- Only for professional Alex model you can disable the resistance of the boiler
steam by reducing energy consumption (section 13 page 8);
- turn on the steam diffuser by moving the handgrip in the counter-clockwise
direction;
- you have now primed the pump which begins to fill both the boiler and heat
exchanger; this first fill up process speeds up a little when the steam diffuser
stays turned on; this procedure is only recommended during operation, as the
machine is fitted with a vacuum valve unit which ventilates the machine
during normal heating.
- the pump is deactivated as soon as the water fill up process of both boilers is
finished.
- turn off the steam diffuser again; the appliance’s heating phase starts
- during first fill up almost the whole water content has been drawn out of the
reservoir, so we recommend that you refill it immediately.
- set the manual lever to the upper position and exit about a coffee-cup of
water. Then set the manual lever to the lower position again.
* IMPORTANT: the lack of water might cause serious damage to the pump
and/or heating element and any warranty claim is to be rejected.
Therefore, in case a change in sound should be audible during the pump's operation and pressure
simultaneously falls as shown by the gauge, it is necessary to
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF
THE ESPRESSO MACHINE.
Restart
This appliance has already been used and is cold now. Proceed as follows to switch on the
machine in the morning or when necessary:
- check there is enough water inside the reservoir.
- press the main switch, whose built-in control indicator lights up; the heat
control led lights up.
- please wait until the required operating pressure of around 1,5 BAR has been
reached, which can be read on the pressure gauge; the machine has reached
its operating temperature and the heat control led also lights up.
- exit a small quantity of water from the brewing group now.
