Removing The Outer Shell
Warning: Unplug the machine from the outlet before removing the outer shell. Failure to do so may cause injury
and/or electrical shock. The manufacturer and its distributors assume no liability for failure to follow this warning.
To remove the outer shell, remove the top cup warming
tray. Under the cup warming tray there are 4 phillips
screws to remove and then the top panel will lift off.
Unscrew the two 10mm hex bolts shown in the picture
to the right. An open end or adjustable wrench can be
used.
After removing the hex bolts grab the outer shell on the
bottom of both sides and then lift the shell up and off
of the machine.
Setting Pump (Brew) Pressure
To set the pump pressure unplug the machine and
remove the outer shell as outlined above.
Locate the pump in the back left corner of the
machine.
To adjust the pump pressure use a slotted screw-
driver to turn the adjustment screw shown in the
picture to the right. Turn clockwise to increase the
pressure, counter clockwise to decrease.
The recommended setting is 9 bar. The pressure may vary based on your line pressure or if
you are using the machine in plumbed mode versus reservoir mode. When plumbed in it is
normal to see some pressure shown in the pump gauge when it is not being used which is
showing the line pressure to the machine.
If you have fluctuating water pressure at your location then it may be necessary to install a
water pressure regulator valve to keep the pressure consistent. It may also be necessary to
adjust the pump pressure again after installing the pressure regulator valve due to the change
in water pressure.
