First Time Operation 

 

For first time "out of the box" operation we recommend you clean the inside of your la Pavoni machine.  
Follow the simple procedures below: 

 

1.  FILL THE BOILER (9) WITH WATER UNTIL THE WATER LEVEL REACHES THE TOP OF THE 

SIGHT GLASS (5).  

2.  ADD A POWDER COFFEE DESCALER, A PACK HAS BEEN INCLUDED WITH YOUR MACHINE. 

3.  CLOSE THE BOILER CAP (3) AND STEAM KNOB (4). 

4.  TURN THE MACHINE ON AND ALLOW IT TO REACH OPERATING TEMPERATURE (THE 

PRESSURE GAUGE (7) IN THE GREEN ZONE.) LEAVE THE MACHINE ON FOR 10 FULL 

MINUTES. WATER MAY EXIT FROM THE SAFETY VALVE, THIS IS NORMAL. PLACE A 

PAPER TOWEL OVER THE BASE OR LET THE WATER DRIP INTO THE BASIN. 

5.  AFTER 10 MINUTES PLACE A CONTAINER UNDER THE GROUP (11) AND SLOWLY RAISE 

THE LEVER (1). 

6.  DISCHARGE WATER UNTIL THE SIGHT GLASS SHOWS A 1/4 TANK OF WATER REMAINING. 

7.  LOWER THE LEVER (1) AND SWITCH THE POWER OFF (6). YOU MAY THEN RAISE THE 

LEVER (1) AGAIN AND ALLOW THE REMAINING WATER TO EXIT. 

 

WHEN ALL WATER AND STEAM HAS EXITED, REPEAT STEPS 

 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 & -7 AGAIN TO FLUSH OUT ALL THE SOLUTION. 

 

 
There are currently many coffee descalers available on the market, such as "Urnex" coffee 
descaler. These are usually made of all natural citric powders. Your favorite coffee store can 
advise you where to purchase these cleaners, or call us at 800/927-0277 for additional 
information on where to purchase Urnex Coffee descaler or visit our website, 
www.europeangift.com   This cleaning procedure should be repeated 4 to 5 times a year 
depending on usage. 
 
Your machine may show moisture in the sight glass, this is normal. 

ALL

 la Pavoni machines  

are tested prior to packing and shipping to insure their reliability. 
 
Owners of copper/brass machines should be aware that the boiler (9) is made of solid copper 
which is polished and then coated with lacquer.  These units require 

NO

 maintenance. 

Never 

use any copper cleaner or  abrasives to clean

.  Use a damp cloth to clean. 

 
Since copper is a natural material it will gradually turn a darker amber color with use, this is 
normal.  This natural  “aging” process will enhance the beauty of your machine.
