Filling of Boiler
Never switch on the machine if the boiler is not filled with
water! Open boiler top 1 and fill with fresh water not exceeding
the top (‘max’) of the water level indicator 2. The amount of
water in the boiler is therewith roughly two pints. Close boiler
top thoroughly, as well as the steam tab 3. Open the fresh
water tank lid 14 and fill the tank to the marker (do not let it
over- flow). Close the lid. While the water in the boiler used for
the steam, the water in the tank is used for the espresso. The
capacity of the tank will provide for 25 cups espresso.
Connect the machine to the power supply. Place the lid back
on the water tank. The water in the fresh water tank will be
used for the making of the espresso. The electrical pump will
guide the water through the boiler right into the brew group.
The water in the boiler is used for creating steam.
Machine pre-heating and getting it ready for use
In order for all the parts of the machine to have reached the
right temperature as well as the needed water pressure, the
machine should be switched on at least 10 minutes before its
use. Attention: The machine will be hot! Please be aware that
the boiler is always filled with the adequate amount of water.
To heat up the portafilter 6 with the required porta basket,
place it into the brew group 8 through turning it slightly to the
right. (see image 01 and 02).
The control lamp in the extraction button 5 switches on and
off. This shows that the automatic regulation of the boiler in
