STEAM FUNCTION IN MANUAL MODE (ONLY FOR MODELS ATHENA 8 AND ATHENA 8 PLUS)
If you find any problem while recharging the boiler automatically, this mode allows you to use the
steam function. By following these simple operations, the water recharge of the boiler becomes
MANUAL instead of AUTOMATIC.
WE SUGGEST TO USE THIS FUNCTION ONLY IF IT IS REALLY NECESSARY.
1. When the machine is cold and it is not under pressure, fill the
boiler through the opening of the safety plug (fig. 7a), then close
it by screwing the plug and pressing it downwards
2. Press keys “A” and “C” at the same time for a few seconds, until
the message “BAS” appears on the display
3. Make sure that the boiler pilot light is on (key “A”) and that the
pilot light of the electrical accessories is off (key “C”). Pilot light
“D” will warn the user when the steam is ready.
4. When the hot water is finished, the message “H2O” will appear
on the display, pilot light “F” will be on and the steam will not be
supplied anymore; now disconnect the feeding cable, wait at least
20 minutes, then unscrew the safety plug a bit to release the residual pressure
(PAY ATTENTION TO THE STEAM THAT MAY COME OUT).
After releasing the residual pressure, repeat these operations from point 1.
NOTES: DO NOT TURN THE BOILER ON IF IT IS EMPTY, SINCE THE RESISTANCE COULD BE DAMAGED
(THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS KIND OF DAMAGE).
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH OR OPEN THE SAFETY PLUG WHEN THE BOILER IS ON OR
WHEN IT IS UNDER PRESSURE! DANGER OF BURNING!
BOILER WASHING
1. Disconnect the feeling cable
2. Make sure that the boiler is cold
3. Fill the boiler with water through the opening of the safety
plug (to wash it with a scale-remover, contact an authorized
assistance service).
4. Connect the feeling cable. DO NOT TURN THE BOILER ON.
5. Adjust the suction power to the maximum level
6. Connect the hose to the machine and the proper accessory to
the handgrip.
7. Insert the accessory tube until it reaches the boiler bottom.
8. Suck the water until the boiler is completely emptied.
If it is necessary, repeat from point 1, until the sucked water is clean.
NOTES: WHEN THE BOILER IS WASHED, FILL IT WITH BOILER (FOR THE NEXT USES) BEFORE CLOSING
THE SAFETY PLUG.
