray. Remove silicone hose from the water tank and put them aside.
2
Take off the water tank and clean it carefully. Then reinsert it and replace the silicon hose into the water tank.
3
Fill the water tank with fresh water, deficient in lime. Replace the cup heater tray.
4
Insert the plug in the wall socket. Turn the power switch to “1“. The machine is now on.
5
The green control lamp lights up.
6
The pump begins to operate filling the boiler of the machine with fresh water.
7
As soon as the filling-up of the boiler is finished, no pump noise is hearable anymore; the orange control lamp is
now on. As soon as the fresh water sinks down to a certain level in the fresh water tank, the machine is switched
off and the signal of the orange control lamp goes out. Now refill fresh water. The machine heats up
automatically.
8
As a large amount of water is required for the first filling of the boiler, refill the water tank with fresh water.
9
Wait until the boiler pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0 -1.2 bar.
10
A manual “boiler ventilation“ is not necessary because the MECHANIKA III is equipped with a professional
depression valve that ventilates the boiler in the heat-up phase.
11
Move the group lever into the upper position and dispense approx. 250 ml of water. In this way, the heat
exchanger will be filled with water and the circulation of the water in the thermosyphon system begins.
12
Move the group lever into the lower position and refill the water tank.
13
The machine is now ready for use. Put the cups on the cup heater tray in order to preheat them and enjoy your
coffee.

use
The switched off machine will be put into operation as follows:
1
Make sure there is sufficient water in the water tank.
2
Turn the machine on (power switch in position “1”).
3
Wait until the pressure gauge indicates approx. 1.0-1.2 bar.
4
Depending on the ambient temperature, the heat-up phase is approx. 15 minutes.
5
The machine is now ready for use.
6
Move the group lever with the inserted filter holder into the upper position and release some hot water. Thus,
the filter holder will be completely heated.
8 Preparing
coffee
Use the filter holder with 1 spout and the correspondent filter (1 cup) for the preparation
of 1 cup. Use the filter holder with 2 spouts and the big filter (2 cups) for the
preparation of 2 cups. Make sure that the filter is firmly locked in the filter holder.
Put the ground coffee (with the respective grinding degree for espresso or Café Crème)
into the filter.
Use
1 level measuring-spoon
of coffee for each cup (approx. 7 g).
Do not overfill the measuring-spoon, like shown in the figure aside!
Slightly compress the ground coffee with the tamper. Clamp the filter holder firmly to the group.
Only freshly ground coffee allows an optimal coffee result. Therefore, use a professional coffee grinder. In our
assortment you will find several professional and compact coffee grinders.
Put the cup under the spout of the filter holder (for the preparation of 2 cups, put 1 cup under each spout).
Move the group lever into the upper position. During coffee preparation, the overpressure is conducted into the drip
tray. When the cup is filled, move the group lever into the lower position.
The remaining pressure / water will be discharged into the drip tray by the lower part of the infusion piston.
If the group lever is not moved into the lower position properly, hot water and grounds disposal can squirt out of the
group while taking out the filter holder. This can cause injuries.
